LEFT BEHIND:

Hello.

Hi Mom!

Chloe, welcome home.

You're home, right?

Yup, safe and sound.

Your brother has been

bouncing off the walls.

Oh, I can't wait to see him.

So, is everything up for

dad's surprise party?

Um, Honey, I'm afraid your dad's not

gonna be here when you get home.

What?

Why not? Mom, what happened?

He got called in to work.

Did you tell him I was coming?

- Yeah, Honey, I did but...

They called this morning

and, eh...

What is his flight?

It's London. - 3:35?

Honey, don't make it hard...

- Tell Raymie I'll be home before supper.

You must feel like

you've seen it all.

You seemed to be in the middle of a new

disaster every time I turned on the news.

Oh, what is the old adage? 'It's a

dirty job but someone's gotta do it'.

Can I ask you a question,

Mr. Williams?

Yeah, sure.

Do you read the Bible?

- Well...

I guess not as often as you do.

Well, Matthew 24:7 says

there shall be famines,

pestilences and earthquakes

in diverse places.

All of these things, the disasters,

the wars, they are all signs.

So, God knew all these things

were going to happen?

Honey, God knows everything.

So, why didn't He do something?

I mean, He is God, right? Couldn't

He stop the flood if He wanted to?

Maybe, sent a little

rain for the famine...

It's a fallen world. God created it perfect

and we destroyed it on the first set...

Who destroyed it? Me?...

You? Him?

The Lord works...

- ... in mysterious ways, I know.

But somehow, people keep believing

He loves them. Now, that is mysterious.

Sorry to interrupt.

Going my way?

I enjoyed your speech.

Yeah, sorry about that...

- Now, don't be.

That was really good.

I'm assuming it's not your first time

making it.

Well, the first time aloud.

- Cameron Williams.

'Buck'... my friends.

I'm... eh, Chloe Steele.

'Chloe' to my friends.

So, you're in college.

Wow, that investigative journalism.

It really pays off.

I just wanted to say thank you

for rescuing me from that nutty lady.

Oh, thank my mom.

She, as you would,

have been rehearsing for it.

Oh, is she... pretty?

Nutty...

Actually, I was looking

through the thesaurus I've

found this morning, I've

decided to go with 'Wacko'.

Wacko?

I like that word, 'Wacko'.

Can I buy you a coffee?

No, no, I'm fine.

Come on!

What if I throw in one of those fantastic

little boxes with the strawberry jam...

Oh, my God...

Wow, well, that is... that's tempting.

Yes? - Hmm hmm.

But I'm waiting for someone, and he

should be here any minute.

My Dad.

I flew home to surprise him

for his birthday, but...

something came up.

Well, have a safe flight...

Hi, sweet heart! - Hi!

What are you doing here? -Well, I came

home to surprise you on your birthday.

Honey, I just got called in.

There's no way I can get out of it now.

Yeah, that's what mom said...

- I wished that

you would've told me

you would be coming.

Oh wait... you, you're Cameron Williams,

Holy cow...

So you two? - Oh, we just met.

Hi, it's a pleasure, Captain.

- Ray.

Well, I'm gonna let you two

catch up, yeah. And eh...

it was really nice

to meet you, Chloe.

You look great. - Thank you.

Let's talk somewhere.

How was school? - It's Good.

Good, yeah...

What?

You know the first thing I thought

when mom told me you're not gonna be home?

It's that you left.

I mean, really left. Just

packed up your bags, slammed

the doors, squealed the

tyres and just drove off.

Your mom and I are fine, Chloe.

It's okay, I don't blame you.

You don't blame me for what?

- For running away.

But I didn't run away.

You said, you thought I run away.

Who is that girl? - What girl?

That flight attendant,

beautiful, blonde one.

Flight attendant... I worked with

dozens of flight attendants...

Don't even know her name.

If this was a year ago, you know before mom

drank with collate, you'd be home by now.

We would be all be home,

like a family or something.

Chloe, I... I think you

know that your mom and

I got married when we

were both very young...

and the changes that a person goes

through between 20 and 50 are enormous.

She's just doing what she believes is right

and maybe you should cut her some slack.

Me?... How about you?

You're the one on the way to London.

You are a one who has not been home

since Christmas.

I have school.

- And I have a job.

I just feel like she's always trying

to shove it down my throat.

I know... Look, I know that this past year,

has been something of an adjustment, but...

She is your mother, and I think it'd

be good if you, no, if we both...

could be a little more supportive.

You missed her... - Yes, I do.

But hey, if she's gonna run off with

another man, why not Jesus, huh?

Where is your ring?

It's in my car.

I never wear it when I fly.

Chloe, your mom means the

world to me, I'm not

going to do anything to mess it up.

Okay?

And I have to go.

We'll talk when I get back.

Not gonna be here

when you get back.

Oh, but you'll gonna be back home

again soon, right?

Here...

The car is in the usual

spot, and go easy on mom.

She'll come around.

I love you.

Are you okay?

Yes, yes, I'm fine.

Investigative journalist, remember?

Right. - Yeah.

So...

I'm just a little disappointed,

that's all.

It was a big deal to me.

All of us together, having a good time.

Well, I'm sure you would have stayed

if he could.

The turkey... a vulture
