Saturday's Warrior Page #7

Dear Johns and the rejections...

It's all been worth it,

hasn't it?

Hasn't it?

Elder, you got to let me know

that it was worth it.

Absolutely.

We are not the ordinary

Fearlessly extraordinary

Working righteous hari- Ow!

In our humble way

Oh, that reminds me.

The reception hall called.

They said they haven't gotten

your deposit yet

and they'll need that

by tomorrow, okay?

Julie?

Peter...

I love you.

But I'm not going to marry you.

Uh, you're scared.

- No.

- That's normal.

- I'm... I'm...

- Peter, I'm sorry.

You're amazing, but... but this

just doesn't feel right.

I'm so sorry.

It all makes sense now.

Please?

Father?

What are these feelings?

God?

Are you there?

Feelings of forever

come so strong

They follow us like jewels

that light the path behind

Calendars of time

that we almost knew

That tremble in a lamp

much brighter than the sun

I recall the morning

you arose

Shining like a star

on an endless sea of sand

And the tender child

in your eyes

As the compass drew us out,

I took your hand

And now we lift the veil

and try to understand

And reach for what we were

before we were

To finally come again

back to the start

Where we began

Something's at the gate

and rushing through

Something's at the gate

and rushing through

All the rusty chains

of time can't hold it back

All the rusty chains

can't hold it back

Memories of a former life

Memories of a former life

that we knew

The feelings are

so strong and coming through

Coming through

- Coming through

- Coming through

Coming through

Feelings of forever

come so very strong

They follow us like jewels

that light the path behind

Calendars of time

that we almost knew

That tremble in a lamp

much brighter than the sun

Than the sun

Than the sun

The band just does not get it.

Anyways, um...

how's the hospital treating you?

I didn't sleep last night.

I...

Welcome to my life.

I haven't slept in days.

S-Surgery today?

Yeah.

Jimmy... maybe Mack is right.

It doesn't sound like you're

taking care of yourself.

What, so now you're against me,

too?

No.

Of course not.

I'm worried about you.

You're getting into things

that I...

Maybe you should stop living

your life through me

and worry about yourself, Pam.

Jimmy...

I know you better than anyone,

and...

Pam, not now.

I'll call you later.

Jimmy?

Denver Memorial.

Can I put you on hold

for a minute?

Everybody gonna sing, though

Starting a soul

Gonna be a revolution

- What was that?

- Whoa.

- Whoa.

- Get off my back.

I don't care what you do

in your private time,

but when it's time to play, you

better play the right chords!

Or what?

You gonna kick me out?

I am Warrior.

Oh, come on, baby.

You don't mean that. Come on.

Truth is truth, right, Jimmy?

Right.

- I want a picture!

- Jimmy!

Will you sign this?

Sign this!

Who am I?

Where am I going?

Here I sit all alone,

not knowing why

Brace me up

I'm so discouraged

Help, I think I'm gonna die

How it hurts to be a no one

How I wish

I was someone really loved

Brace me up

I'm such a failure

Heaven help me up above

Isn't there a someone

with a hand to spare?

Who can share what they have

for my hunger?

Isn't there a someone

who can take me as I am?

Take me now

I'm so alone

Brace me up

I'm slowly going under

Going under

Doubts and fears

keep coming faster

Boy, I'm headed for disaster

That's for sure

Brace me up

I'm going under

Help, somebody find a cure

Isn't there a someone

with a hand to spare?

Who can share what they have

for my hunger?

Isn't there a someone

who can take me as I am?

Take me now

I'm so alone

Brace me up

I'm slowly going under

Going under, yeah

Hello?

Is Pam there?

Jimmy?

Oh, Jimmy, I'm so sorry.

They did everything they could.

Pam.

Jimmy?

How I wonder what you are

Uh-oh!

Yes!

There it is. Like a pro.

Is this the plan you had

for your life?

Oh, yeah!

For the easy lay-up!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

- Hey, hey, hey. Jimmy.

- I'll get it!

No. It isn't.

But I won't be like this

forever.

Jimmy.

Jimmy.

Do you...

Dad.

Hey, baby boy.

Welcome home.

So you're really leaving?

You can't stay one more day?

Dad, I have a really big gig

tomorrow, and...

if I don't fly out tonight,

I'll miss it.

Can I help?

Can you, uh... look for pictures?

Dad.

I'm glad that...

Just thanks for... everything.

Jimmy, your life...

it's yours now.

Wherever you go, whatever you

do, know that we love you.

That I love you.

Think she's walking now?

No.

I think you and I both know

that girl's dancing.

Why didn't she wake up, Dad?

I don't know, Jim.

Uh, you know Mom is due

any day now, right?

Have you, uh...

thought about names?

If it's a boy, Alex.

And if it's a girl,

we're going back and forth

between Heather and Emily.

Emily.

I'd choose Emily.

Yeah?

Hey. Do you have the keys?

Hey.

Daddy.

Hey.

Do you have the keys?

Why are you so dressed up?

Kestler comes home today.

- Oh, I know.

- Oh, Jules.

I know it's horrible timing with

everything that's going on now,

and I thought about

not showing up.

But I feel like I should

at least welcome him home.

Okay, Jules, but you've got to

promise that you ca...

Honey, she's fine.

Daddy... don't worry.

I'm not getting back together

with Wally.

It's okay.

Okay?

I'm focusing on school.

Mm-hmm.

And... I'm taking a break

from dating.

- Good.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

For at least a semester.

Julie Kestler.

No.

No.

Attention, please.

Flight 608 arriving now

at Gate 9.

I can't wait.

Hey.

Hi, Julie.

It's Julie.

Julie.

Do you see him?

- Hey, Julie.

- Elder Greene!

- Hey, uh...

- Hey.

- Harold.

- Oh.

Right.

- Are you here to see Wally?

- Yeah.

Just got released

from my mission last month,

and I wouldn't miss

Wally's surprise for anything.

Surprise?

Well, with Elder Kestler,

you never really know.

Oh.

Yeah.

Hey, so, you two, you know...

Ooh. Uh, no.

No.

Just friends.

Oh.

I wouldn't really mention that

right off the bat.

Attention, please.

This is a special

paid announcement.

Returning now in great humility

and glory

from a triumphant

soul-saving mission...

- I cannot believe it.

- Oh, I can.

Let's hear it for Elder Kettle.

It's Kestler.

- Mom!

- Oh! Baby!

- Oh! How are you?

- Welcome home!

It's so good to see you.

You look great.

Dad! Dad!

Hey!

Oh!

How are you?

Oh!

Yo guys!

I mean, you look so good.

So... Greene!

- How are you? It's good to s...

- Hey, buddy!

Looking...

Julie.

You...

You came to your senses.

This is the best day of my life.

Have we...

I don't know.

You look...

The blessings

of a mission are incredible.

I mean, first Julie,

and now you guys get to...

Here. Tod.

Tod, Tod, Tod.

Hey, guys, meet my...

My first and only convert.

Tod, this is...

Do you remember Elder Greene?

So, Tod, this is my dad.

- Dad, this is Tod.

- Mr. Kestler.

- And this is my mom.

- Hi, Tod.

- Hi, Mrs. Kestler.

- Good to meet you.
