You have a big day tomorrow.

Sleep tight.

As we're nearing

the end of our broadcast,

I'd like to leave you

with this message...

Speak, and the Lord will listen.

Open your heart

and pray to the Lord,

and He will answer your prayers.

You're listening

to G OD Radio, 91.6 FM.

Good night, and God Bless.

May I? It's very windy

in your stairwell.

I think I'm getting bronchitis again.

Please come in.

Can I get you something warm?

Yeah, a 12-ounce, medium-rare

steak with chips and salad.

Or a tea.

I have Earl Grey,

peach, chamomile...

Whichever, as long as it's hot.

- Hey!

- Sorry.

Are you an angel?

No. I'm a giant talking pigeon.

Is there a God?

Is there a God?

Are you one of those atheist,

nihilistic, good-for-nothing,

left-wing Communists?

God, no!

I was just very curious about Him.

Is He tall?

I had a vision once...

Tea first, visions later.

I'm dying here.

Ron? Hi. It's me.

It's really early.

I guess you're sleeping.

I'm not.

Call me.

Bye.

Message deleted.

And there are

no poor people in heaven?

Poor people?

Everyone in heaven has a limo.

And who drives their limos?

All sorts of people.

Especially foreigners without visas.

And the houses?

How do the houses look?

Have you ever been

to the Sunshine Coast?

No.

Well, you must.

It's something else.

And heaven?

Exactly like the Sunshine Coast.

To be honest,

that's a bit disappointing.

That's because

you've never been there.

And the people?

Are they lonely?

It's a real shame

you don't have doughnuts.

The cookies aren't tasty?

Tasty?

Tasty?

It's not a matter of taste.

It's a matter of volume.

Do you want me

to go get doughnuts?

No, I wouldn't

want to impose. I'll go.

Would you happen to have 5 bucks?

Maybe 10.

I'll get cigarettes, too.

And you'll be right back?

- So help me God.

- When will you be back?

In a while.

I have some errands to run.

Good deeds and such?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Next time you try

to pull off something like this,

I'll see to it that you get fired.

Come on, Sammy.

The man was blind.

How could I take his TV?

F*** him! He's blind!

He doesn't need a TV.

Okay, man. My mistake.

Lenny, if you want

to be a professional...

Okay, I got it.

- You know what your problem is?

- Hi, Lenny.

Who the f*** are you?

It's my brother.

You said he could come

try out with us today.

- Hi. I'm Dave.

- Did I say that?

Now, where does this loser live?

I hope

it's not someone we know.

Hey, do you know

where Marcus Portman lives?

Do you have a light?

- And a cigarette?

- Huh?

Give me a cigarette,

and I'll tell you where he lives.

And if I didn't have cigarettes,

you wouldn't tell me?

Wow, you're the sharpest tool
