Resolution Song

Levi Lewis! Now I know who's been doing this.

You're gonna hear about this from your father!

Mother! Time for supper.

Lucia Marie, take those out!

Girl, don't you make me have to...

Now, Mama.

You know where that's gonna lead.

You know it's in my nature, child.

You are so irritating.

Really?

Marcus, I asked you to please not slam the door.

Bow your heads.

Father God, thank you for this family,

this food and your many blessings.

Bless this food that will nourish our bodies in your name,

Jesus, as we all say... As we all say...

Amen.

Levi, really?

Slow moving. So annoying.

You know why I'm late, Levi?

Because I had a call from Mr. Thompson. Dad!

I have enough stress,

with you once more running over his leaves

is the last thing I need.

Dad, I said I'm sorry. That's what you said the last time, Levi!

I was sorry last time, too.

Don't you mock me, boy!

Marcus, please.

You got something to say?

Dad, truly,

I apologize.

Pick that up! I'm getting it.

You gonna go in the morning

and you gonna rake his leaves for him.

But I have practice in the morning and...

You should've thought of that before.

You love your neighbor as you love yourself, Levi. You got that, boy?

Yes, sir. Huh?

Yes, sir.

You were quiet last night.

A woman cannot survive on peanut butter spoon alone.

Not much else to survive on.

Out of milk again?

My bad. Milk bad.

Oh.

If you can't beat 'em...

Uh, you need to be dropped off at work?

Um, yeah.

Please do. I'll be ready in ten.

Bri! Dad! Dad, you okay?

Dad, it's okay, I'm okay.

Do you need to go back and get your meds, or...

No! No!

No, I'm fine.

It's okay. I'll be fine.

Just go ahead.

All good here, Bri? Yeah.

My hand just slipped.

You working on what we talked about?

It's not that easy.

It's up to you.

Girl, don't you make me have to...

You got a lot of learning to do.

Mama, please!

Don't please me, please yourself.

Girl, you're like water been on too long,

you're 'bout to boil off.

Get up off that table.

Miss me, now you gotta kiss me.

Oh, girl.

You gone be the death of me.

Mother, I asked you not to hide the remotes.

You know how Marcus feels about it.

Well, when he get to the point where he wants 'em,

Marcus know where to find 'em, now don't he?

All righty.

Uh-huh.

You sure you don't have something else to do until I finish?

I mean, I'm gonna be here for a while.

I think this about as far as Mama wanna go for a while.

Point to point.

Mother, why don't you just let me help you with that?

Well, who taught you?

Well, then, that answers that then, don't it?

Huh.

That'll be the number one prodigal returning safe and sound.

Hallelujah.

I guess I will go on to the bathroom

before dinner.

Everything's moving,

and Mama grooving.

In Jesus' name, let the good children say...

Amen!

Amen!

So,

Janay's having a sleepover tonight and she invited me.

Is her parents going to be there?

Her mom will be.

Not her father?

I'm sure, Mama, if she knew who her father was she would let you know.

It's "Mother."

I'm sure, Mother, if she knew...

Girl, is the light bulb over your head burnt out?

Let me help you with that, Mother.

I got it. Well, all right.

You can go, baby girl.

Thanks, Daddy.

Mmm-hmm.

I promise I'll clean up my room and do my homework in the morning.

Okay.

Hey, Marg, I got to go into the office tomorrow for a while.

Here we go.

I thought you said that you were

done with Saturdays and that that project was over.

I guess this is a new one.

This is a new project.

Well, this is the sacrifice you gotta make.

You want food on the table?

It's either this or Sunday. No!

No!

I understand.

Well, if, if I was gone...

Mother!

Will water help?

Come on. Lift 'em up!

Woman, if you didn't take such big bites...

Marcus, not now!

Don't disrespect me in my house.

Lean back.

Work is calling.

Okay, gross. I'm going.

I'm going to get dressed.

Thank you, Jesus.

I thought I was gonna meet Jesus.

But at least it was nice to know it would

have been over some fine home cooking.

Oh-oh.

Ooh.

Saturday's all set, baby.

Be available for you all day Sunday.

Not a problem.

Mmm. This is the best salad.

That was good.

It started good.

That's all.

Thanks.

I was working on the ending when I got home.

I like your bridge, though.

It's what's been missing.

You're too quick to keep the G.

It shouldn't resolve so easily.

That's what I was thinking, too.

Maybe not the way people think it should.

I can go get my guitar and show you.

Yeah,

you're probably right.

I'm right a lot.

Not that it matters.

What's wrong?

Levi.

Levi Lewis.

Get over here!

Bye, Daddy, see you tomorrow.

Uh-huh.

Hey, ya'll.

Turn up.

Hi, Ms. Thompson. How you doin'?

That was good, guys. See you later.

Brianna, you ready?

No.

Why not?

Can we talk in private?

Sure.

Come in my office.

Everything okay?

Look, I'm trying here.

I'm not trying to be BFFs or anything.

It's personal.

You wouldn't want to be involved.

Rock the boat.

Boat's already rocking.

Is it the same thing?

You know?

I've always known.

You haven't fixed it?

Too many things to fix.

Low priority.

Look.

We haven't been talking,

but it's got to start somewhere.

I could help you, you know.

We could help each other.

Then you won't feel indebted.

Good job.

Thanks Mr. N.Yeah.
