Ready for the big vote?

Hmmm...

You got a prediction?

You're a goner.

(LAUGHS)

Ah...

Hey...

So, I got you a present,

but I kinda wanted to give

it to you in private...

Oh, OK.

- All right.

- OK.

The best that he can be

at what he wants to do...

And that's what I agree to.

I think that wives

in our positions...

Happy birthday.

Oh, my gosh, oh,

my gosh, oh, my gosh...

Oh, my gosh...

Do you like it?

I love it...

I love this.

- I love it.

- Yeah?

Thank you. I...

Good.

I just... wanted to do

somethin' special for you.

- Wow, thank you.

- You're welcome.

You didn't have to do this.

I know I didn't.

Wow...

I'm glad you like it.

I do. I really like it.

Thanks.

Don't, uh... Don't forget

the little people.

LITTLE GIRL:
Wait up, Matthew!

Oh, hey.

Hello there.

I was just lookin'

for the bathroom.

Oh, I think it's, um...

Thanks.

Hey, you know, we should...

get together some time.

Go and get coffee or

something, maybe.

- Yeah, sure totally.

- Yeah?

That'd be great.

Maybe we could do a

double date or something.

Oh yeah, that sounds like a blast.

I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry.

- It's OK.

You OK?

Actually, could...

Could you pray for me real quick?

Um...

Hey.

Yeah, sure, totally.

Maybe we could just duck in there.

(KIDS TALKING)

- Hey.

- Hey.

You OK?

Yeah.

Lotta people.

Yeah.

Happy birthday, man.

Lord...

I just ask that you whisper

words of peace and comfort

into your child Elizabeth's ears.

Hold her close and help her

to know that she's loved.

In Your name I pray, Amen.

Amen.

Thank you.

Sure... Sure.

I should go.

Yeah.

OK, uh... OK.

What?

Yeah.

(DANCE MUSIC PLAYS)

Hey.

Hey... How you doin'?

Good. How are you?

Good, good.

You wanna?

Hmmm.

Hmmm?

- Huh uh.

- Huh uh?

No.

You sure?

Uh huh.

That would be...

He could get his Masters in Dance.

Hi.

So how long have

y'all been married?

Goin' on about eight years.

Wow, y'all were young!

Were we?

I mean, yeah.

Not that there's anything

wrong with that.

I love marriage...

If you know what I mean.

Shall we?

Mornin', guys. How we doin'?

Hey, how are ya?

Easy as pie.

We'll do the service, I'll ask you

and Erin to leave, and we'll vote.

Sounds good.

Easy... as... pie.

You all right there, buddy?

Relax, OK? You've got this.

But thanks be to God,

who in Christ always leads

us in triumphal procession.

And through us spreads

in every place

the fragrance that comes

from knowing Him.

For we are the aroma of Christ to God

among those who are being saved,

and among those who are perishing.

To the one, a fragrance

from death to death,

and to the other, a fragrance

from life to life.

Who is sufficient for these things?

For we are not peddlers of

God's word, like so many.

But in Christ we speak

as persons of sincerity.

As persons sent from God and

standing in His presence.

All right, before I call our

business conference to order

I'd just like to ask if Dylan and

Erin wouldn't mind hittin' the road.

(CHUCKLING)

I thought they were great.

I did too.

Church members are a funny bunch.

They like what they like.

I really thought they

were gonna go for 'em.

Brea, you wanna do the blessing?

You want to?

Um, sure.

Let's pray.

Lord, we thank you for another

Sunday in Your presence.

We ask You to bless this

food we're about to receive

to the nourishment of our bodies.

In Your name we pray, Amen.

Amen.

Great job.

Oh, Ms. Powell forgot

the pies today.

I told her one of us

would come pick 'em up.

I'll go.

Where's Cheryl?

Oh, she's up in her room.

I don't think I've

ever been up there.

It's a dump.

Mind if I go up?

Be my guest.

She's in one of her moods, though.

I'll leave y'all's pie right there.

Whatcha readin'?

This thing.

Have a seat.

Clear off a chair if you want.

You here for the pie?

Yep.

Hey, um...

I... I never knew you

weren't a believer.

- You come up here to witness to me?

- No, I didn't come up here to witness to you.

I just...

came up to say, hey.

And, honestly...

I mean, like, what do you

think happens when you die?

I think you go wherever you were...

before you were born.

You go to where you were in 1722.

That was a good year.

Isn't it kind of sad, though?

I mean, thinkin' about not

seein' people after you die?

I suppose it is.

I mean, I've kind of been

havin' my own, um...

Thoughts.

Yeah.

Well, you know...

Do somethin' with it.

(OCEAN WAVES CRASHING)

(CHILDREN TALKING)

Get back here!

Stop it, Tim.

Sorry.

So...

Dad told me about you.

He did?

Yeah.

Wow.

I kinda hate it.

Like... I mean...

I really hate it.

I mean, I think it's sick.

Hey...

I would have liked

to tell him myself.

I'm sorry. He asked. I didn't...

- He asked?

- Yes.

He, uh...

What?

He found some stuff

on your computer.

I guess he was...

Wow.

Yeah, so, you're gonna need

to give him some time.

He's gonna need some time.

How long?

Well, quite a bit, I expect.

He's 13 years old, son,

what's he supposed to need?

Brea, I need to get out...

Um, out... badly.

Let's, uh...

What should we do?

Yeah?

You think we can get wine?

Do you see anyone?

Nope.

- Happy Anniversary.

- Happy Anniversary.

(GLASSES CLINK)

Mmm.

Good, right?

Yeah, very good.

This is nice.

(CAR RADIO PLAYS UPBEAT MUSIC)

(CHUCKLING)

Oh, wait.

We have to swing by

somewhere first.

(ALL CHATTERING)

She puts on her favorite coat

As I watch her through

a kaleidoscope

The whole world has changed...

Let's take the shoes off.

We should just...

You know what we should do?

What should we do?

We should just...

Just go to like, just any state.

Any state.

Just go. Just snap our things...

(BOTH LAUGHING)

How are you?

What?

How are you?

I'm good. How are you?

I'm doin' good.

Pretty well.

Get in the road and

go down the car.

Get in the car and

drive down the road.

And go somewhere and eat everything

fried, and sleep in everything fried.

You know?

We should go tonight.

We should get in the car right now.

Just get... and go to the stars.

We don't need anything.

Take the road, Jack.

Let's pack our bags and go...

And go...

- I love you.

- I love you.

Uh, I'm gonna give you my number.

Is that OK? Is that weird?

I'm just gonna...
