Conversations with God Page #3

Oh, oh. It's-It's- It's wonderful.

I've been waiting

for this day ever since...

your name came

on the schedule months ago.

Oh, well, here. Um, let me, uh-

let me show you to the- to the greenroom.

Yeah. Um-

Listen, Harry, um-

Uh-What did you like

about the book?

Oh, I-I don't want to bother you.

Oh, not bothering me at all.

I'm, uh- I'm interested.

I spent a lifetime in anger-

toward my father.

I'm not gonna stand here

and drop sugar all over this...

'cause my old man

was a mean old cuss.

I hated him.

Strong words, I know, but true.

And this book-

your book-

helped me finally, after 20 years

of that anger, that-that hatred, to-

well, to forgive my father.

What I was feeling about my father was

really what I was feeling about myself.

And I had to forgive myself

for the feelings I had- the anger I had-

toward my father.

That's the first time

I think I've ever said that out loud.

Well, here, here.

Page three.

I know your book.

Sure do.

"My most common

form of communication...

"is through feeling.

"Feeling is

the language of the soul.

"If you want to know what's true

for you about something...

look to how you're feeling

about it. "

Fitch?

Fitch. Fitch?

- Can you hear me, Fitch?

- Jesus. I'm drunk, not deaf.

Why are you doing this?

I'm not doing anything.

That damn pancreas has got

a mind of its own.

I'm just playing the hand I'm dealt.

Don't start with me.

- You're killing yourself. You know that?

- Don't ask me to stop drinking.

I can't do that.

You're gonna be a real

pain in the ass, aren't you?

All right.

Cleanup in aisle three.

Cleanup in aisle three, please.

Um-

Thank you.

Good morning.

Ho, ho, ho! Merry-

Hi, Santa

I'm not gonna die in that park.

Good morning. Rrogramming.

- Yes. I'm calling about the ad.

- Come again?

Excuse me.

Um, could I speak with

the program director, please?

He's on air at the moment.

What can I help you with?

Well, I'm calling about the ad, uh,

for the weekend radio deejay.

Hello?

That ad wasn't supposed

to run until next week.

Well, I'm holding the paper

in my hand.

Which paper?

The Ashland Daily Tidings.

I'm sorry.

What is the date today?

Today?

November 7.

Hello?

No- Uh, no.

I'm-I'm still here.

Sorry. Um-

Is there a position available?

Yeah. It's been a revolving door

around here for the last six months.

Tell you what. How 'bout I take

your name and number...

and I'll make sure Roy

gives you a call.

Is there any chance I could

converse with Roy today?

He's extremely

preoccupied at the moment...

but I'll see what I can facilitate.

At what number can he reach you?

Uh, yes, y-yes.

He-He can reach me at, um-

He can reach me at 555-7507.

And my name is Neale.

Hello, Neale. I'm Leora.

Nice chatting with you.

Yes, well, it's been nice chatting

with you too, Leora. Thank you. And bye-bye.

And look forward to the call.

Hey-

Excuse me

Excuse me!

Excuse me!

Uh- Do you know how long

this is going to be?

I'm-I'm, uh-

I'm expecting a phone call.

- It's- It's sort of important.

- What the hell now?

I don't know. It just died.

Figure it out. We got two more stops

before quitting time. You, come here.

- Hello?

- Neale?

- Scrap that there.

- Uh, h-hello.

Hi. It's Leora.

- Hi, Leora.

- Did I catch you at a bad time?

No, no, no, no. It's perfect.

Perfect. I'm good.

- How are you?

- Good. Listen.

I told Roy about you.

He'd like to have you come in...

- tomorrow, say around 9:00?

- What's happening there, Dennis?

Uh, tomorrow would be great.

Yeah, sure.

- Just bleed the line!

- That would be good.

Okay. Uh, you know where we are?

- K.Y.O.L.

- I'm sure I can find you, Leora.

- Okay. Then we'll see you tomorrow.

- Right. Okay.

Bye-bye.

Thank you!

So let me get this straight.

What you're saying...

is that we're all having

a conversation with God all of the time.

- Of course.

- Can you give me an example

of what you mean by that?

Sure. Um, do you ever pick up

the phone to call someone, and

they're already on the line?

Or, uh, do you ever drive down

the road feeling as though...

nothing makes sense of your life...

and the next song on the radio

speaks directly to you?

It's as if the lyrics

were written specifically for you...

and suddenly everything

falls into perspective.

Or, um- Or what about

when someone enters your life...

seemingly from nowhere,

and you wonder why they are there...

and then one day

it all makes sense...

and you wonder how you ever

got along without them?

Of course.

We've all had those moments.

That is God.

Well, it happened to him.

It can happen to you.

- Is happening to you- and you.

- I stand corrected.

We'll be right back

with Neale Donald Walsch...

and his book Conversations With God.

I knew I had something

back there that would work.

Great.

And, uh, thanks for- thanks for

cleaning up- the shirt as well.

I'm gonna look employable.

It's only fear.

That's easy for you to say.

You're not the one going back out there.

What if it doesn't work?

What if it does?

Neale, you're afraid...

to give up the very thing in yourself

that brought you here in the first place.

Give up?

I'm running on empty.

And that's why you're here.

Uh, well, no. I'm here because-

because I lost my job.

You're here

because you lost yourself.

Well, right now I just want

to get this job.

You will.

You're ready for that now.

This is your opportunity

to experience real love.

What did you have in mind?

For you to be a man.

A real man, Neale.

Not a predator.

How many women is it going to take?

How far do you need to fall

before you realize that your behavior...

is an attempt to destroy yourself?

Heal that...

and you'll be free.

Come here, Neale.

Let's have a look at you.

Come here.

Didn't I tell you

she was some miracle worker?

So how'd it go?

I don't know.

Son, we've been trying to get a look

inside her trailer for years.

How is it?

- It's good.

- She make your head spin?

She made his head spin.

- How we doing on time? Fitch, you with us?

- Yeah. Yeah.

Neale.

We know, uh,

what a big deal this is for you.

Help you with the bus fare.

And you got enough time

to get a hot breakfast too.

Maybe some bacon, eggs,

pancakes with syrup.

And toast. Don't forget the toast.

And some jelly.

Grape if they have it. And some biscuits.

Maybe some biscuits with-

You eating this breakfast, or is he?

- Guys? Thanks.

- Go on now.

Yeah, go on, Neale.

- My man is stepping up.

- Yeah.

Funny, huh?

What's the big deal if someone wants

to look at your watch, right?

Hey, have we met before?

Uh, uh- No, I don't think so.

- I'm Carly.

- Hi.

Uh, "You come here often?"

- Name's Neale.

- Neale.

I'm kidding, of course, because if you had,

I would have seen you, right?

I'm like a fixture on this bus.

Whew. That's me.

You'd think one of these days

I would buy a car.

Nope.

I love people too much.

I'm a receptionist. I work for

a construction company up in Medford.
