Subtitles by Kay Cee

You play in a band?

I'm kind of a guitar player for hire

Oh, what band were you playing with?

I played with Albert King, Skinner,

No, No

Muddy Waters, B B King.

hey, hey, hey, you put down! /You play this thing?

Put my damn guitar down. he don't play.

Why wont you just shut up! you give his...

Put my guitar back/Shut up Lonna



Why don't you put my guitar down/ Want your guitar?

Yeah ...here it is!

Jesus.. guys

Did you get that approved?

Oh, come on. You have diet house bands out the Wazoo.

Don't call it diet house. Everybody calls it that.

Well is derogatory. It's a nutrition center.

Now listen Ed, we got to huddle about this band.

I'm getting complaints and plenty of them.

Nobody likes to see a bunch of convicts... skulking around the campus.

Beside that the band sounds terrible.

You're the most annoying brother alive.

All we need is a little practice.

Oh no!



And look, here's my new guitar player.

You guys got a tub here?

Nothing like a good long soak. You know what I'm saying?

Wesley Benfield. You have been arrested 13 times.

Only five convictions.

I got blamed for a lot of shit did not do.

Watch your mouth.

This is a house of the Lord. I will not tolerate foul language.

That is rule number one.

Sorry,The Lord is my shepherd.

Are you being sarcastic? Because if you are the deputy will march you right back to jail.

No, I'm not. I'm sorry. I've been to Sunday school. I read the Bible a lot.

Yeah, take a look at my file there sir. It'll tell you where I was raised up

At the orphanage down in Bonneville.

They made us read the bible

I've written out whole sections out by hand...

In detention.

I bet that was quite often.

That was the old me.

Look sir, if you could just find a mustard seed of forgiveness,

I promise you won't regret it.

OK, Rhodell. He's a keeper.

Listen, you screw this up.

I'm going to come up here,

Take off my jewelry and whip your little white ass.

Oh, language Rhodell.

That's why I started a band. Healing criminal minds through music is my main focus.

This is the girls wing. The boys are down here.

We have an honor system, but I will be checking.

What kind of music y'all play.

Hymns, Hello Raymond.

Hymms?

Yes Hymms, I thought you went to church.

Oh my Ben, you're supposed to be down painting the porch.

Man.. I don't feel good. Well, clean off that bed. You've got a new roommate?

Come on, get busy.

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, look now. Okay.

This, this, this cat right here, He just got out of jail right

Okay. now this is no good.

Okay, hold on man. Hey, what are you putting us on the floor?

Why? Cause Mr. Ned told me to

Listen, man. This is no good. Okay. How am me and Lonnie supposed to get clean?

How am me and Lonnie supposed to get all back on track again

If you keep bringing troublemakers up in here,

Alright? Taken him down the hall, let Raymond deal with him.

You Know Raymond lives in a closet....is gonna mess me up

Man I'm already messed up.

I decide who goes where, not you.

And remember a soft answer turns away wrath,

But a harsh word stirs up anger.

That's proverbs

Yes,... it is.

Make yourself comfortable.

You some kind of Jesus Freak.

You know, Jesus comes out a lot different when you read the Bible straight through

He caused some trouble,

He stirred up some things.

Okay, thank you.

Let's go Lonnie./ Alright.

You did that last week, man. A smart man...You did that last week.

This was mama's favorite.

You may have to share.

Hello Raymond, ladies.

Raymond why don't you try the bongos today?

Oh, Wesley welcome, oh you've met Ben and Lonnie.

This is Raymond, Shanita and Angie.

And where's your guitar? I'll just play that one.

Would you be more comfortable with your guitar?.... You know what?

It's old and beat up. I just rather play that one.

But we're not fancy here.

That one's fine, Mr. S. /Very well. Okay, kids follow me.

Blessed Assurance

Sing out Raymond.

Not too fast, slow down.

I can't hear you singing Lonnie

Get up, get up, Wesley wake up

Get up and put on this tee shirt.

What on earth is wrong with Ben?/What on earth is wrong with you Mr.

Get dressed/ Mr. Seers/ and get downstairs. We are waiting.

His Majesty is coming down now.

And you going to leave the door. you going to close the door?

No, he going to break the door.

Can you have some respect for the van please?

it's not your van

I know it's not my van, slamming like it's dominoes, man.

But Mr. Seer put me in charge of it,/ ooh watch out

Hey girl....Shake that ass, Shake that ass ,

Hey, hey... you all stop it!

Clean the eggs up, man

What, what, what,

Shanita who going to clean this up... /ah ah, that's not my problem, that's not my problem.

Here he comes the little sorry ass, look, look at him, look at him.

Asshole egg slopping fool

Oh y'all going to be like that, fine!

Watch it, hey.

Need to watch where you're going, bro.

Hey. I'm talking to you. You need to slow down, man. you are going to run somebody over.

It'll do about a hundred.

What is it a rocket ship.../its a Plymouth.

Oh yeah, sure. Yeah, it's a Plymouth. What year is it, buddy? Maybe it's worth the money.

It's 1963,

4 door hardtop. 318 cubic inch twin valves, and Torqueflite transmission.

What color is it?

What do you think?

I have no idea. There's nothing there.

Desert Beige Caramel,

er, er, er, er, er, er, er.

Hey buddy you miss a spot

No buddy right here

er, er, er, er, er, er, er.

Is a clean windshield.

Where is he? He got a new owl.

Careful. Careful gingerly now. Very good. That's nice. Careful. Now

Since we put it in that box, I think a whole...the fish always stinks from the head,

Hey ain't she a beauty Ned... we're supposed to be playing a Spring Fling.

Boys give me Just a moment. Keep your voice down.

Keep your voice down. I signed us up over a month ago. We were playing.

Spring fling is from Ballard student body. Not those convicts. They're not enrolled.

Don't say convicts. It's derogatory. They're at risk youth.

Oh, too bad. They're not fat, Maybe then you care.

Do you have any idea how much money that nutrition center brings into this college?

I'm glad mom is not alive to see this.

How is it every time I bring up, excuse me. How is it every time I bring up something, it don't matter,

Hey, hold on we all eat together.

Where is Wesley Benfield?

Ben, you are the designated driver.

Um, I don't know.

Mr. Seer, he just disappeared

And you just left. Why wasn't I notified?

But I thought I could count on you. I am disappointed.

I am extremely disappointed.

Hey, Mr Sears. It's, it wasn't his fault. I was walking.

That is against the rules.

I have to know where you are at all times.

Every second of the day. Is that clear?

Yes sir. It had better be.

May I remind you all that you are in a halfway house,

Which means you are halfway in jail already

And you will be all the way in unless you straighten up.

I just got word today. They might pull our funding

Jail? Yes, from whence you cometh.

Raymond, let me have that.

Now, people, let's get serious. We have five days until spring fling

This our chance to show the whole school...Wait a minute, Wait a minute, the whole school?

Yes. Everyone will be there.

So let's get busy. Let's practice, Let's get better...

And lets us pray.

Tell me how we're supposed to get up in front of the whole damn school

And play this butt Numbing crap...Do you think we like it

But don't come over here s starting all this trouble. You heard what the man said? We could go back to jail.

What did you guys go to jail for anyway?

That's none of your business.

Well, I got in a fight with my boyfriend

So.

So I shot him.

In the leg, He's fine. You know he's not dead.

They said that it was attempted manslaughter.

But I say asshole slaughter is more like it.

So I guess you better just played a guitar and shut up.

Wesley, That is not funny.

Yeah, I know. It's not funny...you got to walking around here like a bunch of organ grinder Monkeys,

Ooh, who you calling monkeys?

Hey Man I called us all, monkeys

Pipe down Wesley. Nobody flies solo here. We're a team.

I can't do it.

I'll do anything else. Give me another job. I'll paint the whole house.

Oh No. If you're not in the band, you're not in the house.

Sorry, Kid shows the over. Wrap up equipment. I'll be in the van.

Mr S . Wait a minute, , Can we talk about this?

I can believe he said that...Slow down...Mr S, come on.. freaking Wesley, man

Wesley. yo, I left my music in there. Go get it.

Fine. Whatever...

Hey thou I Walk through the Valley of the shadow of bad music

Hey man who is that? Vernon.

Ned what happened? What's going on?

Nothing. Everything is fine. We're getting ready to head over to spring fling.

Well, I've got a new client over there, a high roller from Kansas City

All of a sudden I got these lights flashing and deputies running around. You know what that looks like.

This is not working out.

We had the first group to perform. What do you think of a noble defenders of the word?

I think it was the last nail in your coffin.

Thanks. Lot.

Hello? Hey Man. whats Going on. Hey, can I come inside?

Look, I know this is gonna sound really crazy,

But you think maybe you can come down there with me and play that song you just played.

Just one time.

Come on man, you gotta come down here and if you don't come down there, with me

Them People down there, They don't put me back in jail.

I gotta go ask my dad. He's at the shop,

No you don't. We just go right now. Nobody didn't have to know.

Well, he's the boss of me. That's okay. Just come do this with me please.

We discuss, oh man... this is chance for you to really stand out

Those are old fashion, i don't want to stand out

Noooo...we'll discuss this later

Anyway is what I say, what do you say?

Raymond can not be on guitar.

Too many people

Hey...What are you doing Vernon?

Since when do board members go to spring fling? Is a special occasion Ned.

The board might want to see the band in action.

No, it's perfectly fine. If you're walking backwards, see, then nobody out here can see

Don t leave me by myself, I promise I wont leave you by yourself.

Promise... Vernon, Jesus Christ. I promise. I won't leave you by yourself. All right,

They got a piano? Yeah. All you gotta do is get up and play.

I bet it ain't tuned

Watch your step to step up with your foot. Don't turn. Don't turn around.

See

Tell me when you're ready

We like to give everyone a chance, but some people are just not Ballard material

Guys, come on, yo guys get up here!

Wesley, who is that? This my friend Vernon, he is going to play with us.

Come on, lets go... what's going on?

Vernon, where you going, where you going, what do you doing?... the bushes, I got to pee,... well finish the song first.

I have to pee bad, What do you want me to do, Vernon, look is full

Guys? Excuse me from a buddy here. You really have to go to the bathroom.

Ah Vernon, what the hell, I told you had to go, you weren't kidding

But is OK, its happened to everybody in some time

I don't think so, we are not special.

Yes you are. You are a special kind of asshole.

What you call me, you heard What I said? Aren't you in enough trouble?

What's going on? The board of trustees out there loving this music.

See, I told you he could play... my pants are wet.

OK boys get out of here. Go on. That's enough.

I'll see you later... I'll be waiting.

He's got to get back up there. We're here at Vernon. Take my pants.

You have to come... No, no, no. You're killing them up there.

You do not need me...Yes I do, You promised.

Oh Lord. Take my pants,

Hurry on boys, get a move on.

Here Vernon, take these pants, go in there and put them on please.

We have to sign this young man, I see you around town

Driving... a Plymouth...4 door, hard top, 318 cubic inch

Wonderful. Wonderful. I think the band should be all young people.

My god Wesley, I've got to hand it to you. Seek and Ye shall find.

Let's see. You had to go to jail. No Sir. Not Today.

Great job Ned...Ned the band they were terrific. Thank you. Luther

Thanks,...What about using it for founders day? Well, let's not get carried away here.

That's an excellent idea. Luther, the kids that come such a long way.

You know, they had a whole new dimension to Ballard. Might even attract new money.

Listen yo. I'm only gonna say this once, You save us man.

Yeah, you did. I appreciate it., No problem. But it wasn't me. It was him.

What is up man. Thanks...I'm Ben.

Alright, you going to be in band... OK

Hello. Hi. I'm the executive director of the Back On Track Again house.

Oh Great. Do you mind if I ask you some questions? I'm doing a story for the Democrat leader.

Absolutely. We need to drum up some support. Our funding is about to be cut.

That band is the most exciting thing to happen to Ballard in a long time.

You'll have to ask Deermont. He's the big cheese around here.

Who? Ellen, I'm sure we can work something out.

I'll leave you two alone. Ned why don't you Put some pants on

I'm getting accustomed to these.

Anyway, I started this program called Christian criminal rehabilitation

Are the criminals, all Christian.

Oh yes. They just don't know it yet

And you have to understand the band is not just a band.

I am perfecting the use of Christian music to infiltrate and heal the criminal mind.

It just pauses it just blowing my focus. Oh, okay.

Hey Vernon, please. You have to stop that rocking

You gotta get your hands on. you just need you to be still for a minute.

Hey, wait wait, wait...hey Vernon, Vernon

Is he alright, i don't have Any idea what is happening? what do you want me to do. Vernon, Vernon, Vernon,

Daddy... Well, he went crazy. Something going wrong. You say something about his rocking.

Daddy...It's alright. It's alright...daddy... It's alright. Come on. i got some tomatoes in the house, Come on. Come

Come on man. Something's wrong with him. We can't just go. Okay. I'm not going anywhere. Not going anywhere. Not going anywhere

Slashed. I just calm down, I'm not about this man.

What are y'all doing with him? You need to tell me or you can tell the sheriff

Nothing, sir. We were just. He was down at the school helping us have plants in music. That's all

How that happened

You're on special ed. No. No. Wait.

We're in a band. Yeah, kind of a Christian man. \I hate that crap.

Go on get outta here.

Actually sir, we was kind of hoping that maybe Vernon could come play music with us.

There's about a dog's chance in hell of that happening.

Vernon's music is for Vernon. He don't play with nobody.

He played with us and he's got a gift. He ought to be out in the world.

You trying to tell me how to raise my son. No Sir.

Well you best not, and where the hell are his bridges.

He peed them

You know? I think you two done enough for Vernon.

You church boys. Just get back in truck., Go back where you come from...now

Yes sir

Where's my Plymouth? It's right over there. Vernon. We towed it.

Is Vernon. Okay? Yeah, he's okay. What did his parents say.

Hmm... I only met his dad, and...

And?... and we can't talk about is rocking anymore because that's why I got upset.

Okay, fine. We can handle that.

I've been thinking what a tremendous asset he is going to be. You were so right. He's already made such a great change.

Uh, you know what? I'm gonna head upstairs because I don't feel too good. Well, take care of yourself.

Good Work Benjamin. Thank you. Mr. S.

I am going to have to speak with his father and get his permission.

No, that's probably not good idea, Mr. let me take care of that. Okay, fine. You were handling.

Wesley I told the sheriff I'm giving you another chance. I don't want any problems.

You got that? Yes sir. Especially since Verdun is not a resident of BOTA house,

Although he is definitely disadvantaged, in which case he'll fit right in. Do you know what I mean?

Yeah. He'll fit right in.

Wesley, I'm glad to see you getting back on track. I know we had our little misunderstandings, but you really came through for the band

Guide me in my efforts to help the noble defenders of the word. Glorify your name. Amen.

Raymond your Turn to help to Flip.

I'm Serious, I think we can do with this kid. With Vernon?

Look men you know you don't even know this kid already. Did you see what he did.

Ben? Seriously how you guys can in your life out selling coke

So now you see that, that is some to serious racial profiling, yes it is.

For your information. We were real musicians, we was raised in the church.

Long before we wrote them. Bad checks.

If you guys are real musicians and you should be primed to play the blues.

Wesley, The Blues is Wax Museum. It's not wax museum.

Vernon, look at the Muscles on that, that too much. that just sick.

Why the numbers on the clock and the circle.

I don't know

Oh, She is new

Seemed like they always go in circle.

Each one by itself

They never line up together or nothing....

That's what think kid...sundial

Just kind of caught on.

Want some bread.

Why can't I play with anybody?

Cause You can't

That boy say I Could

You know I'm going to do today.

I'm going to start on that bus

Oh yeah, I'm going to get it running right.

Let me get this straight. Go in there and cook his daddy port chops to us and then he's going to sign a permission slip

Aha, that's exactly what I'm going to do. no wonder you in a halfway house.

Hey here, here,...thanks... hey don't sit with your back to the door... thanks a lot

Vernon, ah,

Here the Tomato, I Got It.

I' thought I've told you to get.

I just. I came down here because I promised Vernon I would come cook something for him.

Is that right? Vernon. You asked him to come cook?

Pork chops.

You got some nerve. I'm cooking something for you too.

I ain't going to be ready for about a half hour

Then you call me, when is done.

I didn't slice it.

Hey, better be some tasty pork chops.

Don't let Vernon around no electricity.

No Sir.

I blow up some things.

So Vernon, I was kind of hoping maybe later you can come by and maybe we can do some planning, you know,

With your permission. Of course. I play guitar.

Whereabouts do you live exactly,

Down over on ninth street.

Over by the Christian college.

You live in that halfway house? Yup. Near

Yeah

I do Sir.

It's really more like a dorm.

I mean, I don't really take anybody down there unless they're okay.

I mean most people on their bachelors or women and people who don't pose no threat.

How do I know you don't pose no threat.

He just wander into a guy's house.

What you do?

Can I have some ice cream? No, not right now.

I want to know what he did.

Mainly cars, but that was then. I mean, sure...

Look at that burden we got as a guitar picking bandit Car thief right here.

Guitar man, a killer dealers,...no no, your Keller dealer.

That's a good thing, right?

It is to him. It don't mean crap to me.

See, I don't want you and your kind around my son.

So I think you better just get on back to your house now.

Go on, now.

At least get halfway to your house.

Take it easy.

By the way, you do make a good port job. Thanks. You do

Whats your name sport?

You going to answer me or what?

Well you're going or not going. Oh,

Jackass

Hi, Mr. Jackson, I'm Dr. Gwen Bradley

What have you done to Vernon .

He don't even recognize me.

His medication is still wearing off. He arrived in a highly agitated state. No one could control him

I can control him.

He can't be around people.

We tried calling you. The deputy even went out to your house.

Well, I was out looking for Vernon.

All night?... Yeah.

Well, I had to pull over and sleep some.

Has Vernon been tested,the BSC or the aberrant behavior checklist.

Maybe in school.

Mr. Jackson. I would like to test Vernon.

I suspect that he has a high functioning degree of autism.

Vernon needs to learn how to interact. He needs to learn how to read social cues.

Takes time and patience, but it can be done.

And Mr. Jackson, I think that keeping him at home is not the answer.

Yeah, man, i tell you what, it sure was fun, greatest night of my life

Well I hope it was worth it. This house is closing.

Deermont says we have to play founders day since in the paper... where we going to go?

SOB

We just don't give up.

What did he do to you? He ain't got nothing but good for me. I just want to talk

You can't talk to him, cause they got him locked up and said

That's how you treat your friends,

You in the habit of leaving them behind in a club so they can get their ass whooped.

How do you like it? By? if I whooped your ass. Huh? How'd you like that?

I need to talk to Vernon Jackson. only family allowed, I'M sorry.

Can I just talk to a doctor on. I can explain what happened. Please.

You can leave your name and number to me.

Vernon come on, is me

Come on Vernon, what do I Gotta do?

I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry.

I never should have left. You like that?
