A Little Prayer

I've never laid eyes on her.

Have you?

Nope.

Did you know that last one?

Yeah. I- I think so.

Yeah, I did.

- There's times I do miss us going to church.

The singing.

In Kentucky?

Back in the holler?

Now you say it.

Holler.

I love that.

That's right.

Well,

I don't miss singing the hymns myself,

but I do like the Christmas carols.

I'm kinda rusty.

What is that? French?

Mm-hmm.

- How in the world do you know that?

Well, I get around.

You want me to teach it to you?

Oh.

I couldn't speak French.

- Tammy, you could do pretty much anything

you put your mind to.

Oh, I don't think so.

Hmm.

What?

- You ever heard your mother-in-law Venida sing?

Yeah, you should be glad

we don't go to church no more.

Lord have mercy.

Who can sleep through that woman

making all that racket almost every morning?

What are you gonna do about it?

- There is nothing to do, my dear.

It's worse than a rooster.

And what time is it?

- 7:30. - 7:30.

Oh, good God in heaven.

Tammy, help me.

Thank you, sweetie.

Did it wake David too?

Poor soul.

Is he..?

What time did he get in last night?

Paw Paw,

why don't you tell him

not to work so much?

- You know I can't tell him nothing.

- Well, when I did the books there,

we had no call for that kind of overtime.

Just tell him he needs his sleep.

Oh my god, this coffee's scalding.

- Oh, I'm sorry. You wanna ice cube?

Oh, I got it, sweetie.

Excuse me.

What time was it, Tammy?

It was late.

- We're gonna do something about that woman.

Oh yeah?

- Your father's gonna call the police.

- I am not gonna call the police.

Thank you, dear.

You're welcome.

Did you know he knows French songs?

He sings like a frog.

That's right.

Both father and son are Veterans.

I tell you, we have over 60 years

of providing our customers in the Piedmont Triad

with quality heating and cooling solutions.

- B&B is a name you can definitely trust.

VFW Wednesday?

Oh, I can't wait.

No, I- I haven't,

no, I haven't been here for that long.

Not 60 years. Funny.

But our owner, Bill Brass, has been.

It's a three generation family owned...

Yes, ma'am. I can-

I can put you through to his son, David.

Let me just see if he's in. One moment, please.

Thank you.

Uh, David? Two.

All right, call me right back.

Wednesday?

Uh, Wednesday?

Dancing.

You, me, the whole office again.

There's that same band at the VFW.

- Sure. - Yeah.

Narcedalia?

Yes, Bill?

- Do we have a meeting now?

- Yes. Are you ready?

- I am. - Great.

Alright.

- Hey, you look very nice today, Narcedalia.

Hmm. Thank you.

This is for you.

- Oh, Narcedalia says she can drop mama's laptop

at the house later today. She fixed it.

I gave her the address.

Hmm.

What?

What's wrong?

I don't know. You tell me.

Narcedalia?

What are you talking about?

What?

Is there something,

or is it just, I don't know,

the way you flirt?

David, you know you can't do that these days.

Okay. It's no big deal.

You're not stupid.

There you go. You're a genius.

Good man.

- Yeah, I knew we'd work the ghost out eventually.

Thank you, Hector.

It's not my business, is it?

Nope, it's not, frankly.

Oh my.

She keeps beating the pants off of me.

I've never even heard of that word.

Oh, great God in heaven.

It's Patti.

Patti's here?

- Patti? - And Hadley?!

I swear to God.

No...

Honey, we're here.

We're here, so stop screaming at me for Christ's sake.

I don't want to go.

Jesus Christ.

Did she leave him again?

I don't know.

- She brought her metal detector.

Okay.

She left him.

Damn it to hell.

Ohh, thank you.

Thank you so much.

Okay.

Hadley?

- Is it okay if I take your backpack?

Well. Okay.

- Hey! - Hey sweetie.

- Can you help me with this, Mama?

- Oh. - Okay.

- Oh my God. Here. - Hey.

Oh my God, here.

Hey. Oh my gosh.

Oh, daddy,

can you get this for me, please?

Thank you.

Oh, oh, oh. Here, daddy.

Oh, careful, careful, careful.

- You got the kitchen sink in there, too?

I had to bring everything.

I gotta pee so bad.

I gotta pee so bad.

Sorry.

Oh my god.

I'm so hungry.

I gotta get something to eat or I'm gonna faint.

- How was your drive? - Oh my God.

It was a trip from hell.

I mean, it rained the whole way from Virginia.

- Well just a call, maybe, Patti,

to let us know your plans?

- You never listen to your voicemail.

I mean, how am I supposed to tell you what's going on?

You know?

Oh, I have to pee like a racehorse.

Oh, no, not the kitchen towel-

We have the paper towels.

Tammy, can you get this,

'cause I swear to God, if I don't go right now,

y'all gonna have to clean me up too.

Hadley, stop. Hadley, honey,

stop pulling on me. I swear to God. Stop.

Hadley. I've miss seeing you.

Would you like something to drink?

Are you tired?

- You think there's something wrong with that child?

No. She's shy.

She should get her tested.

- Oh no, she- she just sees what goes on in

that house and it affects her.

Hey.

Want to come with me?

Ellie has missed you too.

Come on.

Well, she could have called.

I mean, a little warning would've been nice

if she's planning on staying.
