totally embrace the situation.

Total surrender,

even on a trial basis.

And then if you Want to go,

my guess is he'll let ya,

if that's What you really Want.

Total surrender.

You know, you're

pretty tough for an angel.

Yeah, Well, you ought

to read your Bible, Ben.

Book of Genesis.

It Was a cherub that delivered

the eviction notice

in the garden of Eden.

And that Was a cherub.

Let's not even talk

about the seraphim.

So are you a...

Seraphim?

Yeah, seraphim.

I mean, Where do you rank?

Did they send me

someone important?

Well, the fact that I'm

sitting here babysitting you

should tell you Where I rank.

Oh, What are you doing?

Something I should have done

a long time ago.

Well, can I

fix you something?

Some bacon and eggs, maybe?

Sure, thanks.

I haven't seen you like this

since you Were in seminary.

What's gotten into you?

I guess you could

say Ben Walker.

Is this my turn coming up?

Uh, hello, Woodrow Wilson.

You only graduated from there.

I just Wanted to make sure

they didn't move it.

Yeah, dad.

They moved it across town

since you dropped us off

two Weeks ago.

I'll see ya

this afternoon.

Bye.

She still likes him.

I know.

This hasn't been easy.

I mean, I know in my heart

that you brought us together.

And I know that there's good

times and there's bad times.

He's been a wonderful father

and husband all these years,

and I know that you can help

him through whatever it is

he's going through.

Help him to remember who he is

and why he chose this life

and how much you love him

and how much we love him, Amen.

Hey, Charlie.

Hey, Well, here you go.

- Thanks.

- Yup.

Owe on gas, electric bill.

Oh, the termite inspector's

report came back.

And?

And We are a home

to a number

of the Lord's smaller creatures.

So how much to get

rid of 'em?

Well, three times what we've

got in the general account.

Insurance fund?

Empty.

Building fund?

Don't make me laugh.

Well, maybe, you know,

the Lord Will see us through.

You Working

on your sermon?

Couldn't be any Worse

than last Week, right?

Your Words,

Pastor, not mine.

Hmm.

I better be right about this.

Surprise!

Ooh.

Oh, I blew out your candle.

Is that carrot cake?

I love carrot cake.

It's... is it With...

Axelrod's cream

cheese icing?

Yeah.

And it Was very hard to

find here, I might add.

You're not out of the Woods,

but We Wouldn't

skip your birthday.

Thank you.

Thank this one.

She's the one Who shredded

the carrots, and her finger.

Oh, I'm sorry, sweetie.

It's okay.

And I know that We're tight

on money and We said no gifts,

but Charlie had this software

on his computer

and he helped me With this.

Thanks.

It's us, all of us on D VD.

It's birthdays

and Christmas mornings,

and there's even some clips

of our Wedding on there.

All the best moments

of the last 15 years.

Thank you.

Come on.

Come on.

Yeah, let's cut that.

I'm gonna re-light

this for you.

Make a Wish.

You Want to help me

blow it out?

One, two, three.

All right, save a few

pieces for yourself.

You're eating for two now.

Come on, let me see that tummy.

Kimberly, happy birthday.

Happy birthday, Kimberly.

Look at you.

You're so cute.

I mean, you know, you still are,

but look at you.

And that's Megan in there.

I mean she must have been born

not long after this, huh?

You're acting surprised.

Well, you know, I just

haven't seen this in a While.

Hey, I know I've been a jerk

the past few days.

Oh, really?

Easy.

I'm saying I've been

off my game,

but I'm gonna try harder to,

you know, not be a jerk.

So can you Wait a few more days

before you officially

hate me forever?

All right, three more days.

How's five?

Four, but you

gotta earn it.

A negotiator, Nice.

All right, four.

Whoo!

Oh my goodness.

Hello, little Megan.

Give your sister

a little kiss, okay?

She's... look at her.

Hey dad.

Pretty amazing, huh?

Mm-hmm.

Little Megan.

Your little sister.

- You gonna be a good sister?

- Yup.

- Promise?

- Yup.

- Not gonna make her mad?

- Nope.

- Not gonna make her cry.

- Nope.

I don't believe you.

It'll be your job to bug her.

Mm-hmm.

- Mm-hmm.

- Yes, it Will.

I gave you that one.

I got you!

First Word, flew

over the cuckoo's nest.

You didn't think

you could get it.

Oh, yeah, I could get it.

Okay, What's next?

More, more, more.

Hey, sweetheart.

First boat ride.

First boat ride.

Up here, can

we look this way?

Look at this one.

You see how high that is?

Oh, see, see.

There's a...

yeah, you're right.

There's a bird right there.

I got...

We got 'em pretty good, huh?

Hey kiddo.

Hi dad.

You got a minute?

Sure.

What's that?

That's a fish tank.

I mean, What's it for?

Well, I happened to be

Walking past a pet store

and I accidentally Went inside,

and apparently, I bought this.

The gravel's

pink and purple.

Yeah, I figured

you'd like that.

You see, it's got a lot

of space, has a filter.

There's even a little bubbler,

you know,

give him a lot of air.

And then there's even a little

heater, in case he gets cold.

But Jonah's gone.

I know.

But this guy still needs a home,

and I thought, you know,

maybe he could stay With us.

What should We call him?

Well, I Was thinking maybe

Jonah the second?

Or Jonah Jr?

Or little Jonah?

Do you think Jonah Would mind

if little Jonah has

his treasure chest?

Hmm.

I think he'd Want

him to have it.

Love you, daddy.

Megan, stay still, please.

Where's Kimberly?

She's still upstairs.

Okay, I'll go get her.

Don't think I'm

not still mad at you.

I know, you should be.

I should?

Sure.

You're not a little girl

anymore, and I shouldn't

treat you like one.

Does that mean I get to go

to Angelina Buckner's

homecoming party?

No, It doesn't

mean that at all.

I'm pretty sure your mom

Wouldn't approve,

and neither do I.

See, that's the problem.

You say I'm not a little girl

anymore, but you treat me

like one anyways.

What's that?

It's two tickets

to the Toby Mac concert

at the stadium.

It's because you're not

a little girl anymore.

I don't have

anyone to go With.

Actually, there's a guy

Who'd really like

to go With you.

Who?

Dillon.

Dillon?

Yes, that Dillon,

the I gave him $80

to stay away from you, Dillon.

But What if he

doesn't Want to...

Oh, he does.

I already talked to him,

trust me, he Wants to go.

You didn't...

No, I didn't pay him.

What do you think I'm crazy?

Okay, and this is not a date.

I'm gonna have Wendy, your mom,

drive you, and she's gonna sit

a few rows behind you

along With his mom.

But I Won't be Within a hundred

miles so you don't have

to worry about me, you know,

messing things up.

Thanks, daddy.

You're Welcome.

Come on, let's go.

Pastor has to be

on time, right?

So there's Moses, he's

minding his own business.

He's tending his sheep,

Whatever that means.

He's, you know, poking

at them With a stick.

He's Whistling at them.

He's doing something.
