Moving northeast towards Allentown,

Reading and Lancaster.

(WIND WHOOSHING)

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

Paige.

- Come on, Paige, you gotta get up.

- (CLAPPING HANDS)

Wake up.

Come on, come on, come on.

Baby?

Baby, what are you doing?

(PAIGE SCREAMING)

I know.

Hey.

Stand back.

(FIRING)

(TV STATIC BUZZING)

(STORM CRASHING)

Get in.

[SAM]:
Bug.

You hear me? You hear me, bug?

We're going to play

the game, bug.

[PAIGE]:
Whale!

I'm thinking of a snail, bug.

I'm thinking of a whale.

Good job, bug. Good job.

You said whale.

I'm thinking of a pail.

You said pail.

I'm thinking of a tail.

Good job, bug. Good job.

(HAMMERING)

Sam!

Hey, Billy.

Tried ringing you, but

your phone's down.

That damn twister touched down eight

places between here and Noblesville.

Chewed up 600 homes in

Fulton County alone.

Got all the work you can

handle, if you're interested.

I'm interested.

But I'm putting my

own crew together.

We go 50-50 on the jobs.

You cover me and any

heavy machines I need.

60-40 till you pay me

back on the tools.

Then we go half and

you got a deal.

I can still see.

- [SAM:
] Keep them closed.

- What are you doing, Sam Childers?

- Ready?

- Yes.

[PAIGE]:
Yes.

Open them up.

[PAIGE]:
Where are we?

We're home, Paige.

That's ours?

Go on, check it out.

Your room's upstairs.

It's the small one.

[SAM]:
That's everything.

[LYNN]:
You get

what's in the trunk?

Yup.

(SAM PANTING)

Lord, you are filthy,

Sam Childers.

Who you calling filthy, woman?

You.

- Now you're filthier than I am.

- (LYNN LAUGHING)

Come on, give me a little shake.

Mmm-mmm.

I don't do that no more.

- Uh-huh?

- Mmm-mmm.

Not even for your old man?

(LYNN LAUGHS)

Maybe just a little bit.

There you go.

You're naughty.

Come here.

(PIANO PLAYING)

[ALL]:
There is power, power

wonder-working power

In the precious

blood of the Lamb

(ALL CHEERING)

Hallelujah.

Today we have a special guest.

It is my pleasure to present

to you Pastor Relling

from the Kilangire Christian

Mission in Uganda, Africa.

Pastor Relling.

Thank you, Pastor

Krause, and thank you,

brothers and sisters, for inviting

me into this house of the Lord.

I'm here today to talk to you about

your Christian brothers and sisters,

families just like yours, half a world

away, that desperately need your help.

Though they might

appear to be strangers,

living a life very

different from our own,

in God's eyes, every

man is a brother,

and every soul is deserving

of your Christian charity.

Don't move.

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

Be cool.

What the f***, man.

What are you doing here?

I'm here for that

boy right there.

You gonna get in

the way of that?

(GROANING)
