Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest Page #3

And now it's our time to grow.

For if the infidel and unbeliever

shall pass over it...

...they shall be consumed...

Bless my harvest to come!

What the hell? What?

What's going on here?

Jesus Christ!

Ow!

Argh!

Hallelujah!

- Why won't you listen?

- I won't argue about a corn patch.

If you don't cut it down, I will.

Amanda, for godsakes, it's his hobby.

This is crazy.

All right.

I will look at it tomorrow.

Thank you.

Jesus!

Hello?

Hello?

Boo!

- Gotcha, didn't I?

- Yes, you did.

- Come to harvest?

- No.

- But by the look of it, I could!

- Yeah.

- Want to try some?

- Sure.

OK.

- Smells sweet.

- Yeah.

Eli!

Where did you get this?

My papa, God rest his soul.

He developed the strain.

Guess you could say I sort of helped.

These are his only samples.

I brought them from Gatlin

to see if they'd grow here.

Well, they grow, all right. My God!

I mean, it's not even planting season!

And this is horrible soil.

And there's no blemishes, no bugs.

Eli, you grew this in only four weeks?

Do you have any idea how much

a strain like this could be worth?

Well, like my pa always said,

"You reap what you sow. "

Smells good.

Bye now.

Hah! OK!

Hey, how come your brother never joins us?

Excuse me, guys.

What did you say that for?

Hey, Eli. Why don't you come join us?

Why don't you join me?

Or would you rather eat with... with that?

"That", Eli, is a friend. All right?

It wouldn't hurt you

to make a couple, you know.

Maybe I will.

My sermon today is from Genesis 37.

Joseph dreamed a dream

and he told it to his brethren

and they hated him for it.

So much so that they sold

their own brother into slavery

and told their father he was dead.

Now, Joseph had seen a vision of the truth.

Joshua.

Shh.

You were right.

Quiet.

Joshua!

...shall often meet with defiance

from the ignorant and the wicked.

- I do need to make friends.

- Shh.

Eli Porter!

Does my sermon bore you?

Yes, Father.

If you feel you could do better,

would you like to come forward

and share your thoughts with us?

Thank you, Father.

Who was Joseph?

Who in hell cares?

I do.

And so should you.

Cos he was a child, just like us.

A child with a great vision of the world.

For Joseph loved the land

and provided food for our bellies,

timber for our shelters,

oceans to play in and air to sustain us.

Eli!

But he foresaw that group who

wants to desecrate our Mother Earth,

poison our food with pesticides

and cut down our forests just like grass...

Eli!

...choke the air with pollution

and cloud our water with sewage.

And who is this group?

His brothers.

His adult brothers.

And Joseph was not about

to let that happen!

And neither should you!
