that ain't here.

Yeah, well, you're just

looking for a f***ing drink.

F***in'...

Go get your drink, Wayne.

Get the f*** out...

F*** it.

You're a

Southern boy, aren't ya?

Let me guess.

Louisiana.

- New Orleans.

- New Orleans. Whoo!

Devil sure runs wild

down there, don't he?

Think I even ran with him

a time or two.

You don't seem surprised.

I think I got you

pretty well figured out.

You do, huh?

Yeah.

Hide up here,

feed these people bullshit.

You think that, huh?

Just one big power play,

and you get off on it.

Oh.

Well, maybe you're right.

Sometimes I forget what this

must look like from the outside.

You know that Neil Young

song "Sugar Mountain"?

What?

You know that song?

- Yeah.

- I like Neil Young.

Used to.

And that song's

all about being young forever.

Oh, to live on

Sugar Mountain

With the...

I can't remember all the words.

But I do remember...

You can't be 20

On Sugar Mountain

Though you're thinking that

you're leaving there too soon

Leaving there too soon

I was 19 when my daddy died.

It was a jet black, son of a b*tch timber.

Got him real good on the arm.

He was dead in 15 minutes.

Fifteen minutes.

I was right there with him, holding

his hand when his heart stopped cold.

He'd have killed me if he knew

I was listening to Neil Young.

Drinking beer.

Lots of beer.

Sleeping with women.

Lots of women.

We're not that different,

Brother Wayne.

I know it might feel that way.

Yeah.

Anyway, I just wanted to come

down here and apologize...

for forcing that snake on you.

That was bullshit, and I'm sorry.

You take care of yourself.

Hey.

You really believe in all of this?

On my daddy's grave.

Shh.

Shh, shh. Hey.

Shh.

Shh.

We'll leave in the morning.

I thought I smelled smoke.

Sorry. It's not allowed

or something?

May I?

Sure.

Can't smoke cigarettes, drink,

wear makeup, any of that.

A pretty girl like you shouldn't

hide behind your lipstick anyway.

Ah, it's fine.

Finish it up.

Now, I'm gonna help

your daddy heal,

and then I'm gonna help you.

Oh, yeah?

Good girl.

Now, you entered God's country,

and he brought you

up here for a reason.

When you figure it out,

give me a holler.

Liz O'Neil.

Know where she is?

- Who's that?

- A friend.

Part of this church. She's the

one that told me to come here.

Huh.

Sorry. I never heard of your friend.

Wrong church maybe.

Church of One Accord?

You're at it.

Liz?

Many burdens that we have to bear

Brother Bill, you in?

But there's a prayer bell

at the Lord's right hand

Give it a ring

and he will understand

Thank you, God.

Prayer bells on heaven

Oh, how sweetly they ring

They're ringing today, Father.
