listen, i just want you to know that should you need me for anything, anything at all, i'm available. okay, well i'm sorry, sister peaches, i apologize if i led you on in anyway, but if you look over your right shoulder, look right over there. that's the first lady of the church. she supplies all my earthly needs
and god supplies all my spiritual needs. are we clear? pastor, i just thought that-- no no, but you thoughtwrong, sister, are we clear? yeah, we're clear. look, it's good to see you again. i'll see you next sunday, okay? absolutely. all right, good.
okay. all right. (laughs) you poor baby. you cannot get away from those hot in the pants heathens can you? no i cannot. well perhaps when you're old and gray they'll give you some rest. you think so?
no. (laughter) excuse me, paul? yes. hi. i'm from leonard record. you might remember myfather, tally dawson senior. ah, i was wondering who that distinguished looking gentleman wassitting in my pews, i thought
you looked familiar,how's your father doing? he's doing great. he's retired now. i took over the business. everything's going wonderful. congratulations. well thank you. did you meet my wife, doctor lolla dimwa? no, it's a pleasure, doctor.
nice to meet you too. now is that md or phd? i'm a psychologist with thelocal practice here in town. oh, excellent. she treats all the town craziesand the mentally retarded. sweetheart, that is not funny, don't talk like that about my patients. i'm sorry, i'm trying to recruit, trying to get some more parishioners.
hey listen, i'm gonna drop my wife off, then i'm headed over to my parents to have dinner, would you like to join me? i'm gonna have to pass, thanks though. i desperately need to speak to you though, perhaps we can meet over at jose's in let's say about two hours? okay, is everything all right? everything's great, great news.

♫ a little of this ♫ a little of that ♫ lord jesus, he's all that ♫ my jesus ♫ is coming back is that the tally dawson? the one whose dad you used to call the career maker or breaker? that's his son.
after all these years. wow. aren't you curious as towhat he wants to discuss? i'm interested, but notparticularly curious. maybe he just wants to catchme up on the music scene. why are you asking? another one of your bad feelings? not really a bad feeling about him. i just wonder why an old figure from the
past would suddenly justshow up at the church. i don't know, maybe he wants to get baptized or he wants to join the church. then maybe he should've come down to the altar with the rest of the members seeking spiritual guidance. it's probably nothing, but whatever it is, i promise you will be the first to know. okay?
fine. (spanish guitar music) lovely service. (chuckling) that pastor dimwa can preach. oh yes he can. but i do sometimes wonder what it would be like to just kiss those lips. luscious.
(giggling) oh my goodness, you are bad. i'm sure our pastor isprobably a man amongst men. i can't wait to get out of seminary. when i become a pastor,then all of you good sisters can hit on me likeyou do to pastor paul. now deacon, you can buy a new robe and get a degree, but you still can't get a single woman out here.
you see, nowadays it takes a little more than sex appeal and goodlooks to get a woman. women need a little moneyto get with the honey. (chuckles) now i just can't figure out why pastor paul married sister lolla. i just can't figure out why my beautiful peaches is still single. what are you trying to say, corine?
excuse me, ladies. i have an appointment to keep. thanks for the invitation. ♫ ooooh wanna try it? yeah. two, three. ♫ oooooooh again.
right? y'all like that? hi baby, can i get you something? no, thank you, baby. loretta, remi, you guys want anything? no, we good. thank you. do we still have it or what? i mean we got the sound.
but what we don't have isa contract and some loot. well that's what happens whenyour lead singer gets saved. you know what, we were one of the most popular groups in the country. we had a name, i meanwhat a group we were. and now look at us, we'renot the teardrops anymore. listening to you, i call us the crybabies. (laughs) girl, stop all that whining.
the teardrops are still one of the most loved groups in the world. hey you two, come on, let's do the song one more time, and then who knows, with a little help from the man above, i may have a little surprise for us later on today. surprise? a little surprise, let'spractice, practice.
all right, come on, ready? catch it. oh you see that catch? you can't top that. see that catch? can't top that. oh! peter and james jr, come inside now. it's time to eat dinner.
come on. man, we're not even hungry. yeah, we ate at church aunty, can we stay out here and play some more? please mama, pretty please? please. all right, all right, i guess, i guess. you know, you two remindme of your fathers. i guess your uncle paulwill never have children.
uncle paul's a celebrity. celebrities don't have children. man, that's not true, celebrities are just like everybody else, at least that's what my daddy says. (chuckles) and your daddy would be right. we are all equal in the eyes of god. now i'm gonna make a little plate, two little plates for my two
little men, so go ahead and play. yes!thank you. now go on before i change my mind. i'm not here to criticize your behavior. i want to help you find some answers so that your symptoms can be reduced. i think it would be a good idea if everybody could open up just a little bit more to accelerate the process.
maybe find a breakthrough? tim, why don't you go first. i know you just referredto me in there somewhere. just not exactly sure where. well tim, what is preventing you from achieving freedomover your addiction? i don't know doc, imean i just can't stop. i mean lord knows i tried. so you tried and didn't achieveyour personal objective.
yeah, something like that. i guess. you guess. okay tim, the first stepis to remove all doubt. stop questioning your inner self. you should be certain of everything that you feel so that you can be comfortable with everything that you say-- okay, okay, okay, i'm just, i don't
know all them fancy word you just said. she means you don't try hard enough. you act like every time you do something wrong, doctor dimwa gonna fix it or say the right words to make it all better. if you tried, you could do it. that's an interesting observation julie, but why did you attack him that way? i didn't see it as attacking.
i was trying to help him understand you. (sobs) i didn't mean anything by it. it's okay, it's okay, you made a statement that might help tim to find some positiveoutcome to his problems. but we all have to learn to address each other on a social level. in your face, man! in my face?
you're (mumbles). this is in your face. no, 'cause it's not true. james, remember when paul went on the road and he told me if i wanted to travel with him that i had to wear a suit and a tie. you remember that? what's wrong with that? you just dressing right,what's wrong with that?
and then he told me if you gonna come to my house and yougonna drive your vw bug, you gotta park it twoblocks away from my house. i don't remember saying that, come on now. paul, i know you didn't do that. look, i love my brother, but i don't love my brother enoughto be embarrassed by him. i would have loved to haveknown you as children. you must've been something.
you didn't miss anything. paul has always been the source of trouble for this whole family. you're a little out of line. shut up! you said so yourself many times. jane? anybody ready for dessert? i made my peach cobblerand homemade ice cream.
nah. no? so dad, did you like my sermon? did you give the message that god gave you to your congregation? then it matters not what i think. the only thing that really matters is the message that the people get. that is important.
do you know i can count the number of times you've ever complimented me? and that's saying a lot. i had 20 hit records. 10 of which went gold and five platinum. hey man, lay off dad man,we heard all this before. no no no, hold on, hold on. i won four grammys. four.
and you have never said a job well done. we heard enough of that, okay? yeah paul. thanks, peter. james. i believe i can handle this. everything you've said is true, paul. i judge a man by his character and not his accomplishments.
yes, you are right, i have not complimented you, neither have i commended you, for allyour accomplishments. that's true. dad, i wasn't accusing you, it was merely an observation, if i've offended you, then i'm sorry. it's all right, son. no offense taken.
i feel that your observationwarranted a response. diane, i will take the pieceof your cobbler now please. me too. i'll help you. thanks. ♫ they're writing the music ♫ and they're (mumbles) so why are we (mumbles)? yeah, that was very interesting.
(upbeat dance music) (knocking) paul! come on in, my friend. how you doing? good to see you. tally. good, good to see you. thanks for coming.
ladies. we were just recounting the glory days of the teardrops, 22 million albums sold and countless hits through the 80s there, and hey, given the tremendous interest in everything and anything retro over the years, my company has decided the time is right to bring back the teardrops.
sounds good. that's nice tally, but i don't do that type of music anymore. i mean if it's not praising the lord, then there's no place for it in my life. paul, we're not trying to make your religious beliefs disappear, i mean if anything we're doing the opposite. we thought as long as it's being
done in moderation, it'd be okay. right, so don't be so close-minded, paul. i mean listen to yourself,you sound so sanctimonious. i mean have you forgotten that we know who the real paul is underthose pastoral robes? as i said, my company is prepared to offer quite a sum if the teardrops decide to return for a one year tour. but our offer is made under the conditions
that all the teardrops return. i mean in that case... tally, you've wasted a trip. i just said i don't dosecular music anymore. paul, wait. my company has authorized a $30 million guarantee with a possible net of up to $100 million and a $10 millionadvance against the net. that's $2.5 million apiece easy.
paul, that's more than enough money to build your new church. and keep your wife at home and let her continue to be the firstlady of the church. you know, you all act asif i'm playing church. i mean as if my relationshipwith god is make believe. in the bible there's a passage that speaks about temptation. it's mark chapter one verse 13.
it said jesus lingered inthe wilderness for 40 days. he was tempted by satan, threatened by the wild beast, but the angelsministered unto him. as jesus replied to satan by saying "get thee behind me." tally junior is not here for a church lesson paul, all right? we just want an answer. why would you all think that i would
go for something like this without first consulting my lord and savior? no disrespect tally, but i'll have to pray about this and thendiscuss it with my wife. i don't know about everybody else in here, but yeah, you owe me. excuse me? i owe you nothing! this has nothing to dowith love, all right?
our concern is the teardrops. why don't you ask yourselfwhat jesus would do. because it's obvious tous that he's not doing for you now what he wasdoing for you back then. isn't it bad enough that i walk around here with the guilt and shame of what i've done to you over the years? i've asked god to forgive me for the sins that i've committed.
and he has forgiven me. but i will not allow you, jose, or loretta to make me feel like any less of a man than i already do. now it's good to see you tally, but i'm sorry it had to be underthese circumstances. good day. let it, let it settle. then we'll see.
can i get you a drink or something? let me just sit for a second. ♫ don't forget to praisehim when you wake up ♫ when you rise and shine and ♫ give god the glory call ♫ thanks for the wakeup ♫ keep searching, there always ♫ a (mumbles) ♫ when you rise and shineand give god the glory call

was something that he was taking at that point that might help. check with his job and see if there's any change in his behavior there. out. i'm worried about tim, i've tried everything, it's histhird suicide attempt. the antidepressants nauseate him and without them to stabilizehim, his chemical
imbalance is causing depression. that's nice, baby. maybe we should just let him kill himself, what do you think? maybe so, sweetheart. paul, where is your mind? certainly not here with me. oh. lord, i'm sorry, sweetheart.
can we put all this away? we need to talk. well that's a switch. we need to talk is usually my line. not that you usually respond though. come over here, lolla. just for a moment, just sit here and hear what i have to say. okay, i'm sitting.
is everything all right? no, everything is just fine. you remember tally juniorcame by the church today? right. well he... come on, paul. it was our ability to openly communicate that brought us together,so now out with it. well tally junior wants to put
together a teardrops reunion tour. he offered the teardropsa guaranteed net of $30 million with a possiblenet of 100 million, and a $10 million advance against the net. that's $2.5 million each. and how long would thismulti-million dollar tour last? he said a year. a year. and who would fulfill your
ministery duties while you're gone? we could appoint an interim pastor. we can talk about the details later, right now i wanna know what you think. what i think. must you ask what i think, paul? do you remember what i went through during the early years of our marriage? you were gone all the time.
you were coked up, out on the road, sleeping with loretta, and any other groupie who presentedherself at your door. and you sit there and ask me what i think about you going backout on the road again? what do you think i think? i'm a changed man and you know that. how can you even think about it, paul? i would never ever do that again.
never? paul, don't you realize when you're out performing 'till 12, 1o'clock in the morning, filled with adrenaline,high on the applause, what are you gonna do atthat time of morning, huh? you gonna go see a broadwayshow at 2 in the morning? will you take a stroll in the park? no, you'll do the samething all over again. 'cause you sure won't be holyin the ghost, now will you?
that was then, this is now. you just have to trust me and have faith. i have faith in god, but i do not trust that you will hear the whisper of god during all those loud concerts. and yes, the same thingwill happen all over again. i'm a man of god, for christ sakes! oh look at you. you haven't even decidedto do the tour and
already you're takingthe lord's name in vain. you're a man of god? then act like it. paul, don't let the evil one lure you from your path of righteousness. satan has you at thetop of a tall building, and instead of you sayingget thee behind me, you're saying i bet you can't push me off. i'm a christian.
you're a christian, wedon't fall that easily. you know that right now tiding is low. i mean the people give what they can, but it's not their fault. but by doing this tour, i could finance a ministry that will save even more souls. now i have a safety net, and that safety net is jesus christ, and i trust that he will catch mebefore the demons do.
please don't do this. you know as well as i do that everything that glitters is not gold. you know what? forget it. i'm through begging. but i will not allow myselfto suffer that pain again. look lolla, i've prayed on this. now i know it may soundlike a cliche, but...
god does work in mysterious ways. now he's opened up awindow of opportunity. and i'm going to step through it. i need for you to believethat he will guide me. i need for you to believethat he will be there for me. the church is suffering. i'm suffering. baby, this is our chance to do something good for the church.
you know what, paul? the church is suffering,but so is your home. so is your wife. baby, look, i'm doing this for all of us. for me, for you, for the church-- don't you dare sitthere and tell me you're doing this for anybodyother than yourself. admit it, paul. you miss all that hype.
when you got clean, you asked me to give you some time before we started a family. it's been years, paul. years! where does it end? where does it end, paul? or better yet, where do we,me and you, where do we begin? or end? (gentle piano music)

i want you to take this. here's a check for $3,000, just go. just go. $3,000. is that the amount you think is gonna make up for what you did to me? i don't need your money, paul. you know what, you can stop your little goody two-shoes act 'cause i don't see
any of your little churchmembers around here! look sister, i realize i did you an injustice, but i ask youfor your forgiveness now. my forgiveness. i was just a teenager when we met! granted i was over 18,and yes, i threw myself into your arms, but youmade huge promises to me! you promised to make me a woman, you promised to make me a star.
you never needed me for your career, you have a great voice. and you certainly didn't tellme you were in your teens. and while we're on the subject,let's clear up some cobwebs. i never told you you'd be my only woman. then you got me pregnant. then you forced me to have an abortion. and then it happened again, but that wasn't good enough foryou because it happened
again and you forced meto have another abortion! just so that your preciouslife wouldn't be disturbed! now you come here, you listen to me. you knew the score goingin, yet you continually try to trap me by forgetting to take your birth control pill, whatdo you want from me? i just wanted to have ababy one day, i just... but now i can't. because i was trying to please you!
and $3,00 can't fix that, paul. listen, i'm sorry, i got a plane to catch. but those were your babies too. and you will never havea child because your precious lolla is waybehind childbearing years! you killed our babies. (sobs) you murdered them. look, i soon learned that i did wrong. and asked god to forgive me.
i expect you to do the same. paul, your wife can't makeyou feel the way that i can. you know she can't, and she never will. peaches, peaches! you are way out of line! now you give deacon mayberry your phone number and i'll call you, all right? i gotta go. no, i'm not done talking to you--

how you feeling? you hungry? want something to drink? want a sandwich? i'll take something to drink. yeah? don't leave. plenty of sunshine through today, with seasonal temperatureswe should reach our
normal high of about 82degrees by this afternoon. we have breaking news. the hugely successful international tour of the recentlyreunited singing group the teardrops has come toan abrupt and tragic end. word on the street is there'sbeen a shooting in at least-- why'd you turn it off? same ol' boring stuff. here you go.
you're welcome. i think i'll take that sandwich. i'll be right back. there's been speculation since this tour began about rampant drug use and we're not sure if this shooting is the result of a drug deal gone bad. police are notifying next of kin as we speak, once we know the identities
of those dead and those wounded, we'll get those details to you as soon as possible. for now, reporting live, cathy watkins, back to you in the studio, jim. (ambulance siren ringing) am i right, doc? how can you talk to julie like that, bob? she got an illness too,just like all of us. or else none of us would be here.
(tim claps) it's alive and it speaks. jackie, what's the matter, youin love with julie now, huh? i mean i know you like women. or do you prefer the rosie type, huh? or maybe the ellen generoustype or whatever her name is. fool! who i like, or don't like, ain'tnone of your darn business. you ain't my doctor, and you'redarn sure ain't my shrink.
if you would focus on yourself, maybe you wouldn't be stuck here, on this saturday afternoon,with this lesbian, trying to get your socalled straight self fixed. keep messing with me. you'll get neutered. that'll really fix you. she's right tim, you're not being fair. no one can cast any stones,and you know what i mean.
(laughs) lesbo! lesbo! (crosstalk arguing) hey doc, we're gettinga little out of control. earth to doc! wooo, doc! i'm sorry, bob. i'm just a little bit tired today. how would everybody like it if we just
ended early, all of a suddeni don't feel very good. it's okay, doctor. we understand. but you did surprise us today. surprise you? surprise you how? by coming in at all, i mean shoot, if anything happened to my man, i wouldn't be anywhere near this place today.
happened, what are you talking about? are you referring to my husband? doc, you mean you didn't know? no, what... doc, your husband got caught up in a little mishap last night. (stammers) you really didn't know? if i knew, i wouldn't be asking! come on, give me some straight answers,
what did you hear, what happened? we saw it on the news last night. you know, channel four? the teardrops tried topurchase some drugs, the deal went bad, andseveral people got injured. most got killed. they said they couldn't release the name of the murder victims until they notify their next of kin.
what? was on every channel last night. this morning too. did they say where it happened? oh god, where are they playing? what city are they, where'smy planner, i gotta call. oh god, paul. doc, doc, you should go ahead and leave. we'll lock up.
okay, i'm sorry guys, but ihave gotta get out of here. and the lord told us that we know not the time, nor the hour,that we'll be called home. but we who know god,and we who know jesus, and we that know the holy ghost, we will be given eternal life. saved from death, we'll be able to say death, where's (mumbles)? death, where is thy victory?
it was already overtaken by jesus. i'll tell you right now,but you have to be ready! i said you have to be ready. (mumbles). that's right, because by and by, when the morning comes,you need to be ready. you need to know that the savior's on his way back for you. that's why we're here tonight.
our fallen brothers and our sister. so i want us to bow our heads. pray to god for these souls. you sir. you seek a sin to confirmyour own self-righteousness. i know 'cause i used towatch you from the pulpit. deacon! can you give me someof that gin you got up there behind the bar,this ol' cheap stuff here.
peaches. why don't you come on uphere and give me a kiss? baby come on, let's go home. don't touch me! (dramatic music intensifies) don't you ever touch me. come on remi, let's go. come on, jose. come on jose, you wannadrink with me, right?
paul, come on. you wanna drink with me, right jose? come on jose, just drink with me. remi drink with me, leave me alone! leave me alone! no, you leave me alone! no! you leave me alone! i wanna drink with my friends!
♫ i'm at the bottom of the ocean ♫ i'm just stuck here with a drink so how you holding up? i don't know what i'd dowithout your support, george. i'm just so tired. you need to pack up and get out of damascus and just never return. it's not that simple. yes it is.
you're the one that's making it difficult. even the bible allows fordivorce if adultery's involved. george, we're both wrong. i'm no better than he is. don't say that. of course you're better than he is. you're an angel. he abandoned you, remember? maybe so, but two wrongsdon't make a right.
and i meant my vows when isaid for better or for worse. this can't go on, lolla. you're my woman now. i've loved you for years. i wanna marry you and take care of you. and i have money, muchmore than you can imagine. i'm so confused. your choice should be clear. remember paul has peaches now.
i just don't know what to do. i better go, george. but we have to make a decision soon. i'm going crazy leading this double life. you must decide. as for me, my mind is already made up. pray for us, george. pray for all of us. ♫ help me be more patient than kind
♫ 'cause i feel like i'm losing my mind ♫ if i don't swallow my pride ♫ then i know we only got one life ♫ so i'm not gonna waste my time ♫ oh no no no no no ♫ feels like thesebricks are tumbling down ♫ and i can't find my way out ♫ on the streets i wanna go downtown tim, please, you have to try
and participate in the session. it'll do you some good. i can't, okay, i just can't. hey how much longer you gonna be? paul, please wait for me in the lobby. i'll just be a few minutes. i gotta be somewhere. i'm in the middle of asession paul, please. tim, describe what happens when you try
to mingle with a groupof 10 or more people. i just get to this point where i can't breathe and my heart start pounding. seeing y'all two is just crazy. jackie, we don't usethe word crazy remember? doc, you just don't like the word 'cause your husband is crazy. who you calling crazy? i'm standing out there,you calling me crazy?
you calling me crazy? you all, (mumbles) all these nuts in here? who you call crazy? i'm calling you-- (crosstalk and screaming) you said i'm crazy! that's crazy! you want crazy, something like that? you want some of that, i'm crazy!
you're just as crazy too! calm down, are you okay? (laughs) he got you. stop it, francis! ♫ never ever question him ♫ just remember jesus died for our sins ♫ let's all say amen ♫ because he's our friend ♫ and him is where it begins
paul, are you okay? i've never been better. ever since i picked up that pipe again and took up with you, i repudiated my god. and how do i thank him? by using elicit substancesand fornicating. and leading you and everyoneelse away from his glory. paul, that doesn'tmatter, i just, i know-- peaches, wait a minute, wait a minute.
why are you with me? huh? why you with me? i mean i don't love you. i mean between all the drugs i use, i mean the sex can't be thatgood, so why you with me? paul, i love you. i always will love you,and that's just something that's not gonna go away that easily.
do you remember earlier, when was that, when we was going on tourand stuff like that-- yes, i remember that, and that was the past, this is the present, and i know what i want, and i wanna be with you. but peaches, you can't even have kids. what could we have? each other. you're sweet, you know that?
look, i gotta go. i gotta make a stop. i'll get with you later on, okay? even my home is not safe enough from you. are you here to take all the things that i have worked hard for tosupport your crack habit? steal? i'm not gonna steal from my own parents. then what do you want, boy?
paul? i'm fine rose, go back to sleep! everything is all right here. you never liked me, and i wanna know why. even as a child i could tell. you are right. i've always loved you! and i never really likedyou, even as a child. you have weakness.
god forgive me, i despise weakness. look at you, you are disgusting. oh, i get it. you repudiate the reflection of yourself that you see in me, is that it? it is 3 o'clock in the morning, i suggest you find you another playground and another playmate. how easily we forget oursins once we become "saved".
if my memory serves me correctly, i remember you had anaffair with courvoisier. even when we were children, that still raveled my so calledaffection with cocaine. i admit it. but i had the strength to overcome it. so did i. i just decided to reintroduce myself to my old pleasures, so to speak.
i am losing my patience, boy. i have tried everything i can do with all amount of politeness that i can muster at 3 o'clock in the morning. in 10 seconds, i'm going to put you out. you just try it, old man. let's talk about the realreason you don't like me. it's lolla, isn't it? you never thought oneof your sons would grow
up and marry a womanwho was your mistress. that's it, isn't it? that's good. some good stuff, huh? who told you about that? hey, does mama know? it's none of your business, son. anyhow, the way i see it,lolla is too old for you. too old?
well let me see. you 65, so i'm closerto her age than you are. you do the math. does mama know that you dazzled this young woman with your power andmade her your mistress? you've got 10 seconds to leave my home, or you can choose tojoin melvin and miles, the two gentlemen that you'vealways so highly liked. i'm going, i'm going,i'm going, i'm going.
i'll see you again. (upbeat reggae music) ♫ like a running tide ♫ and gather fire with (mumbles) peaches, don't youthink you've had enough? they call this drowningin your sorrows you know. who are they, deacon? dance with me, peaches. let me be the shoulder you cry on tonight.
your shoulders aren'tquite my size, deacon. remember what ron isley said. what was that? can't love the one you want,love the one you're with. so what else does ron have to say? ♫ baby, can we talk for a minute now ♫ see i know that they have tried ♫ to divide you and i ♫ but it's you i need in my life

who is that? is that you, lord? i am jesus whom you are persecuting. what do you want from me? rise up and into the city, and you will be told what to do. my eyes, it burns. did you hear that? it was jesus.
(mumbles), come on. take me, i think i'm going blind. can't see, paul? are you sure? my vision is going away from me. are you sure, paul? go on, this way. no, no, here. ♫ lord, if i call you, iknow you can make it rain

i once was blind, but now i see. god has delivered me fromthe clutches of satan and released me fromthe things of the flesh. i have renounced dishonesty,lust, and craftiness. paul, paul, you're hallucinating. from the looks of things,you can't see a thing now. can you? how do you propose to lead this church? by faith.
i know that god would turnthe church over to me. because it's not you, it's he who decides. hold it right there, deacon! (shrieks) you're under arrest. obviously you have me mistaken with somebody, i don't knowwhat you're talking about. you obviously have the wrong man! nah, there's no mistake, pastor.
we've been watching thiscase for over a year. all the evidence pointsto mr. mayberry here. officer, couldn't we take this outside? could you please raise your hand sir, step down from the pulpit. turn around and move downthe aisle towards me. i will kill her! paul, help me please! now drop them!
