To the Wonder Page #3

Synopsis: Neil (Ben Affleck) is an American traveling in Europe who meets and falls in love with Marina (Olga Kurylenko), a Ukrainian divorcée who is raising her 10-year-old daughter Tatiana in Paris. The lovers travel to Mont St. Michel, the island abbey off the coast of Normandy, basking in the wonder of their newfound romance. Neil makes a commitment to Marina, inviting her to relocate to his native Oklahoma with Tatiana. He takes a job as an environmental inspector and Marina settles into her new life in America with passion and vigor. After a holding pattern, their relationship cools. Marina finds solace in the company of another exile, the Catholic priest Father Quintana (Javier Bardem), who is undergoing a crisis of faith. Work pressures and increasing doubt pull Neil further apart from Marina, who returns to France with Tatiana when her visa expires. Neil reconnects with Jane (Rachel McAdams), an old flame. They fall in love until Neil learns that Marina has fallen on hard times. Gripped

My god...

what a cruel war.

I find two women inside me.

One...

full of love for you.

The other...

pulls me down

towards the earth.

I thought

you went away.

Forgive me.

Please.

Don't take up with anybody

during the first six months.

Don't stop talking

to people.

That's the first mistake that I see

people make in my practice.

Sometimes you eat the bear,

and sometimes

the bear eats you.

You can't feel sorry

for yourself.

Once we get her served...

that'll start the process.

Because there's

no children involved,

this could be a fairly rapid process,

if that's what you want.

And I don't want you

to lose hope...

It's very hard

to be there.

The one who loves less,

the one who's stronger.

You have to struggle

with yourself.

You have to struggle

with your own...

strength.

Why?

I saw you.

Again.

They are sending me away.

I won't be here for long.

They are sending me

to Western Kansas.

Western Kansas? What are you

gonna do in Western Kansas?

A lot of people around here

is going to be missing you.

We need people like you

here in Bartlesville.

To preach the gospel.

That's why we have churches.

Where are you leading me?

Teach us where to seek you.

I feel a lot of burning,

you know...

I pray but sometimes

I don't hear him.

I don't think

he hears me.

Christ, be with me.

Christ before me.

Christ behind me.

Christ in me.

Christ beneath me.

Christ above me.

Christ on my right.

Christ on my left.

Christ in the heart.

Thirsting.

We thirst.

Flood our souls

with your spirit and life...

So completely...

That our lives may only be

a reflection of yours.

Shine through us.

Show us how to seek you.

We were made to see you.

I want to keep your name.

Love that loves us...

Thank you.
