  Well, well, well, if it ain't my baby brother, Little Joe.
• 0:18
  Haas, if you're looking for revenge, go on back home.
• 0:21
  Why you no good for nothing Vermont?
• 0:25
  You're finally going to get what's coming to you.
• 0:28
  Don't tell me you're still upset that Paul liked me better than
• 0:30
  he did you. What'd you have to go and remind
• 0:33
  me of that for now, You're really going to pay?
• 0:37
  Well, if you wasn't so upset about that, what are you so
• 0:40
  upset over? When we was kids, you broke my
• 0:43
  stick horse. Don't tell me you can't remember
• 0:46
  'cause I know you can. I remember Haas and I done told
• 0:50
  you it was an accident. I said I was sorry.
• 0:52
  That don't matter. You broke it and I ain't forgave
• 0:55
  you for it. You're going to pay.
• 0:57
  All right, suit yourself, but before we go shooting each
• 1:00
  other, at least tell me how you been doing all these years.
• 1:02
  Lousy. I got two boys of my own.
• 1:05
  Shucks, hoss, that's good news. No, it ain't.
• 1:08
  They're constantly fighting each other.
• 1:10
  Well, what about? The older boy thinks I like the
• 1:13
  younger boy better, so he's always beating on him.
• 1:15
  That's the same way you were to me when we were boys.
• 1:18
  Sounds to me like you ain't forgave Pop for playing
• 1:21
  favorites and now you're doing the same thing.
• 1:23
  I ain't never thought about it like that before.
• 1:26
  Now that's what happens when you hold a grudge.
• 1:28
  I read it in the Bible. I bet you're going around
• 1:30
  breaking stuff when you get upset, ain't ya?
• 1:32
  What if I am? What kind of stuff you're
• 1:34
  breaking? The anything I can get my hands
• 1:36
  on when I'm upset. I broke my boot once.
• 1:39
  I broke my gun. I broke my hat once.
• 1:42
  Ah, but that was for fun. I can't help it, Joe.
• 1:45
  It's like something inside just takes over me.
• 1:47
  That's 'cause you think I was mad when I broke your stick
• 1:49
  horse. See how the devil works?
• 1:51
  It's that unforgiveness in your heart, Hoss.
• 1:54
  You got to let it go. I can't you.
• 1:56
  Can it's your choice. No, I can't.
• 2:00
  Let me pray with you. Hoss, no, not till I do what I
• 2:03
  came to do. We're going to settle this like
• 2:06
  real men. Hoss, I don't even have a gun.
• 2:09
  And I don't have a stick horse. Better say your prayers.
• 2:15
  Is this some kind of joke? That's a water gun.
• 2:19
  Yeah, I had you going, didn't I? You ain't mad at me.
• 2:24
  No, I done forgave you a long time ago.
• 2:27
  I learned that we should choose to forgive others because we
• 2:30
  love God and because we want to do things His way.
• 2:33
  Give me that. Gun.
• 2:35
  Cut it out, Joe, you're getting me all the way.
• 2:39
  Forgive one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
• 2:43
  Ephesians 432. Oh, you make me so mad, why
• 3:02
  won't you help me? Only asked her to teach me how
• 3:06
  to tie my shoes so that they don't come undone.
• 3:08
  I said Diane, would you pretty pretty pretty please with sugar
• 3:13
  on top teach me how to tie my shoes.
• 3:16
  Every time I tie them they come undone.
• 3:20
  Do you know what she said? Do you?
• 3:23
  Well, I'll tell you what she said.
• 3:25
  She didn't say anything. That's what she said.
• 3:29
  The next time she wants me to do something for her, she can
• 3:33
  forget it. All right, hold it right there,
• 3:37
  Joni. Who are you?
• 3:39
  The name is Godfrey. I'm an agape cop.
• 3:43
  Agape Cop. Agape is the love of God.
• 3:47
  You are a Christian, aren't you? Yes.
• 3:50
  I'm going to have to give you a ticket for jaywalking.
• 3:54
  A ticket for jaywalking? What does that?
• 3:57
  Mean, as a Christian, you were supposed to walk in love at all
• 4:02
  times. You were saying things in
• 4:04
  violation of God's Word. That's jaywalking.
• 4:09
  Technically, it was Jay talking. Wait, you heard what I said to
• 4:13
  Diane? Technically you thought it out
• 4:16
  loud but God heard it. I, Godfrey the Agape cop was in
• 4:22
  the area so I responded to his call.
• 4:29
  What do I do with this ticket? Godfrey the Agape Cop.
• 4:33
  Read it. Joanie the Love, Jay Walker.
• 4:37
  Ask God to forgive you. Ask Diane to forgive you.
• 4:41
  Then do something nice for Diane Godfrey.
• 4:44
  Why do I have to do something nice for Diane?
• 4:47
  To show where you love her. But Godfrey, I always do nice
• 4:51
  things for her, but she won't do anything nice for me.
• 4:55
  So you're going to be that way about it, huh?
• 4:58
  I call that love tag. Love tag.
• 5:02
  Yeah, Love. Tag, I do something nice for
• 5:05
  you. Tag, you're it now.
• 5:08
  I don't have to do anything nice anymore until you do something
• 5:11
  nice for me. And what's wrong with that?
• 5:15
  I'll tell you what's wrong with that.
• 5:17
  That's not agape love, the love of God.
• 5:20
  That's selfish love. If God loved us like that, he
• 5:25
  would never have sent Jesus. God loves us whether we're nice
• 5:29
  or not. And he wants.
• 5:31
  Us to love other people whether they're nice or not.
• 5:35
  Remember, through salvation we are partakers of God's divine
• 5:39
  nature, and His nature is love. OK, you're right.
• 5:44
  Of course I'm right, I'm an agape cop.
• 5:48
  Try to stay out of trouble. OK, thanks Godfrey.
• 5:52
  God, I'm sorry for acting selfish.
• 5:56
  Help me to love others the way you love them.
• 5:59
  Joni, there you are. I've been looking all over for
• 6:03
  you. I thought you wanted me to teach
• 6:05
  you how to tie your shoes so they don't come undone.
• 6:07
  I did. I mean, I do, but you didn't
• 6:11
  answer me. I'm sorry I had a piece of candy
• 6:14
  stuck in my throat. I couldn't.
• 6:16
  Even breathe. Oh I feel so bad for acting so
• 6:19
  selfish. I didn't even notice you were
• 6:22
  choking. I'm so sorry.
• 6:25
  It's OK, I threw up all over the hallway and it came flying out.
• 6:29
  I feel better now, except that I'm hungry.
• 6:32
  Well then, let's go get something to eat.
• 6:34
  I'll buy your lunch. That's so nice.
• 6:37
  You're so full of the love of God.
• 6:39
  I enjoy being around people like you, Joni.
• 6:42
  You don't think I play love tag? Love tag?
• 6:46
  What's that? It's not important.
• 6:48
  Let's go. All right.
• 7:08
  Coast is clear. Someone's coming.
• 7:14
  Bonehead, bonehead, where you at?
• 7:19
  It's just you, Clem. I'm right here, so just bring
• 7:24
  it. Ring what?
• 7:27
  Don't tell me you forgot. Forgot what?
• 7:32
  And I thought I was the bonehead about our race to see who could
• 7:35
  get rich is the fastest. Yeah, I remember that.
• 7:39
  But you can't get rich in one day.
• 7:42
  I did. Did.
• 7:46
  Someone's coming. Bonehead.
• 7:50
  Get back here. What's the matter with you?
• 7:52
  Ain't nobody here. I'm sorry I just a little edgy I
• 7:56
  guess. What are you edgy about?
• 7:59
  I'm rich now, Clem. I got a lot of money.
• 8:02
  Well, how much money you got? $5000 in cash. $5000 Wow, that's
• 8:08
  a lot of money to get in one day one.
• 8:10
  Day. Well, how'd you get that much
• 8:12
  money? Can you keep a secret?
• 8:16
  Of course I can, bonehead. We're friends, OK?
• 8:26
  On head get back over here and tell me where you got that
• 8:29
  money. That's a matter.
• 8:33
  With you, if I didn't know any better, I think you'd gone and
• 8:36
  done something wrong. You know the Bible says that the
• 8:39
  wicked flee when no one pursues Proverbs 28 one.
• 8:45
  You ain't scared. What for?
• 8:47
  I ain't done nothing wrong. Well, I robbed a bank.
• 8:53
  Bonehead, you robbed a bank to get.
• 8:56
  Rich. Yeah.
• 8:58
  What did you do? I prayed and God blessed me with
• 9:01
  a job. A job.
• 9:04
  Yep, I was in town a while ago when the governor came and asked
• 9:08
  me if I wanted to go to work. For him.
• 9:10
  Seems some bonehead robbed the State Bank and well, he made me
• 9:15
  Marshall get a nice reward for capturing a fellow that stole
• 9:19
  that money. You're the Marshall.
• 9:24
  Yep, and you're under. Arrest.
• 9:32
  Well, Clem, you really got to do.
• 9:34
  This. It's my job, bonehead.
• 9:37
  Besides, what you did was wrong. This is mighty baldy you, Clem.
• 9:41
  Yeah, that's the rest of that burst, bonehead.
• 9:44
  The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are
• 9:47
  as bold as the lion. Proverbs 28 One, I ain't afraid
• 9:51
  to do what's right. Now come on.
• 9:54
  You're going to jail. All right, listen up, kids.
• 10:13
  I'm your football coach. I'm here to teach you how to
• 10:15
  play football. All right, But you're going to
• 10:18
  have to want to learn. If you think, you already know.
• 10:22
  Everything. Why don't you just quit right
• 10:25
  now? But if you'll do what I say, we
• 10:29
  can be a winning team. Coach, I'll do whatever you tell
• 10:33
  me to do. I want to learn.
• 10:34
  I'm hungry for learning how to play.
• 10:38
  Teach us, coach. All right, Dez, you be the
• 10:41
  defense. You're the enemy.
• 10:43
  Your job is to destroy the play. Whatever you do, you don't want
• 10:49
  us to reach our goal, which is a touchdown.
• 10:53
  Seek and destroy. That's my job.
• 10:56
  All right, Ozzy, you're the offense.
• 10:59
  You're the one trying to succeed.
• 11:01
  Never let the enemy stop you. He may knock you down, but he
• 11:05
  can't stop you unless you give up.
• 11:09
  Now, when we're running a play, your job is to stay away from
• 11:12
  the enemy. Get in a position to receive
• 11:15
  from the quarterback. As coach, I'll tell you the path
• 11:19
  to take so that you'll be in the right place to catch the ball
• 11:22
  when the quarterback throws it. Teach me the path, coach, and
• 11:26
  I'll be there. Now this is the ball.
• 11:28
  This is your food. You don't eat unless you have
• 11:32
  this ball. You got to be hungry for the
• 11:36
  ball. I'm hungry for the ball.
• 11:39
  Give me the ball, coach. OK, Dez, go get ready to play
• 11:43
  defense. Ozzy, huddle up.
• 11:46
  All right. Hike the ball on.
• 11:48
  Two run straight for five yards, cut to the right and be ready to
• 11:52
  catch the ball all right. Keep down but one Haku.
• 12:10
  Great job Ozzy. You did what I told you and you
• 12:13
  succeeded. Way to stick with them there
• 12:16
  Dez. You made them work for it.
• 12:18
  Now bring it on in. All right, Tell me what you
• 12:23
  learned. You're kind of like God, and if
• 12:25
  we listen to you and do as you say, we'll succeed.
• 12:28
  That's right, Ozzy, God wants his children to have a strong
• 12:32
  desire to learn. What did you learn, Dez?
• 12:36
  The ball is like the word of God, and that's what we're
• 12:40
  supposed to be hungry for, to learn it.
• 12:42
  And the defense is is kind of like the devil trying to steal
• 12:48
  the word of God away. Yeah.
• 12:50
  And when we have a huddle before each play, that's like when we
• 12:52
  pray and ask you for help and you tell us what to do.
• 12:55
  Or maybe it's when we stop and read our Bible or go to church
• 12:59
  and listen to what the teacher says to us.
• 13:01
  If we'll do what we're told, we'll always be a winner.
• 13:04
  Football's a lot like real life. From now on at school, I'm going
• 13:09
  to be hungry to learn so I can get A's on my report card.
• 13:12
  At home I'm going to be hungry to learn so I can get all my
• 13:16
  chores done quickly. Then I'll have more time to
• 13:18
  practice football. But most importantly, stay
• 13:21
  hungry for the Word of God. It'll keep you safe and give you
• 13:25
  a long, good life. We're hungry.
• 13:28
  All right, practice is over for the day.
• 13:31
  We'll see you tomorrow and bring a friend.
• 13:33
  Dismissed. Well, I can't believe that old
• 13:53
  bank robbing, horse thieving, wagon stealing, bad heart Bubba
• 13:57
  got away. At least we got the money back,
• 14:00
  Marshall. Speaking of which, I'll take
• 14:03
  this stack of money. What are you doing, Festus?
• 14:06
  Well, I'm just taking this here money so that I can take care of
• 14:09
  my family. Marshall here.
• 14:12
  You take some money for your family too.
• 14:15
  I'm not believing what I'm hearing.
• 14:16
  Festus. Why are you taking some of that
• 14:19
  bank money? No.
• 14:20
  One will find out, they'll just think Bad Heart Bubba got away
• 14:24
  with part of it. Here take some.
• 14:27
  That's stealing, Festus. I can't do that.
• 14:30
  It ain't exactly stealing, Marshall.
• 14:33
  The money's done been stolen. We're returning most of it.
• 14:38
  They'll be thanking us for weeks.
• 14:40
  It's stealing, Festus. How can you call yourself a
• 14:44
  deputy of the law and go and do something like this?
• 14:48
  Why? You've been chasing bad heart
• 14:50
  Bubba so long, you're starting to act like him.
• 14:52
  Come on, Marshall, that ain't that big a deal.
• 14:57
  Everybody makes mistakes. I don't call what you're doing a
• 15:01
  mistake. You know good and well that it's
• 15:04
  wrong to steal. Now put the money back in the
• 15:07
  bag. Suit yourself, I'm only trying
• 15:11
  to help. Put it all back in the bag,
• 15:14
  Festus, including what you stuck in your pocket.
• 15:17
  I'm sorry, Marshall. I can't do that.
• 15:21
  I need this money. Just pretend you didn't see a
• 15:24
  thing. If I ever get caught, I'll tell
• 15:26
  him you didn't know a thing. So now you're a liar too?
• 15:30
  Well, you're forgetting one very important thing, Festus.
• 15:33
  And. What's that?
• 15:34
  I'm a Marshall and you already got caught.
• 15:38
  What? Wait, what are you doing putting
• 15:41
  those handcuffs on me, Marshall? Is this some kind of joke?
• 15:45
  It ain't no joke, Festus. You're under arrest.
• 15:49
  What are you? Talking about Marshall, you and
• 15:51
  me are friends. You can't do this to me.
• 15:54
  Believe me, Festus, it hurts me to have to do this, but I can't
• 15:58
  keep company with a deputy that breaks the law.
• 16:02
  You're not giving me any choice but to turn you in.
• 16:05
  What do you mean? I'm not giving you a choice?
• 16:07
  Why would you turn me in, Marshall?
• 16:09
  For one thing, it's going to keep me from getting used to the
• 16:12
  idea of you stealing, so I don't want to start stealing later on
• 16:17
  myself. I've got to keep my eyes and
• 16:19
  ears on godly things and godly heroes like Psalms 1016 says.
• 16:25
  Is that it? Is that all you're concerned
• 16:28
  about? No, I'm also concerned about
• 16:31
  you, Festus. I'm hoping by my turning you in
• 16:34
  and removing myself from your company, you'll straighten up
• 16:38
  and start living by the law. Now let's get a move on Festus.
• 16:42
  Come on, Marshall, let me out of these handcuffs.
• 16:46
  Put the money back in the bag. I can't do that.
• 16:49
  Then keep walking. You're going to jail.
• 16:53
  I could do it if I wasn't handcuffed.
