The War Within Page #4

every time that l mention...

Because you treat me

like a child.

All l said was...

That you don't think

l'm a Christian.

l didn't say that.

Daddy.

Mommy.

Ellie not now.

Don't interrupt.

(Ellie)

We're back on air!

l'm Ellie Sinclair and l'm

interviewing Daddy.

Daddy, what was your favorite

thing at work today?

(Michael) Well, l drew another

Ginger Snaps cartoon.

(Ellie) About what?

(Michael) Well, do you

remember last week

when you licked the ice cream

and it fell on the floor?

(Ellie) Yes.

ln the ice cream shop?

Yes.

l drew that.

[slap]

That was based

on you little girl.

Daddy and Ellie fell asleep.

This is the cutest thing.

[clearing throat]

[television turns off]

l got on the laptop today

and your email account

was still open.

l saw that you had

an email from Ray.

Again?

Why won't you

talk to him?

lt's complicated.

l thought he was

your friend.

Chicken's good.

What's Media 1 1?

Why are you reading

my emails?

l wasn't reading

your emails.

You shouldn't be

in my email to begin with.

l'm sorry.

l just saw those two emails

and clicked off, ok?

ls it a job opportunity?

Yes.

Where?

Connecticut.

When were you going to tell

me about us moving?

We're not moving.

l am.

What are you saying?

l haven't made

a decision yet.

They haven't even officially

offered me the job yet.

But you want it?

You want to leave?

l don't know

what l want?

Why haven't you talked

to me about this?

l'm your wife?

Let's not kid

ourselves.

What's that supposed

to mean?

lt means we are more like

roommates than spouses!

And whose fault

is that?

Why did you do that?

She was asking

for it, Heart.

lt's true.

We are more

like roommates.

We haven't slept in

the same room...

Heart.

There's no use

fighting it anymore.

Fighting what?

The inevitable.

lt's over.

Don't listen

to him Heart.

Shut up Conscience.

This is what

l warned you about.

Every one of us is being

motivated by fear.

That's ridiculous.

l'm not afraid

of anything.

You?

You're the one who

fears the most.

Oh, yeah?

l'm not afraid of you,

you old bag of wind.

You want to see

some rage?

Just keep it up

Lady Justice.

l don't know what this

has to do with anything.

Wait.

Conscience is right.

Mind,

it's obvious to me

that fear has changed

your way of thinking.

So how do

we fight it?

With perfect love.

What?

Perfect love.

Love that drives a wedge

between you and your wife.

Love that steals

your dream job.

Love that buries

your child.

Mind!

Do you hear what

you're saying?

You are the one that

taught us the truth.

And now you're

believing lies.

l've had enough!

l can't stand

this anymore.

Conscience,

one more word.

Silence.

That's the word.

[suspenseful music]

[fighting sounds]

What's gotten us

to the point

that we are destroying

each other.

We chose to follow Him.

And the consequences haven't

been very good, now have they?

Mind, remember why

we followed Him.

You were convinced

by the --

(Mind)

Reason.

lt was reasonable to

believe the Word of God

because the evidence could

not be explained away.

ln the same way

it was reasonable

to focus our career

on cartooning.

That's our skill

and interest.

lt was reasonable

to marry Amy.

She is beautiful.

We have a lot in common, and

from the first time we say her

we desired to spend

our life with her.

All of our choices have

been based on reason.

And so l'm

asking you Heart.

What is the reasonable

thing for us to do?

Should we continue in

an unhappy marriage?

Following a God who took away

everything that matters to us?

Or isn't it reasonable

to give Amy her freedom

and start over

in a new place?

When was the last time

you were in there?

These vines -- our old nature,

they've corrupted Mind

and poisoned

he rest of us.

You can't fight

those three alone.

You know that

don't you?

You've become weak

and they've become strong.

Their arguments

may seem persuasive

but there's

no truth in them.

Why couldn't you find

the memory of our first love?

lt's not where it's

supposed to be, all right?

How can that be?

Someone must

have taken it.

But why?

Those three have lost

faith in God and in you.

They are afraid of the future

so they've taken over.

Heart, finding that memory

is everything.

Emotion....

He has a memory orb.

l saw it.

Will must have

put him up to it.

(Memory)

Will?

l caught him coming out

of your chamber.

He's orchestrated

all of this.

You have to

get it back.

Conscience.

Go to Will's Domain.

Make sure he hasn't

taken the memory.

Try to talk some

sense into him.

l'll take care

of Emotion.

You come

with me.

Wait.

Remember no matter what

happens to me, don't give up.

When you find it, you must

repent and return to Him.

His power will

overcome them.

[suspenseful music]

Will?

[crying]

What are you

doing here?

Uh, we've come

for the memory?

Are you lost,

Conscience?

You know

why l'm here.

You've come to join

forces with me.

Very funny.

Now give me

what l want.

You can't have it.

Why not?

Because l have

to hold on to this.

lt's all l have left.

You and Heart

have already lost.

That's not true.

The decision has

been made.

Not by all of us!

The majority rules.

l know right

from wrong.

And what you're

doing is wrong.

But it's not as black

and white as you think.

Don't make me

take it from you.

[laughing]

No, Heart.

You're too weak.

[suspenseful music]

[fighting noise]

[laughing]

Memory, focus.

[suspenseful music]

[fighting noise]

Stop it!

You leave him

alone right now.

Memory!

[yelling]

[suspenseful music]

[fighting noise]

Stop it.

Listen to me!

Don't do this!

Will, stop!

l'm helping you see

things our way.

You know this

is wrong.

[mumbling]

l want what's

best for Heart.

You must

believe that.

Don't do this.

Will...

Listen to me!

[suspenseful music]

[yelling]

[suspenseful music]

lt's not

the right one.

What?

lt has to be.

lt's not.

Show me.

Show me!

l want to go alone.

[swoosh]

(Doctor) Amy, come on.

You can do this.

We are getting

to the end.

You're doing great.

Ready and push!

Focus!

Two, Three,

Four, Five!

Great!

Great job!

You can do

this, ok?

Come on Amy!

Four, Five, Six.

[baby crying]

(Doctor) There you go.

Go, Go, Go! That's it!

Oh, it's a beautiful girll

Ellie!

[laughing]

You did it!

Oh, Ellie!

She's here!

You talking to me?

[Michael and Amy talking]

[swoosh]

[Crying]

l'm sorry.

(Conscience)

Nooooooooo!

[door opens]

Will?

Release him.

l said release him!

Conscience.

What should l do?

(Mind)

Choose reason.

Should we continue in

an unhappy marriage.

Following a God --

Who took away everything

that matters to us.

Yes... Or is it reasonable

to give Amy her freedom.

And start over.

[suspenseful music]

No! No! No!

[suspenseful music]

(Michael)

All l said was...

( Amy) That you don't

think l'm a Christian.

l didn't say that.

Daddy.

Mommy.
