7th Heaven s11e14 Episode Script

Deacon Blues

Lou, how's it going? I wish I were better.
Lots of empty pews out there today.
Oh, no more than usual.
Well, that-that's that's my point.
Uh, Eric, don't take this as coming from me.
It's not necessarily my opinion, but the-the deacons are of the belief that your services lately have Well, frankly, Eric, they're just not all that happy with the direction the church seems to be taking.
And what exactly do the deacons have problems with? Well, the buzz the deacons are hearing is that your services have jumped the shark.
Jumped the shark? Their words, not mine.
They think that the sermons are sounding a little desperate a lot of life and death stuff, sharing your feelings, baring your soul.
And, uh, people just can't take that every week.
And this just came up all of a sudden? All these problems the deacons are having with me have materialized in the ten minutes since the service finished? No, no, no.
They They've, They've been discussing this for some time.
They didn't want to talk to you about it because you were you were going through what-what you're going through.
But-But that topic just doesn't seem to appeal to the to the younger crowd.
Oh.
I didn't realize that was our target demographic.
Young churchgoers are the lifeblood of every congregation.
Yeah, I know that.
I thought Lucy appealed to our younger members.
Oh.
Lucy's stale, too, according to the deacons? Well, the deacons think we really ought to be going after the younger churchgoers.
They-They volunteer for our charity drives, they-they work in our committees, they donate more than our older parishioners on fixed incomes.
Ah, so this is about money.
Eric, I don't think any of this would-would be an issue if we weren't running about $16,000 over budget for this fiscal year.
$16,000? That's quite a discrepancy.
Forgive me, Eric.
The deacons want me to pass on to you their suggestions on how to increase the buzz in the services, get young people back into the church and, hopefully, uh, more funds back into the budget.
And those are? Their notes.
7th Heaven When I see their happy faces Smiling back at me 7th Heaven I know there's no greater feeling Than the love of family Where can you go When the world don't treat you right? The answer is home That's the one place that you'll find 7th Heaven Mmm, 7th Heaven 7th Heaven.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Room in there for me? Sure.
You got the paper, right? Good.
Well that was a close one.
Too close.
This isn't working.
No, it's not.
There's not a single place in this whole house where we can get even five minutes of privacy.
Well, if you could drive, then we wouldn't have this problem.
Hey, why can't you drive? I can drive.
Well, do you have a license? Well, no.
Well, then you can't drive.
Why don't you have your license? I've had a few problems jumping through the bureaucratic hoops required for one to obtain a license.
Wait why don't you have a license? You're old enough.
Well, I didn't take driver's ed last semester because I was in Scotland, and they were already full this semester when I tried to sign up.
Well, that, uh, actually might be for the best.
I mean, you probably don't remember what's the right side of the road to drive on anymore.
- A joke.
- Yeah, I know, but it wasn't very good.
Well, if you ever want us to have a few minutes of privacy, you need to get a license.
Does this mean we can't make out until I do? Of course not.
Hey, what took you so long? I thought you'd be home just a few minutes after us.
Yeah, so did I.
Well, we've had lunch.
The boys are upstairs studying.
Can you believe it? They love homeschooling so much, they're actually studying on a Sunday afternoon.
Yeah, I know.
It's great.
What's wrong? You think my services are depressing? The deacons are concerned that church attendance is slipping, and they think that my depressing services are the reason.
Oh, Eric I'm sorry.
Yeah, so am I.
They've decided to implement a few changes to increase the profile of the church.
Oh, Eric, there are ebbs and flows in any religious community.
Congregation members leave one day and come back twofold tomorrow.
You-You can't take any of this criticism personally.
Yeah, I know.
I mean, the deacons probably wouldn't have even said anything if we weren't $16,000 over budget.
How much over budget? $16,000.
We are not one dollar over budget.
I haven't had a chance to look over the books, but, according to Lou, we are.
No! Those are my books.
Those are my numbers.
We are not over budget.
Annie, don't take it personally.
How can I not take it personally? I helped with that budget.
I help you stay on that budget.
I know where the money goes.
Any implication that we're over budget is a direct shot at me.
- Well - Is that? Yeah, but I'll let you know when I find the money.
What about this one? It's too small.
This one? Too expensive.
Too small and too expensive.
So, it looks like every available apartment in town is either not big enough for the three of us or costs too much.
Or both.
You know, we wouldn't have this problem if we were looking for just the two of us.
I mean, we could get a one bedroom or a studio even.
We can still get a one bedroom.
I told you before, I have no problem sharing.
Nice try.
Okay.
We need more money then.
I work at a nonprofit.
I mean, they can barely afford to pay me what they're paying me now.
I can't ask for a raise.
Yeah, I love working with kids, but I'm not getting rich being a nanny.
I thought Evelyn said she would pay you a lot.
I do good by the hour, but Evelyn can't stand to be away from the house for more than two hours at a time.
She's a great mother.
Yeah.
That's great for her, not so great for us.
I don't have a job, so I can't ask for a raise.
I-I guess I need to get a job.
Yeah.
If you want to live with us, you do.
Well, right now, it doesn't look like any of us are moving anywhere.
You want me to teach you how to drive? No.
I-I actually know how to drive.
I'm actually quite good at it.
I just never really had the parental permission needed to take the driver's test.
But now, with the emancipation, I can just go in on my own.
So go on your own.
Well, I've aced the written part of the driver's exam, but I have a tendency to choke under pressure.
And since it's been a while since I was in driver's education and drove with an authority figure beside me, I'm not sure I'll be able to handle it.
What do you want me to do? Well, I figured, you used to be a cop.
You know all the little secrets and tricks they use to get guys like me to fail that test.
There are no secrets or tricks.
- Really? - You can either drive or you can't; it's pretty simple.
Well, I mean, I don't need super-thorough driving lessons.
I just want you to give me the quick, CliffNotes version of how to pass.
I only want to know what I need to know.
You need to know it all.
If you want your license, it means you want to drive.
And, if you want to drive, you want to drive Ruthie.
And, if you're going to drive Ruthie, I'm going to make sure you're a safe driver.
I care about her too much to let her get in a vehicle with somebody who doesn't know proper motor vehicle safety and basic traffic regulations.
Really? So you'll help me? Sure.
Every day after school, I will help you become one of the safest drivers on the road.
Thank you, Kevin.
Thank me after you finish the Kinkirk crash course.
Yeah, I will, but just-just don't say "crash" again.
Oh, I'm I'm sorry to just burst in like this.
I need Lucy.
She's upstairs giving Savannah a bath.
I can get her if you need her.
Yeah, I do.
It-It's kind of important.
It's about work.
Okay, I'll be right back.
Where's Ruthie? Uh, what do you mean? Well, the two of you are usually joined at the hip.
No.
No, we're not.
I have no intention to be joined at the hip with Ruthie at anytime in the near future.
I-I don't even think about her hips, I swear.
No, I didn't mean I-I should go.
Oh hmm.
There aren't any jobs available at the movie theater, are there? Well, I mean, Tony is always looking for qualified candidates.
Why? You're interested in gainful employment? I guess; the real world is expensive.
Tell me about it.
I mean, why do you think I ended up squatting at the church when I needed a place to stay? I guess if I'm going to move in with Margaret and Jane, I kind of need to, uh, you know, have an income.
You're not going to get rich working at the movie theater, but probably be able to put a little change in your pocket.
I don't need to get rich, I just need to have enough to pay for a third of the apartment.
Put in a good word for you.
Thanks.
I owe you one.
I'll remember that.
So Lou doesn't think I'm young and hip? The deacons think that there are changes we can make to the standard service that will bring in more of a crowd.
More of a hip and younger crowd? Well, I'm young, and I'm hip.
And-And I've got my teen group.
And they're young, and they're hip, and they love me.
I'm-I'm sure they do, but right now, the deacons aren't happy with the, uh, direction the church is headed.
And, uh, unless we can convince them otherwise, we got some work to do.
Yeah.
So what are you going to work on next? You got spelling, geography and reading.
What are you doing? What do you mean? That.
You've been working on it for days.
Oh, well, this is for the church.
I'm trying to figure out why we don't have as much money as we should have.
What subject is that? It's called accounting.
It's math with money.
I'm good at math.
I'm better at math than he is.
No, you're not.
Yes, I am.
Hey, you're both good at math.
And you're both a whole lot better at it than I was at your age.
Do you want us to do your homework for you? Yeah, we can help, since we're better at it than you are.
Thank you, but I think this is something that I should work on by myself.
Okay.
If you need any help, you know where to find us.
Well, it's, uh, really pretty easy.
I mean, people give you money, and you give them a ticket.
I can handle that.
Good.
I will be back.
Wait, wait.
You're leaving? Remember you said you'd owe me one if I got you a job? Yeah.
This is that one.
Kevin's going to give me another lesson.
Hopefully, he'll let me drive today.
Well, I-I thought you were supposed to train me.
I just did.
Tickets are here, money goes here.
W-When do the people start to come? Soon.
Hey, don't worry.
You'll be fine.
Oh.
There are two of my favorite girls.
I told Kevin I'd watch Savannah in exchange for his helping T Bone get his license.
That's so nice of Kevin to help T Bone.
Yeah nice.
You don't seem very appreciative.
Well, when I believe Kevin is actually helping T Bone rather than instilling more fear in him to stay away from me, then I'll appreciate it.
Well, if that's what Kevin's really doing, then I appreciate it.
So are you telling me that you don't trust me to be alone in a car with T Bone? I trust you, and I trust T Bone, but I trust the two of you a whole lot more when you're in the general vicinity where your father and Lucy and Kevin and I can keep an eye on you.
So that would be a no.
Well, if my not trusting you would make you happy, then you can believe whatever you want to believe.
That's what I thought.
You are about to make a left turn.
You must signal continuously during the last how many feet before the turn? Uh Whoa! Is that really necessary? There are many surprises on the road.
You have to be ready for anything.
I told you, I already passed the written part of the exam.
I mean, I know all this stuff.
You said you choke under pressure, so I am putting you in a high-pressure environment while I make sure you're ready to get behind the wheel.
Again, you are about to make a left turn.
You must signal? A hundred feet.
Good.
You are at a green light, but traffic is blocking the intersection.
You should? Stay out of the intersection until traffic clears.
Correct.
You are driving on a freeway where the posted speed is 65 miles per hour, while most other vehicles are traveling 70 miles per hour or faster.
You may legally drive how fast? Sixty-five! Correct again.
The term "gross combination weight" refers to what? Now, I've never I've never even heard that before.
It's on the test for commercial drivers.
And why would I ever need to know that? You can never know too much.
Am I ever going to drive? Well? It's good.
It's really good.
Well, it felt good, but it's always nice to have another pair of eyes take a look at it.
Yeah, it reminds me of a sermon you used to give when I was younger.
Oh, you mean when I was good? That's not what I meant.
You captured something in here that reminds me of hearing your words for the first time.
I mean, it's-it's comforting and-and powerful all at the same time.
Well, thank you.
I just, I can't believe you have to get Lou's approval before you give this.
It's not really an approval.
I-I don't look at it that way.
They-They just want to be involved the deacons and Lou.
They want to feel like it's their church, too.
So I'm looking at it as a challenge.
It's always good to have a challenge.
Speak of the devil.
I'm not your enemy here, Eric.
I know that; you're just acting on my enemy's behalf.
Well, whether you want to admit it or not, we are both on the same team.
Well, here you go; knock yourself out.
I hope it meets with your approval.
Well, I do, too.
Oh, and if there's anything that we can do to make the services more entertaining, please just let us know.
Now that you mention it, it might be nice to put some more music back into the service.
Well, hey, we can do that.
Oh, right, you mean young and hip music.
Got it.
I'm not, uh, late, am I? Oh, not at all.
Please, come in, come in.
Uh, Lucy, Eric, do you all know Bob Meyers? Meyers Automotive.
New and used car sales and service.
Yeah, I've seen your ads on the sides of buses.
Yep, those are the ones.
What can I do for you, Bob? Well, it's, uh, more what I can do for you.
One of the ways the deacons were thinking of spreading our message in the community was having Bob talk up our church in his dealership.
No uh, we have never advertised.
It's not advertising.
It's outreach.
We're getting ready for our big President's Day Bonanza.
That means a lot of people are going to be coming into my shop, looking to get behind the wheel of a new or used automobile.
And there could be a lot of potential new parishioners.
And what does Bob get in return? Half a page in the church bulletin.
And, uh, just a brief mention during the service itself.
Geez, I-I don't know, Bob.
It could be kind of hard to tie car sales in with the Sermon on the Mount.
Well, if, uh, what I heard about you is true, you're just the guy for the job.
So, what's the verdict, Lou? Have the deacons cleared me to do the same service I've been doing for over 20 years? Well, the deacons think your sermon is-is wonderful.
Oh.
There's just a few changes.
Nothing-Nothing major just-just a few tweaks here and there.
You should be able to whip this into shape for next Sunday.
Next Sunday? - Lou? - Eric.
What do the deacons want now? Because they Because you've implemented these desired changes, they've decided to kick this Sunday off with a whole new program.
Mm.
And they think that a fresh new voice would be a welcome change once in a while.
Fresh.
And they think if someone with a unique perspective and a new point of view were to give the sermon, it might breathe new life into the service.
I am sure you will agree with their choice.
I don't agree with their decision to make a choice, so why would I agree with their choice? Hi.
Welcome to Flicks.
How can I help you? Nice outfit.
Very funny.
Yeah, we heard you were down here.
We had to come and take a look ourselves.
Hey, I'm just trying to make some money so we can get our place.
You shouldn't be mocking me, you should be supporting me.
- Can't we do both? - Listen, if you're not going to see the movie, you're going to have to step out of line.
I'm kind of in over my head here.
T Bone left me alone again.
Actually, we came down here for a reason.
We found a place.
One bedroom, one bath in a safe part of town.
One bedroom? Sure, why not? I mean, we're all friends, right? How much? If your job pans out, it's in your range.
The high end of your range.
And? After rent, utilities and food, you're not going to be left with any spending money.
That's fine.
I don't want to crash at the Camdens' house forever.
I can cut back on my spending.
Wait, I'm I'm not going to have any spending money left? We can't.
Not with the jobs we have now.
This was your idea.
Now you're bailing out? We're not bailing out.
We just decided that the Camdens' garage apartment better fits our financial needs at the moment.
You can't freeload off the Camdens forever.
You're adults; act like it.
And now you're holding up the line.
Geez, that was harsh.
Really harsh.
If that's your idea of help, I don't want it anymore.
I'm sorry.
I don't think you are.
I really am.
I didn't mean anything by it.
You didn't mean anything by it?! You kept blowing that stupid horn in my ear the whole time I was driving.
It's called pressure.
No, that's not pressure.
That's creating an unsafe driving environment.
I thought you wanted help passing your test.
No, I do, but this isn't helping, this is hazing.
All right, so maybe I went about this the wrong way.
I know why you're doing this.
I know you don't want me to get my license because you don't want me and Ruthie to be out alone together.
That's not it at all.
I don't think.
Well, I understood your subtle threat about what you would do to me if I did anything with Ruthie.
Lucy told me to apologize about that.
Well, you don't have to.
Ruthie and I we're two mature people.
We can decide what we do or what we don't do on our own.
And your threats, while quite effective, had no bearing on our decision to take it slowly.
- Really? - Really.
We're taking it slowly.
No, I meant "really, my threats weren't effective"? Well, you painted quite a picture, I'll give you that but we're teenagers.
We're used to going against the wishes of elders.
Oh, and another thing this is none of your business, as much as you seem to think it is.
Reverend and Mrs.
Camden sure.
But you? Definitely not.
If you're thinking of driving off and leaving me here alone, I'll say I was kidding.
Come on, let's go take your test.
Really? You're not going to kill me? No.
You just faced a high-pressure situation and passed with flying colors.
You're ready.
But I'm serious you hurt her, I'll hurt you, even if it is none of my business.
Noted.
Last time, I promise.
Mom's still doing her homework.
I think we should go help her.
She doesn't want our help.
What are you guys looking at? Mom.
Exciting.
Will you keep Mom busy for a while? Sure.
Whoa, look at you.
Yesterday, Savannah.
Today, Aaron.
You're become a real babysitter, aren't you? Yeah, whatever.
Sandy dropped him off on her way to the church.
What is she doing down at the church? I don't know.
Would you mind watching him for a little while? I've got some homework.
Oh, sure.
Savannah's asleep upstairs; I'm used to watching multiple children at one time.
Thanks, Mom.
Mission accomplished.
Eh, I think this can wait, huh? This isn't like any math I've ever seen.
Good thing there's two of us.
I confirmed the band for next week and Oh, hi, Sandy.
What are you doing here? Lucy, I'm so sorry.
I didn't know.
- Didn't know what? - I didn't know about all the stuff going on at the church and what they're doing to you and your dad.
If I had known anything about it, I wouldn't have said yes.
I should have figured something was wrong when I got the call from Lou and not from you, but I was just so excited to get the call that I didn't really think about it.
Uh, I'm-I'm sorry.
Said yes to what? Uh, Sandy's going to be giving the sermon this Sunday.
Well, that's-that's! It's terrible.
And I'm not going to do it.
No, no, I told you, you're not going to turn this down.
And even if you think the deacons are treating us unfairly, this is such a great opportunity for you, you have to do it.
Yeah.
You know, I remember the first time I spoke in front of everyone at the church.
You know, like you, I knew that this is what I wanted to do.
But being in that pulpit and realizing that my words were being heard by everyone, and that some people might even be listening to what I have to say, and a few people might even learn something or understand something or feel something that they didn't feel it's an amazing feeling.
And don't take that feeling away from yourself.
This is your Sunday.
We'll have others.
Are you sure? If I have your blessing, then I'll do it.
You have our blessing.
Okay.
Thank you, both of you.
Wow, I have a lot of work ahead of me.
Well, you better write fast, so the deacons can approve your sermon.
Oh, they said I could talk about anything I wanted.
Oh.
Huh.
That's nice.
Always a pleasure to see you.
Thank you for being here.
Annie, I can't imagine I'm the most popular person in your home today.
No, you're not.
Can you explain this? Well, we're over budget, we need to do something about it, and the figures don't lie.
Yes, but I have been over these and over these.
I just can't find the money anywhere.
It doesn't make sense.
There's nothing to find, Annie.
I've looked at it myself.
Everything seems right to me.
We know where the money is.
Yeah, we helped you with your homework.
We know where it is.
What? It was in the back of the book, stuck between some blank pages.
Oh, my gosh, it's checks made out to the church.
A thousand another for 500 another $16,475.
We counted it ourselves.
Here's the money that wasn't missing.
Well, it, uh it appears that the deacons made a bit of an oversight.
Yes, it does.
I'm so sorry, Annie.
It's okay.
I'm just glad the church is still in good shape.
Yeah, me, too.
Thank you, boys, thank you.
You have no idea how much you just helped.
You're welcome, Mom.
It was easy.
We're working on times tables now.
Those are harder than accounting.
Do you know if Ruthie and T Bone have shown up yet? Uh, no, but they'll be here.
I trust them.
Easy for you to say.
Come on.
Actually, I mean, Kevin's hazing helped me as misguided as it was.
I'm happy you got your license and everything, but if we don't get to church before it starts, I don't know when my parents will let you borrow the car again.
I know.
I'm just kind of savoring this freedom.
I mean, I can go wherever I want, whenever I want.
And no one, not my mother, not your parents and not the Glenoak Transit System can tell me I can't.
I am free to be free.
So, I guess we could leave or we could you know.
Yeah, I know.
Look, just because you got this newfound freedom doesn't mean we have to make out all the time.
You can still be free to be free, but I can be free to not make out with you if I don't want.
No? Oh.
We should get going.
Yeah, we should.
And I can be free to make out with you if I want.
Freedom is a wonderful thing.
Are you kidding me? I thought you can't get a ticket on a Sunday! It's a loading zone.
Well, this freedom thing sure is getting off to a poor start.
My father and I hope you are all enjoying the new feel of today's service.
And continuing with that theme, we are fortunate to have Sandy Jameson giving today's sermon.
Most of you all know Sandy, because our church sponsors her while she's continuing her studies.
So, Sandy.
I want to thank Lou Dalton and the deacons for inviting me to speak.
I want to talk about the challenges young people face in the world today, the challenges young parents face raising their children in the world today, the challenges young Christians face in the world today.
I want to talk about all of those things.
But I'm not going to.
I'm not going to talk about those things because I don't have all the answers.
And, really, I guess no one does.
But when I have questions, I turn to someone who knows more than I do to help guide me towards the answers.
It's always important to listen to people who you truly respect.
And right now, I want to listen to someone that I truly respect.
I want to hear what he has to say.
I don't want to hear what someone who hasn't accomplished as much as he has allows him to say.
Reverend Camden.
The pulpit is yours.
Like it always should be.
You didn't have to do this.
Yes, I did.
It was the right thing to do.
Sandy I've never asked you to say anything on my behalf, but, uh thank you for your kind words.
I remember when I first came to this church.
I was young and idealistic, and I had the whole world in my sights.
And back then, the only things I cared about were taking care of my family and trying to help the people in this congregation.
And as time went on, those things began just to not quite be enough, 'cause I also had to take care of people in need who weren't part of my family, and I had to do my best to help people in this community who were outside of this congregation.
And I thought that was working pretty well.
But now, it seems that there are some people here who care more about figures and attendance and statistics than about doing the right thing.
It shouldn't just be about how much money we have and how many people are sitting in the pews.
It should be about how much good we do in our communities, our neighborhoods, our homes.
Some people seem to have forgotten about what's important.
I hope I haven't.
I hope I never do.
I have loved every Sunday that I've stood before you.
I hope you've loved them, too, because no matter what some people try to tell me to do, I'm not going to change the way I've always done things.
Sometimes you have to make a stand.
This is my stand.
I've always done my best for this community.
I don't think it's time for me to start doing my second best just because it looks good on the bottom line.
I think my community deserves better.
You I think you deserve better.
I think we all deserve better.
Oh, uh, sorry.
Uh one more thing.
Yes, yes.
Yeah, today's service is brought to you by Meyers Automotive.
With both new and used cars, Meyers Automotive has a friendly and courteous staff ready to help you with all your car-buying needs.
So get down to Meyers Automotive for their big President's Day Bonanza.
Thank you.
Uh, I don't want to hear it, Lou.
Nope, I said what I said, and I meant it.
If the deacons don't like it, they can have my resignation.
Life is too short.
See, I know that now.
I'm not going to live the rest of my life the way they want me to live it.
I'm going to live the rest of my life the way I want to live it.
So, go ahead, tell me how disappointed the deacons are with me.
Lou? Eric, thank you.
You just said everything I've wanted to say for months.
Really? The You mean, the deacons aren't mad at me? Who cares what the deacons think? I resigned my position at the church last week.
I couldn't say anything about my resignation, about their ideas, about what they were asking you to do nothing.
I'm so sorry.
You don't have to apologize.
Oh, yes, I do.
'Cause I knew what they were asking you to do was wrong, and I didn't stand up to them.
For that, I am sorry.
Well, for that you-you're forgiven.
But you're still going to be around.
I mean, even if you're not head of the deacons, you'll still be at church, right? No.
I'm retiring from the bank.
I'm going to do something I've wanted to do for a long time.
I'm moving back to the Midwest.
I'm going to help them open a nonprofit bank specializing in micro-loans for farmers and small businesses.
I've already put the house up for sale, found a rental on a few acres.
Well, we're heading out next week.
Not a lot of money in nonprofits, from what I've heard.
You're right about that.
But there's more.
There's a whole lot more.
Congratulations.
I wish I could say that today's sermon inspired me to do this.
It didn't? No, Eric you've been inspiring me for over 20 years.
Well, if you need anything, you know the number.
Yeah.
Same goes for you.
God bless you, Eric Camden.
You, too, Lou.
Thanks.
He looks happy.
He is.
So am I.
That was very impressive out there today.
Oh, what can I say? I was moved.
So what do we do now, Reverend Camden? Let's go home.
Didn't you give her my name? Of course I tried to drop your name to get me out of the ticket.
And? Does it look like it helped? I guess I've been out of the game too long.
I don't think he was ever in the game.
So, think your parents will ever let me borrow the car again? And now you're going to have to fight for shifts at the theater with Mac if you want to buy your own car.
Yeah, I think I trained him too well.
There you go.
Missed you guys at church today.
Oh, we were packing.
Packing? You're? We're moving out.
Yeah, we found a place.
With Mac.
So you're moving, too? Afraid so.
Oh.
So y-your uniforms? We're back at the Shack.
Yeah, sometimes you have to take a job that you don't like to be able to do what you need to do.
You know what I mean? I do.
Very much.
What about your other jobs, the ones you loved so much? Well, I'll be working at the Dairy Shack but volunteering at the environmental office whenever I have free time.
And when I find out my new schedule, I'll just babysit for Evelyn whenever I'm free.
- Sounds great.
- We just wanted to thank you for your hospitality.
We're on our way to go pick up the keys to our new place.
Well, please stay for lunch.
- Really? - Absolutely.
You know you're always welcome here.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
So we think that you should give the sermon next Sunday.
Oh, no, I don't want to step on your dad's toes.
You wouldn't be, because we're asking you to.
We want to hear what you have to say.
Then I'll do it.
Of course, you'd have to run everything you want to say by my dad, but Just kidding! - Do you want some chips? - What? Well, is this how you always pictured it would be? Actually, yes.
There you go.
Pass that to your brother.
Can you hand me another? I'll have something to drink.
Pour me one, too.
Really? As long as I'm here with you, everything else looks fantastic.
Do you want an oatmeal raisin cookie? I love you.
