Grace Unplugged Page #2

(GROANS)

No, but I grew up 10

minutes from Graceland.

Oh, now I get it.

That makes sense.

My parents wanted Hank Williams,

- (IMITATING ELVIS) but I gave them Elvis.

- (ALL LAUGH)

- Oh. I loved Elvis.

- Mmm-hmm.

Yeah, he was just gospel enough,

my parents didn't worry

about me too much.

At first, anyway.

Hey, have a good night,

you guys.

- Hi, sweetie.

- Hey, baby. You going to youth group?

- Yeah.

- MICHELLE:
All right.

Hey, can you fill the car up?

You can use the card.

- Yup.

- Don't forget.

- I won't.

- Hey, hey, come here.

Why don't you do it on the way

so you don't forget tonight?

Dad, I won't forget. Okay?

(CHUCKLES)

Your kids ever act like that?

Come on, I'm a pastor.

My kids are perfect.

- SHARON:
Yeah, that's funny.

- (ALL LAUGH)

We're ready to eat. Let's do it,

come on. Let's eat, baby.

MAN IN MOVIE:
Whoa, is that a potbellied

pig in our apartment?

- (ALL LAUGH)

- Dad, he's our new roommate.

I thought that was your sister.

That's disgusting.

I taught him a trick.

Watch, he can shake.

Come on, Bacon.

That's impressive.

Is Desert Song the one you wanted to do?

Yes, I love that song.

Hi, babe, how was youth group?

Fine. It was really good.

Good.

Did you eat something?

Yeah, I grabbed something.

All right. Oh, I talked to Rachel's mom.

Do you know Rachel

is starting Monroe this fall?

She got a scholarship.

Yeah, I know.

Um, anyway, she said all

the classes are listed online,

so if you want to check it out.

Okay, cool.

I'm gonna go crash.

All right.

Good night, sweetheart.

Good night.

You fill the car up?

Uh...

No.

Dad, as soon as I got in the car,

Paige called, okay,

and she was sobbing.

There was nothing else I could do.

Look, it's fine,

I'll fill it up right now.

Nope.

- Okay.

- (KEYS JANGLE)

Do you see what I'm

talking about, Mom?

Grace, honey,

this one's on you.

You broke your word. Again.

Okay. I'm gonna go to bed.

Good night.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Come in.

(DOOR OPENS)

You left your Bible in the car.

Oh, thanks.

Is there something

you wanna tell me?

What? No.

Nothing? Nothing at all?

Okay, I'm sorry.

I didn't put gas in the car,

I'm a horrible person.

That's not what I'm talking about.

Then what, Dad?

This is unbelievable!

I don't fill the car up

and you look at me like

I'm a serial killer!

Ditching youth group

for a movie is not the point,

but that little song and dance

that you gave your mother...

Look at me.

That little song and dance

you gave your mother down there

about youth group

was great, uh-huh...

You will not disrespect my wife

like that, not in this house.

These lies, this pattern.

You know it's sin, Grace.

Is that how we raised you?
