The Eyes of Tammy Faye Edit

A baby.

A day of celebration,

A long way.

A lot.

A place where they can, um...

A place where they know

A pleasure and a blessing.

A woman needs a man in a relationship!

A year later, we're in six markets and growin'.

About how to overcome fear.

Accept the blood!

Add salt

After all this unpleasantness settles down.

After three months of seclusion.

After you did what you did with Gary.

Against the devil's schemes.

Ah, thank God.

Ah.

Ah.

Ahem. Jezebel.

All I gotta do is dunk my hand.

All I needed was 700 people to keep us going.

All I've been doing is trying to keep our marriage together,

All of a sudden, I realized

All of it.

All of us is going to be banished.

All right, let me get you set up.

All right, Tammy Faye is going to sing a song for us.

All right.

All right. So...

All right. Thank you both very much for being with us.

All right. You need a water or anything?

All the television ministries

All this interesting stuff.

All those people looking at me and clapping.

All those souls you won

Almost an entire jar of peanut butter.

Am I doing that all right?

Amen!

Amen!

And $5 million in fines.

And a pride in this Christian paradise

And before you know it, we'll have our own church.

And breathe the same air that you breathe?

And Buddy Holly and...

And caught up in the fighting

And Charles Shepard has the story from The Observer.

And cheating on me with that ape!

And Dede's dead animal. We paid for it.

And deprivation in our lives

And did you try to be around girls and everything

And don't forget, remember, God loves you.

And drinking soda pop

And everything looks very, very different

And Fats was singing Blueberry Hill

And forgive me my sins.

And God bless you! God bless you!

And God didn't make any junk.

And handicapped children.

And have you found it to be true

And he barely touches me anymore.

And he has no arms at all.

And He has placed all the powers of heaven

And He has.

And he is the sweetest, tiniest little thing you ever saw.

And He loves you just the way you are!

And He said that I belong on TV just as much as you do.

And He said that I gotta speak up.

And he squeezes that several times

And he told me that he's thinking about making a bid for President.

And he wanted me, Jim.

And He will love you.

And he'll get this man back to Nashville, where he belongs.

And He's giving me more visions every day.

And he's gonna print it tomorrow.

And he's so generously allowed us to talk to him today.

And how sad is that?

And I am a little nervous.

And I called you, Roe.

And I can smell his chicken, yes.

And I come from a time

And I forgot

And I have to self talk myself, "You can make it, Tammy.

And I hurt when people hurt,

And I know I got lost...

And I learned a lesson of loneliness

And I lost control of the car.

And I love people.

And I need you to not ask more of me than I can give.

And I played golf the next day.

And I pray that God will use you again.

And I ran over a little boy,

And I should talk about real things for grown ups.

And I swirl...

And I think it's very important

And I think you have to apologize.

And I think you've learned as well, is,

And I wanna put my arms around you, Tammy Faye.

And I wanna sing and not in a puppet voice.

And I wanna talk about issues that affect people's daily lives.

And I worked for you.

And I would really love to give them that chance

And I... I was having these urges

And I'd like to introduce you to Steve.

And I'm a very practical person.

And I'm gonna use it for practice.

And I'm just being honest about the way that life is.

And I'm providing solutions

And I've just been thinking,

And I've seen people with little

And if we can get enough children to come,

And in me and in us, 'cause if you don't,

And it never worked.

And it will go away,

And it's a stunning replica.

And it's a way for people to talk about their problems,

And it's for kids and also for adults.

And it's gonna be called The 700 Club.

And it's like meeting him in person for the first time.

And it's named after a sweet little boy named Kevin.

And it's the happiest time of the year, it's Christmas!

And it's time that we all change that.

And it's up to you to resist his temptations. Hallelujah!

And it's warm outside.

And it's written right here in the good book.

And Jim is gonna have

And let him know we got a better gig down here.

And my eyebrows are permanently on,

And my eyes are permanently lined

And my father held my hand

And my manly duties.

And no one's gonna wanna look at me without my trademark.

And on top of this, we have numerous past due bills...

And our audience won't like that.

And over here,

And people don't treat important men the way that you treated me.

And put our arm around them

And quiet concern...

And remember, never forget it.

And show the kids how wonderful God is.

And since then, I have learned of fiscal irregularities.

And some people, they're just hurting so bad

And stay on the air delivering the word of God every day.

And such an episode is bound to taint the name "preacher."

And swirl.

And Tammy Faye Bakker

And Tammy wants to send you a copy of her book...

And tell them that we care?

And thank God, the sun is going to shine again.

And thank you for Mother's understanding, even if she doesn't understand.

And thank you, God, for love.

And that I should sing and I should be funny.

And that poor girl, Jim.

And that reporter from The Charlotte Observer

And that they're afraid to be in the same room as you

And that way, the partners,

And that's the way with Jesus, you know?

And the devil will make a home in you!

And the First Bank of International Falls,

And the man becomes firm.

And the money came from PTL donors.

And then here at what is going to be our coliseum.

And then I'd like to hear what you see me doing.

And then we'll start fresh.

And then we're going to have a trolley.

And then, every day, these creditors...

And there he is.

And there was all this snow on the ground

And there's never any release to the pain.

And there's no limit to Tammy Faye and I either.

And there's so much that we don't talk about.

And they seemed honest.

And they're very happy to accept the love.

And this is my favorite part.

And throw up, and throw up.

And to spread the word of God.

And to thank the people who are standing with us all over,

And told me that I was his son, no matter what.

And we ask that you shine your light...

And we come back.

And we could build our own in half that.

And we have a variety...

And we just need to love them.

And we said we were gonna try to have another baby.

And we'll be like Oral Roberts and his wife.

And we're live in five, four,

And we're so thankful that God has forgiven us.

And what happened to Jimmy Summerfield?

And what you see is all there is of me.

And what's this, Jim?

And when he does, it's not enthusiastic.

And when I get up in the morning,

And when they fall from grace, they fall harder.

And with the help of your investment,

And you can stay there until your new house is ready.

And you can't sit still.

And you could go to the Upper Room.

And you gotta say hi first.

And you keep on asking me for more

And you need this song today, too.

And you sow in his kingdom.

And you would call this show, what?

And you?

And you're just distracting me.

And, by far, the most prosperous.

And, plus, I don't wanna balloon up with the new baby coming.

And, Steve, because of this feeling,

And, uh, we could all use a little bit of that.

And, um, he was freaked out.

And, um...

And, um...

And, you know, everyone says I'm supposed to be tired,

And, you know, get the food to my mouth.

And, you know, go where they go.

And, you know, if I take that away, then it's not me,

And, you know, there's been too many hurts

And...

And...

Anyone who's hurting or they feel like they've been left out.

Anyway, I'm calling to invite you to sing

Anyway, Jim doesn't have that in him. Believe me.

Are afraid so badly of an AIDS patient

Are calling "pearly gate."

Are thanking you for fixing dinner...

Are their fellow evangelists Jimmy Swaggart,

Are you cold?

Are you gonna divorce me, Jim?

Are you ready to accept the love?

Are you...

Are, in effect, that you stole PTL blind.

Aren't the three of you

Aren't they, Roe?

Aren't you cute? Well, do you know about God, Susie?

Aren't you glad He touched you?

Aren't you gonna come in, have somethin' to eat?

As cute as a button?

As for the homosexual advances going back to 1956,

As Jesus says in Mark 5...

As you were saying, Jerry?

At Knott's Berry Farm.

At this year's festival of Praise and Redemption.

Aw.

Bakker personally directed the payment of PTL hush money.

Be right to remember,

Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power.

Because no matter what happens to a young person in their lives,

Because of our satellite, from this moment on,

Because of something terrible that I did

Because that's my trademark.

Because the devil is all around us!

Because there is no condemnation for them

Because we're winning millions of souls for Jesus.

Because what you see is all you get.

Because without that beautiful grace,

Been poking around.

Before Fred made you respectable and stuff.

Believe you me, I will be having words with her.

Between you and the ministry.

Biggest earner we got. You stay focused.

Bless his little heart.

Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God.

Blessed are they that hunger and thirst for His glory,

Blessed, Gary, blessed.

Bought with church donations.

Bringing God's love to all people.

Broadcasting live across this great nation.

Burning in Hell because you don't listen

But against the powers of this dark world!

But America is for them, too.

But God hates divorce.

But God's hope for us

But how can we afford it, Jim Bakker?

But I believe, Tammy.

But I don't wanna go to Hell.

But I enjoy that. That's just who I am.

But I got saved!

But I just can't help the feeling that something else is going on here.

But I just wanna love people.

But I know for certain

But I'll do my best

But I'm not gonna tell you right now.

But I've been praying on it.

But if every person watching

But if he runs, he'll peel away vital Republican votes.

But if it's real,

But if you keep acting like that, if you keep talking to Falwell that way,

But it didn't go away.

But it's a fitting word, isn't it, Tammy?

But it's been going on for a long time, Tammy.

But Jesus is life.

But my eyelashes stay right where they are.

But now, we are on television.

But people who have sown seed in the word of God,

But that's done now.

But the penile implant of the inflatable type

But they had no better luck than the waiting newspeople.

But tonight they are out of business.

But us Christians,

But with puppets.

But you have to have faith in Him

But you remind them I was divorced.

But you shut down CBN at 10 p.m.

But, oh, you know me. I can't rest,

But, uh...

But, you know, I got that bond going with my audience, you know?

But, you know, we're not strangers.

But, you know, we've just been through too much together

But, you know, you gotta shake my hand,

By now, perhaps you think that we should be used to these attacks.

Bye.

Called the Praise The Lord Club.

Calling some of our secretaries, asking for comments.

Can I just say I love you so much?

Can I take your pledge?

Can I touch you like that?

Can we talk about Satan later?

Can you hear me? Can you hear me?

Can you pay for this?

Can you take the baby away from her, please?

Can you take your lips off?

Can you talk to God?

Can you...

Careful, you'll end up looking like a clown.

Casting down imaginations

CBN.

Come here and powder his nose.

Come here.

Come in, please. Please come in. Welcome.

Come on, everybody! Feel his miracle!

Come on, let's go see Daddy.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Let me give you a tour.

Come on. Stand up,

Come on. We're...

Come spring, me and Jim are going to be traveling preachers,

Come, this way. Show's about to start.

Coming to you from Praise The Lord studios

Congratulations, Jim.

Could double their pledge just for one month...

Could double their pledge right now,

Could I sit down?

Cut! Very good, everyone.

Damn it, Jim!

Dance with me, Jim.

Debate. I think it gets us all back to unity.

Dede's wearing a mink. That's a real mink!

Democrats are already trying to strip away our churches' tax exempt status.

Deposed Evangelists Jim and Tammy Bakker

Depraved is a very big word, Jim.

Did you feel like maybe you weren't like some of the other guys?

Did you feel like you were different?

Did you know they had that rule when you did this?

Did you know?

Did you try to make friends with girls?

Do his eyes tell you how beautiful you are?

Do it now and I want to send you Susie Moppet puppets.

Do not leave the salt of the covenant of your God

Do you know what time it is? Why are you calling so late?

Do you wanna sing it? Can you do it?

Do you wanna talk some more?

Does he hear how amazing you are?

Does he listen to you?

Does his touch tell you how talented you are?

Does she, Susie?

Does that make sense to you?

Doesn't sound very blessed to me.

Don't beg.

Don't make him cross at you, Jim.

Don't touch me!

Don't you already have your hands full

Especially from someone who preaches as good as you do, Jim.

Especially when the Devil is makin' us doubt.

Eternal love, and eternal wealth!

Even if we softened 'em up and kept...

Every day, I have rapture.

Every time I try and talk to him,

Every time she calls, she screams,

Every time we fall,

Every year the jellies got less and less fresh.

Everything.

Everything's about proportion.

Exactly what you could see in Jerusalem.

Except you don't have to get on a plane.

Expect failure.

Feel love forever!

Feel the spirit! Say, "Glory.

Feeling unloved, and useless.

Five years ago, the PTL network

Fletcher set it up

For Jesus...

For our struggle isn't against flesh and blood,

For the amazing grace of God.

For their personal use.

For they shall be filled.

For years.

Formal living quarters for some of the staff.

Fred said that we could stay until the weather changes.

From men who have told me about your homosexual advances.

From Oral Roberts School of Divinity.

From The Observer.

From the President.

Gary here, he just makes it all so awesome.

Gary wanted me, Jim, in ways that you don't.

Gary, he told me that I was beautiful and that I was talented.

Gary.

Gary.

Get back to the good old days.

Get in. Get in. Come on.

Give that to me.

Give unto Him everlasting glory, He rules forever! Amen!

Giving me more orders all the time.

Glory to God!

Glory to God!

Go ahead, audience, go ahead.

Go ahead.

Go on.

God as my witness,

God becomes your source when you give

God bless America. Hallelujah.

God bless you, honey.

God bless you.

God bless you. You've reached Tammy.

God does not want us to be poor!

God doesn't want you yet.

God has a fixed law of giving.

God has worked miracles!

God loves you.

God proves His love again

God said that we're supposed to have a good life.

God smiles on a husband and wife.

God starts turning those wheels in your life!

God told me He wants me to have what Pat has.

God wants us just to run free.

God, He came right down and He whispered it in my ear.

God, I'm so sorry.

God?

God...

God...

God'd love me like He's supposed to.

God's on our side, Roe.

Golly Moses, this thing weighs a ton.

Gonna take your foundation off.

Good grief.

Good night, Mom. I love you.

Gosh, we've been having these pranks for a long time.

Got some bubbles at the swap meet.

Gotta do my homework, baby.

Grown up reasons.

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah! Praise God! Praise Him!

Hallelujah! Yes! Yes!

Have fun.

Have I ever told you

Have I ever told you that?

Have you always been involved with the church, Mr. Fletcher?

Have you counted your blessings today, Tammy Faye?

Have you given more thought to our show idea?

Have you never done pictures without those eyelashes?

Have you seen this woman?

He gave me this verse last night.

He glances up at the camera.

He has a plan for us.

He has one named for him.

He has so many big ideas.

He hasn't returned any of my calls.

He is presently taking chemotherapy and is unable to travel.

He is with us!

He is.

He just keeps making excuses not to see me.

He lived.

He now faces up to a 120 years in prison

He really does!

He really, really, really does.

He said it to me.

He said, "Jim Bakker,"

He says I'm not gonna tell people who's going to Hell, Jim.

He simply reaches down

He speaks through her. Say, "Hallelujah!"

He told me, "Don't tell anybody."

He wants to help. He told me so himself.

He was my friend.

He was nowhere near saying yes until I sat down.

He will gift the faithful with eternal life,

He'd get a kick outta you two.

He's greater than any problem.

He's just really busy.

He's so precious, Jim.

He's talking right to you in the comfort of your living room.

He's the developer of Heritage USA.

He's the president

Heaven is heaven, that is for sure.

Hello, everybody.

Hello, Mommy.

Hello, Mother.

Hello, Mother. This is Jim Bakker,

Hello, Mrs. Bakker. This is Linda Thomas

Hello, Tom. Thanks for comin'.

Hello.

Hello. Hey, Pat!

Her daughter worked so hard for

Here and now, and in this very, very moment.

Here and now.

Here the whole time.

Here, this is for the piano player.

Here? No, I can't.

Hey, everyone, come here, come here.

Hey, hey, Jim, how are ya?

Hey, I saw you preach last night.

Hey, Jim, I've been thinking.

Hey, Mom. Did you see the show?

Hey, now, the puppet people!

Hey, Tam.

Hey, that's a nice coat.

Hey.

Hey. Sorry I'm late.

Hi, everybody!

Hi, everybody!

Hi, everybody.

Hi, honey.

Hi, I got a new outfit for the show.

Hi, Jim. Today's a happy day.

Hi, Susie Moppet.

Hi, Tammy!

Hi, there.

Hi!

Hi! Nice to meet you!

Hi.

His hands are attached to his shoulders

Hitch up your wagon to God.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm. Congrats, Jim.

Hmm. How's that?

Hmm. Well...

Hold on.

Homosexual agenda.

Honest and true.

Honey, it's been two months,

Hoping to get a glimpse of the elusive evangelists,

How about we make it all about the importance

How can I hear Him when the sky is fake?

How could you have trusted people like that?

How is she?

How much I care for my husband.

How much money did you earn last year?

How's Fred doing? Is he settling in okay?

How's there supposed to be bubbles

Huh?

Huh.

Hundreds of thousands of folks are hearin' the word.

I already have a coat.

I am genuinely, I am so happy

I am not getting up on the pedestal.

I appreciate you signing the divorce papers, Jim.

I believe that the sun will shine again.

I bet they're spoiled. Do you spoil them?

I borrowed my daddy's car to take her out,

I built all of this. I built you an empire.

I can do The 700 Club for a time.

I can't believe you've never made it down to the studios before.

I couldn't think of abandoning them right now.

I destroyed everything.

I did it to prove something to myself, I think. I... I don't know.

I did?

I didn't do anything. Please.

I didn't feel a thing. Not a thing.

I didn't know how to say glory or hallelujah,

I didn't know that. I'll stop.

I didn't know what the words "glory" or "hallelujah" be

I didn't sleep all night.

I didn't want to, Tam.

I do not know how much I make. I never thought about it.

I do that. Oh, I do.

I don't appreciate being bamboozled like that.

I don't belong in there with them.

I don't have the exact figure.

I don't know how to do it.

I don't know if you ever have a positive balance in a ministry, Jim.

I don't know what I'm doing here.

I don't know what this is everybody's getting,

I don't know, Tammy.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. The sound was off.

I don't need it.

I don't see the repentance there.

I don't think I forgot.

I don't think that boat's ever seen water.

I don't wanna be your mother.

I don't wanna take care of you, Jim.

I ended up just crying in the bathroom.

I feel like I'm just gonna throw up...

I feel like I'm letting you down.

I fell...

I followed you ever since I was a little girl.

I gave her money to stay quiet, but she didn't.

I got an invitation from Oral Roberts to sing.

I got somethin' for ya.

I got you set up in the guest room

I guess it's a good time as any to work on the tan.

I guess the housewives of America

I happen to be eating for two.

I hated it.

I have a genuine, genuine love for people.

I have a song for you.

I have always prayed to Him

I have five grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren.

I have seen him perform miracles.

I have the baby, you know.

I haven't been this excited about working with an artist

I haven't had anyone claim to be a faith healer to my face

I hear you're here to pitch me something.

I just don't think it's a good fit for us right now.

I just feel like a million dollars.

I just met Steve

I just need it done. That is your job.

I just think of them as other human beings that I love.

I just turn the knobs here. She sings like an angel.

I just wanna say, remember, God loves you.

I just want the sleeves a little shorter.

I knew you were my man, Roe.

I know him better than anyone.

I know I cared about things

I know so.

I know, but people just eat him up.

I know, I know. I know.

I know, I see him. We'll sit down, we'll sit down.

I know, Jim.

I know! I wish we had smell o vision,

I know.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I leapt upon that altar.

I learned how much I love my husband,

I learned the best lesson in my whole life

I like this.

I live right there. We're neighbors.

I look like a bear.

I love it, Mother.

I love what you're trying to do here, Jim.

I love you.

I loved you.

I made a bargain with God.

I made a pledge to continue to expose the sins in this country.

I mean, it's serious, but it's also funny.

I mean, you're the expert.

I might be able to help you out.

I need you not to get in my way.

I never got a rest.

I never have to go to church again.

I pray for you, Jim.

I prayed on it. And, um...

I realized I was gay when I was about 11 or 12.

I really wish you wouldn't encourage these blasphemers.

I ruptured Jimmy Summerfield's lung...

I said to Him,

I saw his wife. I heard the accusations,

I say, have at it.

I see the avarice that brought them down.

I see the greed. I see the self centeredness.

I served you.

I should have worn the other dress.

I should.

I shouldn't have put so much faith in that bank.

I spent some summers with my wife

I talked with a pastor in the church where I grew up

I think I made the payments.

I think it's gonna be pretty.

I think that's fantastic.

I think that's so important

I think they're wanting some of that chicken.

I think you'd be a wonderful addition to our program.

I thought Falwell took everything.

I thought for a second that you were proud of me.

I thought that would be, you know, a fun title.

I thought they were parishioners.

I thought you liked Betty Boop.

I told him how fragile you are.

I told you she lived here. What a freak.

I tried to "program" myself to be straight

I turned to my favorite scripture,

I understand that Gary drove you here?

I used to love to make people dance.

I wanna be saved.

I wanna hold you.

I wanna put my arm around you.

I wanna say that, too. God loves you.

I want miracles for all of us!

I wanted to show you this, too.

I was here.

I was just curious.

I was just having a little, fun little chat

I was just up worried sick about that boy dying.

I went too far. I went too far. I'm sorry.

I work at a local television station

I would like to introduce you

I would like to start with a verse.

I wouldn't even be here today.

I...

I... I can't look at this.

I... I parked it here.

I'd love to go to the piercing parlors with them,

I'd love to go to the tattoo places with them, and...

I'd swap her for a can of soup.

I'll be right back.

I'll call you right back.

I'll take it downstairs.

I'll tell ya, I do miss dancing.

I'll tell you anything you wanna know.

I'm an important man, Tammy Faye!

I'm ashamed of that.

I'm building so much for Him

I'm changing the baby, honey.

I'm eight months pregnant, Gary,

I'm fine. We'll say hi later.

I'm Fletcher, Jim's right hand man.

I'm going back to work for you.

I'm going to tell you something, too,

I'm gonna clear my head, I'm gonna pray.

I'm gonna put a picture of that guy's butt...

I'm gonna sing the word in every tent, in every church.

I'm gonna think about what I want.

I'm gonna wade in the water.

I'm hearing there are articles like this in the paper every day.

I'm here for you.

I'm just gonna do that.

I'm just so glad to have you here in the PTL property with me, Mom.

I'm just wonderful, Jim. I'm... I'm so wonderful.

I'm not a drug addict.

I'm not a gambler, Mr. Bakker.

I'm not gonna ever get there.

I'm not gonna go.

I'm not messing around.

I'm not sure what's so Christian about decorating a cupcake.

I'm only addicted to Diet Coke.

I'm only one man, Tammy.

I'm only one man.

I'm scared.

I'm so excited I'm just beside myself.

I'm so happy I could be here.

I'm so sick from my faith in you!

I'm so sorry, Jim.

I'm so sorry, Tammy.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.
