The Seventh Sign Page #3

He didnt need much help.

About all he had was a suitcase.

But he did have

first and last months rent in cash.

Did you invite him to dinner?

I did. He said, "No, thanks."

Of course, he didnt use so many words.

I have to admit. The guy is out there.

Hes a little bit different.

I don't know, I think he's just quiet.

Hes quiet all right.

He doesn't have a stereo or a television.

He doesnt even want us to hook up a telephone.

Really? Thats weird.

Whats weird is that

he got a short-wave radio.

Hey. You think hes a spy?

The spearhead of an invasion force

that will take over and bore us to death!

Youre such a nut. Toss that up.

- Where are you going?

- Im sure you did a great job inviting him.

Looks tossed to me.

- Jesus, you scared me to death.

- You snuck up on me!

I was trying not to scare you.

What are you doing?

Look at this. Isnt this wild?

Yeah, it is strange.

Davids in the house.

He changed his mind about dinner.

Maybe hed change it again

if he saw you snooping.

Im not snooping.

Im looking.

So after all that,

the senator wouldn't even see me.

This poor kid will die in the gas chamber

and I get this aide who tells me...

...he doesnt think their involvement

is appropriate.

Why?

Because hes a politician.

He doesnt wanna get involved in anything that could ever

eventually can come back and bite his fat ass.

- It's typical.

- It's typical bullshit.

What would you do?

Me? What do you mean?

Would you stop it?

Of course I would, but I have no control.

I cant do anything.

Maybe you can.

She cant do anything, David.

Thats what I'm saying, nobody listens

anymore. I'm the kid's attorney...

...and they wont listen to me.

So they won't listen to Abby.

Maybe you are right.

It's not up to us.

- How about dessert?

- Please.

Jesus Christ! Look at this!

Get a broom.

Please don't!

I wasnt going to hurt it.

Im sorry.

That was weird.

Do you know...

...theres a story about a new-born child

and the sparrow's song.

It's ancient.

Hebrew.

They believed that in Heaven...

...Gods mansion has many halls.

And that one of these halls

is the Hall of Souls.

It's called The Guf.

"The Guf"?

They say whenever a baby is born...

...this is where its soul comes from.

As the soul descends from heaven...

...only the sparrows can see it.

So they sing.

So whenever you hear a sparrow singing,

the baby is about to be born?

The Guf. I like it.

Ill get the dessert.

- Would you like some coffee?

- Yes, please.

Wasnt that the sweetest story?

It sounded like a bunch of guff to me.

"The second angel

poured his bowl into the sea.

"And it became as the blood

of a dead man...

"...and every living thing...

"...died that was in the sea."
