Believe Me Page #8

---

so you don't think I'm...

I think you're

a liar and a thief

because you lied and stole

from thousands of people.

Is that about right? Is that

pretty much what happened?

I did lie about what I

believe, and I did lie...

Sam, stop, okay?

I am forgiving you, all right?

And that's it.

You're forgiving me? Just like that?

Yep, just like that.

I don't accept.

Excuse me?

You're playing the Christian

card and don't mean it.

Just be honest with me!

Why do you assume that acting like a

Christian means not being honest?

Because I know you're upset. I

know that I let everybody down.

Yeah, Sam, that's what happens

when you try to please everyone.

You have to lie to keep them

happy, and then eventually

you run out of lies

and everyone hates you.

Wow. Okay. Okay.

Did you ever hear that

Einstein failed a math class?

Yeah, that's actually not true.

Yeah, I know,

but the point is, teachers

still tell students that today

because it inspires

a sense of hope.

Well, those teachers

are stupid,

because there's plenty

of other stories out there

that are inspirational

and actually true.

Yeah. Yeah.

Look, Sam, if you

want to live right,

if you want to do right by

people, just be honest.

You want me to be honest? You want

me to be honest and go to jail.

You want me to be honest

and go to jail...

what about all the people that are gonna

walk away from their faith because of me?

Is that what I should do?

You have no problem lying

and letting an entire

village suffer for it?

Of course I have

a problem with...

Sam, listen, listen.

I am not trying to tell

you what to do, okay?

But if anyone's faith is in you,

they should walk away from it.

And this isn't me

trying to make some

come-to-Jesus moment,

okay, it's just...

It seems like you don't

even know what you believe,

and I think

until you do know,

your best answer is that

you don't have one.

I just think you should put your hope

in something that's worthy of you.

That's all.

Callie...

I'm so sorry.

For everything.

I hope

you know that.

I hope that's true.

You got a minute?

We're not getting

to the money.

I can get to the money. That's

not the problem. What is?

Ken will never let me...

Ken cannot stop you.

Then somebody else will.

You don't understand.

These people put me in this box, like

the only thing I can do is music.

And then they resent me

'cause they're jealous.

They don't resent you

because they're jealous,

they resent you because

you're kind of a dick.

No, no, look. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Look. Listen.

You need to cut this

rock-star crap, dude, okay?

Listen, I think you're the perfect

guys to run project "get Wells soon."

I know that your heart

is in the right place,

but, man, you got to

change your attitude.

I think we can really help each

other, but you got to trust me.

Now, do you know

any other songs?

Mm.

Aha! Come in!

Come in, come in.

I'm just getting my stuff ready.

Yeah. Yeah.

I about fell out of my chair when you

called and said you had a new song.

Yeah, well, I'm just experimenting

with a few new words.

Ah, I get it.

Artist thing.

I understand.

One second.

Hello.

Yes, it's him.

Huh?

Oh. Uh...

Wh... uh...

Absolutely.

And you are here

right now?

Well, yeah, I can

come down right now.

Sounds great. Thank you

see you soon.

Gabriel, this is it!

You just tune up,

do what you need to do,

warm up, whatever.

I'm gonna run

downstairs real quick.

Apparently someone from

the holy herald is here

talking about rankings.

All right. I'll just do

some scales or something.

Great. Bye-bye.

Good evening.

I can't tell you how happy we

are to be back here in Houston.

Tonight,

let's get rid of

every distraction

and focus on

praising Jesus.

- Amen?

- Amen!

All right.

Here we go.

Jesus

yo!

What's up, dude?

How you doin'?

Hey, dude,

you never told me about

the party the other night.

How was it?

You don't even...

It was a disaster.

Really?

Yeah.

I drank 19 beers,

and three months ago,

that's bad-ass.

And now it was

just like,

"who's the old guy with the

drinking problem?"

Still, college, no parents.

Right?

No.

Nope.

I got to get a life.

Yo!

Yo, yo, what's up?

What's up, you d.B.'S?

You guys just

making out, or...

Baker, we've got

a real love.

Yeah. Something you

wouldn't understand.

Hey, uh, guys?

I just wanted to say,

I'm really, really sorry

about everything.

If I could do this whole

summer over again, you know...

ah, you're good, Sam.

Yeah. I mean, the

idea, from the onset,

terrible.

Thank you.

But you got to

see it to the end.

I did you get you

a hell of a recommendation.

Don't worry about that, man.

Unless you already wrote it.

'Cause, then, yeah.

Yeah, I'll take it.

I did. You will.

I just wish all y'all could've

got something out of it.

Uh... we got

something out of it.

Check this out.

Boom, for you.

Boom, for you.

Thanks. What is it?

What is this?

Our fat stacks, yo! Royalty

checks from cross dressing!

Baker, this is $6,500.

Guys, I'm the frigging man.

This happened.

Yeah, yeah.

You know what?

You should just

take my check.

All of y'all, just split it up.

What?

I got to work for my dad

anyways after this

to pay back some debts,

so I already got a job.

I don't need... although,

with all these checks,

I could pay him

back right now

one fell swoop,

which would be great

for me and him,

probably you guys too.

You know what, Pierce?

None of us

could thank you enough.

That's very sweet

of you. That's...

- Are you serious?

- Yeah.

You're supposed to say, "no, we

couldn't," and then you give me my...

forget it.

Just give me my...

are you gonna go down? All right,

you're going down right now.

Hey, you guys,

Gabriel's...

Uh...

Gabriel's on

his last song.

Hey, Baker,

let's finish

what we started.

You got it, Pierce.

Yeah, man, I'm gonna

get to the booth.

Okay.

Hmm?

Will you give today

for a better tomorrow?

You know, if you

make $25,000 a year,

you're in the top 10%

of wealth in this world.

I mean, we are blessed

beyond belief,

and yet I don't think there's

anybody in this room who cares.

That's it.

All right.

It's heavy.

Hey, what are you

gonna say?

Uh...

I don't know.

Just...

I'll just get out there

and say the first thing that

pops into my head, I guess.

Hey, can you... Can you

deliver something for me?

Uh, yeah.

Sure.

Thanks.

Callie?

Yeah?

You...

You know how the other night you

were talking about how you feel like

you're on tour, and...

You haven't

changed anything?

You really shouldn't worry

about that so much.

It is now my

distinct pleasure

to introduce

to you the man

behind this mission.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Mr. Sam atwell!

Thank you guys.

Thank you all

so much.

I was just reading Matthew,

and, uh,

there's this story

about a rich, young guy

who meets Jesus,

and he asks him,

"how do I get

into heaven?"

And Jesus is like,
