Matthew 18 Page #2
go to the doctor.
Sounds like a
med student to me.
On your knees or on your feet,
when it's your time to go,
you are going.
that he was fit as a bird.
The next week,
he dropped dead.
The doctor told
missionary Hamlin, that
she'd be dead in a month.
She went home,
got on her knees
and haven't been
to the doctor since.
That's right.
And that was just
eight years ago.
Doctors to this day
can't explain that.
That's so true.
In this world,
there is good
and there is evil.
Oh, yes.
There are things that
can be explained...
Mmm-hmm.
...and there's things
that cannot.
That's right.
But there are signs.
and the old shall see visions.
Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
Well, I believe that in time,
science will have an explanation
for everything.
Almost does, just about.
I'll agree with you on that,
just about.
But there are some things
in the spiritual world,
that's beyond our ability
to comprehend.
That is right.
As granddad used to say,
if it's something you
don't understand,
it's healthier if
you leave it alone.
Oh, that's right!
And why is that?
Girl, I don't know.
Go ask your great grandpa
when you see him yourself.
See, that's my point.
We've been told things
for generations and we just
believe them without question.
How long did we believe that
the Earth was flat?
Without question?
We were just scared to go
and travel, because we thought
we were gonna fall off
the edge of the Earth.
I'm just saying,
ignorance will hold you on fear.
Listen
to the philosopher.
This philosopher
will live and learn.
Let's get this table finished.
Hmm. All right.
- Oh, my God!
- What?
I thought she was
through with him.
I did too.
What do you want?
So today's the day, huh?
I thought you knew.
Look, I know we've had
our problems, Michelle, but...
Nathan, just don't even
go there, okay?
All right, well,
all I'm trying to say is
I'm proud of you,
I still think of you as my girl
and when you come back,
I'm gonna be waiting.
Is that so?
Yeah, right, Nathan.
Okay, whatever.
You gonna let me write to you?
Yeah and call if you want.
You gonna give me
your number and address?
I'll give it to you
when I get there.
You know I'm gonna
miss you, right?
I don't know if I believe that.
Anyways, I gotta go.
All right. Can I get a hug?
I'll give it to you
when I get back.
Move, dog, move!
Move, move.
Oh, my God!
What the...
Are you okay?
That crazy dog almost killed me.
- Where did he...
Are you okay?
- I don't know. No...
It must have sensed fear,
because I thought someone
was following me and then
I see him and I don't know.
I was just like what the...
He can't...
Was there someone following you?
No, I didn't see anyone but...
God! That was crazy!
Are you okay?
Oh, my God!
I'm getting there...
You need anything?
Yes, for you to step away
and give us a minute.
Is that okay?
Okay.
Wow. Who hired her?
That's the owner's daughter.
- Oh, okay.
- Mmm-hmm.
So how's my girl?
We haven't talked in a while.
Good. Really good.
Preparing for my exodus
out of here.
Still hell bent on
going away to school, huh?
Hell bound, if my parents tell.
No, you'll be fine.
Your parents, like me,
your best friend,
just wants you near by.
But you seem so determined
to get out of here
or get somewhere.
India, we've talked
about this, okay?
I just have this
strong desire
to go away for college.
Just been under
my parent's tutelage
I mean, I love them, yes,
and they do a strong system
of beliefs that I do respect,
but I just need to step out
of their world,
and just follow my own emerging
principles and convictions.
And just see things different.
You are different.
So smart and headstrong.
To them, you're their angel.
Your parents are so protective
of you, everybody is.
Even I'm that way towards you.
If that dog would have come
through that door, I would have
killed it without hesitation.
Anybody else, bite him.
I don't care, bite him.
Listen, Michelle,
you can study philosophy
and belief systems
the world over,
and all the knowledge that
pretty head of yours can contain
but at the end of the day,
it's about family
and loved ones.
"Give me my flowers
while I yet live,"
the spiritual says.
Aw.
I'll do it for you.
Even the dead are real.
Excuse me?
I don't know.
Figure it out.
Okay, grandpa,
let's get you propped up.
Oh, you're so cold.
Hmm.
Hi. Welcome aboard.
I'm Melissa and I'm gonna
be your flight attendant.
Hi, Melissa, I'm Michelle.
Is this your
first flight, Michelle?
No. I actually travel
a lot with family.
You know, vacations and stuff.
Oh, let me guess.
You're going to Minneapolis
to attend college.
How'd you know?
Girl, when you've been flying
for as long as I have,
you just know.
Besides, why would a young lady
like you be traveling
with a backpack at
this time of the year?
It ain't to meet Romeo.
No. You ever been
to Minneapolis?
Oh, name a place that
I haven't been to.
But it's a nice place.
It's a good city.
the mall.
So, what college are
you going to?
The University of Minnesota.
Oh, that's a great school.
Have you picked out a major yet?
Pre-med.
What? I bet your parents grin
ear to ear every time
your name is mentioned.
Yeah, they're pretty proud.
They're pretty proud.
Well, Michelle, sit back
and enjoy the trip.
And if you need anything,
just hit that button up there.
All right. Thanks.
- Thanks. Bye.
- Yup.
- Hey!
- New kid in town, huh?
Yeah. Just got in.
- Yeah?
- I'm Michelle.
Lifton Tyler.
Nice to meet you.
Pleasure's all mine.
So you stay here?
I just moved here
about four days ago.
- Oh, you just moved in too.
- Yeah.
How do you like it so far?
It's good. I mean...
There's an old lady in there
who refuses to die.
Think she was here when...
But you know.
Oh, where are my manners?
I guess my wife got that
in settlement. Let me help you.
- Thank you.
- Oh, yeah.
Let me help you with this.
So where are you from?
Washington D.C.
Oh, the big city.
The big city.
You know the black guy there
who was the President?
Yeah.
That's what I say. "Yeah?"
- I'm like, "yeah"
- New kid...
Oh. So, you're the
Jamieson kid, huh?
Yeah, hi. How are you?
Your family and mine go back
a very long way.
Yes. So I've heard.
So, did you know that
it took a lot of convincing me
to allow you to come
and stay here?
But I do understand the
importance of one's education.
Even though you're
entitled to stay here,
that does not mean
that you will just
move into my place,
and destroy it.
First things first,
you can see I've worked
very hard
to maintain the place.
And I'll have no one tenant
or heir destroying it.
Mmm-hmm.
Now, there will be no drugs,
- no drinking, no smoking...
