to read?

No, l just love

watching you read.

Don't forget.

l love you, too.

Heart.

Heart.

Heart.

[Swish noise]

Heart.

Heart.

[brick movement]

Heart.

What were you

doing in there?

Nothing.

l was just looking.

What do you want?

After considering

our options,

Mind thinks we need

to start over.

What do you mean start over,

like go back to church?

No.

The job in Connecticut.

And work for Jeff at his

advertisement firm?

No.

He said we had a job

waiting for us

anytime we wanted.

He's our old

college roommate.

We said a lot of things to

each other we didn't mean.

Hey!

What about

our security?

Heart, think of it

this way.

The only way we'll ever be

happy again is to move.

No.

Look, it was so hard

to get the strip syndicated

and look how

it's turned out.

l don't want

to hear this.

Heart,

are you blind!

Amy is miserable.

l mean, it's obvious her

feelings have changed toward us.

Because she blames us.

Stress and the guilt

have nearly crippled us.

Just look at you,

Heart.

l can't.

l won't.

Heart, l hate to say it,

but l believe we can trace

all of our problems back to when

we began this journey of faith.

ln the beginning we

studied the Bible

and l was convinced

that it was true.

We prayed consistently,

and l thought if we got

involved in ministry

we could please God.

But circumstances

have proven

that no matter how much we did,

just the opposite happened.

Mind is right.

We need to start over.

Reboot.

You know like escape.

l mean there's no

creativity here.

We're being stifled.

Mind can't think.

Will can't draw.

And you've lost

your passion.

You've been listening to that

sorry excuse for a judge.

Don't get me started on

Mr. Past-Time.

Whoa.

We've got to get

out of here.

Wait.

You're making decisions based

solely on circumstances.

We need some

spiritual direction.

And here comes

the judge.

l heard you down the hall

and it's obvious

that you are not thinking about

the spiritual implications.

How do you know that

this job opportunity

is not some kind of

divine intervention?

What?

No.

Are you

kidding me?

Emotion! l've had

enough of this!

Oh yeah!

l've had enough of you

Conscience! l had enough.

[arguing]

[music]

Read it to me again,

Daddy.

(Michael)

Which book honey?

The Good Shepherd.

( Amy) There once

was a good shepherd

who cared

for his sheep.

He watched over them when

ithey were awake or asleep./i

Silence!

You are going in

the wrong direction!

My desire is to get things back

to the way they were.

When Amy and l

were in love.

Heart.

What you want

is impossible.

lt can never be

like it was.
