Do You Believe? Page #2

I'm ready.

Are you?

You know what

I'm gonna do?

Why don't you tell me?

I'm going to pray for you.

All of you.

Yeah.

You do that,

you old fool.

Yeah, I'm a fool...

...a fool for Christ.

Me and Paul!

Paul and me!

Excuse me.

Are you okay?

What do you think?

Look, I know

you don't know me.

Is there anything you need?

What are you,

some kind of freak?

No.

I'm just someone

who wants to help.

Yeah, you're all scared.

You thought he was gonna

swing that thing at me, huh?

You thought he was

gonna use his Jesus powers?

Hey, Pretty Boy,

you awful quiet, brother.

What are you thinking?

That old man,

he was ready to die, yo.

And what if he's right?

What if we're going up

against God himself?

Hey, that's funny, dawg.

Forget it.

Yeah, that's crazy.

You hungry?

Okay.

Matthew, you promised.

You can't just

bring her here.

I know.

I'm sorry.

I should've called first.

Well, I can't just

turn her away.

I'm not asking you to.

Just can't have her

stay here.

I'm sorry, I can't.

Thank you.

You're all set.

Great, thanks.

Well, here you go.

I'll come to check on you

in a couple days.

I want you to eat

and get some rest.

Take care of yourself.

Hey, thank you

for helping us before.

I'm really sorry

if I was rude or anything.

I didn't mean to be.

No, don't worry about it.

I'm fine.

I'm just glad you got

your Lily taken care of.

How is she?

I'm feeling better already.

Yeah, she's gonna be good.

They gave her

some medicine, so...

Shelter's closed.

Okay.

We'll be okay.

And that's gonna be

a problem, isn't it?

No, we have a car.

We're good.

I know it's none

of my business,

but I don't think

that's such a good idea.

I mean, she needs

to stay warm, doesn't she?

Yeah.

This may sound

completely crazy,

but I only live

a couple of blocks from here.

If you want,

you and Lily can stay the

night.

Oh, no, no.

I've got someplace else

to stay.

That's a very considerate

offer, but I'm afraid--

It's okay, Mommy.

Joe wouldn't hurt us.

He's our guardian angel.

Aren't you, Joe?

I love butterflies.

Carlos!

You're back.

You're back!

Why didn't you call

or something?

Ah, you know me.

Look at you.

This time for real?

They're not

sending you back?

No, deployment's over.

I'm a nasty civilian again.

Thank God.

Come on in.

Come on in.

You could've rung

the bell, you know.

Bobby's home.

Nah, I didn't

want to wake the boys.

It's not much.

Pretty basic, really.

Bathroom, bedroom, kitchen.

Keys.

You sure your friend's

gonna be able to take you in

at this late hour?

I promise.

He's always there for me.

Don't forget

your toothbrush, Joe.

Good call, Lily.

You gonna be all right?
