The Shack Page #15

I still want you in my life.

I always was.

I always am.

I always will be.

That's good.

'Cause I've become especially fond of you.

(LAUGHTER)

- JESUS:
I love you, Mack.

WILLIE:
Mack?

Mack?

Hey.

Mack.

(CHUCKLING) Hey. Hey, buddy.

You're awake.

MACK:
Where am I?

You're at the hospital.

Where's Papa?

- I'll go get the doctor and the family.

- Okay.

Willie...

She was there.

Who, Mack, was where?

I gotta talk to Kate.

- Hey, hey, settle down.

- And Nan. And Josh.

- I gotta tell 'em.

- They're here.

Nurse just went to get 'em.

They're in the cafeteria.

What happened?

(CHUCKLING) Well, buddy, you were

hit by a 40-ton semi.

Last night?

No, Friday. Right after

you stole my truck.

That's impossible.

(GROANS)

I spent the weekend at the shack.

Mack, you never made it.

Yeah, I did. Yeah, I made it.

- I was there.

- Okay.

Hey, bud, this is a lot

to take in, all right?

I met God.

Papa said to tell you

he's especially fond of you.

(CHUCKLES)

- Mack?

- Rest.

Hey.

Oh.

Oh, you're okay.

I'm sorry. About everything.

Shh.

It's okay.

It's okay, we can talk

about it later, sweetie.

You just need to rest now.

I got so much to tell you about...

the lake and Papa.

And Missy.

She was there. I saw her.

It's okay.

- Hey. Hey.

- (CRYING)

(SNIFFLES)

She's more than okay.

She's happy.

She's beautiful.

She's so beautiful.

()

Hey, champ.

Hey, sweetie.

You're strong.

Thank you.

Give me and Kate a minute here.

- Yeah.

- Thank you.

Hey, you.

I know things haven't been

that great between us lately.

See, I was so lost

in my own sadness that...

I wasn't able to help you through yours.

I'm really sorry.

Kate...

none of this is your fault.

(SOBBING) I...

I never should've stood up on that boat.

(CRYING)

Look at me.

Don't think about the past.

Everything's gonna be okay.

I know what it feels like to carry

what you've been carrying.

And I'm only beginning to learn...

how to let it go.

And I'm hopin' that this is something

that we can learn to do together.

Doesn't matter what you're goin' through.

You never have to do it alone.

I love you so much.

I love you, too, Dad.

I love you so much, Kate.

WILLIE:
That afternoon,

Mack told Nan everything.

I believe you.

WILLIE:
Over the next few weeks,

Mack improved rapidly.

ALL:
Our God is an awesome God

He reigns from Heaven above

With wisdom, power, and love

Our God is an awesome God

(INAUDIBLE)

WILLIE:
I'm sure

there are some who'll wonder

if everything really happened

the way Mack recalls.

Or if any of it happened at all.

You'll have to decide

for yourself, I suppose.
