The Case for Christ Page #4

---

I don't know. I've just...

(chuckles)

I've just spent most of my life

feeling like God

is a million miles away.

Oh, no, sweetheart.

God is not a million miles away.

He's right here...

right now,

waiting for you to talk to Him.

LEE:

The TV's all staticky again.

Tried banging on it.

That's not working anymore.

Did you check the roof?

Yeah. The, uh, antenna's fine.

Maybe you should call

the repair guy,

see if he can come by

and take a peek at it tomorrow.

Sure.

Hey, so I went to see Alfie

last week.

LEE:

Uh...

- Alfie, Alfie, Alfie...

- Alfie, Alfie.

Superwoman

who saved our daughter?

- Right.

- Alfie.

So, uh, she invited me

to her church,

and I went.

(laughs) Really?

Oh, I would've loved

to have seen that.

Yeah, well, I wanted to go.

(Lee sighs)

Can't we just give it

a break, Les? Okay?

I know you were rattled

the other night.

Are you interested in hearing

me or just condescending?

No, that's not... that's not

what I'm trying to do here.

Okay? Alison's fine, hon.

Let's not go crazy.

I'm not acting crazy.

Am I acting crazy?

It was the wrong choice

of words.

I don't think you're crazy.

I think you're pregnant.

And a little crazy.

And scared, and... I get it.

Do you?

Because I'm not done yet.

Okay.

(Leslie sighs)

So, I went to church.

And I don't know exactly

how it happened, but...

(sighs)

I felt something.

And so I went again tonight.

And I know this

is gonna be weird to hear,

because it's weird to say,

but...

I prayed.

So, what are you...

what are you telling me, Les?

I'm saying that...

I talked to Jesus.

I... I told Him

I want Him in my life.

You what?

Why?

- Why would you...?

- Hey, stay with me.

Hon, this is a good thing.

What did this Alfie woman

say to you?

It was my decision.

- Okay?

- I don't accept it.

You don't get to accept it.

I'm not asking.

- (Lee shushing)

- I'm telling you what happened.

You're not hearing me.

Okay. Listen, hon.

It's me.

This is me talking to you.

It's me.

Honestly, this is something

that I think I've been thinking

for a long time

and I just haven't

been able to...

to say anything

because of who you are.

Oh, are you kidding me, Les?

- I know this is a lot, hon.

- A lot?

A lot? You drop this on me.

What does that even mean?

I don't know what it means,

but I know it's

a good thing for me.

- For us. Yes.

- No. No. Okay.

- Yes.

- Okay, this is not us, Les.

Whatever this is, okay,

it is not us.

You are on your own...

Can you listen to me

and not get mad?

I am listening to you,

and that's the problem,

so if you're serious

about this...

- And I am.

- Okay, well, then I...

then I don't know
