Turn it off.

[music stops]

Hello?

Yes, is this

Rich Mullins?

This is Rich Mullins.

Rich, this is Bryan

Bontrager from Nashville.

Well, what can I do

for you Bryan Bontrager

from Nashville?

(Bryan, over phone)

Rich,

Amy Grant heard your song

Sing Your Praise

to the Lord

and she wants to use it

on her next album.

Who's Amy Grant?

Are you kidding me?

Oh!

Excuse me?

Shhh.

Sorry about that.

Go ahead.

Okay, well, um,

listen, Rich,

we'd like to bring you

down to Nashville

here so we can work

out the writing contract.

Wow, thanks

Bryan, but, uh,

I'm not really

interested.

You're not interested?

[scoffs]

Um, look Rich,

I don't think you understand

what we're offering you

here, okay?

This is a gamechanger.

I'm not really sure

I want my game

to be changed.

Okay, well, um, Rich,

maybe you should

think about this.

You have a real gift

and maybe you

should be using it.

Well, I think

I am using it.

All right, well, um,

I,uh,hope

you change your mind.

Well, thanks

for the call, Bryan.

I appreciate it.

Take care.

What?

[no audio]

(Jess)

When are we going to talk

about the Nashville thing?

We're not going

to talk about

the Nashville thing

because I'm not going

to Nashville.

You have to go.

Well, are you

coming with me?

You know I can't do that.

We're not even

married yet.

What is this?

Is this

your parents?

It's not just

my parents.

You knew

what I wanted.

Your life

is headed

in a totally

different direction.

You don't want to be 41

and stuck in Cincinnati.

Yes, I do.

If you're there,

I do.

You don't belong here.

[no audio]

(Rich, off)

Hey, Jess,

it's me, uh--

hey, I didn't see you

at the show tonight.

I thought you were

going to be there.

Um...just give

me a call.

[guitar strumming]

(father)

I just don't understand

why everything

you touch ends up busted.

Why everything

you touch ends up busted.

[phone ringing]

Hey, hey, Jess,

it's me.

Listen, call me when

you get this, I just

want to talk.

I just, I just feel

like we're not--

I just, I just want to talk

about what's happening

with us.

I was just calling

to make sure everything

is okay.

I just feel

like we're not connecting

and I don't know...

why we keep

going back and forth

and if there's something

I've done or--

[phone ringing]

Jess, if the problem is me,

then I just want you

to tell me.

[busy signal]

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Hey, Mom.

[clears throat]

Are you okay?

I was just missing--

missing you guys.

I just wanted

to say hi.

(father)

Neva, I get

up at 4 a.m.

Calm yourself.

Mom, can I

talk to Dad

for a second?

Yeah.

Hey, he wants

to talk to you.

Tell that boy to call
