SARAH BROWN HAD:

75 WONDERFUL,

GRACE-FILLED YEARS.

I WAS DRAWN TO HER

FROM THE MOMENT I MET HER.

SHE WAS ORDAINED

AT A VERY YOUNG AGE

AND SHE HAD THIS GLOW

THAT EMANATED FROM HER

AS IF SHE'D SEEN

THE FACE OF GOD.

[VOICE TREMBLES]:

SHE WAS MY COURAGE

AND MY WISDOM.

I DON'T KNOW

WHAT I'LL DO WITHOUT HER.

[QUIET MURMURING]

[]

THANK YOU.

BYE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU.

-HEY.

-HEY.

YOU GAVE SARAH:

A WONDERFUL EULOGY.

YEAH, YOU REALLY

DID HER JUSTICE.

WE COULD REALLY TELL

HOW MUCH YOU LOVED HER.

THAT WAS...

VERY NICE.

THANK YOU.

WE COULD:

GO TO THE MOVIES.

YEAH, OR YOU CAN

COME HOME WITH ME,

AND WE COULD:

DEEP-CONDITION OUR HAIR,

OR DO SOME:

MANIS AND PEDIS?

YOU GUYS ARE SO SWEET,

BUT I THINK I JUST NEED

TO BE ALONE RIGHT NOW.

[]

GOODBYE:

GOOD FRIEND:

SEE YOU:

SOMETIME:

I CAN'T SAY WHEN

TIME WILL:

BRING US TOGETHER

AGAIN:

TILL THEN:

GOODBYE:

GOOD FRIEND:

AHH, AHH...

AHH:

AHH...

I CAN'T

SAY WHEN:

TIME WILL:

BRING US TOGETHER

AGAIN:

TILL THEN:

[DAVID]:
HELLO?

HEY, DAVID. IT'S RONNIE.

HOW ARE YOU?

I'M WELL, AND YOU?

GOOD, GOOD.

I'M ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR CASE.

I CAN'T GET HER

TO ANSWER HER PHONE.

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

[KNOCKING LOUDER]

[TAPPING ON WINDOW]

[DOORBELL CHIMING]

HEY!

HEY.

YOU OKAY?

-CASE?

-YEAH.

WHAT ARE:

YOU DOING HERE?

WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT YOU.

YOU'RE NO ANSWERING YOUR PHONE.

YOU DIDN'T TELL ME

WHAT TIME I'M SUPPOSED

TO MEET YOU TONIGHT.

YOU FORGOT?

THE FUNDRAISER.

I'M NOT GOING TO GO TO THAT.

I CAN'T.

I THINK YOU SHOULD.

I THINK... I THINK

THAT YOU HAVE TO.

SARAH WOULD BE THE FIRST ONE

TO TELL YOU--

LIFE GOES ON, CASEY.

YEAH.

THAT'S FINE.

LIFE CAN GO ON.

I JUST NEED IT TO GO ON

WITHOUT ME FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

YEAH, BUT IT DOESN'T.

I ALREADY CALLED RONNIE

AND SHE'S GONNA COME OVER

IN A COUPLE HOURS

TO HELP YOU GET READY.

I GUESS YOU GUYS DIDN'T REALLY

LEAVE ME MUCH CHOICE.

WELL, YOU CAN' STAND ME UP, HART.

[TAKES A DEEP BREATH, SIGHS]

OKAY.

YEAH?

OKAY.

OKAY.

I'LL...

I'LL MEET YOU THERE.

SEE YOU AT 7:
00.

GOOD.

[]

[BACKGROUND CHATTER]

[]

WOW. YOU LOOK AMAZING.

YOU DON'T LOOK SO BAD YOURSELF.

WE SHOULD GET YOU A DRINK.

OKAY.

WHAT'S UP?

I'M JUST THINKING.

ABOUT CHURCH:

TOMORROW?

NO.

OH, ABOUT CALI?

I WAS THINKING ABOUT YOU.

DAVID...

[WORDS CATCH]

NOT HERE.

CASEY? WHAT'S GOING ON?

UM, THERE'S SOMETHING I NEED

TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT, DAVID.

OKAY.

I DIDN'T PLAN THIS.

WE'VE BEEN FRIENDS

FOR A LONG TIME.

YES.

UH...

NO.

I WON'T TAKE ADVANTAGE

OF YOUR GRIEVING.

I KNOW THAT YOU'RE HURTING,

RIGHT NOW, CASE,

BUT THIS ISN'T THE ANSWER.

WHAT IF I WANT TO?

[SIGHS]

I DON'T THINK YOU KNOW

WHAT YOU WANT RIGHT NOW.

YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW

WHAT I WANT?

WHEN HAVE YOU EVER?

YOU THOUGHT THAT A SMALL CHURCH

WOULD SATISFY YOU,

BUT THE SECOND:

THAT THINGS GOT TOUGH,

YOU DIDN'T EVEN FIGHT,

YOU RAN AWAY.

AND THEN YOU THOUGH THAT BEING AN ASSOCIATE WAS

YOUR CALLING TO THE MINISTRY,

BUT IT TURNS OUT THA THAT'S NOT IT,

AND NOW YOU AGREE

TO THIS INTERIM THING, AND...

YOU'VE NEVER SHOWN FEELINGS

FOR ME BEFORE.

YOU'RE FLAILING, CASE.

I AM NOT FLAILING.

AND I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW,

I'M DONE WITH MY SO-CALLED

CAREER IN MINISTRY.

I'M QUITTING

AT THE END OF SUMMER.

TO DO WHAT?

GO TO LAW SCHOOL.

LAW SCHOOL?

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

YEAH.

AND WHEN WERE YOU GOING TO

TELL ME ABOUT THIS?

WHEN THE TIME WAS RIGHT.

AS IN, RIGHT BEFORE

SCHOOL STARTED?

I CAN'T BELIEVE

THAT YOU WOULD KEEP

SOMETHING LIKE THAT FROM ME.

YEAH, WELL, I KNEW

YOU WOULD JUDGE ME.

NO, YOU KNEW

THAT I WOULD TELL YOU THE TRUTH.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA

WHAT GOD WANTS FOR YOU.

YOU'RE SQUANDERING YOUR GIF AND YOU ARE LATCHING ON

TO WHATEVER'S HANDY,

HOPING THAT IT'S GONNA

MAKE YOU HAPPY.

I'M NOT WILLING

TO BE A GUY THAT IS HANDY.

WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER

WAY TOO LONG FOR THAT.

YOU MEAN TOO MUCH TO ME.

SO YOU DON'T WANT ME.

NOT LIKE THIS.

NO.

[KNOCKING]

[DOOR CREAKS OPEN]

YOU HAVE A VISITOR.

SHE SAYS:

SHE'S DAVID'S FRIEND.

HI! HI, CASEY!

CALI.

HI. THIS IS A SURPRISE.

UM, I NEED-- I NEED TO TALK

TO SOMEBODY ABOUT DAVID.

SOMEBODY:

WHO KNOWS HIM.

DO YOU MIND?

ACTUALLY, I'M REALLY BUSY

RIGHT NOW.

OH, YOU'RE JUST EATING, RIGHT?

GO AHEAD.

YOU KNOW,

IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME.

WHAT'S THIS?

THIS IS A SECURITY CAMERA.

WHAT'S ON

YOUR MIND, CALI?

UM, WELL...

DAVID BROKE UP WITH ME.

DAVID BROKE UP WITH YOU?

I-I DON'T KNOW WHY.

HE SAID IT WASN'T WORKING.

I DON'T KNOW

WHY IT WASN'T WORKING.

I MEAN, IT WAS--

IT WAS WORKING FOR ME.

I THINK MAYBE:

THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE.

I THINK THERE'S

SOMEONE ELSE.

YOU WOULD KNOW, RIGHT, CASEY,

IF THERE WAS SOMEONE?

HE HASN'T MENTIONED

SOMEONE ELSE.

WILL YOU TALK TO HIM FOR ME?

CONVINCE HIM:

WE BELONG TOGETHER?

NO, CALI.

I CAN'T BE

THE THIRD SIDE IN THIS TRIANGLE.

YOU NEED TO:

TALK TO DAVID YOURSELF.

[GASPS]

IT'S YOU.

ISN'T IT?

I KNEW IT!

YOU WANT HIM:

ALL FOR YOURSELF.

NO, CALI,

IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE.

[THUMPS TABLE]

IT IS.

SOME FRIEND:

YOU TURNED OUT TO BE.

SOME MINISTER!

CALI, I'M SO SORRY.

[PHONE RINGS]

[SIGHS]

HELLO.

PASTOR HART'S OFFICE.

[]

OLIVIA.

WHAT IN THE WORLD...

[ANGELIQUE]:

CASEY? IT'S OLIVIA.

[CASEY]:
I KNOW.

WHAT DOES SHE WANT NOW?

SOME MORE SALAD DRESSING,

OR JUST SOMEONE TO PESTER?

SHE WAS ATTACKED.

SHE'S BEEN TAKEN

TO THE HOSPITAL.

MY GOSH! WHAT HAPPENED?

SOME PUNK:

IN THE GROCERY STORE PARKING LO PUSHED HER DOWN

AND TRIED TO STEAL HER PURSE.

IS SHE STILL IN THE HOSPITAL?

IS SHE HURT BAD?

SHE'S AT HOME RESTING NOW.

HER HOUSEKEEPER:

CALLED AND ASKED

IF SOMEBODY COULD PICK UP

HER PAIN MEDS.

ALICE DOESN'T DRIVE,

SO I JUST THOUGH I'D TAKE THE CAR MYSELF.

I'LL GO.

YOU WILL?

WELL, YEAH, I MEAN,

I DON'T LIKE HER,

BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN

I HATE HER.

I CERTAINLY DON' WISH ILL ON HER.

[]

[DOORBELL CHIMES]

OH, GOOD MORNING,

PASTOR.

HI, ALICE. I BROUGH MISS TOMPKINS' PRESCRIPTIONS.

HOW'S SHE FEELING?

OH, SHE'S DOING BETTER.

SHE'S IN HER BEDROOM.

LET ME WALK YOU UP.

[]

OLIVIA?

IT'S PASTOR HART.

WELL, DON'T JUS STAND THERE.

COME IN.

[CASEY]:
HERE'S WHA THEY DON'T TELL YOU

IN DIVINITY SCHOOL.

YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE

WITH YOUR PARISHIONERS,

EVEN THE SNARKY, OBNOXIOUS ONES.

DID YOU BRING MY PAIN PILLS

OR NOT?

YEAH. THEY'RE RIGHT HERE.

[GRUMBLES]

I CAN'T TAKE THEM

WITHOUT WATER.

YOU MAY AS WELL:

MAKE YOURSELF USEFUL.

[CASEY]:
THEY DON'T TELL YOU

THOSE IMPERFECT FOLKS

SITTING IN THE PEW

WILL WORM THEIR WAY

INTO YOUR HEART.

[PILLS RATTLE]

THANK YOU.

GO DOWNSTAIRS:

AND TELL ALICE:

TO BRING UP:

MY MAGAZINES.

WE NEED TO TALK.

I'M HARDLY IN ANY CONDITION

FOR A TETE-A-TETE.

IT'S ABOU THE MISSING OFFERINGS.

THIS IS THE HARDLY THE TIME.

I THINK RIGHT NOW

IS THE PERFECT TIME.

I KNOW YOU TOOK THE MONEY.

I DON'T KNOW WHA YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

JUST WAIT UNTIL THE PERSONNEL

COMMITTEE MEETS AGAIN.

YOU SHOULD'VE RESIGNED LONG AGO,

AND NEXT TIME, I'M GOING

TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO.

YOU TOOK THE MONEY

SO IT WOULD LOOK LIKE PEOPLE

WERE PROTESTING AGAINST ME.
