[laughing]

- [alarm blaring]

- What was that?

I don't know.

[alarm continues blaring]

- Hey! Hey! Get back here!

- David!

David, no!

[sighs]

- [Dave] Ah.

- You call the police. I'll shut off the alarm.

Yeah.

Yeah, this is, uh, Reverend David Hill.

I'm a pastor at Saint James.

[beeping]

[alarm stops]

Well, no,

it's not an emergency.

It's just a... uh... It was a

broken window to the basement.

- [grunts]

- [shouts]

[alarm blaring]

Jude?

Jude?

[coughing]

Jude?

Jude!

- Oh, no.

- David.

You're gonna be okay.

All right?

- Stay with me.

- Okay.

[grunting]

Come on.

[grunting]

[grunting continues]

[grunts]

[alarm continues blaring]

[grunts]

Jude, I'm gonna get you

out of here. Okay?

- Okay.

- Stay with me.

Please, God, help me.

[grunting]

[grunting continues]

No, no. [coughing]

[coughing]

Dave.

Don't talk, brother.

Don't talk. Just stay with me.

Help is coming.

Hold on, Jude. It's okay.

[speaking Swahili]

What?

[Swahili continues]

- What are you saying? What does that mean?

- [sirens approaching]

- [exhales]

- Jude?

Jude.

- Jude?

- [horns honking]

Please, God, no.

Jude! Help!

[coughs]

Don't leave me, man.

Jude.

Jude, no.

[crying]

[siren wailing]

[siren wailing fades]

[woman]

I'm so tired of all the noise.

Everyone yelling.

On the news.

In the classroom.

Even in church.

[gasps]

I can barely hear you anymore.

Are you even there?

I hope you are.

'Cause I feel so lost, God.

I'm starting to feel pretty dumb

talking to myself

when you don't talk back,

so...

wherever you are...

I'm still here.

Hey.

- Hi.

- [kisses]

I stopped at Stella's,

got you the good stuff.

- My hero. Thank you.

- I know. You're welcome.

- How was your day?

- Good.

- [phone buzzing]

- Wow, this looks, uh, fun.

You can get it

if you want.

- It's Sunday.

- Oh, that's right.

You're...

"in church."

- Don't be a jerk.

- Why don't you just tell 'em?

Adam, my parents would be devastated if

they found out I was even questioning.

- Okay, you have no idea.

- Yeah, I do.

I did my time as a kid,

remember?

I just got out

sooner than you did.

Okay, can we not

talk about this?

Sure.

I get it.

What you're

going through.

I really do.

Okay, go to your study group.

I have work to do.

- Are you kicking me out?

- Mm-hmm.

Fine. See you later.

Okay. Bye.

Thanks for the snack.

[door opens]

- [woman] Okay, wait, wait. So, let me get this straight.

- [laughter]

So, you're saying that because the

Kit Kat logo doesn't have a hyphen,

it proves there are

multiple realities?

Hey, look, you're oversimplifying,

but, yes, exactly.

How am I oversimplifying?

That's exactly what you said.
