Dial-a-Prayer, how may

I pray for you today?

There it is. All right, good.

All right,

just listen intently. Go.

I just don't have the energy

to keep looking for a new wife.

Well, anything is possible

with God!

Now personalize, personalize!

...Mr. Madison.

There you go.

And, if you're interested

in signing up...

Good, that's great,

now go for it, now!

...then I'd be happy to sign

you up for the morning

meditation.

It's an odd choice, but that's

fine, just keep going.

The morning meditation may

indeed bring you to a closer

place...

with our Lord God in heaven.

Remember, what is done for him

in secret, shall be rewarded

openly!

Nice!

Marlene, such an improvement

from last week's debacle.

Oh, thank you, , that

means so much coming from you.

Why do I always have to play

the boring white ?

Okay, Cora, are you ready

to give it a shot?

Jeff, I'd like to phone in.

I've done a little dialogue

work.

Sure thing, yeah!

Looks like we got time

for one more. Here we go.

Good, and... there.

Um, Dial-a-Prayer

Louder.

Cora, how may I pray for you...

A little too much.

I'm lost. I can't find the

strength to get along!

And I think I'm gonna do it!

Um...

I will... today.

Okay, um, well, Miss...

Jeremies.

Don't help her.

Miss Jeremies, maybe

I could offer you a prayer

for protection.

Oh...

No, rather a prayer... something

from the New Testament.

I'm falling down

into the pit of hell!

My life has no meaning!

Can't you just...

Hang on, code word "can't",

grab on to can't.

Can't... um, well,

Miss Jeffries, uh...

"can't" is not a word that

exists in the kingdom of heaven

Um, it just doesn't,

so... uh...

um, I, uh...

Sorry.

That's fine. Okay, everybody,

let's just take a breather,

all right?

We have to get back

on active call duty anyways.

So, uh, Cora,

you take the lunch run.

The lunch run...

Please.

We will try again another

session later in the week.

Does that sound good?

MARY:

They are gonna love

you there...

once they figure out

how gifted you are.

I imagine you'll be

promoted or something.

I mean, opportunities come

in the least expected places,

they say.

Mom...

Listen, it's just us

for dinner tonight...

your father is switching planes

in Cleveland or something.

Oh, oh, my other

let me call you back.

Oh... sh*t.

Cora? Is that you?

Hey. Sorry if I woke you up.

I have the early-riser shift.

Did you just get here?

They said you needed

close monitoring.

Mom! I'm 26 years old,

I'm fine.

And I should... I should be

going, because I don't want to

get a demerit slip or anything.

You can't afford to make

a single mistake, Cora.

I want you to remember

something.
