Bring my dad back.

Yes, but only

if it's God's will.

Why wouldn't God

want to bring my dad back?

I don't know.

But if I get enough faith,

nothing's impossible, right?

Yeah.

What do you want?

I'm sorry about the other day.

So were you nice to him?

Yeah.

How can anyone

be friends with a Jap?

Take him a gift,

as a peace offering.

Hey, Jap.

Want a soda?

And all he did was

throw it in the trash.

I think you'll be okay.

Hang out with him.

Hang out?

Yup.

Just, get to know him.

Ollie,

why are you getting me involved in this?

I just don't see

how this helps anyone.

Yes, yes, he did.

But I don't even drink soda.

Jeez.

Just tell the kid to stop.

No, he's back again.

Hey!

What are you doing

monkeying around my house?

I want to hang out.

Go hang out somewhere else.

I meant with you.

Okay.

Let's hang out.

Come on, get in, Little Boy.

Bad nicknames

travel fast in this town.

My family knows where I am.

Especially London.

Okay, let's hang out.

Go ahead, I'll meet you inside.

No, no.

Okay.

What's he doing here?

Come.

What can I get you?

I'll have

a chocolate sundae with...

Hey, I ain't talking

to you, nip.

What do you want, Little Boy?

Two scoops of vanilla.

I haven't had

ice cream in years.

Why are you eating my ice cream?

You can get ice cream anytime.

Next time, try chocolate.

Now are we finished hanging out?

Then can I scratch you

from my list?

What list?

Father Oliver's ancient list.

Golly.

You told the boy that

if he waves a magic wand,

he can bring his father back.

You don't believe that, do you?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

If it's God's will,

yes, he can do anything.

He could turn you into a

rabbit if he wanted to.

Have faith, Hashimoto.

You should try it.

Not again.

I do have faith.

Faith in oneself.

Not in your imaginary friend in the sky.

Let's hope this

little game of yours

doesn't mess

with the boy's mind.

Two weeks?

But what about the list?

I already finished with the Jap.

Really?

We're friends now.

You continue

with Mr. Hashimoto

till I can't see the hate

in your eyes anymore.

Go and visit a prisoner.

You already know one.

I'll help you with the

list when I get back.

I promise.

Befriend that rat

in order to get Dad back?

By doing this stupid list?

By befriending him,

all you're doing is betraying Dad.

Hey!

Where do you think

you're going, Little Boy?

Come on.

Jap lover!

You can drop me off here.

I don't have anyone

to help me with my list.

Okay.

First things first,

my name is not "Jap."

It's Hashimoto.

All right, come in.

Okay, come.

Show me what you got.

Where do we start?

"Visit those in prison."

Why is this crossed out?

My brother.

At least that schmuck
