Y'all better learn them jet packs.
Y'all looking like a
bunch of rank amateurs.
We are amateurs, asshole.
We ain't never done no
damn jet packs before.
Jet packs are for
authentic G.I. Joe bois.
These fucking fairy wings,
they get caught on everything.
I hate this costume. It sucks.
Fairy wings?
Is that what these are?
No, they ain't fairy wings.
They angel wings, dummy.
Well, whoever wings they
are, I'm not doing this shit.
The hell you ain't.
Y'all wearin' them jet packs.
Hang on. Take it off.
Now, where the hell is Eli?
We can't have no birthday
celebration telethon
without Eli around.
Daddy's done checked out these days.
He don't show up for shit no more.
Well, that's disrespect to my sister.
I mean, the only reason
we doing this whole thing
is to honor her.
And Eli can't be bothered?
He's just a little ol' fat
little pig is what he is.
- Dang, Uncle Baby Billy!
- Oh, God! Jeez!
Oh, put some damn drawers on.
No, y'all need to see this.
Behold. Look at this.
That's my privates right there.
- [GROANING]
- God damn it.
This is what a fucking man looks like.
This is how I roll,
balls out and claws out.
You are literally
swinging your dick around.
People in this family need to recognize
which side of the
bread's got butter on it.
- Oh, God dang.
- Oh, God damn it!
Now, I'm the one who
booked all these people
to come and celebrate Aimee-Leigh,
a damn star-studded event.
Now, if Eli is a no-show,
this whole telethon
ain't gonna feel legit.
Now, what you need to
do is to call your daddy
and get his ass to come.
When we call our
daddy, he don't pick up.
Yeah, we ain't talked
to that fool in weeks.
Yeah, we think he's going through, like,
a midlife thing or something.
Midlife?
That motherfucker's older than me.
He ain't halfway through nothing.
- OK.
- Bottom of the ninth, two out.
Midlife.
He wishes he was midlife.

Fuck Eli Gemstone.

Good morning.
I made you some eggs.
Ah, hot damn.
Just thought I'd get you on
your way with some sunny sides.
I think there's a hair
in my eggs, Captain.
I'd like to return these to the kitchen
and get that thick
breakfast sausage instead.
Rise and shine.
[LAUGHTER]
Well, I'm out of shine, I think.
I'm definitely out of rise.
Why you getting all cold fish on me?
You married or something?
Oh, I ain't married.
I just I thought we
should talk about some things.
Uh-oh.
We have fun.
- I like hanging out with you.
- [SIGHS]
I'm just it seems like
you're wanting more,
like spending the night and such.
I just ain't there.
And you figured all this out
right after we finally fucked?
We 69'd for 40 minutes straight.
I had a nice time last night.
I hope you did too.
I'm just not ready to
be serious with anyone.
I'm just trying to have some fun.
If you don't like me, you can just say.
I don't like you.
I'm sorry.

♪
Not exactly the same as
the compound, but it's cozy.
Damn, Daddy, you out here
getting drunk on the sea?
I enjoy a margarita or two.
It's part of the lifestyle out here.
Lifestyle?
Really?
OK, maybe Daddy needs a time-out.
Yeah, and a goddamn men's haircut.
That might be nice.
Ew! Is that a woman's bra?
- Oh!
- That's for tits.
Are you dating?
Is this proof of your sex, Daddy?
It's not what you think it is.
I use it for fishing, for bait.
Oh, thank God.
I was thinking like, oh, maybe Daddy
found some saggy-titted
sea hag to replace Mama.
About to flip my shit over here.
Look, I was fixin' to start crying.
Look at my eyes.
Could you even imagine if
Daddy met someone new?
[LAUGHS] Yucky ducks! Ew.
That'd be the fucking worst. [LAUGHS]
Luckily all of Daddy's loin
desires have disappeared.
Daddy's nuts done dried.
All your dick juices are gone
'cause Mama's got 'em
in a jar up in heaven.
OK.
What can I do for you kids?
Ain't nobody heard whether
you were coming back
for Mama's birthday
celebration telethon.
I was just curious if maybe
your RSVP is floating around
in some bottle out here.
Yeah, well, I'm, uh, not gonna make it.
What?
Why come?
It's for Mama, Daddy.
Yeah, that's your dead
wife, remember, dude?
Of course.
I just I I'm out here
I'm trying to wrestle with things.
I'm trying to figure out what I need.
Look at this motherfucker here.
This dude's down here wasting
away in Margaritaville.
Thinking he's fucking Robinson Crusoe,
like you fucking Tom Hanks
from that one motion picture.
"Philadelphia."
No, not the AIDS
one, the by-hisself one.
No, the, uh
dang, I just had it.
The by-hisself one.
What is the fucking Tom
Hanks-by-hisself one?
- "Cast Away."
- "Cast Away."
Bingo.
That's what you doing, Daddy.
You out here actin' like
you in that goddamn motion picture.
I'm not gonna make the telethon.
I'm sorry.
I just my head's
not in the right place.
All right, well, if you
don't love Mama no more
and you just want to sit out here
and float around smelling like
fish pussy all day, go ahead.
Yeah, boy, smell like minge
for the rest of yo' days.
Minge?
Pussy, Daddy.
Ah, Kelvin, don't you
say that word, please.
We growns, Daddy.
We can say whatever the hell we want to.
We can say "pussy" on a loop
50 times if we do so desire.
And if Daddy ain't gonna
come to Mama's birthday,
he finna get hit with that "pussy" loop.
Yep.
Wait, what are we doing?
Daddy, we're gonna
give you to the count of 3
to tell us you coming back.
Call it off.
I'm not coming.
Then let the "pussies"
begin. [FINGERS SNAP]
- Pussy.
- Pussy, pussy, pussy.
Pussy, pussy, pussy,
pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy.
- [BABBLING]
- Pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy!
ALL: Pussy! Pussy! Pussy!
Pussy! Pussy! Pussy!
Fine, I'm coming!
I'm coming! I'm coming!
- Just stop saying pussy!

"Pussy" loop the loop.
Oh, my God.

Thanks, Tanya.
- I appreciate your guidance.
- Of course.
Whoo, God dang, Beej. [LAUGHS]
Watching you work that
pole's got me slick, boy.
'Bout to start finger
dancin' on my snapdragz.
Talkin' bout clitty cat.
[LAUGHS]
I'll see you next class, BJ.
OK.
Yeah, walk that tight ass away.
Go sit on a hot car hood, you cunt.
Jeez Louise.
Are you OK, Jude?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm just, like, looking
around at all these fit slits
and I'm feeling like, what the fuck?
Why do you need hobbies and shit?
Don't I give you a good life?
Of course you do, Judy.
But a man can have hobbies.
The physical rigor and
slightly taboo nature of pole
has engaged the healthy obsessive in me.
I want to get good at this.
It's all about core body strength,
not peeping tight asses.
Come on. Come on.
So you must be super
stoked you got Daddy
to come back for the telethon.
- Props on that.
- Yeah, thanks, dude.
I was, like, right on the
verge of estranging his flat ass
if he was gonna say no.
I even wrote a "fuck you" note.
Cut out letters from magazines,
smeared some dog shit on it
with a dollar store spatula
just in case he chose not to come.
But now he's back.
And he's here for Mama's memory.
And he's worrying about what matters,
and that's me, Jesse, and Kelvin.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
Livin' loud and proud!
Welcome to Prism, y'all,
where we look at the Bible
In a different light.
- Prism ♪
- [FINGERS SNAP]
Where diversity sparkles ♪
Maybe the Bible of ancient times
doesn't work for us anymore.
As modern young adults,
we see the world different than older,
lamer generations.
We're more open,
understanding, and accepting.
And let's face it,
some of the stuff in the Bible is not.
Let's get rid of that yucky stuff
and focus on the good stuff.
Let's rock the system, y'all.
[IMITATES ELECTRIC GUITAR RIFF]
It's time to do things our way.
Open your Kelvin
Gemstone edition Bibles.
'Cause it's Prism time, y'all.

We are living the dream, Keefe.
Do not wake me up.
For the first time in my life,
I've found my people at Prism.
I'm being myself and
worshipped well for it.
I worship you, brother.
Never did I ever dream
that we would have
all that we have right now.
The acceptance, the success of Prism
I, too, am the happiest
I've ever been right now.
Plus, for once in my
life, I have something
I can throw in Jesse and Judy's faces,
something that's actually making money.
This pink money's bountiful too, boy.
[CHUCKLES] Spends just as good as green.
[LAUGHS] It's our world now, Keefe.
We do what we want.
Yeah. Yeah, we do.
Maybe we could even be a
little more open for everyone.
Set an example for our Prism discipes
by maybe kissing more
in public or, I don't know,
getting married?
Whoa.
Coming in hot today, Keefe.
Don't be crazy, buddy.
Part of the reason
Prism is so profitable
is, me and you keep
it right down the mids.
We're like Siegfried and Roy.
The white tiger men?
Mm-hmm.
That's us.
Their show was always packed.
And sure, yes, everyone
knew, in the privacy
of their animal-print mansion,
they were licking each other's wieners
just like me and you do.
But Roy and Sigs, they
didn't make a thing of it.
Think about it.
If they were to play a quick round
of put in the pipe with each
other in front of the audience
before they made that
tiger jump through the fire,
would the entire audience
stick around for the show?
Would they tell their friends
they gotta go to Vegas,
check out Siegfried and Roy?
The answer is n-no?
There he is.
There's my mans.
Uh-oh. [SMOOCHES]
Look who it is.
Kelvin, I don't have time
for the kissy monster.
- I'm gon' get you.
- Oh, no.
I'm gon' get you!
Oh, no.

Sick of people giving you weird looks

For a small fee, you can

Whoa, Dad, looks like
something from the future.
[LAUGHS]
That's because it is
from the future, son.
Prayer Pods are the future of worship.
A tiny little, eensy,
teensy, weensy bit of Christ

Amen.

[BELL RINGS]
Jesus Christ!
Ugh, God damn it!
It smells like Pontius shit
his damn pants in there.
Fucking farted on your knee, dude.
[COUGHS]
I still haven't seen any
Prayer Pods in the wild yet.
Yeah, they're definitely launching
a little slower than anticipated.
You know, we're just trying
to find the right location
that gets the kind of foot
traffic we're looking for.
Airports are being a little bit weird
because they're owned
federally, apparently.
- [CHUCKLES]
- You know, this kind of thing
just takes a little bit of time.
I am so proud of you.
And I think it's brilliant.
My first church invention.
Why did we have to be in this?
'Cause what else you
got going on, Pontius?
Your dumb ass failed out of the Citadel.
Now you gotta do
whatever your parents want.
To transform into a lame
church dork like Gideon?
- No, thanks.
- Thank you, Pont.
- I appreciate that.
- Getting kicked out of school,
- now, that's what's lame.
- Bingo.
Citadel was stricter on me
because of my family name.
It's the only reason I got expelled.
It wasn't 'cause you
were making viral videos
with your buddies of
sticking firecrackers
up each other's assholes and filming it?
Pontius, baby, I do need you to know
that you can really hurt your privates
doing things like that.
Believe me, everything down
there is working just fine.
Ugh, revolting.
We sent our damn boy to military school
to whip him into shape.
He came back worse,
and now he knows how to kill people.
It is a good skill to
have if you're judicious.
Maybe we could encourage Pontius
to make better decisions going forward
if we were more supportive.
Yeah.
Support me.
I am supporting you, by
letting your ass stay at home.
That's a lot more than
my daddy would do for me.
But Eli did let you move back home
when you got kicked out of school.
Apples and oranges.
Sounds like the exact same thing.
Well, my daddy doesn't support me now,
so, face, shut the fuck up.
What are you talking about, Dad?
Granddad has always
been pretty supportive.
Are you kidding me?
I literally had to go down to Florida
and drag his long-haired ass back here
to come celebrate my mama's birthday.
I think dwelling on Grandma
just makes him sad is all.
Why are you getting his side?
I'm sitting here just trying
to, like, rail on my old man.
And you're sitting here
like, oh, he's sad about this,
he's sad about that.
Be straight with me, Gideon.
Is he your mentor figure?
You can tell me if he is. Just tell me.
Is he your mentor figure or not?
I mean, we talk sometimes.
He gives me advice and stuff.
He calls you?
He doesn't call me.
Well, it goes both ways. I call him too.
You call him?
Call me, bro. I'm here, all right?
- I can mentor figure.
- [SCOFFS]
Denied.
I think Dad's butthurt.
Abraham, no sodomy jokes.
It's honestly just really
normal Granddad stuff.
But if that makes him a mentor
figure, then yeah, I guess.
Knew it.
So funny.
[LAUGHS] You know what?
Go be butt buddies with your granddaddy.
See if I care.
I'll tell you this.
There ain't a damn person in this world
that thinks that Daddy's
cool anymore except for you.
So think about that.
Hey, baby, butt buddies is is sodomy.
I didn't mean it like that, all right?
I'm not trying to say he's trying
to fuck my daddy in the ass.
I just mean that they're,
like, connected together
all the time, and it's annoying.
Come on, Jesse.
Just like your brother
and sister, stabilize!
Shut the fuck up!
What the hell do you
think I'm trying to do?
God damn it.
He wants you to be like us.
Yeah, Jesse, stabilize.
Down there fucking saying shit.
Stabilize, stabilize.
10 years sober for this.
Just focus on your own stabilizations.
As you can see, business as usual.
- You look like an idiot.
- You look like an idiot.
Martin, until today, I never
thought I'd outlive my kids.
[LAUGHS]
[HORN HONKING]
[CHEERING] Yeah!
Hey, hey! Look who I got here!
Whoo!
Look who I got with me right here!
Look at y'all, flying
around like spacemen!
Ahh!
Lori Milsap, we're flying!
Whoo.
Hey, get these things off of us
so we can go do hugs with Mama's bestie.
Come on down. Bring 'em down.
- Hold on.
- Come down.
Let me just get mine figured out.
- Hold on.
- Be careful.
Oh, shit, mine's doing weird stuff.
- Stick the landing.
- Oh, shit!
- Whoa!
- Bup-bup-bup-bup-bup!
Bup-bup-bup-bup-bup!
Oh, God damn it!
- Oh, fuck!
- Is he all right?
- 'Sup?
- Let's get it off him.
- [LAUGHS]
- Whoo!
- Come on, y'all, I need a hug.
- Look at her.
I missed y'all little cocksuckers.
- Miss Lori!
- Miss Lori!
[LAUGHTER] Miss Lori!
Eh?
Is Willie Nelson here?
Who's that long-haired
hippie over there?
- [LAUGHS]
- Oh!
Even Miss Lori's making
fun of Daddy's dumb hair.
Good to see you, Lori.
Are you kidding me? Give me a hug.
- OK.
- Hug her, Eli.
Don't be no android.
Look how awkward Daddy's being, huh?
[LAUGHS] Bashful Daddy.
Look at his cheeks, dude.
See how the pink's coming up in them?
- Yeah, right here.
- Would you stop being weird?
We're just doing teases. Dang.
Glad you made it, Miss Lori.
You think I would miss this?
Come here, Marty.
Aw.
Always a true friend
to Aimee-Leigh, Lori.
I bet you could never dream of
skipping out on this tribute,
unlike old Eli over there.
Miss Lori, we basically
had to drag Daddy's ass
from the floor of the ocean.
Yeah, now he's come back like
a damn domesticated savage,
all confused about how
the modern world works.
I'm here, ain't I?
You damn well better be.
'Cause we pulling out
all the stops, sweetheart.
Y'all keep rehearsing.
I got a "Bible Bonkers"
taping I got to be at.
They can't start the
show without no star, now.
I'm a big-time TV mogul
now, Lori, the biggest.
Don't be jealous, Eli.
Jealous of what?
That I'm Tyler Perry and you ain't.
You're more like Luke Perry: dead.
Hey, I got to go now.
[HORN HONKS]
Hold on.
God damn, y'all.
Move out the way!
It really has been too long, y'all.
I mean, shit, I gotta get
my shit together over here.
Daddy, you can happy cry as well.
Miss Lori's back.
That's what I'm talking about.
- Whoo!
- Yes! Yes! Yes!
- Lori! [CLAPPING]
Yes! Lori's here!
- Yes, yes, yes!
- Yes!
- Miss Lori.
- She's here.
I love you.
Oh, you know, I've just
been kicking around.
JESSE: What the hell do
you think I'm trying to do?
- You know. [CHUCKLES]
- JESSE: Stupid damn jet pack!
Did some dinner theater
up in Pigeon Forge
- and shit like that.
- JESSE: Whoo!
- [LAUGHS]
- Gotta share your gift.
- Well
- Are you happy?
JUDY: Whoo!
- Oh, man, hell no. [LAUGHS]
- KELVIN: Whoo!
- JESSE: Mine's busted.
I mean, it's been a
rough couple of years.
Yeah, the last 1,000
miles or so on my odometer
haven't been particularly
kind to me either.
At least you still got your hair.
[LAUGHING] Yeah. Yeah.
JESSE: I don't want to be by your side.
Trying to do it on my
own. Shut the fuck up.
Hey, why'd your kids
have to beg you to do this?
- JUDY: I'll do it.
- JESSE: Shut up!
I guess a man can't
float in his own boat
in the Florida Keys
using a different name
without being a deadbeat.
JESSE: Damn this thing.
Well, I'm impressed.
- [LAUGHS]
- Shoot.
JESSE: Why is this
moving? Shit. Mine's broken.
I miss her, Eli.
Yeah, we all do.
You know, I do talk to her sometimes.
- Me too.
- Mm. I bet.
[SIGHS] Oh, Aimee-Leigh, you big dummy,
leaving us here.
- I mean
- JESSE: Shut up!
As much as I love her, you gotta admit,
that was just plain rude.
- [CHORTLES]
- [LAUGHS]
- Oh, God. Yeah.
- Whoo!
Well, maybe someday
we'll get to tell her
just how damn rude she was.

Man, I am not great at sermons, huh?
Yeah, you're not.
[CHUCKLES]
My advice to you would be less monotone.
Stop pretending like you're on NPR.
Maybe don't fuck with them PowerPoints
and computer screens quite so much.
Maybe even pop a beta
blocker or something.
Wednesday's sermon
is mostly an older crowd.
You'll figure it out.
Keep it simple.
Yeah.
OK, that's kind of vague, LOL.
[LAUGHS] Thanks for
nothing, Granddad. Am I right?
No, I think it's good.
I appreciate the advice.
