- You have?

How much have you been making?

- 75 cents an hour.

- You know you are to give us

all your money until you are 21.

Where did you

get this worldly evil thing?

- I borrowed it.

- From who?

- Richard.

- Well, you are

going to take it back to him,

right after you

You stay away

from that English boy.

- Mom, why do we have to

have coffee soup all the time?

- Because we don't

And I confess

to God and to the church.

We do start young.

But Pepper did

He got into

And he got bit.

- Mom, today at school,

we were talking about the size

of the earth,

and I started thinking that

if I started

walking in one direction,

and nothing got in my way,

that I'd eventually come back

to the same

place I started from.

- Eventually

you'd fall off, silly.

- What do you

mean I would fall off?

- You would come to the edge,

and you would fall off if

you didn't stop.

Samuel, why are you

talking about this nonsense?

- At school, they showed

pictures of the earth,

and it's round.

So how could

I fall off if it's round?

- Samuel, it's not round.

- The moon is round.

- Samuel, enough!

The school and the devil

are trying to brainwash you.

- They are?

As I learned more

about the earth in school,

I began to think my mother

was wrong about it being flat.

make us

think it was round.

brought home from school?

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

- Let's sit, shall we?

Well, I really enjoy

having Samuel in my class.

He's doing

well with his grades.

And he's well behaved.

Well, he certainly

is an imaginative boy.

So, I would like to mention

a few things that I've noticed.

I've noticed some

behaviors in Samuel that at

first were of no concern.

But now, they're proving

disruptive to my class.

- What is he doing?

- Well, for example,

Samuel waves goodbye to his

learning utensils

at the end of every day.

When the bell rings,

instead of getting in line,

he sits on the floor and

waves goodbye to all his items.

I have to

tell him to get in line.

- Really?

- Have you two noticed

any odd behaviors at home?

- No.

He's well behaved.

- Well, if Samuel's

acting out in school,

there must be a reason.

- I think the problem

might be his peers.

- Well, a lot of

these kids are just plain cruel.

Did you know Samuel and

his sisters are being bullied?

- I can completely un--

- Maybe the teachers

should do their jobs,

and not allow

the bullying to happen.

- I can control

what happens in my classroom,

but I can't monitor what

happens outside my classroom.

Unusual behavior

isn't new at any school,

and neither is bullying.

I believe that special

attention given to boys like

Samuel can be very helpful.

- How?

- It often helps people

like Samuel to be able to speak

with someone who understands

what they're going through.

- Are you

suggesting a doctor?

- A doctor is

a good place to start.

- We only go to

doctors when someone is hurt.

- Well, there's

lots of doctors in the world,

and they're not

all for physical injuries.

- Oh, I don't know

about this right now.

- Jake, please we have to

consider helping Samuel.

- The school needs

to crack down on bullies.

That is the problem.

- I cannot crack down on

bullying like you may believe.

- Then what

about the parents?

Who is

going after them?

- We try to speak

to the parents of bullies

when an incident's reported.

But oftentimes,

that backfires, and there's

an increase in bullying.

- Well, something

needs to be done.

- I do have an idea.

I have a colleague in

the child psychiatry business.

I'd be happy to ask her if she's

willing to see Samuel for free.

And well, I've

- Jake, I wish you had

spoken to me of this earlier.

I would be happy to provide

you with some assistance,

courtesy of the church.

- No, John,

that is not necessary.

As part of

our extended church family,

it is our responsibility

to ensure that we do everything

in the name

of solidarity for our community.

- Well, I appreciate that, John.

- And as you know,

it is also appreciated if

you give some

of your time to the church.

I know you

say you've been busy,

and these social

activities are costly.

These activities

are forbidden by the church.

- John, I assure you,

there has been no forbidden

behavior going on.

- I hope not.

You have a great responsibility

to God and to our community.

- Bishop, I assure you,

there is no need for concern.

- Jake, let

me state my position.

Then we can move on.

If I hear

of one more indiscretion,

one more incident of

your betrayal to our community,

let me make myself clear.

The drinking,

the parties, the irreverence,

this cannot happen again.

The church

can be forgiving.

But even the

church has its limits.

- Yes, John,

I know all about limits.

- To be perfectly clear,

Jake, a family that is shunned

by the church

is scorned forever.

That is my duty to

you, to God, and our community.

- Understood.

- Well, Sarah, there you are.

I was wondering why you

were not at bible study today.

- I brought

back your jars, Maggie.

Thank you

for lending them.

- Is everything all right?

- Samuel is acting out.

- Listen, Sarah,

I think God is testing you.

I know raising

children is not easy.

My own parents

struggled with it.

Actually,

Jake rebelled the most.

Boy, did my

brother love music.

His friends

wanted him to join a band.

But our parents

wouldn't have it.

- Oh, no,

it's not like that.

There is something

truly wrong with Samuel.

Maggie, please

do not repeat this.

- You have my word.

- Samuel has been acting

strange at home and at school.

And the other

night, he made a sculpture.

Jake and I

were very concerned.

And we--

- Does the school

or the church know about

this sculpture?

- Oh, no.

Maggie, Samuel needs

to see a special doctor.

- No.

Sarah, no.

You are looking

for help in the wrong place.

Your faith

should be in God.

He made our

brains the way they are.

These people

don't know how brains work.

- We at least want

to see what they say.

- Sarah, please listen to me.

Don't disregard

the traditions that have

kept us together

for so many years.

If you disregard your vows

and go off on your own accord,

you know what that means.

- Maggie, I--

- Sarah, you

know what that means!

- I don't know what to do.

- Yes, you do, Sarah.

- I am so confused.

The school said--

- The school.

We know what

the school will say.

They do not understand the way

things work in our community.

They do not even try!

Plus, you know our children

cannot go past the eighth grade.

- I just think we should--

- Sarah, please!

You are well

on your way to more trouble.

- What do you mean?

- You will be excommunicated,

from your church,

from your house,

from your family, Sarah.

Samuel is acting out because you

are not living like you should.

You and Jake are

living like English people.

You have to stop.

- But we have.

- It is no secret that

my brother is often tempted

by worldly things, like

the appliances in your house.

You have not

gotten rid of them, have you?

Sarah, you and Jake must

fully commit yourselves to God,

and rid yourself of

all of those things that pull

you away from him.

I am afraid

for your children's souls.

I will say no more.

You know

what you need to do.

I will help

you on your way if you ask.

- What are we

going to do when they shun us?

- We'll leave!

We'll move to town.

- We will have nothing.

And who will help us?

- We have enough friends

on the outside now.

Sarah, we don't

need these people.

knees in front of that church.

- Anyway, gentlemen, why don't

we get on with our meeting?

- We have a lot of

So let's be on with it.

- Look at that car there.

- Those preachers saw us.

They were pointing at us.

[CICADAS BUZZING]

- I had a talk with

Vanessa today about Samuel.

- You did?

Oh, you mean about

that strange thing he does?

What'd she say?

- She doesn't

think he's possessed,

and that we should talk

to him, and we should hug him.

- How does she know?

- She brought

her daughter with her.

And I heard Vanessa

tell her that she loved her.

And then they hugged.

- Well, if you think

that's something you need to do,

then you do it.

But you can't expect

me to do that kind of thing.

I'm just not cut out for it.

- Jake, you've

had these English appliances

for several years now.

Why have you

not removed them?

- You know, Maggie, I

think I've got a buyer for them.

They'll be gone soon.

- Look, Jake,

something terrible has happened.

- Well, hello, there, Maggie.

- Sarah, we just came

by to talk to the two of

you about your car.

- We're going

to take it back!

We were

just trying it out!

We're going

to take it back!

- Oh, no, we're not!

And we are not

having this conversation!

- Jake, there is

something you need to know.

- What do we need to know?

That you're

going to shun us?

I got news for you,

I don't care anymore!

How about a couple of

them preachers getting on their

knees this Sunday,

and confessing their sins?

- Well, Jake,

I'm sorry you feel that way.

You have blasphemed God!

- Please just go home.

And you know what?

You can tell my brother

he can keep that gosh darned

buggy he stole

the other night!

- We are going.

But not before we

tell you that just yesterday,

Uncle John was

driving his sinful car,

and he burned to death

in a fire when it crashed into

a ditch and exploded.

- Daddy, it's

a sign from God.

Please take the car

back before God burns us, too.

- I worried every day about

my family burning in that fire.

Don't let sister

number one become like me.

Please, God, don't let sister

number two become like me.

Please, God, don't let sister

number three become like me.

Please, God, don't let sister

number four become like me.

Please, God, don't let sister

Please, God, don't let sister

number six become like me.

Please, God, don't

let my brother become like me.

Please, God, don't let sister

number one become like me.

Here, Angel, I brought

some more food for you.

Are you feeling better?

Can I tell you a secret?

Well, I got to go.

But I'll be back later.
