Machine Gun Preacher Page #8

(GUN CLICKING)

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Yeah?

I remember my parents

when I sleep.

My father was big like you.

They shot him.

The rebels gave me a club.

And told me...

if I did not kill my mother,

they'll shoot my brother and me.

And so I killed my mother.

If we allow ourselves

to be full of hate...

then they've won.

We must not let them

take our hearts.

(SAM SIGHS HEAVILY)

(CHILDREN SHOUTING)

(PHONE RINGING)

Baby, can you get that?

- Hello?

- Bug? You there?

Dad?

Yeah, it's me.

Are you okay?

I'm thinking of a tree.

You said tree, I'm

thinking of a knee.

You said knee...

I'm thinking of a bee.

I love you, bug.

(SOBBING) I love you too, Dad.

And I want Britney

Spears bringing me these

(SPEAKS LOCAL LANGUAGE)

And I want Christmas

that lasts, lasts, lasts

You like that?

Every night we pray to Jesus

For all the things we want

That's my daughter.

To make our wishes come true

Sam.

- What's going on?

- An IRA unit has been spotted.

They are moving north

across the border.

What are we waiting for then?

Gotta go.

(MAN SPEAKING ARABIC ON RADIO)

(DENG SPEAKING ARABIC)

(MAN SPEAKING)

The village outside of Akot says an

IRA caravan came through an hour ago.

(MEN SHOUTING)

Come on.

Come on.

(GIRL WEEPING)

(ENGINE HISSING)

(SPEAKS LOCAL LANGUAGE)

- [SOLDIER]:
Come on. Come on.

- [SAM]:
Push in, everybody.

There you go.

Sam. We cannot make them work.

This is the only one we have.

Okay, watch your hand.

Keep your eyes peeled.

That road back there might still be hot.

So, be ready.

What about you, Preacher?

We're staying.

Go on, get out of here.

(THE KEEPER PLAYING)

(GUN FIRING)

For me to sit here and give all

kinds of excuses to make it right,

I can't do.

But what I wanna ask

everyone out there,

everyone that has a child,

everyone that has a brother or a sister,

if your child or your family

member was abducted today,

if a... if a madman came in,

a terrorist came in,

abducted your family

member, or your child,

and if I said to you,

"I can bring your child home,"

does it matter

how bring him home?
