Some days, everything matters.

Some days, nothin' matters.

I want you

to make a commitment-

every day for the next 30 days.

Deal?

I'll see you tomorrow, same time.

- Thank you, Doctor.

- My pleasure.

- Monica.

- Dutch. Good to see you.

- I'm sorry I wasn't here when you arrived.

- Oh.

I was at a conference. I'm late for

a meeting, but I need to talk to you.

- Can you walk with me?

- Yeah. Yeah.

It appears your time

at Oxford has paid off.

You've even picked up an accent.

Good for business.

I know a mind

is a terrible thing to waste.

- How are you and Kevin?

- Miserable, as usual.

But I might as well

get to the point.

We won't be able to pay

the salary you requested.

I "requested"? Oh, you mean

the salary you promised me.

No one's deceived you.

The offer was-

I moved my family up here from Atlanta.

Now you're telling me there's no money?

Every contract has contingencies-

subject to pending grants

and all the fine print.

But that's beside the point.

I want you here.

And I will do everything in my power

to keep you here.

Like old times, right?

Monica, that's inappropriate.

I'm happily married.

- Happily, so am I.

- To one of my best friends.

As if Kevin would mind.

Nothing's changed.

We need to have

this conversation later.

Come to our surprise

anniversary party.

It's Sunday afternoon

at the Academy of Fine Arts.

How can it be a surprise

when you already know about it?

There are no secrets between us, Dutch.

You know that.

Ryan Chambers is hosting it for us.

I'm sorry.

We go to church on Sunday.

Your presence is required,

not requested, Dr. Mass.

#Praise the Lord #

# Come on, come on #

# Come on, come on #

# Come by me #

# O Lord, come by me #

# O Lord, come by me #

Whoo! Yeah! Come on! Sing! Yeah!

# Yeah #

Hallelujah!

- Thank God!

- # Ooh #

Praise God!

- Let the church say "Amen!"

- Amen!

- Yes!

- Hallelujah!

I'm talkin' about the land

of the designer walk and the designer talk.

The designer gowns

and the designer frowns.

Designer husbands, designer wives.

Designer smiles, designer styles.

All designed by the one who knows...

the weakness of the flesh

is temptation.

The flesh may call your name...

but only God can call your soul!

Only God can call your soul!

- Yes! Surrender, rich man.

- Hallelujah!

Surrender, poor man.

Surrender, beggar man.

Surrender, thief.

- Praise the Lord!

- Surrender.

When God calls you, surrender,

adulterer.

Surrender, liar.

Surrender, kings,

the presidents and Indian chiefs.

- Amen!

- Surrender!

- The time is drawing near for you

to surrender. - Glory be to God!

Surrender.

- Thank you, Heavenly Father.

- Yes.

Now, anyone who wants
