ANNOUNCER: Final score is 21-14.
Jesus.
I think I got my skull crushed.
I think you're right, pimp.
But pops said no more miracles today, so I suggest your ass call 911.
Modern medicine is about as miraculous as your ass is gonna get today.
Thanks for coaching, Jesus.
I didn't know I could do all that.
Me either.
Hey, all you kids got potential.
Pops blessed you all with the spirit to shine.
So shine While we celebrate with this pizza! [LAUGHS.]
Come on, pimps.
Eat up! Eat up! It's plenty.
It's enough for everybody.
What's up, playboys? Come over here and get some of this pizza.
Come break bread with your boy.
Come on.
Get some of this pizza, pimp.
It's gluten-free! Now, remember this moment, kids, because despite the fact that we on different football teams, we all on God's team.
Dig that.
And looking at y'all's faces, I can tell that yours will be the generation that end all this crap between the blacks and whites, the Comptons and the police.
You'll bring it all together like some real players like you know we is.
- Can I get an amen? - ALL: Amen.
Let's eat! [CHUCKLES.]
MS.
TUDI: Oh, yes! Amen! Oh, full of joy! Full of joy! Praise pops.
What's happening, Ms.
Tudi? For the first time, Jesus, your heavenly ass has made me some money! Me, too! - Oh, y'all talking about that bet.
- Mm-hmm.
Ms.
Tudi, you know gambling only leads to pain and hardship.
So, I went by Ms.
Emma's and asked her to give me the money back.
Good, it's my money, anyway.
Hey, nigga! I see you! "Lloydia", my ass! Aah! You old sucker! I'MMA get you! I'MMA get you! You need to give me some of that, Boonie.
All of y'all can chill, 'cause I told you that money won't do nothing, but bring you grief and sorrow.
Them 20 stacks? To quote pops' newest angel, "Mo' money, mo' problems".
What did you do with the $2,050? New uniforms and new coach! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
Thanks, Jesus.
Ain't all this love better than some ill-gotten gains? No! Ill-gotten gains are way better! Right! I agree with Boonie this time! You know what? You lucky! You lucky I ain't got a cross! BLACK JESUS: Hey, Ms.
Tudi.
There's kids out here.
Victory on three! 1, 2, 3! ALL: Victory! - 1, 2, 3! - Victory! [WHISTLE BLOWS.]
