Maybe we can knock out two birds with one stone.
How about I let you take me out Sunday morning
to church?
Hell no!
I mean, excuse me, but that ain't what I had in mind.
Are you a vampire or something?
Why are you so scared of church, Stefan?
I ain't scared of church.
Just that every time I go to church, the
preacher be making me feel bad.
Like how?
You know, it comes a time in all of our lives
that we have problems.
And I remember one time I was having problems
with the woman that I love, and I called on
the phone and I just couldn't get an answer.
And then I went to her house and I saw her car
parked on the driveway.
I knocked on the door, but still my knocks got,
went unanswered.
And then I went home and I played my records
until I just didn't want to hear them anymore.
And then I watched television until television
went off.
And finally I went to bed, but I found myself
waking up a few hours later, and the tears
were just running down my face.
And I know all of y'all done heard that it's a
sign of weakness for a man to cry, but I
don't believe it for one second.
Because every time I read the newspaper, it
tell me that women live longer.
I think that's cause women let it out and men
try to hold it in.
I want to tell you brothers in Dallas tonight,
you feel like crying and you don't want nobody
to see you cry.
Go outside and cry if you got to.
Make you live a little bit longer.
And you know sometimes you can go to your
friends and seek advice and your friends can
give you the wrong advice, and my friend told
me, he said, if I were you, I would just forget
about it.
But you know, I told my friend, I said, maybe
you've never been in love like I've been in love.
And maybe you've never felt the thing that I
felt, and my friend said, I know you got
some money in the bank.
He said, if I were you, I'd go get some of that
money and take myself a vacation and
get my head together.
But you know, I told my friend, I said, you
know, money's not everything.
You know, sometimes you get lonely.
And listen to y'all, I cry.
And the tears would fill up in the wells of my
eyes, oh baby
And then it got so bad
To one time I thought I'd roll myself up in a
big ol' ball and die
And then I met you Darlin', you smiled at me
Oh, with such a pretty smile, yes it was
And you reached out your hand, you helped me
You helped me, yeah, baby
I'm glad, baby
Oh, baby
Yeah, baby, yeah, baby
Oh, baby
Oh, in the midnight hour, yeah
Give it up for Raydale Davis!
And now, for the man you've all been waiting
for, introducing, triple platinum
recording artist, Grammy Award winner, ladies,
we know and love him, Monticello Dollar!
Wait a minute, who started my intro? Who
started my intro? Start my intro again.
Wait a minute, this is the Monticello Show.
Somebody getting fired tonight.
I don't know what this is. Start my intro!
For you, I'd give a lifetime of stability
Anything you want of me
Nothing is impossible for you
There are no words or ways to show my love
Or all the thoughts I'm thinking of
Cause this life is no good alone
Since we've become one, I made a change
Everything I do now makes sense
All roads end, and all I do is for you
I wish I could sing this to somebody. Do you
know Spanish?
For you, I'd cross a river of passion, singing
this song
I assure you, there will be no pain for you
There is no low or high or in between of my
heart that you haven't seen
Cause I share all I have and am
Nothing I've said's hard to understand
All I feel, I feel deeper still
And I always will see all this love is for you
Every note that I sing, every word I might say
Every melody I feel is only for you and your appeal
Every page that I write, every day of my life
Would not be filled with all the things that my
love for you now brings
For you, I'd make a promise of fidelity, now
and for eternity
And see no one, no one could replace this vow
for you
I'd take your hand and heart and everything
And add to them a wedding ring
Cause this life is no good alone
Since we've become one, you're all I know
If this feeling should leave, oh I'd die
And here's why, see all I have is for you
Everything I do now, it makes sense, oh Rose,
then all I do
Is for you
For you
Thank you for coming to the Monticello Show,
God bless y'all, goodnight.
And love again.
Help me Holy Spirit, your first introduction to
a woman was your mama and she messed up your
perception of women for the remainder of your
life. She may have verbally abused you or was
physically abusive, maybe she offered you
condemnation instead of edification, maybe
she always verbalized your failure and never
gave you praise for your accomplishments or
maybe it
was the way she treated your father, belittled
him, always made him feel like a child, persuaded
you to never be like your father, but you never
saw anything wrong with daddy, you respected him
and he sincerely loved you, now you're married
and you allow the haunting voice of your mama to
destroy your marriage, you hear her voice when
your wife speaks, it's time for you to bury the
broken boy in you and allow God to heal your
heart because he loves you with heads bowed and eyes
closed. Brother, if you are ready to make a
change and become the man God desires you to
be, take a
step of faith and walk down this aisle into the
loving arms of Jesus Christ. Oh man, that was deep
man, I mean after all these years of being in
this relationship I have never seen it that way,
I mean all these years of not trusting my wife
with my feelings and my past. Now it's time for
you to just tell your wife why you struggle
with the obsession of power, look you told me a long
time ago, now it's just time for you to trust
your wife. It's time for me to go handle a little
something myself, I need to practice what I
preach. Oh hold on man, we still got one more videotape
to watch. Now look I supported you on the first
round, it's time for you to ask God to support
you on the second one. I need to go meet with
Simone. Oh Stefan, thanks man, thanks. I love you
man. I love you too bro. Oh and remember, God.
God, do you want to watch a videotape?
come on in. Hey you, so what's up? How do you
feel about me? I think you're a nice guy. No,
no, no.
How do you really feel about me? Oh I care
about you a lot. I see you evolving into this awesome
man of God and I enjoy every minute we spend
together but I can't quite pinpoint how you
feel about me and I guess that's what scares me.
Well let me tell you what scares me. What
scares me
is that I see this beautiful woman who has
existed in my life over a month now and I began
to muster
strong feelings for her. I'm just afraid she's
too good to be true and if she is true well
then she's
too good to be mine. I will not allow myself to
be hurt again. What do you mean what do you mean
what do you mean hurt again? I swear if I tell
you this you better not tell anyone else
because my homeboys don't even know this. Okay
I promise. What is it? I was in love my senior year
in high school. Samantha Washington. We dated
my whole senior year. We ate lunch together,
took pictures, the whole nine yards. I was in
love and would do anything for Sam.
Prom night came around and everything was fine
up until the time she said she was sick and needed
to go home so I spent the last hour taking her
home because see I was a virgin back then and
I didn't go to hotels and motels like everyone
else did on Prom night so I decided to stay with
her pamper her but she just rushed me off. She
must have thought that Damien was a doctor or
something because she called him, started
running back school pimp and went to the hotel
with him
for some sexual healing and then she called me
the next day and broke it off with me and used the
excuse well you were just too boring. Hell if
I'd have known all she wanted was sex I could have
kept my damn corsage. Oh excuse my language I'm
still trying to get delivered from a few things.
I understand trust me but I decided to never
give my heart to another woman and just give
them sex and only sex because that's all they
really want anyway. But that's not true. Maybe
not but it became true to me. Well were you a
Christian back then? I mean yeah I was a Christian
I mean I wasn't a virgin due to tribal beliefs.
I even wrote songs for the youth choir yeah but
soon after that I began backsliding from God.
Stefan can you love again? If you promise not
to dog me out or take my secrets and use them against
me. I promise not to be careless with your
heart. Stefan people will overcome by the word
of your
testimony. Come here.
What's wrong?
Simone I have something to tell you. What is it?
I think I've fallen in love with you.
Since we've been seeing each other I started
playing guitar again and
writing songs. Really?
I'm a little nervous. Take your time.
I can't tell you why I love you so. I can't
tell you why the world's so cold.
I can't tell you why there's joy than pain or
why some do things for only their personal gain
or why the sun sometimes shines while it rains.
But I know that love will be all that matters
with you and me and I know the trees will always
grow leaves in the spring. Oh I know one plus
one will always add up to be to you. I know one more
now one more thing and that's I will always be
in love with you my beautiful Simone.
I'm the man.
Oh I don't know how long I can practice the
celibacy thing. For this is the will of God your
sanctification that you should abstain from
sexual immorality that each of you should know
how to
possess his own vessel in sanctification and
honor not in passion of lust like the Gentiles
who do
not know God. Oh Jesus keeping it across. 1
Thessalonians 4:3-5. What time is it?
10:45. Let's catch a late dollar movie. Good
good good. What you want to see?
Oh come in baby. You're at the right house.
I missed you so much and I am so sorry for the
way I acted.
You sounded so strange on the phone. Tell me
what's going on.
Okay listen baby those tapes that you left says
something so true.
God evangelist Whitfield said that a man will
treat his woman the way he treats his mama
and if a guy has resentment towards his mama
even though he never told her he will subconsciously
acted out on his wife. Let me finish. I'm sorry
may I please continue. Okay see he also said
that what men don't tell is that a man will
give his body to anyone but he's very
particular about
who he gives his heart to. You see a man will
only give his heart to someone he trusts and
he'll only
tell his secrets to someone he trusts. Baby I
treated you wrong because of the way I felt about
my mama and I didn't trust you enough to tell
you what went on with my family. Do you trust
me now?
Every wall is coming down during this conversation.
I was about eight years old when my dad got
laid off from the steel company. See he had
been doing
that for years so he didn't have any training
in anything else so after that he decided to
follow his passion. A guitarist in a jazz band.
But my mom thought that was the stupidest thing
he could do. I mean he wasn't making much money
at it but he loved doing it and consequently she
had to stop being a housewife and become a
working woman. She hated it. She used to dog my
daddy out.
Man don't work don't eat. I mean she'd use
she'd use Bible scriptures to do it. She'd say Proverbs
10 4 says lazy men are soon poor while a hard
worker gets rich. Proverbs 13:4 says lazy people
want much but get little while the diligent are
prospering because she had a gang of them.
So that's why you hate the Bible. I never saw
the Bible used for anything good but it's referred
to as the good book. So after my mom had about
all that she could take she took the three of
us and
split. And then one night my mama sitting on
the edge of the bed says to me Patrick when you get
older make sure that you own your own company
so you never have to worry about being laid off
because a woman wants to stay at home and not
have to worry about the bills being paid.
That explains a lot honey. Yeah but I hated my
mama. I hated her for the way that she treated my
father and I grew up believing that I had to
always have the power.
I am so sorry for being on a power trip. I
resented you because I saw my mama in you every
time you spoke about God. I want our marriage
to be a partnership just like you said. Melody you
are my music and we have to be playing the same
song in order to be in harmony with each other.
That sounds beautiful but are we gonna spend
more time together? I need to know
I mean more to you than your company. Of course
I know of course we are baby. As a matter of fact
the day that you left the surprise that I had
was that trip to the Bahamas. I bought two tickets
for us. I wish I would have known. Oh no no
baby your leaving was needed in order for me to see
clearly. So can we still go on a cruise to the
Bahamas? Nope. No I'm taking you to Hawaii instead
and and we will be going to church together
this Sunday.
Together. I've accepted Jesus as my personal
Lord and Savior. All right you okay?
All right you okay baby? I prayed for you so
long. All right baby your prayers worked okay they
worked. Now that now that I'm saved I'm not
gonna do stuff like that am I?
It could happen if you just.
Congratulations honey let's celebrate. One
bottle of gin coming right up.
Oh don't quench your spirit like that. No I'm
just playing. I'm just playing baby. I love you
so much.
I've got a surprise for you.
I found in you what I've been searching for and
maybe even more.
That's what I found in you. A place where I can
go where no one else will know.
Nobody but you but you. Whenever I need someone
to talk to you were always there
and you always seem to care. That's how I knew
I found a friend in you.
Don't you ever ever ever ever never never do
that again.
But when can we go to Hawaii? Can we leave next
week? Oh of course we can and you know what?
We are going to make love like we never have before.
Now remember what goes on on the island stays
on the island not if I want to bring it back
to the house. So glad I found you found you
found a friend in you.
You found me a friend in Jesus found a friend
in the Lord.
Found me a friend in Jesus found a friend in
the Lord.
I found a friend in you Jesus I found a friend
in you Lord.
Oh man I can't believe this.
Whoa man I just got back from Hawaii and it was
tight brother. Oh and I got you some
souvenirs. I got you some seashells and a
keychain. Aloha. Thanks a lot man.
What's the matter man you don't like the gifts?
It's not the gifts man.
Have you read the National Inquisitor lately?
Oh man stuff ain't real. Why? Well read this.
Look at the front page. Caught white-handed
Monticello R&B singer caught snorting cocaine
in the restroom? Oh come on man you don't
actually believe this do you? Read on.
Solo hit singer Monticello was caught in a
Weissenheimer hotel lobby bathroom using narcotics.
The alleged witness says when I asked him what
he was doing he violently told me to mind my damn
business. Then I asked if it was all right to
get an autograph and he threw my pen and paper
in the
trash and told me to get the hell on. The
rising star will soon be falling quickly due to his
violent temper and stubbornness. Monticello's
business manager Diane Smith says Monticello
has become a victim of the pain fame can cause
and the wounds the media leaves. Fans are upset
with the young star because he keeps pulling no
shows at his concerts. It goes on to say more.
I called his manager left a message for him.
Man they haven't seen him in two days.
Oh now that's probably Simone. She'll just drop
by anytime now without even calling.
Come on in baby.
The triple play smooth. I just had a break from
tour. I wanted to come out and see what y'all
was up to. Y'all all right? Have a seat man.
Let me get you something to drink. How about
some Kool-Aid or some coke? Actually no no
actually I'm cool. I'm cool. So how's Anderson
marketing doing? Oh man business is great but
you know you always have your uppers and downs in
business. I mean your ups ups and downs. Ups
and downs. All right come on y'all let's play catch
up. It's been a minute. Oh so how y'all feel
about the Super Bowl man? Man don't the Eagles
deserve to be there man? I told this brother
right here. You ought to be feeling about a
$1,000 poor because we had a bet going on that
remember? Man I can't even think back
that far. You know what the other day I
accidentally bumped my head and got amnesia.
Oh I can refresh that bump for you if you need
me to.
Calm down man. I was just playing. I'll go to
the car get my check book
in a little bit. Check? I don't want no check.
I want cash. Now you know ain't no banks open this
time of night and I can only get $400 at a time.
What do you mean if you don't give me my damn
money? What's wrong with you? Oh now he want to
curse and holler and scream at me brother. Why
I gotta be all that man?
What is this? Everybody want to mess with me
today? Is that it? I'll play with my money?
Oh okay I'll get you folks. I'll go in the
morning and get you the rest of it. Just please
don't shoot me.
No no no hold on hold on Stefan. Look man you
were right about what you said to Monticello
the night before he left. Monty you love money
entirely too much. I mean you're about to kill
Stefan for $1,000. Go ahead shoot him. Pull the
trigger. But then again how are you
gonna get paid from a dead man? See see that's
how stupid it is man. Oh excuse me Lord for
saying this
but money ain't a damn thing Monty. You can
lose it as fast as you make it man.
What you talking about? Without money man
there's no value. Success is measured by the
digits in your bank account.
No no no look success is measured by how
successful you are at dealing with success.
Look man what you live by is what you die by.
Keep that in mind.
Man you right. You right Pat. What you live by
is what you should die by. I shouldn't kill Stefan.
Thank you Jesus. I should kill myself. Whoa
whoa whoa now you really should Monty stop man.
Read about it everybody else knows what's going
on in my life. I don't feel like talking though.
It's not that simple this time man. I literally
snorted my whole life up my nose everything I
work for is gone. Man it's not that serious.
What not that serious? My career's about to be
over not that serious?
Man I tried to give it up I did. Now look at me.
Look at me.
Rising stars soon be falling quickly. Man when
I walk down the street people are whispering
things about me.
Monty people will talk about you when you're up
and when you're down man. Now come on hand me
the gun.
Well I mean I ain't giving you a damn thing
y'all don't know what the hell I've been through.
Shut up and let me finish. I never wanted to
tell y'all this but uh before I moved into
those projects we grew up in I used to live on
the street. Yeah that's that's right me and my
mama we
we lived with relatives for a while till they
got tired of us reloading off of them they
kicked us out.
Man we went from shelter to shelter till we
ended up right back on the streets.
It's stingy as I am about money why do y'all
think I give money to families on the street
corner anyway?
Because it used to be me. Monty man we didn't
know. Yeah we didn't know about that man.
Oh it's too embarrassed to tell y'all that. Hey
my mama finally got a job good enough to get us a
place to live and man the projects was paradise
to me. Just me and my mama.
I was 19 I just finished my gig at the club
that's what they offered me the record deal you
know I just wanted to run home and tell her the
good news so I ran home and I burst through the
door you know and I found her. I found her
lying there encircled in a pool of blood man.
Her abusive
boyfriend he beat her into a coma then the
maniac tried to carve her heart out with a
Swiss army
knife all because she was trying to leave him
that evening. Then that bastard goes to trial
and he
tells the jury he wanted her heart because he
didn't want to love anybody else.
Then he gets off. He gets off claiming
temporary insanity for a crime of passion.
Justice served as I said justice. So all that
was left was me and my voice and the promise
I made to my mom I was going to use my
God-given gifts right to make money. Here I am
what what
do I have to live for now? My whole life's
messed up. People will overcome by the words of your
testimony. We got to tell everyone. What the
hell are y'all talking about? He's right look
man a lot has
changed since you've been away. God can truly
fix your life. Oh yeah right and my career my money.
Just listen to me man Melody left me about a
month and a half ago because of my stupidity.
Man my whole marriage fell to pieces until God
stepped in and super glued it back together.
There was no way I could have done it. I was
the one that messed it up. It took someone more
powerful than me to fix it. I had to let go of
the resentment I was holding on to for my mom
and allow the power of God to set me free. He's
right you know y'all didn't know this but I was
deeply in love before. Y'all remember in high
school Samantha Washington? Man I didn't break up
with her. She broke up with me after she
cheated on me with Damien. Damien the football player?
You know Damien? He took my girl in Elementary.
I'm serious man I came out of recess man he was
pushing on me. Back to me the man with the gun?
Okay Monty okay yeah okay that's why I started
dogging women out man. Man she broke up with me
because I wouldn't have sex with her.
Why not you had sex with everybody else? Well
not exactly.
Okay I lied. I was still a virgin my senior
year. Well hold on man you were the last virgin
out of
all of us. Man you told us you lost your
virginity at 10. No I said I was lost in
Virginia at 10.
No you did man no I know what you said. I was
my team I was two years old. That's not the point.
Monty I started hurting myself and others
because someone hurt me
but that's not right but then God allowed me to
meet this beautiful Christian woman named Simone
who is now my girlfriend. Man look at me I can
love again. Trust me Monty God can put your life
back together. Yeah he's right. Y'all up here
talking like y'all some Christians or something.
So y'all are Christians now? Yes we are. How
can I fix my life? Well you can start by
handing me the
gun. Monty man don't you ever scare us like
that again dawg. I'm sorry y'all are like
brothers to
me. I promise man everything is gonna be all
right dawg okay. For real. Why don't you sing
that song your mama used to sing. I'm not
singing no song. You know I will. Come on man
I'm gonna
make you feel better man come on. I've had some
good days. Here's to crying. I've had some weary
days and some sleepless nights but I look
around and think things over. Come on up now
come on up.
All of my good days outweigh my bad days. Mama
I won't complain sometimes the clouds hang low.
I can hardly see the road. I ask the question
Lord why so much so much pain
when he he knows what's best for me even when
my weary weary eyes just can't see.
Now I can say thank you Lord. I won't complain.
The Lord oh Lord you've been so so good to me.
Jesus you've really really been so so good to me.
Better than this old two-faced world could ever
ever be. Lord you've been God you've been so
good to me.
And you you dried all my my my my tears away.
You turned all my midnights into day.
Now I can say Lord thank you Lord.
Now I can say thank you Lord. People lied on me
and they talked about me but when I think
of all your goodness Jesus and everything
you've done Lord I'll say thank you Lord. I won't
I won't complain.
I guess Mama was right. God is a source of man
obtaining true value yeah.
Okay so how can I be down? Down with what man?
With the new person y'all brought up
in the clique man Jesus Christ. Man I thought
you would never ask.
Come on dear Lord. Dear Lord come into my life
God and save me.
