- Where are we going?

- Can I ride shotgun?

No. Put the bags in the back of the truck.

April, come on!

Don't put everything in the cab!

No, your mother's gonna ride up there.

- Hurry up, Mom!

- Go to the back seat, guys.

Girls, in the back.

- Can I ride in the back here?

- No, no! It's not safe.

Good-bye, America! And have a nice day!

- I'm Reverend Gurney Spellgood.

- Pleased to meet you.

- You can call me Gurney.

- Call me Brighton.

Jerry, sit down.

Mrs. Fox, I'm Captain Smalls.

Come on over here. I have a seat for you.

The sea around us. The earth beneath.

This night commit this food to thy keep.

Jeedoof.

- Amen.

- Amen.

We don't say prayers at home.

Captain first, Reverend.

"The last shall be first."

- No, "some."

- Pardon?

"Some of the last who will be first and

some of the first who will be last." Luke.

I was quoting Matthew.

You were misquoting Matthew.

Matthew says "many," not "some."

You certainly understand my mission,

Mr. Fox.

And a pretty good knowledge

of the Scriptures, too.

I've tinkered a bit with the Bible.

God's owner's handbook, isn't it?

Except it doesn't work.

So, this is your first visit to Mosquitia?

Actually it's more than a visit.

We're planning to stay.

Stay there?

Why would you want to?

That whole country's back

in the Stone Age.

Sounds perfect.

Mr. Fox!

There you are. I've got a gift for you.

It's the latest. The Blue Jeans Bible.

It was designed by a psychologist.

Look at this, kids. It's just what I've been

warning you about.

"Of making many books there is no end.

Much study is a weariness of the flesh."

Ecclesiastes.

"There are many rooms in

my Father's house, but I am the door."

Don't slam it on the way out.

May God forgive you.

Have a nice day.

Thank you. I will, Brother!

Hi.

It's a whole lot hotter than this

in the jungle.

- You've never been there, have you?

- No.

We're from Baltimore.

I study communication in school.

I hate school. It's so boring.

What's your favorite band?

Mine's The Executioners.

I love the lead guitarist. He is so cool.

He reminds me of James Dean.

Your father's a missionary.

You don't live in Baltimore.

Yes, we do.

My father has two churches. One's in

Guampu, and the other one is in Baltimore.

It's a drive-in.

What kind of drive-in?

There's only one kind.

You know, outdoors with cars.

Gosh, you're stupid.

So, what's your old man do?

My father's an inventor.

He invented this mechanical mop.

You sort of dance around with it.
