Machine Gun Preacher Page #5

Oh, Sammy, I can't do it.

I can't. I can't.

God don't make trash, boy.

He ain't giving up on you so don't

you give up on Him, you hear me?

(DONNIE PANTING)

What was wrong with her anyway?

I don't know.

They called it thrombosis.

And she couldn't walk, she

couldn't drive any more.

But you know, I think that prayer circle

made all the difference in the world.

- And now she can get her hair done.

- That's right.

Babe, why don't you go grab

some more beans, will you?

You know, I was thinking

about that fella, Sunday.

What fella?

That Pastor Relling.

- The missionary fella.

- [DAISY]:
A nice-looking man.

Oh, yeah, he talked funny.

He's just from a difference place

than us, baby, that's all.

[SAM]:
I like

what they're doing down there.

- It's a good cause.

- Sure is.

I was thinking maybe I could

go over there. You know?

See what they got going on.

- Africa?

- Yeah.

- You mean like to help them?

- Yeah, why not?

Reckon they can do with all

the help they can get.

Especially in construction.

[DAISY]:
Oh, yeah.

Mmm-hmm.

- Well, that's a good idea.

- Thought I'd go and do that.

[LYNN]:

What about the business?

What about that job you've

got going over in Boswell?

Job's gonna be

finished in five days.

I'll only be gone for

a few weeks though.

I'll be back before you know it.

[DAISY]:
It's not so long,

we'll be fine.

Mmm-hmm.

It's not so long.

- Yeah? Yeah?

- It's a nice idea, Sam.

(AFRICAN CHOIR SINGING

IN LOCAL LANGUAGE)

What are you?

Ugandan Army or something?

SPLA. Sudanese People's

Liberation Army.

Yeah, I don't know that.

What's that?

We are freedom fighters.

Well, hello, freedom fighters.

I'm Sam.

My name is Deng.

Deng? Nice to meet you, Deng.

Sam.

- Marco.

- Hey, Marco.

So, you boys busy or...

Maybe you can give me a

hand with the rubble.

No. I didn't think so.

All right. Good.

Well, I'll let you guys get

back to what you were doing.

But I'll be seeing you around.

Childers.

Some of us are going into

Kampala tomorrow night.

Try to find a little fun this weekend.

You wanna come along?

Actually, I was thinking

of going up north.

You crazy? There's a civil

war going on up there.

I know.

Suit yourself.

Hey, Deng, want a Coke?

Yes.

- Here you go.

- Thank you.

Ooh.

You got a cool breeze blowing

through the shade here.

It's very hot today.

Yeah.

I got a question for you.

I wanna go into

Sudan this weekend.

I need someone to

show me around.

You interested?

The others are going to Kampala.

I know.

That ain't my speed no more.

I wanna see some country.

You want to see?

[SAM]:
This thing go any faster?

[DENG]:
I wish it could.

Travelling is the most

dangerous time in Sudan.
