The Case for Christ Page #11

---

What do I... What's-what's the

protocol for, uh... for that?

There's no wrong way

or right way.

Just... you.

- You talk to God.

- Mm-hmm.

You tell Him your heart.

Mm-hmm.

A-And we do that right now?

I mean, shouldn't we go

to church or...?

- Mm-mm. Mm-mm.

- (Lee chuckling)

Right here, right now.

- This is church.

- Okay.

Come here.

(sighs heavily)

(sniffles)

God, um...

Mm...

I have no idea what I'm doing.

(chuckles softly)

But I cannot ignore

the evidence.

And I don't know everything.

Uh, I- | never will know

everything.

Um, but I...

I know enough.

And I believe it.

And I'm sorry for what I've...

what I've put my wife through,

um, for what I put

my family through, uh...

But I believe You're real,

and I don't know

what comes next.

I don't know...

I don't know what it means.

I just know that I want...

I want that.

I want...

I want whatever's next.

Um...

So let's do that.

Amen.

(sniffles)

Amen.

LESLIE:

Thank you.

(sniffles)

I guess I'm crazy, too.

(chuckles)

Pitching him today.

Don't blow it.

Watch this.

(knock at door)

I got a pitch for you.

(Dubois grunts)

Well, that didn't last long.

Piece of junk.

You hear about Hicks?

Released from the hospital.

No longer a resident

of Crook County Jail.

I did.

That's great news.

Mm.

(rustling)

(chuckles)

Come on, this is a joke, right?

No. No, it's not.

I-I-I-I want to do

a first-person

feature story, okay?

An odyssey.

Uh, one man's journey

from skepticism to faith.

Forget it, Lee.

(laughing):

I mean...

good for you, I guess, but...

we can't publish

something like this.

We'd lose all credibility.

So would you.

I really wish

that you would reconsider.

Stick to what you know, Lee.

Go on, now.

Get out of here.

Not until you've

at least heard me out.

- ALISON:
Hi, Daddy.

- LEE:
Hey, you. How are you?

ALISON:

Good.

- LESLIE:
Hi.

- LEE:
Hi.

- 30?

- (Lee sighs)

Dubois said no.

- He did?

- Yeah.

- LESLIE:
Oh, no. Sorry, hon.

- ALISON:
I did it! I did it!

LEE:

What did you did?

ALISON:

I can finally reach the faucet.

- LEE:
Oh, my Lord.

- ALISON:
I'm tall enough now.

LEE:
Look at you!

You're a big girl now.

Oh, no, you need to stop that.

That means you're growing up.

You're not our little girl

anymore.

It's not that big

of a deal, Daddy.

I think it's a big deal.

Hey, how 'bout a book?

A What?

Instead of an article,

how 'bout a book?

LEE:

What do you think about that?

- ALISON:
Yeah! Definitely!

- LEE:
Yeah?

(Lee chuckles)

'Cause I have seen

Heaven's door is open to me

And I have shook

to the bones

And I've seen your face

As I lay on the floor

And I have cried

And I have sought

Like a beggar in my soul

Like a beggar in the world

Just to find you, Lord

'Cause, Lord, I believe

Help me believe

Lord, I can see

But I still

can't see clearly

Lord, I believe

Would you help me believe

'Cause I want it so bad

'Cause I want it so bad...

'Cause I want it so bad

Like a beggar in my soul

Like a beggar in the world

Just to find you, Lord

'Cause, Lord, I believe

Help me believe

Lord, I can see

But I still

can't see clearly

Lord, I believe

Would you help me believe

'Cause I want it so bad

Yeah, ah

Oh, oh

Yeah, ah

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Yeah, ah

Oh, oh

'Cause I want it so bad

'Cause I want it so bad...

'Cause I want it so bad

Like a beggar in my soul

Like a beggar in the world

Just to find you, Lord.

(song ends)
