[DONNIE]:
Yup. Find it?

We good? Yeah?

- Get the wheel, get the wheel.

- [SAM]:
Got the wheel.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa.

(WHOOPING)

You got it! You got it.

I feel the need.

The need for f***ing speed.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Whoa, whoa.

Look at this sorry f***er over here.

[DONNIE]:
I see him.

- Should we pick him up?

- Yeah.

[DONNIE]:
This is my good deed

for the day, right'?

- Come on, bro!

- Come on.

F***ing cold as hell.

[DRIFTER]:
Sh*t.

Ah, f***.

Cold enough for you out there, boy?

[DRIFTER]:
Yeah.

Where you going, man?

Dushore.

That's up there

past Muncy, right?

Yeah.

We can take you as

far as McClure.

Take me to Dushore.

We ain't going to Dushore.

We said we can take you as far as...

(DONNIE GASPING)

What the f***!

Keep driving.

I'll cut his f***ing throat.

Take that f***ing blade off him!

Dushore or I cut his

f***ing throat.

Take that f***ing blade off him!

- (CAR SPEEDING)

- No! Sh*t!

(ALL CLAMOURING)

(KNIFE STABBING)

(DRIFTER SCREAMING)

[DONNIE]:
What are you doing?

[SAM]:
Pull over!

(WATER SLOSHING)

(SAM PANTING)

Help me.

[LYNN]:
Good.

Wanna try it again?

Okay.

Let's try it one more time.

- I pledge allegiance to the flag...

- To the flag...

- of the United States of America.

- Of the United States of America,

and to the republic

for which it stands.

[LYNN]:
One nation...

[PAIGE]:
One nation...

[LYNN]:
.. Under God...

[PAIGE]:
... Under God,

indivisible, with liberty

and justice for all.

He coming or ain't he?

I don't know.

Honey, you ready?

I don't got no good shoes, Lynn.

Oh, baby, He don't care what

kind of shoes you wearing.

[PASTOR KRAUSE]:
He breathes his

spirit into the darkness,

and He makes something good.

He sees our shadow

and He says, "Let there be light".

The point of receiving

God's word is life.

Life upon life and to

accept the blood of Jesus

that is life upon

life upon life.

- Praise be to God. Praise be to God.

- (ALL APPLAUDING)

In Mark it talks about John the Baptist,

how he went about baptizing the water.

I'm unworthy even to unlace

the thong of his sandal.

I baptize the water.

But he will baptize you

with the Holy Spirit.

Let us now proclaim

His saving Grace.

If there are sinners here

today, looking for God,

I want you to raise your hands.

Come on, raise them up high to heaven.

Raise your hands and stand up.

Come on, now. Stand up.

Receive Jesus Christ as your

light and your Saviour.

(ALL CHEERING)

Brother, I see it.

I see that look of doubt in your eye.

I know you're thinking, "I'm

just too dirty a sinner.

- "He can't forgive me".

- Yes, He can.

Yes, He can. You just knock

and be received. Come on now, stand up.
