I'm gonna go back...

You said... you said

a prayer for strength.

It was you. You answered.

You saved me.

Yes!

Free point!

I'm just not sure she's ready.

Was Jesus ready

when he parted the Red Sea?

Wasn't that Moses?

Jeff, you're missing the point.

The question is how are you

feeling? Do you feel

the need to guide?

Oh, she's been here a month and

she's clearly still struggling.

Well, exactly,

time's a wasting .

I don't know, I just think

maybe we should just give her

some more time in the light.

Oh, blah, blah, blah, blah,

blah. Jeff, look at me.

Go for it, dude,

be her shepherd.

It's like Zeta-Jones

and Douglas.

If he hadn't gone for her

Billy Bob-style...

he wouldn't be married

to that New Zealand hottie.

Oh!

Isn't she Welsh?

Georgia!

Aren't they divorced?

I'm telling you, that Serena,

she may be tiny, but she

is mighty.

Well, set her up, set her up.

Pop the ball! Pop it!

Listen to me, quit stalling

and go for it.

If anyone can save that soul,

it's you. Now, go!

What's up, playa?

You good, you good?

Okay.

Not a lot of air in here, huh?

No, none.

You're looking good out there,

it's so good!

If I knew jerseys were optional

I would have wore my bikini,

too.

Not really.

I'm sorry about earlier.

I respect your right to serve

however you wish.

Okay, come on, girl.

Okay, um, thank you.

Serve... I wasn't even

planning that.

Good one.

Yeah.

So, I know you got a lot

going on in there...

that I don't really

know about...

but the thing is...

I just think maybe I can help

you find your way back.

My way back?

Yeah.

Is that what this is all about?

Only a softened heart

can accept God's forgiveness.

A softened heart...

Look, I...

I don't need your help.

I don't need your help,

or Bill's help...

or any of you... people.

Okay? I'm fine.

Totally fine.

All right, Cora, you're up!

Sh*t.

There you are!

So you guys want

to get out of here?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I know a little after hours

party we can get in.

Oh, yeah?

You want to join, too,

pretty?

Huh? Come on.

Yeah, let's do this.

Oh, yay!

Let's go!

Oh, f***.

Cora!

Do it! Yeah!

Thank you for calling

Dial-a-Prayer...

the direct line of

communication between you

and our Lord God in Heaven.

We are honored to serve him

and pray for you.

You have reached us

during off-hours.

Please call us again

between 8:
00 AM and 4:00 PM.

Or if you like, press 1

and wait for the beep.

Thank God, Cora,

I have been so worried.

I just need to change my

clothes, Mom.

Can you imagine for one second

what must have been going

through my head?

Leave me alone!

Cora!

And I certainly couldn't call

the police, could I?

Your father pulled a lot
