and give me a call

and tell me what to do,

but maybe if you wouldn't

mind praying for me.

Of course, dude. Yeah.

I'd really appreciate that.

I would really, really really appreciate

that. I got to get back to the booth.

Okay. Thank you, guys.

Thank you, thank you.

Hey, congratulations.

You're awesome.

Thanks.

What's up, you d.B.?

What up?

Brought you all some

breakfast taquitos.

Hey, guys, you got to read

some of these fan letters.

"Dearest God squad,

you are my heroes,

and I'd love to make your sidekick.

Unrighteousness?"

Not on my watch.

Four exclamation marks.

What the hell is that? Ty,

you got to check these out.

What?

Why did you do that? What?

Oh, you d... you didn't see

how excited that kid was?

That kid's name

is Cameron.

And you can't just push a decision

like that on someone you don't know.

I'm not pushing anything

on anyone, okay?

I'm just... he...

he believes that God

wants him to go to Africa.

I can't help if he's convicted. That's

not my fault. Are you kidding me?

You keep saying you're supporting people

who believe in God, but you're not.

All you're doing is pushing God

on people that believe in you.

You have to chill, okay?

I'm not doing anything

except saying what people

expect me to say... that's it.

And if people want to give money to

a good cause, what's so bad about...

what we're taking is

worse than their money.

You just turned Cameron's

life upside down

for something you don't

even believe in.

It doesn't matter if I believe

it, if you believe it.

It doesn't matter if any of us believe it.

We're here to facilitate...

no, we're here because you got

backed into a corner. That is it.

That's it, man.

It was you that

needed them,

not the other

way around.

Let me get this straight. So you think

that Cameron shouldn't go to Africa?

You think that

christians shouldn't make

the world a better

place, is that right?

Not if they're doing it for bullshit

reasons. It's not bullshit to Cameron.

He believes in Jesus. Why

does that bother you so much?

He only believes it

because people like you

stand on that stage

and sell it to him.

He doesn't know any better

than to buy it.

Hey, Tyler,

chill out, man.

- Just simmer down.

- Guys, we're all tired.

We're all stressed. We've

been on the road a long time.

Okay? Look, what I want

you to do... I'm done.

What?

I'm done, man.

What do you mean? I'm

not doing this anymore.

I can't do this

anymore.

And, guys, maybe

we don't have to.

Maybe we can just

leave the tour.

We all heard about the

earthquakes in Zambia, right?

And Cameron was just telling

us about some missionaries

that are going there

in the next few days.

We could just go to Ken and tell

him that God called us there.

How could he

argue with that?

We made enough money, and the time

to get out couldn't be better.

What's going on

in Zambia?

Don't

worry about Zambia, Baker.

We're not going to Zambia.

We're not going to Zambia.

'Cause there's plenty of

money to be had right here.

For once, this is the perfect time

for you to quit while you're ahead.

I didn't ask for your opinion. I'm

not lying to these people anymore.

Good, then leave, get out. You just

forfeit your share for somebody else.

Okay? Go find some

other internship.

Why don't you think about someone

other than yourself for a second?

Quiet!

No one's leaving.

We're gonna finish

what we started.

Works for me, Sam.

Okay?

Tyler? Tyler!

Sam,

I am not trying to put

you guys in a tough spot,

but tonight is

my last show, man.

And if y'all want to

keep going, then...

Well, then,

that's on you.

It's on me?

Hold on. Tyler.

Tyler!

So I know this is

just the worst timing.

Oh, no, no. No.

I understand.

I do.

Well, these are the total

donations from Dallas,

and Sam will be coordinating

with our offices

for the remaining shows.

Well, fantastic. We sure

will miss you around here.

Thank you

for everything,

and God bless you.

Hey.

I'm sorry.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry. Thanks for that.

I really appreciate it.

What are you doing?

What's up?

Awesome job tonight.

That was...

That was...

Oh, high five. Okay.

I'm going for it. Yep.

So, Gabriel has to meet

with Ken about something,

and I think it's gonna

be a while, but...

I would still be up for hanging

out with you guys if you want.

Oh, yeah.

Uh, I don't know if the guys are

gonna be able to make it anymore,

so...

That's fine.

But I'm still happy to

show you the city

if you want.

Uh...

I'd be up for it.

Yeah.

Yeah?

Yeah, sure.

Are you ready now?

- The trailer park's just down the street.

- Okay.

Wait, what?

Honestly, I spent

more time playing soccer

with the kids than I

ever did teaching. Yeah?

Yeah.

Why am I not surprised?

Here, I want you

to see them.

Oh, wow.

Oh, he's a good-looking guy.

I know.

He's strapping.

Hey, I know

you hear this enough,

but I have to say it:

You're really making a

difference over there.

It's just, it matters,

that's all.

He's a cool kid.

Mm-hmm.

You really miss

Lesotho, huh?

Yeah.

How come

you came back?

I wanted people here

to know Jesus too.

You know,

I wanted them

to come to things

like this and not miss

the whole point

of it all.

I don't know.

I just...

I'm not sure

if I've really

changed anything.

Callie,

you are not

responsible

for changing

everybody.

You can't be.

Yeah.

The truth is,

some of these people

are gonna show up,

and they're gonna miss the point

of it all, they just are.

But, you got to believe

that these events

inspire hope, and that is

better than being hopeless.

That's something.

I guess I just

feel like

if your hope's

not in Jesus,

then...

Maybe you are hopeless.

Don't you?

Hey.

Hey, good morning.

Good morning.

You sound tired.

You weren't driving some poor girl around

the city till 1:
00 A.M., were you?

Hey, uh, do you want to grab

breakfast with me or something?

I just, uh...

I just wanted to talk

to you about something.

Hold on a second.

Can you hold on?

Hey.

Hey.

You got a sec?

Hey, did Baker sleep

in here last night?

Uh, I don't know.

Where is he?

I think he went to

some party near campus,

but I'm not sure.

Where are you going?

Okay, that sounds fine.

What's that?

I said that sounds fine.

Uh, great, okay.

Why don't I meet you

downstairs at a quarter till?

Okay. Okay, see you in a bit.

Hey, have you seen

my keys anywhere?

Uh, no.

What are you doing?

Uh, big Russ got a glimpse

of my credit card statement

showing where my

allowance money went,

so he said I got 48 hours

to get it back to him,

or I'm gonna have to work

for him to pay it off.

So I'm gonna need

my share of the cash.

Yeah, uh, I'm gonna need to talk

to you about that. What's up?

I think we should

give the money back.

That's great.

I think we should give it

to a real charity. Uh-huh.

I'm serious. Look, I get

that this was my idea.

I get that. I get that I said it
