and to the Son...

- and to the Holy Ghost...

- How could you make me hate you so much?

as it was in the beginning,

is now and ever shall be...

- I hate you so much.

- world without end. Amen.

- Look at me.

- I want you to be beautiful.

I always wanted to be pretty.

Listen to me.

I want you to be beautiful.

- I want you to be beautiful.

- No.

You know me.

I know you.

- Baby...

- You did something bad.

I know you.

Hail Mary, full of grace,

the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women and

blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

pray for us sinners...

- I know it. I know you.

I know you. I know you.

Oh, wow.

Glory be to the Father

and to the Son...

We're all aglow, man!

Look at this! We're all aglow!

Glow! Glow!

We're all aglow!

Where's your junk?

- I don't know if I like you.

- I like you.

But I like you.

Don't you dare.

Don't you dare!

I can feel the outside.

I can feel the outside,

but I can't...

I can't feel the inside.

Okay?

Don't stop!

I'm dying!

I'm gonna die!

I'm gonna die!

I'm dead. I'm dead.

Do you understand?

Mary love the lamb...

Mary love the...

Oh, dear God!

Please help me!

- You never thought about me.

- I believe in God, the Father Almighty...

Why did you leave like that?

- Everybody else, but not you.

- He descended into hell.

- And not me.

- The third day, He arose again...

...hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done...

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses...

as we forgive...

You're such a fool, mother,

and I hate you so much.

We've done it. We've done it.

We're rich, Wyatt.

Yeah, man.

We did it, man.

We did it. We did it.

We're rich, man.

We're retired in Florida now,

mister.

You know, Billy...

we blew it.

What?

That's what it's all about.

I mean, like, you know.

You go for the big money, man,

and then you're free.

You dig?

We blew it.

Good night, man.

Darkness at the break of noon

Shadows even the silver spoon

The handmade blade, the child's balloon

Eclipses both the sun and moon

To understand you know too soon

There is no sense in tryin'

Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn

Suicide remarks are torn

From the fool's gold mouthpiece

The hollow horn plays wasted words

Prove to warn

That he not busy bein' born

Is busy dyin'

Temptation's page flies out the door

You follow, find yourself at war

Watch waterfalls of pity roar

You feel to moan but unlike before

You discover that you'd just be

one more person cryin'

So don't fear

When you hear

A foreign sound to your ear

It's all right, Ma

I'm only sighin'

Hey, Arnold,

look at them two.

Pull alongside.

We'll scare the hell out of 'em.

Want me to blow your brains out?

Why don't you get a haircut?

What happened?

Billy!

Oh, my God.

- I'm going for help.

- I'm gonna get 'em.

We better go back.

I'm gonna get 'em.

We're ready now.

The river flows

It flows to the sea

Wherever that river goes

That's where I want to be

Flow, river, flow

Let your waters wash down

Take me from this road

To some other town

All he wanted was to be free

And that's the way

it turned out to be

Flow, river, flow

Let your waters wash down

Take me from this road

To some other town

Go, river, go

Past the shaded tree

Flow, river, flow

Flow to the sea

Flow, river, flow

Flow

To the sea
