In my new home in the sky

With loaves and fish He'll feed us

His pierced hands will lead us

And we'll rise and shine with Jesus

in the sky

Now when we get to heaven

That sin'll be all compared

And angel's wings we're given

as we climb them golden stairs

I'm gonna strip off

and put on a pure white robe

Scrub clean my sinful soul

So wash me in the blood

Wash me in the blood of Jesus

Now...

seal your eyes and mouth,

extend your arms and hold your breath.

Do your panties.

Beer braised rabbit with carrots

and onions and potatoes.

A jar of lemonade and butter tarts

for dessert.

Fruits of Eden all for the children of Noah.

Jeliza-Rose...

this is where you belong...

Jeliza... this is where you belong.

You're part...

you're part of the family now,

you hear me?

We cannot have any strangers here.

They'd take daddy away from us.

Do you hear me?

Dear Lord...

I hold up a hand to Death.

I keep that troublesome stranger away.

- That is my calling.

- Hallelujah.

When you love something,

it doesn't have to die or go in the ground.

Nothing has to change, for I am

the keeper of the silent souls. Amen.

Amen.

Now, eat. Stuff yourselves.

Yeah.

He's good.

I waited for you for so long.

And now...

after all these years, to have you here...

I love gravy.

- You won't be leaving me again.

- Lemonade.

You'll be staying put for a long while.

He looks like a burrito.

Sleep of the just.

Did you ever know the old lady?

Rose, you ever know your grandma?

She died when I wasn't even born yet.

You missed a saint.

I owe her my life.

She tended my sorry body

after that bee darn near killed me.

Nasty, nasty bees.

Nasty...

buzzy bees.

Course I...

I can see more than most,

even with my eyes closed.

Yes.

I can see birds and...

rabbits and...

curious little girls hiding behind bushes.

I can see everything you can imagine.

Course...

curious little girls hiding behind bushes...

sometimes see more than they should.

Best minding one's own business,

you hear me?

Otherwise, Rose,

bad things might happen.

Bad, bad things might happen

under the sun.

You smell awful.

You reek of the devil, Rose!

You're dead.

You finished making that trap, Dickens?

Dickens!

Nasty.

Diseased.

Come on, hurry up now, Dickens.

Nasty.

Sateen Lips?

Baby Blonde?

- Are you there?

- Yeah, hallelujah.

Behold brothers and sisters,

she's been washed in the blood of Jesus.

A full recovery is expected.

I've never been so happy.

I'm alive!

Jeliza-Rose, you know I love you,

don't you?

Honey, I'm sorry.

I'll do something nice for you soon.

- I promise, baby.

- Hallelujah. She's born again.

- Jesus is giving her a new brain.

- Have some chocolate.

Wash me in the blood

Rise and shine, dear.

Mustique's alive!

She's okay and happy.

Just a dream. Trust me.

- I know everything.

- Stop it.

Stop pretending you're her.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

It's not just a dream!

That's what you get! You're a bad dog!

Hi, Jeliza-Rose.

I better go because I didn't knock

and that's rude. So I'll go, okay?

I didn't knock, so I'll go, okay?

Don't go! Don't go.

I've got good news.

Mustique's all right!

She's in the hospital

but she's got a body...

and she's gonna get a real brain too!

I'd like a new brain sometimes.

Because I think a new one is shiny!

Yeah. She was happy.

I guess she isn't a doll any more.

She must be pretty.

She's beautiful.

She's fabulous, dear.

And we're gonna make you fabulous

too, darling.

That one.

Scarlet Surrender is best.

Now, sit still...

- or you'll make me do it wrong.

- I won't move a muscle.

As I don't have muscles anyway,

so I won't move them.

Puff your lips.

Get ready.

There.

I think you're nice.

It's silly.

You got red on me.

Silly kisser.

The old lady who lived here

was a silly kisser too.

She kissed me.

That was when I was little.

She was my grandma.

She never kissed me...

because I didn't get born yet.

Sometimes she did this in my mouth...

and that was fun.

It was a snake, I think...

or a goldfish dancing.

Some days I'd be here all day

kissing with her.

She's a nice lady. Except she's dead.

Dickens...

she was your girlfriend.

You were her boyfriend.

No...

I was her cutie... I was her little cutie.

But she...

she did fall down the steps and die.

I ran down when she did that.

Because I was just little,

I didn't know what to do.

I was scared.

- She's nice lady.

- Dickens...

you're a little cutie.

You're a little cutie too.

Silly kissers!

Silly kissers!

Silly...

A bomb!

They're exploding the ground!

It's bigger than firecrackers

and bullets.

- I love firecrackers.

- Me too. I really do.

It's the boom hole!

It's the edge of the world.

It's the Hundred Year Ocean.

I got a secret.

If I say, you can't tell, okay?

Because if Dell knows she'll wallop me

good and I'll be in trouble forever.

What is it?

It's a giant atom bomb.

And the end of the whole world.

Yeah, like a big tidal wave

that goes whoosh!

And everything gets cleaned away

like chemicals...

and the Baby Jesus returns

forever and ever.

Amen.

I wanna see.

I don't know. Maybe tomorrow

when Dell drives to town.

If you show me...

you can keep the arm.

Is it a boy or a girl?

Because a girl is nice, I think.

- It's a boy.

- How can you tell?

- No, that doesn't mean it's a boy.

- Yes, it does.

It's a thingy.

You got a thingy. I know.

No, that's wrong. I don't have that.

I don't have that.

Dickens.

Dickens...

I'd like to see your secret.

I don't know.

You're my boyfriend.

My cutie.

You're my dear sweet Captain...

and I'm Mrs Captain.

I don't understand that.

I better go home, I think.

Dickens has a girlfriend.

He's your boyfriend.

He's my husband.

And I... I... I...

I'm his wife.

He's dreamboat. He's a sunny cloud.

Kiss me.

- You're a girl.

- Kiss me and I'll be a boy.

- Girls don't kiss girls that way.

- Please.

Oh baby.

You're disgusting.

That was fun. That was great.

- You're my best friend.

- And you're mine too.

And I love Dickens!

He's the sweet prince.

He's the great king.

He's apply juice and jerky!

We're a happy family.

And Dell will marry daddy

and look after us all.

And we'll explore the Hundred

Years Ocean. It's a dream come true.

It's Christmas!

And what do we have here?

I think a baby is in me from kissing.

I think it's Mustique.

I think she's come back.

Tell Dickens.

Tell him about the baby.

Then he'll let you see his special secret.

Maybe he's alone.

But maybe Dell's still there.

Let's go.

Let's go see Dickens special secret

in his room.

My sweet honey rose

Strange dark flower rose

Jeliza-Rose

Hello? It's us.

It's Jeliza-Rose.

It's a real nice day for a tea party.

Me and Glitter Gal are here...

in case you're not too busy.

Jeliza-Rose. See what happens when

you're small and hungry all the time?

You're nasty. You deserve it.

Maybe I am nasty,

but at least I'm alive.

Get out while you can,
