[R Kelly:]
Rufus begins to pray
[Rufus:]
God, if you can hear me now. Please change impossible to somehow
[Dr. William T. Perry:]
Mrs. Longs, wait!
[Cathy:]
How wait is long enough?
[Perry:]
But, your husband’s in there in peace
[Cathy:]
Yeah, well I’m tired of picking him up
[Perry:]
Oh, you don’t wanna be like that
[Cathy:]
…This damn elevator
[Perry:]
In fact, I don’t think you really mean that
[Cathy:]
Yeah, don’t. And what do you know?
[Perry:]
I know you’re pressing that elevator
[Cathy:]
Yeah, and?
[Perry:]
And, we on the first floor
[Cathy:]
…Well, I’ll just take the stairs
[Perry:]
That’ll be the basement. Cathy, wait
Now, sometimes, we all make mistakes. But, that doesn’t mean you can’t better. No, don’t run away
Now you got a man in there, fight for y’all marriage, on his knees
[Cathy:]
Yeah, and what I’m I supposed to do about it when that man hurt me so deep
[Perry:]
Yeah, but that’s why you both are here, to work it out
[Cathy:]
Yeah, but what is that a work-out when he said…
[Perry:]
Shh shh shh…
[Cathy:]
…When he said that he was still in love with that man? Whoa, whoa
[Perry:]
I know. Now listen to me. See once upon a time, I had this couple, and they both were paralyzed by their struggle
And I just couldn’t get them to understand, the purpose for a woman and man, side to side, better or for worse, a marriage
[Cathy:]
Yeah, but what’s that got to do with me and…
[Perry:]
You and Rufus. Everything, Cathy. Because that same couple broke up fifteen years ago until this day, they still not happy
Pointed by their past, and what if? And I just think you guys got a real chance here
[R. Kelly:]
Now, meanwhile, Rufus is praying real hard going in, on them knees in the doctor’s office asking God to forgive him for his sins
[Rufus:]
God, help me I’m so confused, and I just don’t know what to do!
And you know that I love my wife, but Chuck is so hard to lose! Help!
[Cathy:]
I really, really want to forgive him, but it’s the hardest
[Perry:]
I know
[Rufus:]
Help!
[Perry:]
But in all affair, Ms. Cathy, you did have a man in your closet
[Rufus:]
Help!
[Perry:]
Look, you can do this
[Rufus:]
You said if I call on you, you would be there. Now, what are you gonna do?
[Cathy:]
Rufus, I… Baby, I forgive you. We’ll work it out
[Rufus:]
Yes
[Cathy:]
We’ll work it out
[Rufus:]
Oh
[Cathy:]
We’ll work it out
[Rufus:]
I love you
[Cathy:]
I love you, too
[Rufus:]
I, uh… I mean, I really don’t know what to say here
[Off-Screen Director:]
Talk about your life
[Rufus:]
Huh?
[Off-Screen Director:]
Chuck. You wife, Cathy
[Rufus:]
What?
[Off-Screen Director:]
You know, talk all about you having an affair
[Rufus:]
Wha…
[Off-Screen Director:]
With another man
[Rufus:]
Wait a minute, that wasn’t the plan
[Off-Screen Director:]
Did you sleep with Chuck?
[Rufus:]
Sir, if you want to talk about the church and what it’s doing for the community, you talk to me
[Off-Screen Director:]
But, the paper said…
[Rufus:]
Well, I’m a pastor, and I’m here to put my family’s business out on the streets
[Off-Screen Director:]
Yeah, that’s right you’re a pastor. So, why this confession so hard?
[Rufus:]
It’s not, it’s just that the only one I need to be confessing to, is God
[Off-Screen Director:]
Sir, will you…
[Rufus:]
This is over
[Off-Screen Director:]
Will you be appearing on the show to…
[Rufus:]
God bless you, and thank you
[Off-Screen Director:]
You can’t do this! Does Chuck have AIDS? Is that what the package is?!
Sir? Sir, are you gonna answer the question?
