How come we don't get to go to the funeral?
Why would you want to go to a funeral?
I've never been to one.
When you get to be my age, you get to go to plenty.
That's, like, a hundred years from now.
You make it hard to love you.
Do you really see a dead body?
Sometimes.
How close do you get to it?
Real close, if you want.
And the clothes they're wearing,
is that the clothes they become a ghost in?
Depends. In the movie Ghost,
Patrick Swayze has on the outfit that he dies in.
Casper runs around butt naked.
Maybe he died naked.
That's fun to think about.
And y'all wonder why you're not at the funeral.
Good morning, Peg.
Well, it will be once this cup of Sanka works its magic.
Is Pastor available?
Oh, he's on the phone with his wife.
Oh, should I come back? Nah.
He usually gets his groveling done pretty quick.
So... that little Hanson girl, that was horrible, huh?
Yeah.
Reminds you that...
life is precious.
(coughing loudly)
You're up, slugger.
(coughing continues)
JEFF: Come in. (whoops)
I have the clothing drive flyers if you'd like to take a look.
Thank you.
You all right, Mare?
(sighs)
No, not really.
Um... I can't stop thinking about that little girl.
I understand.
That's why it's important in these times
to take comfort in our faith.
What if that's not doing the trick?
Events like this can certainly create doubt.
It happens to me more often than I'd like to admit.
What do you do?
I roll up my sleeves and I work even harder at serving our Lord.
Mary, we each have a relationship with God,
and relationships take work.
Get out there.
Help the needy, start a Bible study,
hug a stranger and tell 'em the Lord loves 'em. (chuckles)
But not a child; that backfires on you, big-time.
Thank you, Pastor Jeff.
You are most welcome.
Oh, and tell Sheldon
I spoke to my seminary professor,
and the official ruling is:
God would appear to the octopus aliens in octopus alien form
and save their eight-legged souls.
Praise Jesus!
(chuckles)
(Peg coughing)
(door closes)
I should put that in a sermon.
Hold on, hold on. Thank you, God,
for this food we are about to receive and for the nourishment
of our bodies, and bless the hands that prepared it. Amen.
We're doing this at breakfast now?
Yes, I think it's a nice idea.
She's eating Count Chocula.
Doesn't he play for the other side?
I'm so glad God blessed you with a sense of humor, George.
Mom, have you received any distressing phone calls today?
No. Why?
Just wondering if it's an appropriate time
to ask if you could take me to Radio Shack.
Sorry, sweetheart, I can't today.
I have to bring this food over to the Hanson family.
Then I have my new prayer group.
And after that, I'm gonna get started
on a faith garden in the backyard.
A faith garden? What the hell is that?
Language.
It's an outdoorsy place for me to speak to God.
Don't you already speak to him indoorsy?
Yes, but in the backyard,
I can enjoy the beautiful world he gave us.
You can also smell the Sparks' chicken coop.
Well, I think it sounds nice.
Thank you. I'm gonna need your truck
to get all the dirt and flowers and tools that I need.
Sure. Oh, oh, almost forgot.
Can you keep an eye out for a rock big enough
to paint a Psalm on?
I can do that.
Wish me luck!
Luck!
Mm-hmm! (chuckles)
Is Mom okay?
How the heck should I know?
She left. You can say "hell."
