Rosieâs in her den, sittinâ in her rocking chair
Reading the Bible, and itâs so peaceful, until...
[Randolph:] âHe got the package, Rosie! He got the package!â
âSecret sweet bridges, he done got the package!â
[Rosie:] âLord have mercy, Randolph, whatâs done got into you?â
âAnd who got the package and what is the package?â
âThe package, Rosie! The big packageâ
âAw hell, I ainât got time to be playinâ with youâ
(âWhaddya mean?â)
âThese games and carryinâ onâ
âIf I wanted to play some games Iâd go ahead and turn on the TV and watch me some Wheel of Fortuneâ
(âI wanna talk to ya, lemme tell ya!â)
âHow the hell Iâma tell ya if youâre walkinâ away from me?â
âHm? Hm? Hmâ
âWell hell with it then, I ainât gonâ tell ya nothinââ
âYou must not wanna knowâ
âAbout the pastorâ
âWhat about the pastor?â
âWhat? Wha-wha-wha-wha-wha-wha-what?â
âDid you hear that?â
âDid somebody round here say somethinâ?â
âI thought I heard-â
âNow just quit playinâ and tell me whatâs goinâ onâ
âWith the pastorâ
âWell, now you wanna knowâ
âI tell ya this way better than peekinâ out them damn windows you be peekinâ out ofâ
âAinât no pigeon gonâ shit on you, you listeninâ to me?â
âRandolph!â

âOoh, saa-â
âIâma slap you with this hot water bag if you donât start talkinâ to meâ
âAlright, alright, alrightâ
âIâma talk to yaâ
âAnd Iâma tell it allâ
âI was at church in the pastorâs office, cleaninâ up, and next thing you knowâŠâ [Flashes back to Rufus' office]
âMm, yes Lordâ
âYes Lordâ
âYe-â [Drinks his gin]
âOoh! Yes Lord!â
âWha-?â
[Rufus:] âI canât talk to you about that right now, Sister Marie, I got a phone callâ
âShit, think, shit, think, shit, shit think Randolphâ
âMmâ
âAnd thatâs when I got my old ass in that closetâ
âNow quit cussinââ
âNow just shut ya ass up and listen, Rosieâ
âYou say you wanna knowâ
âThen I got in that closet and it all started to happenâ
âThe pastor came inâ
âHe was on the phone talkinâ to a manâ
âNow whatâs wrong with beinâ on the phone talkinâ to a man?â
âWell it all depends on what you sayinâ to that manâ
âNow to make a long story short, he saidâ
[Chuck:] âRufus, I miss youâ
âAnd I couldnât believe my ears when he saidâ
[Rufus:] âChuck, I miss you tooâ
âAnd then his wife comes in, starts pinchinâ the bitchâ
âI normally donât like beinâ in folkâ business, but Randolph this is some juicy shitâ
âWhat else?â
âAnyway they arguinâ back and forthâ
âPastor Rufus start tryna convince this man to let him come see himâ
âBut obviously he said noâ
âWhat else?
âNow calm down, damn it, wait a minute, let me thinkâ
âOh! Oh! He asked the pastor to stay in his life, but then the pastor said noâ
âGod must be workinâ on âem! Then what?â
âPastor say âChuck letâs meet at our spot, the Holiday Innââ
âAnd then, thatâs whenâ
âWhen what?â
âA-a-a-ah!â
âTook another shot of that gin!â
âOoh, Randolph, this is gettinâ goodâ
âBut what make you say âgot the packageâ though?â
âWhen Chuck let him knowâ
âKnow what?â
âThat heâs in the hospital!â
âHe got the packageâ
âDidnât I tell ya?â
âHe got the package, Randolph, you was right!â
âNext time you listen to me when Iâm tryna tell ya ass somethinâââ
âOh my god, whereâs my phone book?â
âWh-what do you need a phone book before?â (âLord have mercyâ)
âNow donât go tellinâ everyone around town, Rosie!â (âHey, he got the packageâ)
âWith you big mouth ass!â
