with care.

We are here to offer you

strength and hope...

but you should probably give up

on that check, ma'am.

I just keep

having these thoughts...

these bad thoughts

about other people.

Well, I'm told when you feel

the world growing small...

and yourself great,

read the 19th Psalm.

Yeah, does that even

make sense ?

The prayer for recovery...

could you do that one, please?

It really made a difference.

Yes, hold, please.

Got it, a prayer for help.

WO:

It has to be early admission

otherwise the whole plan...

Wait, wait, that's your SA score... and you're worried?

Um, I'll put in the prayer

request, Carrie, but I think

you're gonna be fine.

Keep the faith. Mm-hm.

Hey, hey.

Hey, busy day.

Prayer for strength?

Yeah... what?

Prayer for strength, I heard

you... I heard you with a

caller...

That daughter's marriage on the

rocks, something like that.

Uh-huh.

And you so clearly stated that

she needed prayer for strength.

And you offered it...

Right.

But you didn't circle it,

you see right here

on the prayer order form?

You circled the 37th Psalm,

Cora, that's like a totally

different area.

Did you realize

that you did that?

That's the opposite just about.

Jeffrey, everyone

has a mix up now and then.

Cora's been with us

just under a month.

No, no. 37th, I'm so sorry.

I must not have had

enough coffee.

Thanks, Jeff.

Jesus.

Finding your groove?

This is about as ungroovy

as you can get.

I don't know, I guess...

Answering the phone

is half of it.

I mean, don't quote me,

but most of these people

just want to be listened to.

If only it were that simple.

Well, I don't know,

maybe it is.

And don't worry about Jeff.

If he doesn't have one issue

a day to get overly anxious

about, it's not a day.

It's a bit of an understatement

I'd say.

Um, do you think I could go out

the side and go for a quick cig

It's Thursday, Bill's at judo.

Go for it.

Thanks.

Be back in ten.

Hi, excuse me.

Hi.

Uh, I don't know

if I'm in the right place.

Are you looking for Bill?

Do you start today

or something?

Uh, no.

You, uh...

What?

Do you answer the phone

in there?

Uh, yeah, I'm on a break.

I'm gonna go.

Sorry, sorry, I...

I've been driving all day.

Well, there's an IHOP

like three feet that way.

I'm looking for someone who

answers the phone in there.

Her name's Cora.

She's got the same voice.

I think you must be confused.

I don't think so.

I mean, it's you, right?

You're the one I spoke to.

My name is Chase. I called you

a couple of days ago.

You answered, you said

a prayer, it went away.

Uh, do you remember?

No, no, this isn't happening.

I mean, it was you, right?
