The Carpenter's Miracle Page #4

---

Yeah.

So...

Pretty strange

about Josh Camden, huh?

Yeah.

Yeah, and from what I hear,

the miracles just keep coming.

There's more?

Well, I wasn't there,

so I don't really know,

but I was told that he cured

Lydia Jerginson's arthritis.

You're kidding.

No.

Apparently, from

what I was told,

he touched her just

like he did the Quinn boy,

and, presto.

Wow.

That seems...

Highly unusual.

Yeah, it does, but...

It's also highly unusual

to see a kid

come back from the dead,

but we saw that.

Didn't we?

No question about it.

Yeah.

Do you believe in miracles?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Um, well, actually

I was just on my way to work.

Sure. Yeah.

I just wanted to say hi.

I'm glad you did.

Okay.

It's good to see you.

- Nice to see you, too.

- Yeah. Thanks for stopping.

Yes.

Yeah. Have a great day.

Okay, bye.

Hold on, hold on!

Just...

Alice, I was just wondering...

Could I get you number?

Uh...

Call me!

That's why I got your number!

What's the boy's name again?

Luther Froebler.

Froebler.

That's it.

Here? This is a dead end.

Actually, this is the place.

No, it's a dead end.

There's a locked gate there.

What are you going to do,

crash through the gate?

No. That's his place.

Well, how are we...

where's the driveway?

There is no driveway.

Hi!

Up here! Hello!

Hello!

Yeah, hi!

Okay.

I built you guys

a little bridge!

Watch the puddle!

Just one sec.

Great.

Let's just do this.

You should have

stepped on the bridge.

You just stepped in some...

I don't know what that was.

I don't care what I stepped in.

Yeah, but, I mean...

You should have better shoes!

What?

Bett... never... better shoes...

I can't hear you, sorry!

You're pretty quick

in them heels.

I'm Delia tynan

we spoke on the phone.

Luther.

Hey, uh, what's up?

You should start rolling.

Toby!

Yeah, watch your...

Toby!

Toby!

Easy.

Toby? Toby!

So, Luther, how exactly

did Josh cure your dog?

What's his name?

Uh, Toby.

It was real mysterious.

Uh, Josh just closed his eyes,

and then, um, said a prayer,

and then when I got home,

the dog was healed.

That's fascinating.

Toby!

Toby!

Uh, this is Delia tynan

reporting

from Luther Froebler's home,

and we are looking right now

for the dog Toby,

who has been healed

from his limp.

We're still looking for...

Toby!

Toby!

There he is there.

Oh!

Boy, come here.

Come here.

Ah... there he is.

Uh, Luther, could you

make Toby run for us?

Y-yes, ma'am.

Toby! Fetch!

Uh... um...

See? He's all healed.

Um, Luther,

the dog is still limping.

Well, it was worse...

it was a little worse before.

It is a miracle, though.

Luther, why don't you call me

when the dog starts

speaking in tongues?

But dogs don't speak

in tongues...

exactly!

Well, there you go,

Luther. Bye!

Thanks so much for your time.

See you, Luther.

Are we gonna be on TV?

What do you think?

Meh.

Thanks.

If you don't want

my opinion, don't ask.

Well, what's wrong with it?

I don't know, it's cut funny.

It makes your hips

look big or something.

- But not fat.

- Thank you.

Maybe the red dress?

Oh, God, that's him.

They don't look bigger!

You look fine. Really.

Really, really?

Really, really.

He's early again.

God, what is it with this guy?

Maybe he's desperate.

That's a real morale booster.

Coming!

Coming...

You certainly are punctu...

hi.

Oh, sorry.

I thought you were someone else.

Yes, I'm, uh...

Delia tynan, I know.

I recognize you

from that quintuplets show.

Sextuplets, but who's counting?

Anyways, um,

could I talk to you

for a few minutes?

You know,

now's not a good time.

Oh, um, well,

when would be a good time?

Because I'd love to...

what are you doing here?

You two know each other?

She wants to interview me,

or, us, actually.

Well, it's more

of an in-depth interview.

Okay, well,

I'll talk to Sarah about it,

but, honestly,

I really don't know.

We should get going.

Our reservation's at 7:00.

Okay, sure.

Oh, are you two, um,

going on a date?

I will let you know

about the interview.

Okay. Excuse me.

Sure, but would you...

why didn't you

warn me she was coming?

I had no idea myself.

Well, I just don't like

having reporters

show up unannounced

on my doorstep.

And I completely

understand that.

I'm sorry.

I'm just a bit on edge, I guess.

I just wish everything

could go back to normal,

like before.

You and me both.

I'm not quite ready to be

the new messiah.

Yeah, must be a lot pressure.

Just can't get that walking

on water thing down.

Well, practice makes perfect.

Uh...

So it's almost 7:00.

Where are we going?

Bowling, actually.

Bowling?

I thought you said we had

a reservation somewhere.

I said that to get rid of her.

Nice.

It's half off pizza

tonight at rev's

if you bowl three games.

I'm a terrible bowler.

I'm not.

There's beer in the fridge,

or you could turn some water

into wine, if you'd prefer.

Beer is fine, thank you.

Hey, Jack.

Ah, she lives.

Have you located

our miracle-worker?

Got him, and get this,

he lives in a church.

What is he, a religious nut?

No, no,

apparently, he's under

financial stress.

His mother's ill...

rye and ginger, please.

On the rocks.

So, he's living in an old

abandoned methodist church

on the cheap.

He gets to live in it

while he's restoring it.

Any dirt?

No, he's clean as a choirboy.

Everybody here thinks

he walks on water,

good.

So why have you been so hard

to get a hold of?

You know what, Jack,

it's terrible reception

out here.

A word of warning.

Gil Graham's in Bethany.

Keynote is looking

to do a segment.

Competition

doesn't frighten me.

Well, I don't want to be

the one to tell the chairman

that this story

slipped through our fingers.

I want you to

lock this guy down.

I have him locked down, Jack.

Well, not yet. Apparently,

he's got an exclusive

about some kid

whose dog was cured

by our miracle worker.

Yeah, no story there.

The dog's a gimp.

I got it on tape.

Listen, Jack, trust me.

You're going to get

a great story, okay?

Good.

But what about

that unconfirmed report

about our fellow curing

some woman's arthritis.

What's that about?

I've got to go.

I'm closing in.

Whoa. Wait...

Okay.

I don't really have

any memories of my dad.

He died when I was about two.

And your mother

never remarried?

No, no, it's just been

the two of us.

And you've lived here

ever since?

Yeah, I worked

for a while in Florida,

but that didn't last very long.

I missed the midwest.

You are... A very good bowler.

Well, I was junior league's

highest scorer.

Why do you think I suggested

that we go there tonight?

You know, you'll never beat me,

even if you could bowl.

Wow.

I'd love to get

out of the midwest.

I've never even been to Canada.

We can go to Canada tonight.

Yeah, I'm game.

Seriously, we could...

Talk about serendipity!

I was just on the phone

with my boss in New York

talking about meeting you both.
