Yeah.

- Does that hurt?

- It's okay.

Have you ever done this before?

No.

But sometimes you gotta put things out

just to get things done, you know?

Mm-hmm.

You're gonna be fine.

Hey, thanks.

No problem.

Hey, you mind if I use your phone?

Hey, babe.

Sorry I missed you,

and I do miss you,

but I'm gonna be

another day or two, so...

I love you. Okay.

I'll talk to you later. Bye.

How you doing, Cheaver?

I'm okay.

Yeah, you gotta give us those pills.

We're not gonna let you off yourself.

If you kill yourself, Cheaver,

do you know where you go?

Hell?

Worse.

The Lake of Fire.

Lake of Fire?

Yeah.

You don't want to go there.

I feel like I'm in it.

Hello.

Theodore?

Yeah.

I think it's your girlfriend.

Hey, baby. How are you?

No. No.

No, the other guy got shot in the leg.

He's the one whose wife left him,

so we're driving him to Salt Lake City,

and then I'm going right home.

Okay, babe?

No, I'm with two guys.

All right. Well, let...

Let me call you back, okay?

I love you, too, baby.

Okay. All right. Bye.

Oh, my Lord. You're one good liar.

You know that?

But just so you know,

that's not a good thing.

That just makes you a big phony.

Well, most of what I said was true.

Except you forgot the part

about the tittie bars.

That's 'cause I'm not going

to a tittie bar.

Seems to me if you can't tell

your soul mate the truth,

then maybe she's not

really your soul mate.

I didn't say she was my soul mate.

If Randy lied to me...

I'd take that guitar,

and I would bust it over his head

and the damn lap dancers, too.

There's no lap dancer!

Okay, so tell her the truth.

Why can't you just tell her the truth?

Forget it. Just...

I don't get it.

What's the big problem?

- The big problem?

- Yeah.

Is that I got wounded in the dick.

That's the big problem.

What?

But I thought you said...

Yeah, and it doesn't work.

I can't get it up.

Okay? You happy?

No.

Why are you going to Vegas?

I got the name of a place in Vegas

where they got real pros,

and I'm gonna see if they can get me hard.

Hookers?

No. High-end girls who know

how to handle special cases.

Why don't you let your fiance do it?

Because she doesn't know

where I'm wounded.

She's not gonna be interested

if she knows I'm not working right.

- No. You don't know that.

- Yeah, I do know that.

You gotta give her a chance.

If it's not working,

she and I got nothing to talk about.

Well...

even if it doesn't work,

you can still pleasure her.

That's true.

Yep. He can do threesomes.

With another girl.

No, another guy.

The guy does it with T.K.'s fiance

while T.K. watches.

- Just...

- Colee...

Or you can use a vibrator.

They make 'em real lifelike these days.

You can even strap it on,

or, you know, they can put

this thing inside your penis.

It's like a balloon, and all you gotta do

is just pump it, pump it up.

- Colee?

- Yeah?

Enough.

Well, it's just about

how much you love her.

Rent-a-car folks gave me

the go-ahead, so I can do it.

But there are about five jobs ahead of you.

- Sh*t.

- All right.

So, what are you doing after Vegas?

Gonna go see your mom or...

I haven't spoke to my mom

in three years.

No?

Why not?

She kicked me out

of the house when I was 16.

Wanted to spend more alone time

with her boyfriend.

The only people

I really want to talk to now

are Randy's family.

I'm gonna stay with them from now on.

Well, you can use my phone,

tell them we're running late.

No, that's okay.

They don't even know I'm coming.

They don't?

Nope.

You know that family

Colee's bringing the guitar to?

She thinks she's gonna live with them.

They're gonna be her family.

That girl's living in a dream world.

Plus she's got no skills.

Thanks.

Looks good.

Where's Colee?

I don't know.

- That girl you were with?

- Yeah.

I think she went across

the street to the church.

Can I help you?

We're just looking for someone.

Are you friends of Colee?

- Yeah.

- She told me to look out for you.

Just come this way.

He stopped me and then he said,

"What do you do?

"What do I do?"

"What business are you in?"

And it's funny 'cause I always say,

"Well, I'm in the love business."

And don't you know the Lord himself

is chairman of the board

of this love business.

Think about it.

He is, isn't he?

And so then, you've got to ask yourself,

don't you want to be

in business with the Lord?

Hey! Come on in.

I know I sure do.

'Cause the Lord takes responsibility

even when you make mistakes,

doesn't he?

He's really good, isn't he?

That's what I call a good C.E.O.

Now, in the spirit of our Lord,

who died for our sins,

let's reach out to each other

with a greeting of peace.

Peace be with you.

- We should get out of here.

- Yeah, I know.

Peace be with you.

Now remember the folks behind you, too.

- Don't be shy.

- Peace be with you.

And if any of you are troubled,

I encourage you to speak out.

Testify.

I'm hoping you can pray for us.

We're soldiers home on leave,

and my friends here are troubled.

Cheaver has a very bad back

and a broken marriage

and he wants to take his own life.

And T.K.'s wounded

in the private parts,

which is why he's lying to his fiance

about going to whores.

Thank you, sister.

Lord, bring your healing touch

to Sister Margaret's arthritis...

and give her daughter strength and faith

in the final days of her pregnancy.

In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

And be sure to say a prayer...

Please stand, sir.

Get up.

It's your turn.

Lord, help these soldiers,

who have given so much for this country.

Ease the burden of pain

from Brother Cheaver's back

and heal his broken spirit.

Amen.

And for Brother T.K., make his wounded...

whole again.

Amen.

You soldiers from Kansas City?

No, sir.

We're just passing through.

Well, I hope you're hungry.

We're having quite a shindig tonight.

Happens to be my birthday.

Happy Birthday.

That's very nice of you but...

I'm Stan Tilson, and you don't need

to be polite about it.

I want you folks to come and that's it.

We don't have time for this.

Well, you can't say no

to that kind of invitation.

Half of healing is fellowship.

We'll have a quick bite

and be on our way.

Ah, welcome, welcome.

Now, we don't start for a little while,

but you folks make yourselves

right at home.

What are those?

Lobster.

Big lobster.

- Ask her for umbrellas.

- How many chairs do we need?

I've got five set up here,

so I need to get a few more.

Give me a hand right here.

This guy's got some serious dough.

Happy Birthday.

Would you care for some stuffed endive?

No, thank you.

It really is. The place looks fabulous.

I work for my dad.

I work in commodities.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Cool. Yeah, my dad's a drill instructor.

Yeah, I got a brother stationed in Korea

and another brother

who's in basic training.

So your whole family's in the Army?

Yeah. I mean, just about.

You know, my mom's not.

Our whole family is in finance.
