Lord, direct my footsteps

Thank you for protecting
my family.

You've kept us free
from tragedy and illness

and you have given us abundance
of wealth.

Everything.

As long as I have breath
in my body

and your spirit in my heart.

I am your servant
and your faithful soldier.

Amen!

- Oh!

Now, let's just see. Oh, yeah.

- Oh!

Let me see you.

From Norway to LA?

Can you hear me in Australia?
The San Francisco Bay.

The Lord is calling on you now.
He's waiting on the line.

Are you ready?

(cheers and applause)

Are you ready? Are you ready?

'Cause we're running out
of time.

Everything we rehearsed
will be on the teleprompter.

- Okay.
- Eric, stick to the line.

(cheers and applause)

Go get 'em, baby.

(whispering)
I'll see you out there.

THOMAS: ♪ Try to see

Look how far we've come.

25 years.
All things are possible in Him.

Oh, Lord.

Oh, it's nice of the Reverend
to try and upstage me

on my own network
on today of all days.

He'd be nothing without you.

Rose, I think we should get
the wings.

THOMAS: Be that higher love,

and stick around for an extra
special 25th anniversary.

Yeah, that's right!

Go on. Show Margaret your love.

And may God bless you now.

NORAH: And go.

Live from Sunshine Studios

Ladies and gentlemen,
Margaret Monreaux!

Can you believe that?

Unbelievable.

Hello!

Oh, stop that! No!

I did that!
Look what they made me do!

(cheering continues)

Love you!

Thank you for those warm,
welcoming words.

There is something that I need
to say to all of you.

You and the Lord give me
the strength to do what I do,

so thank you.

(cheers and applause)

Now this mama bear has been
starving herself for a month

to squeeze into
those silly wings.

Ladies, I think it's time
we all had some fried chicken.

WOMAN: Ah, there you go!

Cock on the walk!

That cock better not mess
on my carpet.

MAN: Bite that apple, baby.
Yeah, bite it good.

Sorry, Kansas City Beef.
Your card was declined.

What? Can you... can
you run it again?

- Ginger.
- Yeah.

You better go check on your mom.

She's watching
that TV show again.

(groans)

(rooster crowing)

MARGARET: Thank you
to all my mama bears

for 25 years of support.

She has the perfect
pageant wave.

MARGARET: When we come back,

I have an exciting
announcement...

I was watching that.
What are you doing?

(laughs)

- You have to stop.
- No.

- You're obsessed.
- No.

You have a problem.

You know, many
in this country say

that people with our morals

are out of touch or even stupid.

Many of our sponsors wish that
they didn't need your business.

The time has come

to start shopping
in God's light,

so four months from today,

you'll be able to purchase
everything from books,

clothing, and groceries
online from us.

And we can assure you
that every employee,

associate, and vendor...

Mm-hmm.

Will share
your Christian values.

Did you know that some
online retailers

offer pornography
for their subscribers?

- (crowd murmuring)
- ERIC: Yeah.

Yeah, so next to the bleach
in your cart,

you got Drunk Teen Girls
and Boys Gone Wild.

They even sell a product
called Butt Butter.

For every item that you place
in your Praise Cart,

20% of it will go back
to our faith.

To charities and organizations
on the front lines

of God's great commission.

My friends,
I give you Sunny Club.

I'm sorry, Mama.

I know that wasn't
the planned speech.

- No.
- But I...

Subtlety is the footbridge

Amen.

True integrity means

Walk with me, Eric.

I rue the day that Eric
married that man's sister.

They are family now.
We have to treat him as such.

MARGARET: And I do.

Oh, there's my girl!

Why didn't you tell the audience

I designed your outfit?

Confidence is silent, honey.

Insecurities, well,
they're loud.

Coming from the woman with
sparks shooting out her ass?

Baby, that's not insecurity.
That's show biz.

Mama will give you credit
on air Monday morning.

- Thank you, Daddy.
- Mm-hmm.

Don't encourage her.

She wants Sunny Club to carry
that clothing line of hers.

I know, it's her dream,
Margaret,

and I don't know why
we can't just set her up.

It isn't wise
to give children things

- just 'cause they ask for it.
- Mm-hmm.

EUGENE: Oh, honey, I'm sorry.
I'm gonna have to go.

I'm hopping the jet

- Now?
- Yeah.

I was hoping that you and I

would have some time
together tonight.

NEWSCASTER: And right now
the nation mourns the loss

of the man admired
for both his faith

and his principles.

NEWSCASTER: Meanwhile the face

Margaret Monreaux,

Eugene was lying, not you.

No, we were lying

We were one. His lie is my lie.

the crap that I put up with

He had three children

from three different women.

FRANKLIN: While the majority
of Eugene's shares

will go to your mother,

he made a provision
that 5% be divided

equally between his children,

and, well, there are five
of you now.

- That's not my dad.
- Yeah, it kind of was.

Yeah.

Your daddy would have
a few drinks occasionally

and become remorseful,

and he called me and insists
the kids be included

and then later he would
reinstate the original will

- with no extramarital children.
- ROSE: Oh, my God.

It seems the drinky-poo will
was in place

at the time of the crash.

"Always together makes
a family forever."

- What a load of crap.
- What a hypocrite.

Why didn't you stop this?

I never knew about the kids!

He did fess up about
that whore in Vegas.

I was so mad,

we slept in separate bedrooms
for six months,

and he only got handies
for six more.

- Oh, Mama!

This can't be legal,
especially if he was drunk.

I've dealt with
a lot of bastards

to get where I am.

These three will be
no different.

One month ago,

I lost my beloved husband

Then I thought of one
of Eugene's favorite verses.

"Be watchful.

"Stand firm in your faith.

Act like men. Be strong."

Because of Eugene,

because of your faith
in our mission,

I'm back here today...

Because we have work to do
in our great country.

People like us, people of faith,

we are under constant attack,

and now more than ever,

I realize we must all stay
close to our families

and keep them safe.

That's what Eugene
would have wanted,

both at home

and right here with the family
we have in this room.

Always together makes
a family forever.

valuable thing in the world.

I got the place in Pebble Beach.

You got the loft in SoHo.

Now, you know I like
my real estate, Margaret.

Just saying,

taking a moment to look at it
from her side, okay?

After much prayer

I've decided to give each
of you 1%

of the company.

It is what Eugene wanted.

All I ask is that you sign NDAs

of the company
and our interests in it.

1% comes out to 6 million.

Wow.

- Thank you.
- No.

Uh, Ginger, you do realize
that she's being really,

really nice to us right now?

MARGARET: Thank you, Antonio.

JASON: Personally, I wanna say

I will take your offer
and go home

and none of you
have to see me ever,

ever again. I totally promise.

GINGER:
Given there are five of us

including Eric and Rose,

I think 5% is a better number.

$30 million?

And biblically speaking,

the number five symbolizes
God's grace,

goodness,
and favor toward humans.

It's mentioned 318 times
in scripture.

The ten commandments contain
two sets of five commandments.

The first five commandments
are related to our treatment

and relationship with God,

and the last five commandments

concern our relationship
with others,

like me, Antonio,
Jason, Eric, and Rose.

What do you think, Rose?

(soft dramatic music)

Is $30 million enough
to ghost this joint

and start your own
fashion house?

Yep.
