The devil is messing with your mind.

But she says I'm just like daddy.

Nothing wrong with that.

Your Dad is a good man.

Is Daddy coming home tonight?

What did I tell you about your hand?

You don't want to go to hell. Do you?

No m'am.

I just want to say that it is a shame

that people don't accept other people

for who they are. They don't have to

label somebody based on their

sexuality. I am a human being like

everyone else.

The offer still stands,

but it's modified.

Since you like to do landscape,

I want you to do the ultimate

landscape. I want you to make your

way all the way down to lighthouse

point. The southernmost tip of the

island, very difficult to get to and

paint what you see... exactly what you

see and bring it back.

Why there?

Someone told me that a journey brings

us face to face with ourselves and

maybe then I can see you in your

painting.

Hey Romeo.

Hey Lena. How you doing? I didn't know

you were coming to Eleuthera.

Yeah, church business.

Couldn't get a flight.

Same here.

He's getting big.

Yes, too fast. Ralph and I can't

believe how fast he's growing.

How is he? Good?

Wonderful. He may join later.

I better get some sleep.

I'm tired. Too early.

Daybreak.

Ralph, why didn't you come

home last night?

I am on the mailboat to Eleuthera and

if you care anything about this

relationship you will find

your way here. Bye.

- Move man!

- I'm sorry man!

You can't drive eh? Move your

f***ing car out the road.

I'm sorry.

I can't move this.

I can see that.

You need some help?

Please.

I think we are gonna need to

change seats.

Where are you going?

Anna Ross's place.

How are you going to get home?

Don't worry about me. Lucky for you

I live right around the corner.

Oh. Ok.

Hey, do I know you?

You sat across from me

on the ride over here.

No I mean before the boat. You went to

Bahamas Senior High, right?

Yeah, you are the painter Jonny, shy

silent one always kept to yourself.

I never forget nobody's face, man

Remember me?

I think you got me confused with

somebody else.

No man. I don't know too many skinny

white Bahamian boys and besides,

I never forget nobody face man.

I'm not white.

Well umm... I'll be seeing you.

Thanks... Romeo.

Ahhh! I knew you remembered me.

Thanks for the ride.

No problem.

Give me your motherfucking wallet.

(laughs)

That was me at my scariest.

You don't have to be afraid to shake

my hand.

Welcome to Eleuthera.

Good to be here. I wish it was under

different circumstances, but the

Lord's business is the Lord's

business. When he says it's time to go

it's time to go.

So, what exactly do you need?

What is your plan?

I'm working with the Save The Bahamas.
