Come on home to Jesus. Yes.

Stand up. All right. All right.

Hallelujah.

We're gonna wash away our sins

in the blood of the lamb.

We're gonna baptize right now.

Come on down. Come on down right now.

Come on down.

Everybody. Come on down.

Come on down, brother and son.

Praise be to God.

We're gonna save some folks tonight.

Yes, come on down now.

Come on, Brother.

We're gonna save you now.

Come on in. Yes, I want you

to cross your arms now.

Cross your arms. Yes.

Stand right here. Okay.

Upon your confession of faith and

your obedience to the word of God,

regarding His death,

burial and resurrection.

I do indeed baptize you in the

name of our Lord Jesus Christ

for the remission of your sins.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Welcome home, Brother.

Welcome home. You're saved.

Hallelujah! Praise God.

[PAIGE]:

When we've

Been there 10,000 years

Bright shining as

The sun

We've no less days

To sing God's praise

Than when

We first begun

Sam.

Hey.

Here you go.

Thanks for the work.

Hey, you need me

to stay on, I can.

We're gonna be moving

inside next week.

I'll give you a call if something breaks.

You do good work.

Thanks.

And out of the houses

the rats came tumbling.

Brother rats, sister rats.

And husband rats followed

their little rat wives.

Till they came to

the ragin' water,

where they drowned and

lost their lives.

I don't deal bikes. You might have a

better shot if you take it over to Pitt,

or maybe down to Philly.

I gotta sell it today.

I got something in Pitt.

But you gotta have

some college for that.

Well, well, well.

I was wondering when I'd

see you again, man.

How you doing, my brother?

I'm doing.

Yeah.

I've missed you.

(CHUCKLES)

I heard you found Jesus.

Yeah, a little bit.

Hallelujah.

Hey, Jackie.

Give me a mash and a bud.

- Hey, Sam.

- Hey, Jackie.

You want something?

No. I'm good.

Uh-huh.

Hey, you know...

that old Indian didn't die that night.

What?

Yeah, saw it on the TV.

Somebody picked the poor bastard up.

Took him to the emergency room.

(LAUGHS)

Can you believe that sh*t?

God was looking out for both

of us, I suppose, then.

Here's to Him.

Yeah.

I didn't hear you pull up.

No.

I got Lynn's car.

She broke down on you?

(SAM SIGHS HEAVILY)

I sold her.

No f***ing way, man.

Should have come and seen

your old buddy first.

I know. I know.

You want a taste?

(VEHICLE APPROACHING)

(CAR DOOR SLAMMING SHUT)

I'm sorry I'm late.

Gave blood over in Pitt.

It's all I got.

[ANNOUNCER]:
We're tracking what now

looks like a tornado outbreak.

We've now confirmed

two tornadoes

that have touched down

in the Harrisburg area.

Two touched down

near Harrisburg.
