The Fix It Boys Page #4

You have three first names.

So?

It's just kinda weird.

You're one too talk.

A customer?

She's just a kid though.

Is her money green?

What color's your money?

The color of a princess'

eyes in a field of clover.

I love what you've

done with the place.

Nice cross.

It's a wireless modem.

I've been looking for that.

Hi, I'm Cricket and

this is my brother Ben.

How can we help you?

Well first I would

like to thank you

for seeing me without

an appointment.

I don't recognize

you from school.

I'm homeschooled.

I found you online.

You have a wonderful

internet presence.

And your knack for

mechanical betterment

is practically legendary.

It is.

I even heard you

mastered a Rubik's Cube.

It's quite simple actually.

We simply disassembled a cube

and put the pieces back

together the correct way.

Even so.

What is it you need

us to fix for you?

My parents, you see,

they're getting a divorce.

I'm sorry, but we don't

do marriage counseling.

It doesn't matter, 'cause

they already done that.

And what happened?

Well it all began when we

first started going to church

near our home.

And the preacher there,

Pastor Murphy, saw right away

that my parents'

marriage was in trouble.

So he counseled them.

Things seemed to get

better for a while.

And they just got worse again.

I'm very sorry, but

as I said we don't...

Would you let her

tell the story already?

As I was saying, one

night Pastor and his wife

came to try talking with

my parents one last time.

Love is patient, love is

kind, it does not boast.

MARY BETH:
He

talked for a long time.

He read to my parents

from his Bible a lot too.

But you see we never had

gone to church much before,

so I didn't hardly

understand anything

of what he was saying.

PASTOR:
It keeps

no record of wrongs.

MARY:
And I don't think

my parents did either.

Love does not delight in evil,

but rejoices with the truth.

God's word is here to

help your marriage.

Did it help, the

Bible stuff, I mean?

Dad just got

angry and Mom cried.

Ben, conference.

Excuse us a moment.

What is it?

This stuff, it's out of

our field of expertise.

She's not asking us

to fix her moped.

She's asking us to save her

parents' from getting a divorce.

A divorce!

Yeah, so?

So we can't help her.

And the longer we lead her on,

the more hurt she's

going to be in the end

when we tell her

we can't help her.

Maybe she just needs

to talk you know.

She hasn't asked

for anything yet.

Then tell me Dr. Phil, why

else would she come here?

We're the Fix It Boys, remember?

Mary Beth, how

exactly can we help you?

I was getting to that part.

I was still watching
