God's Not Dead: A Light in Darkness Page #4

---

- Thanks, guys. Have a good one.

[chattering]

- Hey.

- I know, I know. I've been MIA.

It's just been

a really crazy semester.

Yeah, no,

I totally get it.

Well, look, you're more than

welcome to come down to the city

and work on our habitat

project, if you want.

Cool. Yeah.

I'll definitely try.

Did you know that there's

no hyphen in "Kit Kat"?

You mean like Kit Kat,

the candy bar?

[chuckles] Yeah. You know what?

Sorry. Forget it.

I'm being really weird.

Hey, if you need to talk

about anything or whatever,

I'm always here.

Thanks, but I'm fine, really.

See ya.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[chattering, laughing]

[woman laughs, squeals]

[hip-hop music playing]

[chuckles] See, this here is why you should

never talk religion or politics, yo.

Dude, that's all

you talk about.

Will you have Keaton text me

when you get back?

Oh, uh-uh.

Leave me out of this.

This one is on you, Adam.

If she wants to text you,

she will text you.

All right, look, you need

to sleep it off, man.

All right?

- I'm fine.

- Are you good?

Yeah.

All right, man. We're going this way.

Later.

[scoffs]

Yeah, right.

[clattering]

[spraying]

[alarm blaring]

[Dave] Hey!

- Hey! Get back here!

- [Jude] David! David, no!

[sirens wailing]

[male newscaster] The city

was in shock late last night

when a tragic fire

broke out at Saint James.

That is the controversial church

on the campus

of our very own

Hadleigh University.

Both police and fire departments

have not ruled out arson

in the fire that has claimed the life of a

visiting pastor from Ghana, Jude Mbaye.

Police and the FBI are now treating

the case as a hate-crime homicide.

Crowds have already started to gather

outside the church to pay their respects.

[man] This is why a church does

not belong on a state campus.

Favoring one religion over another?

Of course people are angry.

It just invites violence

like this.

What else is it gonna take

for people to wake up?

The church has brought nothing but

controversy to the school for years.

- It's time.

- Our enrollment is down 18 percent.

We stand to lose

$15 million this year alone.

I'm well aware of that, but we can't

pin all of this on Saint James.

Well, this university is in the midst of an

identity crisis, Tom, because of Saint James.

- We're moving backwards.

- This is wrong.

The church

is a historic landmark.

It was here

before the university.

Dave...

is a good man.

What about Jude,

the one who died?

I'm sure he was

a good man too.

Barbara,

with all due respect,

if we kick the church off campus

now after what just happened,

how do you think

that's gonna look?

We're gonna look bad

no matter what we do.
