The Preacher's Daughter Page #3

---

You don't?

She's a vegetarian.

You don't know what you're missing.

Lanette here makes the best

chicken fried steak this side of paradise.

Oh, come on...

Rachel, have you started

back to school yet?

Yeah, today.

She had to get a shot.

Shut up.

What for?

Her mother wasn't very good about

keeping up with her health records.

Y'know, I'll tell you, schools today are

so full of bureaucracy and so devoid of God.

That's why we home school.

No politician is going to tell

us how to raise our children.

Amen.

So what would two to

the power of three be?

Eight?

Good. [PHONE RINGS]

Now try the next one

on your own.

Thank you.

Hi.

Hey.

It's Rachel, right?

Uh, Hannah.

We had dinner last night...

So, um, are you headed home?

Where else?

Cool. Me too.

Your dad lets you smoke?

Never asked.

My parents would totally kill me.

Not like it's a sin or anything.

Tell that to my dad.

Where exactly in the Bible

does it say smoking is a sin?

Well, it says that

your body is a temple,

and anything you do that's bad

for it is considered a sin.

You mean like eating steroid

overdosed cows deep fried in lard?

That a really cool camera.

Are you in photography

class or something?

What photography class?

They don't teach it here.

There's not enough

money in the budget.

Course there's plenty of

money for the football and...

...baseball teams to get brand

new uniforms every year.

Such bullshit.

At least you get to go to school.

You don't like being home schooled?

It's okay, I guess.

I don't gotta get up

every morning and

worry about my hair, or what

I'm going to wear, but...

I miss out on other things.

Like homecoming, or dances.

Not that my parents would let me go

to a dance even if I were in school...

They did seem a little overly protective.

A little?

Try no make-up, no dancing,

no listening to secular music...

Man, I don't knowwhat's worse.

Parents who are too f***ing strict

or parents who couldn't give a sh*t.

# Take a while and take a bow

And let yourself down slow #

# Gather up your memories

Hold on to what you know #

# And everything's been

movin' way too fast #

# If I'd be you,

Found something that would last #

# In the past #

# So if you find it in your mind

You're putting up your guard #

# Trust me when I say it's not

Supposed to be this hard #

# To fall again in air

Don't feel so fast #

# And every single fear... #

# Every single fear...

Will pass #

Oh...

I can't believe you're home!

Caleb? Oh my God,

look how big you are!

It's amazing how much a person

can change in four years.

Are you hungry?

I've some roast left over from last night.

I could make you a sandwich.

I'm fine.
