- I'm Martin Bonner.

- Travis Holloway.

Good to meet you, Travis.

Thanks for picking me up.

Oh, absolutely no problem.

Sorry about the cold.

Yeah, it's a real bummer.

I've got an extra jacket in the back if you want it.

I'm fine, thanks.

Oh.

Okay. So where to?

I'd like to go to my bank.

Okay. What's your bank?

Bank of America.

Yeah, well, that's easy.

Okay. Put your seat belt on.

[ Engine Starts ]

I'm actually not your mentor.

Um, I work for SBL. I'm the volunteer coordinator.

You short on volunteers?

Oh, no.

No, you've got a mentor.

His name's Steve Helms.

No, I know.

He came to visit.

Oh, yeah. Of course.

Anyway, he couldn't be here today.

Where is he?

I don't know.

But he thought you were getting out tomorrow.

So did I.

Where are you from?

Australia.

[ Car Speakers:
Man Singing Aria ]

[ Continues ]

Order what you want.

It's on me.

I ate.

They gave me breakfast.

Okay.

[ Woman ] What can I get for you?

I'll just have a coffee.

Breakfast bagel.

Coffee, cream and sugar.

- You got it.

- Thank you.

You married?

No. Divorced.

Kids?

Yeah. Two.

Boy and girl, both grown up.

They live here?

No, they live in Maryland.

What part of Maryland?

Annapolis.

You got family in Maryland?

No, I have a buddy who lived in Baltimore.

You have family in Reno.

No.

Family anywhere?

I have a daughter in Arizona.

That's not too far.

Yeah.

How old is she?

Twenty-four.

[ Plates Clatter ]

Thanks.

That's good coffee.

Yeah?

This is a cool little place.

Yeah. Yeah.

This is my breakfast place.

You know, it's funny.

I've never been to Reno,

but technically I've lived here for 12 years.

I've never seen any of it.

So you didn't live in Reno?

No, I lived in Sacramento.

Oh.

Well, I've only been here about a month myself,

and I will say it's a place not without charm,

but I didn't think it could get this cold on the desert.

- You just moved here?

- Yeah.

From where?

Maryland.

Welcome to the neighborhood.

[ Chuckles ]

Does this look okay?

Looks fine.

Here's my card.

Um, call me if you have any problems with Mr. Helms...

or if you need to know anything else.

Thanks.

Do you want me to hang around until you get checked in?

No.

I'll be fine.

Good to meet you, Travis.

You too.

All right.

You take care.

Yeah. Thanks.

[ Travis ]

This is it.

Nice room.

Very clean.

You can put that anywhere.

Oh. Yeah.

I have another full box for you.

Oh, thank you.

It's really nice. Thanks.

Oh, you're welcome.

You're welcome.

They-- These are clean,

they're not ripped, but they-- they

might be a little out of style.

What, are there bell-bottoms in here?

[ Laughs ]

No, those I kept for me.

Are you making coffee?

- Yeah, you want a cup?

- You know what? We don't have time.

We're gonna be late.

You oughta shut that off, grab a sweater, and we gotta go.

Okay.

Now they're trying to figure out

what to do with these trees--

whether to leave them there and tunnel through them...

or to rearrange the trail.

Although we are not trees,

in our Gospel lesson we find the story of a man...

who couldn't tell the difference between the two--

between people and trees.

To heal this man, Jesus spit on the man's eyes...

and laid his hands on him.

But the man opened his eyes and could see men,

but they were blurry and looked like trees walking around.

And then Jesus repeated the

process, and the man could see.

The striking detail in the story is that the

blind man's vision was only partially restored.

How many people among us still see persons as things?

We do not see them as children of God.

We do not consider them as persons of infinite worth.

[ Congregation ]

So that we may love you with our whole being...

and love our neighbors as ourselves...

through Jesus Christ, our Lord,

who lives and reigns with you in

the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and forever.

Amen.

[ Cell Phone:

- Hello?

- [ Woman ] Hi, Dad.

Hey, pumpkin.

How you doing?

Not much. Watching TV.

What are you doing?

I'm at the art gallery.

You are? That's nice.

Who are you with?

Nobody.

You went to the museum by yourself?

- Yeah.

- Hey, you're not talking in the gallery, are you?

Uh, no. I am outside.

Okay. Well,

I don't want to keep you.

Well, no, no, no, no.

No, talk to me.

What's-- Is everything okay?

Yeah. I'm just checking in.

Good.

I am still alive.

Okay, good.

Have you met any nice women up there?

What do you mean? What do you mean what do I mean?

Women. To date.

To take to the museum.

[ Chuckles ]

I'm too old to date,

April.

No, you're not.

Hey, you should try signing up for an online service.

Yeah, no, I'm too busy for that.

Okay, well, what if I signed you up?

Would you do it then?

Probably not.

That's not a "definitely not."

Well, it's a most likely definitely not.

Okay, what about I do it, and then we'll see?

Okay, you can do it, but...

I will still probably most likely definitely not do it.

Okay, I already did it.

So I'm just looking for belated permission.

That's my girl.

[ Chuckles ]

All right. So do I have

any hot dates yet?

Not yet, but I will let you know.

All right. Well, weed out everybody

except the 28-year-old supermodels, okay?
