- Ooh.
Hey, little Johnny.
Why's he setting up
the Christmas tree?
It's only September.
- It's his thing, man.
- Oh, okay.
Hey, that sounds good.
Hello.
I'm sorry, I can't
hear you, speak up.
Yeah, I'll be there.
Okay, bye.
That's good, Johnny.
- Do you really like
Professor Johnson?
- I mean, yeah,
he's cool, why not?
- He's so boring.
- You're just too picky.
- I'm the picky one.
- Whatever, I gotta go.
- Hey, don't be late
for Bible study tonight.
- Okay, I won't.
- Sorry, I'm late.
- Aw, don't worry about it.
- So I been thinking
what I should
get Mom for Christmas.
- Christmas?
You're thinking about
Christmas already?
Son, you have plenty
of time for that.
Besides, your mom just wants
you to serve God anyways.
- I been serving God
my whole life, Dad.
- I know you have and we're
proud of you for that.
- Paul?
It's time of Bible study.
- I'm coming.
You guys don't need to
wait for me, you know.
- Well, it's your turn
to give the message.
- Right.
Let's go to Jeremiah 29:13.
The word says, seek God
and you'll find him.
There's just a lot of
meaning in that for me.
- That's our God.
He'll never forsake us.
- So many people
stop serving God.
- Son, they just need prayer.
- Paul?
Maybe you should start
a Bible at your college.
- If you'll excuse me.
- I just really like
classical music.
- Great, we've been
looking for a violinist.
- Really, does that mean
y'all have an opening?
- Yeah, you can
probably sign up,
we can probably get you in.
- All right, sounds great.
- Hey, do you need some help.
- Yeah, I don't know
how to change a tire.
Can you help?
- Yeah, let me look at it okay?
Yeah, do you have a spare?
- Um, yeah, it's in the trunk.
- Okay, yeah.
Looks like you got
everything here.
- I've been so
swamped with homework.
- Yeah, tell me about it.
- So how was Friday night?
- It was so awesome.
- Really, what happened?
- So many people
got saved by Christ.
I mean they were just
running up to the altar,
it was crazy.
- Oh, that sounds amazing.
I'll have to be there next time.
- Yes, definitely.
- Oof.
Okay, yeah, that should be good.
- All right, thank you.
I'm Melanie by the way.

- You ready to get beat?
- It's good food Mom.
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
- So I saw this girl on
the side of the road,
she had a flat tire.
Should have seen her eyes.
She just looked so helpless.
- You helped her right?
- Oh, yeah, of course.
- You learned to change a
tire when you were about.
- I was eight.
- Really, that young, huh.
- I learned from the best.
- Well, that's true.
- Mark the blameless man
and observe the
upright and the future
of that man is peace.
Hello?
Hi,
Paul, it's Melanie.
- Oh, hey.

to thank you again
for helping me with
my flat tire today.

with you sometime, could we?
- Sure.
Thanks for the coffee.
So, why did you want to meet?

You should come watch me.
- I really should go actually.
- Oh, come on, please.
- Okay.
You must be Paul.
- Hey, who are you?
- Melanie is my daughter.
She told me you'd be here.
She talks about
you all the time.
Thank you for helping
her out the other day.
She always talks about you.
- Yeah, that's no problem.
- Well, she needs a
good man like you.
- Thank you.

school do you go to?
- High school?
I'm actually in college now, so.
- That's cool.
I go to Lone Star State.
- Oh, me too.
- Yeah, we'll be
joining you pretty soon.
- Of course we will
because high school sucks.
- You know what Paul,
why don't you tell Gina
how fun high school is.
- Well, I wouldn't know.
I was homeschooled.
- Homeschooled?
- Yeah, I was homeschooled
once, I hated it.
- Yeah, I mean it
wasn't that bad.
I graduated first in the class.
No, but.
- Really?
- Yeah, it was two students,
there was my brother.
Hey, what are you doing?
- Let me hold our hand.
- I'm driving.
- Everybody wants
to be my boyfriend.
- Okay, who is your boyfriend?
- You.
Hey.

my new boyfriend.
You miss school a lot?
- Come on.
- Okay, let me help you.
- Stop, I got it.
- My high school's
ranked like number one
in the nation.
- You don't need to be
cocky, all right, come on.
Just let me do my work
and get a D or a
C and barely pass
and be happy, okay?
- Hi, are you hungry?
- Yeah, I could eat.
- Okay, give me
just a minute, okay?
- Everyone looks down on me.
- Why do you say that?
- They make fun of me
'cause I was homeschooled.
- Don't let that bother you.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- What you doing?
- I'm working on
my friends list,
requesting and
adding new people.
- Cool.
Why do you need so
many friends, huh?
- I want the world to
know how popular I am.
- Great.
- Hey, guys.
What can I get for y'all.
- Just a coffee, black.
- All right, and for you?
- Me, too.
- Coming up.
- Thank you.
- I really missed you.
I can't wait till you
have your own place.
- My own place, huh?
- And my parents wanna
have dinner this Saturday.
- I have plans.
- Come on, please?
- Hey, Mom, I'm sorry,
something came up at school.
I'm not gonna be
able to make it.
Yeah, but if I miss this class
it's gonna count against
my grade and I can't do it.
You guys have a lovely house.
- Oh, thank you.
- Thank you.
- My daddy's a very
successful business man.
- Stop being gross.
- Your mom is the most
beautiful woman in the world.
- I thought I was.
- No, I am.
- Will you two stop.
- So, Paul, are you living
on campus right now?
- I'm actually living
at home with my parents.
- Really.
Wow, you know you're
not a real man
until you move out of
your parents' house.
- I agree.
- Yeah.
- What do you think
of being a real man?
So I've been thinking
about getting my own place.
About time I grew up and
became a real man, I suppose.
- All right, tell
me something Paul.
What does having your own place
have to do with
being a real man?
- Everything.
- You don't think
it's gonna be hard?
I mean you're gonna
have to go to school,
and when you get off you're
gonna have to go to work
and then you gotta
pay your bills.
- I gotta try.
- Okay, Paul.
- Let's get back
to our run, yeah.
- Sure.
Thank you sweetie.
- All right.
Ready.
- Yeah.
Father, God, we thank
you for this great meal
that Rosie's made
for us tonight.
We ask that you watch
over us and bless it,
in Jesus' name we pray, amen.
- Amen.
You're quiet tonight.
Something bothering you?
- No.
You know.
I'm gonna get my own place.
I think it's time.
- So, where do you
want to move to?
- Somewhere close to school,
it'll make things easy.
- You're leaving us?
- No, Mom, I'm not leaving you.
- Yes, you are.
- He's 20 years old.
- So.
- We need to let him go.
- Why, he's only in college.
- Hey, man.
- What's up.
- What are you doing here?
- I'm looking for you.
- Cool.
- Who is she?
- I don't know.
- What do you mean
you don't know?
You've been going
here two years.
You don't know who she is?
- All I know is she's new.
- All right.
- Ah!
- Are you okay?
- This is definitely a sign
that you shouldn't
move out yet young man.
- It's a sign I
definitely need to leave.
Hello?
When I see you,
I'll give you a big kiss.
- Yeah.
I'll
be there at 7:30.
- Hey, so.
Great, I'm gonna
cook you dinner.

Hold on.
I gotta go.
Oh, come on.
Ah!
Okay, go ahead, eat.
Ah, come in.
- Hey.
- Hey, lover boy.
- Oh, hey.
What's up dude.
- Whoo!
- What's all this?
- Well, I thought since you
have your own place now,
we can have our own party.
- Our own parties, yeah.
- Here's my beer.
- Oh, I don't drink man.
- What?
- You will.
- You gonna drink today.
- Looks like you guys brought.
- Give me a beer.
- Yeah, mm-hmm, cool.
- Aw, you set the table for us?
- Yeah, for me and you,
it was gonna be lovely.
Hello?
Are you on
your way to church?
- Yeah, I'm almost there.
- After the prodigal son
left his father house
and our Lord Savior
Jesus he began to party.
Every night he drink,
he was so lost.
In this world we
have so many people
is like prodigal son
and prodigal daughter.
They are so lost.
Let's open to Luke chapter
15, verse 12 and 13.
He began to party every night.
He was so lost.
- So how is school going?
- It's all right.
A lot of homework.
I don't really have
much free time.
- How's Lady?
- She's good.
It's hard to be a manly man when
you're walking around campus
with a poodle in your hand,
but I still get the chicks.
I don't.
- You need to bring
her by for a visit.
- Yeah.
- Look, I know she's your dog,
but we love her, too.
- Yeah, I'll bring her.
- What's wrong with
you today brother?
You're off.
- It's Melanie, man.
We were supposed to have
this nice wonderful dinner.
And she brought all
her friends over
and it sucked.
- Hi, is this your dog?
- Yeah.
- She's so cute.
- Thank you.
- What are you doing out here.
Shouldn't you be in
school or something?
- I'm just thinking.
- Thinking, huh,
that's pretty deep.
- I used to have a dog.
- Oh, yeah, what
happened to him?
- He died in a car accident.
- Sorry.
- Excuse me.
- So I look beautiful, right?
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
- Oh, hey, by the way my
homecoming is coming up.
- Okay.
That's cool.
- I bet you never
went to homecoming.
- Yeah, I guess it's
just not my thing.
- Why not?
It's so much fun.
I think you should take me.
- Really, you don't
think I'm too old?
- What, no.
Oh, hey, what time is it?
My parents are waiting for us,
we're gonna be late for dinner.
- I guess we can go.
- Okay.
- You want some wine?
- Oh, no, no thank you.
- I'll have some.
I usually don't drink,
but tonight I will.
- Yes, you do, and
you say you like it.
- Shut up, you brat.
- Hey.
Girls.
- It's okay, you
don't have to drink
behind your backs.
- I love my parents.
- So, how do you like
having your own place?
- I mean, it's
all right I guess.
- Can I see your place?
- If you want.
- So I hear you go to church.
- Yeah, yeah, I do.
- Yeah, I used to go to church.
When I was young.
- You went to church?
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh, how boring.
- I wanna go to church.
- You wouldn't even like it.
- Yes, I would.
- Hey.
Stop.
- Girls, enough.
That's enough.
What did I tell you Jesenna.
All right, we have company.
- It's not normally like this.
- I'm sorry about that.
- Ooh, ooh.
- Did you guys pay
the electric bill?
- I think the lights are out
in the whole neighborhood.
Let me just go grab a candle.
- Are we poor?
- Sweetie, don't talk like that.
We're not poor, okay.
You all right, sweetie,
do you need help?
No, I got it I think.
- You sure?
And we have light.
- Let there be light.
- So, what made you
stop going to church?
- Because he found me.
- So, you go to
church to find girls?
- No, no, no, no.
- I don't believe
that's how it works.
- Yay, we're not poor.
- Come on, sweetie.
- I'm sorry, Mom, I'm not
gonna be able to make it.
I just have a lot of homework.
Well, what do you want me to do,
just drop out of school
and I can stay home always.
I just don't know what
will make you happy.
Ah!
No, don't take that.
Ah, give it back girl.
That's my last chicken.
That was good chicken.
Hey, hey.
Hey.
So, where do you

You and your household.
Jesus.
Help my son.
Please.
- Would you like a cup of tea?
- But what did I do wrong?
- You're good mother.
- I feel like there's
something I didn't do right.
- You did everything you could.
- My son.
- He'll be back.
- When?
- Soon.
The Lord is with him.
Let's go ahead and pray.
Father God in heaven.

Yes, Lord.
Yes, Jesus.
- Hey, what's that noise.
- He's cleaning in there.
- School starts tomorrow.
- But he doesn't need
to do that right now.
- Paul!
- What?
- You don't need
to be doing that.
- Cleaning my house?
- Yeah, let him do
what he wants to do.
- Paul, stop it.
- Why are you trying
to tell me what to do?
Just let me finish, all right.
- Paul.
- Don't give me that okay.
- Hold on man, don't talk
to her like that first off.
- Oh, come on man.
- Hey.
- Hey, I got this,
I got this, no.
You want to talk to
somebody, talk to me.
- Stop.
- It's like I don't know man.
- Homeschooler.
You know what?
My bad, let's have fun.
Right, I'm here to
have fun, that's it.
You need a beer.
- Life isn't about
parties, all right?
- Look who's talking.
Stupid.
- It's not right.
- What do you wanna
do, try it again?
- Sure.
Yeah, hold up.
- Oh, my God.
Sorry, I gotta go.
- Just a few minutes,
like five minutes.
Just a few more.
- I'm sorry.
- Come on, just a few
more, let's get it right.
- I got things to do,
I'm sorry, Johnny.
- He'll be back.
- I know you keep saying that.
- We do have God's promise.
- Sometimes I just feel
like my prayers are weak.
- You know a mother's
prayers are very powerful.
In fact, I think your prayers
are more powerful
than my prayers.
- I just can't believe
he's living this way.
- Oh, come here.
- Tonight is for me.
- Yeah.
Um, I'm always happy when
you're happy, you know.
Where are your
parents by the way?
- Oh, I don't know, somewhere.
- This is our first
Christmas Eve together.
- Yeah, it's been four months.
I think my dad is
seeing someone.
Why aren't you
surprised by that?
- How's your mom?
- Fine, I think she went
to Florida with my sister.
So, prom is in five months.
- Yeah, you've been
talking about prom
since I met you.
- Yeah, well, it's
every girl's dream.
- Come here, you all right?
Hey, yes, I'm calling
about your job.
Do you guys still
have an opening?
I have a lot of experience.
I'm kind of still in college.
I just kind of, yeah.
- We're looking for someone
who can start immediately.
How soon can you start?
- Anytime, anytime you need me.
- We try to make our
customers feel like kings.
- Yeah, that's no
problem for me.
- Good, that's pretty
good, I like that.

Thank you.
Oh, here you go, pollo.

Here's your 20 and
here's your tip.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, have a nice day.
- You, too.
Hey.
Okay.
- Are you okay?
- No.
- What's wrong?
- My dad filed for divorce.
- I'm really.
I'm really sorry to hear that.
- Selfish people.
- It's okay.
- Promise me you'll
never leave me.
- Yeah, I promise.
- When I was young,
my parents told me
that they would
never get a divorce.
- Things happen.
- Well, this should
have never happened.
- I'm sorry.
- Marry me.
- Marry you, I mean, come on.
- I'll be graduating soon.
- Take good care of my daughter.
- Wait, where are you going?
- Nowhere.
- How's Chloe?
- Good.
She's at a friend's house.
- I'm really sorry
about the whole divorce.
- I trusted him.
- You know, you don't
need to tell me anything.
- I want you to know the truth.
- Hey, long time
no see, stranger.
- Yeah, just wanted to say hi.
- So you been busy a lot lately.
What's going on?
- I got a job.
- I miss hearing
you play the drums.
- Thank you.
- I think everyone misses
you playing the drums.
- That's really kind.
I miss your violin.
I mean, I just wanted to say hi.
I gotta go to class,
so I'll see you.
Ooh, I'm sorry.
My bad.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- I know, I know.
There's no food right now.
It'll get better soon.
I promise.
Ow.
- You're late.
- Okay, you guys

- Yes.
- Is everything okay.
- Yeah.
I'm sorry, that was you.
Do you have
another one in the car?
- I'm sorry, I actually don't.
That'll be 15.
Sorry.
Have a good day.
Oh, my God I can't
do this no more.
- This used to be
Paul's favorite verse.
- Read it to me.
- It's Matthew 7:14,
enter by the narrow gate.
- Oh, yeah, that's the scripture
he used to read to his cousins.
- I had a dream
about him last night.
- It's okay.
I believe he'll come back
to God by this Christmas.
- No, man, so the game.
Man.
- Hold up, hold up, hold up,
someone's at the door guys.
Hold on.
- You all need to turn
this music down now.
- Excuse me, sir, the
music was not that loud.
- You better turn
this music down now
or I'm a call the police.
- Oh.
I'm so scared.
- I didn't ask you to be scared,
I asked you to be respectful.
- Hey.
- Are you serious, man.
Whatever.
- Chill man.
- Today my dad moved out.
- I'm really sorry.
Let's just have fun, okay.
- You guys.
I'm gonna marry Paul.
- You gonna do what?
- Hold up, hold up,
somebody's at the door.
What is it this time?
- Are you kidding me.
- How you doing, I
got a noise complaint
coming from this apartment.
- Yeah, it's my birthday.
We're just having some fun.
- You want some officer.
- Okay, I'm gonna need
to see some IDs now.
- Uh, officer, I
left my ID at home.
- Is that really
necessary officer?
We'll keep it down.
We'll keep it inside.
- No, IDs now.
All right, go ahead and put your
hands on top of your head.
Bring them down to the
small of your back.
- Paul.
Where have you been?
- Hey, Tim, you
don't wanna know.
- It's not like you went
to jail or anything, right?
Wait.
Seriously.
Did you go to jail?
- You're right man, I
need some help, right.
- Yeah, I think
it's the girl, okay.
Like she's messing with her head
and her whole family's
messing with your head.
- She wants me to marry her.
- You know you
sound crazy, right?
- I thought that
family was cool.
I don't know.
- This is messed up.
- You wanna go ball?
- Yeah, sounds good.
- Hey, Lady.
Ah!
Ah, it hurt, like.
You miss me?
Hello?
We're having a
party at Michael's house.
You should come.
- Are you crazy, come on.
We gotta lay low at least
for a couple of weeks.
Are you joking?
- No, I'm serious.
I won't do that.
- No, that's what
we need to do okay?
- You are never there for me.
- Come on, don't, you're always,
you're always
turning it into that.
I mean seriously.
You
missed my homecoming,
prom, everything else.
Come on baby, be there for me.
Huh!
- I can't believe I
have to watch her.
- She's not that bad.
- Then why don't you watch
her and then I'll leave.
- I miss Dad.
- Don't talk about him.
I told you not to.
- How come?
- Because he betrayed us.
- No, he didn't.
- Oh, yeah, then where is he?
- I don't know.
- Exactly.
- I saw her kissing Michael.
- Wait, what?
- She kisses Michael,
she kisses Steven,
she kisses Alec, she
kisses everybody.
Are
you coming or not?
- I can't, I'm working.
After work,
you should come join us.
- Okay, who's gonna be there?
If you wanna know,
then you can come
and check it out.
- All right, bye-bye.
Thanks for dressing out.
- Well, you know
how I always do.
I gotta always look
good for the ladies,
ain't that right?
Who at the door?
Anyways, I know you watched
the game tonight, though.
- How was that?
- It was good man.
- Oh, what's up Paul.
- What's up guys.
- Oh, well, well.
What's up man.
- Hey.
Where's your parents?
- Oh, you know, my mom is
with her new boyfriend.
- Boyfriend.
I'm sorry.
- Oh, no, Gina,
Gina, Gina, wake up.
She's out.
Gina, Gina.
- Wake up, no.
- She's fine, she's fine.
Wake up.
I feel so sick.
- Do we need to call 911.
- No, no, she's fine.
- Are you sure 'cause
that's what you're--
- She's fine.
- Watch your step.
- That looks bad.
- You all right.
- I feel a little better.
Yeah.
- If anything were
to happen to you,
I don't know what I'd do.
- I'm okay.
- Okay, come on, let's
go out there and party.
- Sounds good.
- Are you sure
she's gonna be okay?
- Yes, she's fine.
You're all
right, you sure.
I'm good.
- You all right.
- I'm fine.
- Take a seat.
- I'm okay.
- I'm really glad you're okay.
I wanna call 911.
- Are you stupid?
Do you want to go to jail again.
I didn't know.
- Yes, you did know.
- I thought she might need help.
- No.
- Relax, she's fine, all right.
- Guys, just leave Paul alone.
- Who's side are
you on anyway, huh?
- Not yours.
- Are you serious.
You're always backing him up.
- What is going on, man?
- Dude, get out my face.
You want a piece of me, huh?
- Michael, stop.
- Try me.
Go ahead and try me.
You know what, I
think this is perfect.
Why don't you go ahead
and tell him our
little secret Melanie.
Huh?
Tell him everything.
- What are you
talking about, huh?
- Nothing.
- He doesn't know huh?
- Shut up.
- No, no, no.
- Stop.
- Before she was your
girl, she was my girl.
That's why she's having my baby.
- No.
No.
It was an accident.
- An accident, really.
What about that last
abortion Melanie?
- No, we, it was a mistake,
we were just drinking
and we were drunk
and we didn't know
what we were doing.
- You're having
his baby right now?
- Yeah.
- No.
- Paul, don't go, Paul.
- Let him go.
- Paul, I only love you.
- It's okay.
It's okay.
- Hey, Paul, wait.
- Oh, hey, I'm sorry I been,
I been really busy.
- I've been praying for you.
- I could probably use it.
- You look so lost.
- Thanks.
- You know, if you need
anybody to talk to,
I'm here, okay.
- I wish I could just tell
you everything, you know.
I'll see you, bye.
I'm gonna change, man.
- Wow.
I'm sorry.
I must be hearing things, what?
- You heard me fine.
- What happened man?
- Melanie, she's pregnant.
- What?
- It's not my baby.
- Paul, she's only 19.
- Yeah.
- We both know her parents
created that monster.
- I guess.
- Hey, guess who I saw at
the grocery store yesterday.
Your parents.
- How's my mom?
- They're good.
Your mom said something
about they're planning
a winter vacation down south.
I don't know.
- That's good.
- Yeah.
- I really need this job.
- I know, everybody
needed this job.
We're actually bankrupt.
Nothing we can do.
Bankrupt as of today, banks
closed everything, done.
- I don't know
what I'm gonna do.
Hello, you've
reached Rose and Peter.
We're gone on
vacation right now.
Please leave a
message after the beep
and we'll call you when
we get back in town.
Thanks and God bless you.
- You don't want it either, huh?
Ooh, it's hot.
I need to pay the AC.
I know.
You miss Mom, too, huh?
I really need this job.
- Well, I have one opening,
it's an eight to five,
would that work?
- I'm a full-time
student and I work,
for class and for school, so.
- I'm sorry, that's all I have.
All those openings
have been filled.

All right, bye.

- Well, you should
come play with us.
- I need to find a
paying job really.
- Oh, well, what are
you doing this Friday?
- This Friday?
What do you have in mind?
- Well, you should at least
come practice with us.
- Yeah.
Maybe.
How is everything here?
- It's pretty good.
Just need drummer, you know.
- Yeah.
- You've been late with
your payment for two months.
- I know, I just lost my job.
I'm a full-time student.
- We would like to
help and I'm sorry,
but with recent complaints
and your missed payments.
- Is there anything you can do?
Just give me a little more time
and I can come up
with the money,
I know I can.
- Fine, I'll give you
till Monday, 1,800.
If not, we'll take action.
- Yeah, I can do that.
No problem.
Hello?
What do you want?
I don't, I don't
want to talk to you.
What do you mean you're outside.
What do you want?
- I want to talk to you.
- I don't want to talk to you.
How clear can I be, huh?
And what is this,
what about the baby?
Why are you drinking, huh?
- I lost the baby.
- You lost he baby, huh?
What happened?
- It was an accident.
- An accident.
It's always an
accident with you.
You should go home.
Okay.
I'm trying to figure
out the truth.
- And what's the truth?
- I don't know, but I'm
gonna figure it out.
Forgive me.
I lost the baby.
It was an accident.
And what's the truth?
- What am I doing?
I'm gonna be late
to meet Kathleen.
What are you doing here?
- I was so drunk last night
that I couldn't even
drive, so I just slept
on your couch.
- You should go.
- Let me tell you something.
- I don't wanna hear it.
- I just want you to
know that you're a man.
Like you're the
only guy who never
tried sleeping with
me and didn't really
use me just for sex.
When I get older, I want
to homeschool my kids.
- Why do you say that now?
- Well, honestly, I
struggled in high school,
especially my senior year.
- I thought you said you had
so much fun in high school.
- I pretended to be happy.
- Are you pretending right now?
You're not gonna
finish your food, man.
- I'm not hungry.
- What's up man?
- I got a lot on my mind.
I'm moving back to Colorado.
- Okay, why?
- There's this doctor there.
I guess my mom
goes and sees him.
You know, he says
she has cancer.
- I'm really sorry.
- I need to go help out
with my little brother,
you know, be the man.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm sorry, man.
- Paul, you need
to go back home.
You know the Bible says we
should honor our parents.
- I'm just not ready.
God.
What am I gonna do?
Hello?
Hey, Paul, so let's
party at your place tonight.
- I don't have a
place right now.
What, what happened?
- Hey, Lady, where you been?
Hey.
Where've you been.
- Hey.
What are you doing out here?
- Just pretending
to have a picnic.
- Oh, really.
- Yeah, when my mom was alive,
we would always come
here for a picnic.
- You really miss your mom, huh?
- I miss her so much.
- Sometimes I just
want to fall asleep
so I can see her in my dreams.
- Does that work?
- Yeah.
Whenever I dream,
we're always here
having a picnic.
And then I wake up
and she's not here
and I get sad.
Hey, Lady, you
want some sandwich.
- Hey, Ben.
- Wow, you must
be really hungry.
Want some more?
You want some?
- Sure.
- Okay.
- Oh, cool.
Your picnic and
everything, yeah.
- Yeah.
- It's really good.
- Thanks.
- You look really happy today.
- Yeah, I don't have
to go to school.
- Really?
- Yeah, my stepmom's
homeschooling me now.
- That's pretty cool.
And that makes you happy?
- Yeah, it's what my
real mom used to do.
- All right, Ben, time to go.
- I gotta go.
- All right.
- I'll see you.
They must still be on vacation.
- What's up man?
- Hey, I saw you
from other there.
You look kind of hungry.
- No, I'm good.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
- You know what,
I'll be right back.
- I am pretty hungry.
- Here you go, man.
- Oh, thank you.
- No problem man, God bless.
- Oh, thank you.
- Hey.
What are you doing here?
- I came here to practice drums.
- Oh, it's nice, huh.
Quiet, everyone went
home for Christmas.
- Yeah, it's nice.
- So have you done your
Christmas shopping?
You know we could still
use you on the drums.
- I'm sorry, I've
been really busy.
- I mean, the least you could do
is help me decorate the tree.
- Yeah, sure.
Of course.
How long you been here?
- Just an hour or so.
- Here, let me get that for you.
- Someone sounds hungry.
- No, no, I'm good.
- Come on, let's go eat.
- Really?
- Yeah, come on, let's go.
But, we just.
- It's okay, let's go eat.
All right, let's go.
- Something's different.
- Like what?
- Oh, I don't
know, it's nothing.
We're gonna have
a good Christmas.
- Thanks for this.
- Yeah, no problem.
- It was good.
I hear these make
you fat, though.
- Yes, they do.
But they're so good,
they're addicting.
Me and my brother, we'd
go get them all the time.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- You guys are close, huh?
- Yeah, I mean
basically best friends.
- What, he didn't
have his own friends?
- Well, we were
homeschooled, so,
all we had was
each other really.
- You were homeschooled?
- Yeah, we were.
- I didn't know that.
You liked it?
- I love it.
I mean, me and my
brother got to spend
a lot of time together
and grow really close
and I mean I'm glad my
mom homeschooled me.
I love it.
- Huh.
- So, why don't we go finish
the Christmas tree, come on.
- Yeah.
Okay, let's go.
Back to work.
- Don't move, stay right there.
Now you look like
a Christmas tree.
- And you look like an angel.
I'm sorry, that
was really cheesy.
- So what are your plans
this Christmas Eve?
- I don't know,
what are you doing?
- Me and the band are
gonna go down to the
homeless shelter
and play some music.
- Really, that
sounds really great.
- Do you want to come?
- I'm sorry, maybe.
- You know, every
Christmas my brother
would just stare at
the Christmas gifts
under the tree and
one year my father
told me not to forget the
real meaning of Christmas.
So before we could open
any of the presents,
I would remind everybody
the true meaning
of Christmas of why our
Lord Jesus was born.
- That's really great.
God.
What do I do God?
What do I do?
I know.
I know.
God.
Why?
What do I do?
- Hey.
- Hey.
- These past couple of
days, they've been great.
I don't think I've
had so much fun
in a long time.
- Life with God is always fun.
- I'm realizing more and
more what's important.
Seriously, thank you
for being a good friend.
- You're welcome.
- Oh, hey, hey,
Lady, guess what?
I actually remembered you, look.
I know it's a couple days old,
but it's good, right.
Okay, we're about to go to a
homeless shelter, all right.
I know we're technically
homeless, too,
but it'd be nice
to help somebody.
Hello?
- Paul.
Can you come see me?
Paul, I wanna kill myself.
- No, no, don't say that.
- You know where I am.
- Okay, I'm on my
way right now, okay.
Oh, my God.
- Okay.
All right, I think
he's gonna come.
- What a loser.
I don't know why you
like this guy, man.
- Oh.
- Look who it is.
Melanie never
shuts up about you.
- We really miss you.
Remember last Christmas
when we were all together.
- Yeah, man, what
you been up to bro.
- You seem fine to me.
I rushed over here.
- Come on, it's Christmas
Eve, I miss you.
- I don't know why
he's acting like that.
- I don't know how
you guys do it.
I have things to do
and somehow you guys
always pull me back in.
- Come on man, Melanie
wants you here anyway,
ain't that right?
Yeah.
- I had plans.
- Oh, really.
What are those?
- I'm gonna go
feed the homeless.
- You mean go feed yourself.
By the way, man.
What happened?
- So the mama's
boy goes back home.
- Yeah, man, I heard
you lost your place,
- I don't have to sit here
and take this seriously.
- Wait a second, man,
we're just having fun over here.
Won't you just stay with
her for a little bit, huh?
Party just started.
Ooh.
Tough guy, huh?
Be a real man about it, okay.
You know what's
your problem Paul?
You think you're
better than all of us.
Wait, where you going?
Let me talk to you.
Where you going?
- Back off.
- Oh, yeah.
- Hey, stop, come back
inside, have a drink.
- It'd be that easy,
just to come inside and
have a drink.
Go back to everything
and have fun, huh?
- That's it.
- This isn't how we're
supposed to live.
- You know what,
since you wanna be
all preacher like,
why don't you tell us
all how to live, Paul.
Huh, why don't you
let us know exactly
what we need to do, St. Paul.
- It's not supposed
to be like this.
It's not supposed
to be like this.
Jesus is the only way.
- Paul wait!
Come on.
- Hello?
- Hey, Mom.
I wanna come home.
- Where are you?
I'm at a
homeless shelter.
- A homeless shelter,
are you okay?
- I'm feeding the homeless.
- I love you.
I've been praying
for you every day.
- I love you, too.
Your prayers worked.
Bye mom.
- Bye.
Hey, little Johnny.
Why's he setting up
the Christmas tree?
It's only September.
- It's his thing, man.
- Oh, okay.
Hey, that sounds good.
Hello.
I'm sorry, I can't
hear you, speak up.
Yeah, I'll be there.
Okay, bye.
That's good, Johnny.
- Do you really like
Professor Johnson?
- I mean, yeah,
he's cool, why not?
- He's so boring.
- You're just too picky.
- I'm the picky one.
- Whatever, I gotta go.
- Hey, don't be late
for Bible study tonight.
- Okay, I won't.
- Sorry, I'm late.
- Aw, don't worry about it.
- So I been thinking
what I should
get Mom for Christmas.
- Christmas?
You're thinking about
Christmas already?
Son, you have plenty
of time for that.
Besides, your mom just wants
you to serve God anyways.
- I been serving God
my whole life, Dad.
- I know you have and we're
proud of you for that.
- Paul?
It's time of Bible study.
- I'm coming.
You guys don't need to
wait for me, you know.
- Well, it's your turn
to give the message.
- Right.
Let's go to Jeremiah 29:13.
The word says, seek God
and you'll find him.
There's just a lot of
meaning in that for me.
- That's our God.
He'll never forsake us.
- So many people
stop serving God.
- Son, they just need prayer.
- Paul?
Maybe you should start
a Bible at your college.
- If you'll excuse me.
- I just really like
classical music.
- Great, we've been
looking for a violinist.
- Really, does that mean
y'all have an opening?
- Yeah, you can
probably sign up,
we can probably get you in.
- All right, sounds great.
- Hey, do you need some help.
- Yeah, I don't know
how to change a tire.
Can you help?
- Yeah, let me look at it okay?
Yeah, do you have a spare?
- Um, yeah, it's in the trunk.
- Okay, yeah.
Looks like you got
everything here.
- I've been so
swamped with homework.
- Yeah, tell me about it.
- So how was Friday night?
- It was so awesome.
- Really, what happened?
- So many people
got saved by Christ.
I mean they were just
running up to the altar,
it was crazy.
- Oh, that sounds amazing.
I'll have to be there next time.
- Yes, definitely.
- Oof.
Okay, yeah, that should be good.
- All right, thank you.
I'm Melanie by the way.
- Hey, I'm Paul.
- Hey, so if I ever
have another problem,
I could call you?
- Okay, yeah, sure.
All right.
Okay.
- All right, thank you.
- Um, drive safe all right.
- All right.
Bye.
- Bye.
- Hey, Tim.
- Hey, man.
Hey, man, come on.
- You're late.
- I know.
I had to help this girl,
she got a flat tire.
- So you helped her?
- Yeah.
You ready to ball man?
- You ready to get beat?
- It's good food Mom.
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
- So I saw this girl on
the side of the road,
she had a flat tire.
Should have seen her eyes.
She just looked so helpless.
- You helped her right?
- Oh, yeah, of course.
- You learned to change a
tire when you were about.
- I was eight.
- Really, that young, huh.
- I learned from the best.
- Well, that's true.
- Mark the blameless man
and observe the
upright and the future
of that man is peace.
Hello?
Hi,
Paul, it's Melanie.
- Oh, hey.
- I just wanted
to thank you again
for helping me with
my flat tire today.
- Yeah, I'm glad I could help.
- And I would like
to have coffee
with you sometime, could we?
- Sure.
Thanks for the coffee.
So, why did you want to meet?
- Oh, I just want
to get to know you.
So, after this I
have dance practice.
You should come watch me.
- I really should go actually.
- Oh, come on, please.
- Okay.
You must be Paul.
- Hey, who are you?
- Melanie is my daughter.
She told me you'd be here.
She talks about
you all the time.
Thank you for helping
her out the other day.
She always talks about you.
- Yeah, that's no problem.
- Well, she needs a
good man like you.
- Thank you.
- Don't you like
the way I dance?
Aren't I pretty?
Tell me how pretty I am.
Oh, hey, guys, say hi
to my new boyfriend.
- Boyfriend.
I wonder what happened
to the last one Melanie?
- So, anyway, this is
Michael and Gina and Steven.
- I'm Paul, guys.
- Well, Paul, what high
school do you go to?
- High school?
I'm actually in college now, so.
- That's cool.
I go to Lone Star State.
- Oh, me too.
- Yeah, we'll be
joining you pretty soon.
- Of course we will
because high school sucks.
- You know what Paul,
why don't you tell Gina
how fun high school is.
- Well, I wouldn't know.
I was homeschooled.
- Homeschooled?
- Yeah, I was homeschooled
once, I hated it.
- Yeah, I mean it
wasn't that bad.
I graduated first in the class.
No, but.
- Really?
- Yeah, it was two students,
there was my brother.
Hey, what are you doing?
- Let me hold our hand.
- I'm driving.
- Everybody wants
to be my boyfriend.
- Okay, who is your boyfriend?
- You.
Hey.
- Hey, what are you doing here?
- I came to see
my new boyfriend.
You miss school a lot?
- Come on.
- Okay, let me help you.
- Stop, I got it.
- My high school's
ranked like number one
in the nation.
- You don't need to be
cocky, all right, come on.
Just let me do my work
and get a D or a
C and barely pass
and be happy, okay?
- Hi, are you hungry?
- Yeah, I could eat.
- Okay, give me
just a minute, okay?
- Everyone looks down on me.
- Why do you say that?
- They make fun of me
'cause I was homeschooled.
- Don't let that bother you.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- What you doing?
- I'm working on
my friends list,
requesting and
adding new people.
- Cool.
Why do you need so
many friends, huh?
- I want the world to
know how popular I am.
- Great.
- Hey, guys.
What can I get for y'all.
- Just a coffee, black.
- All right, and for you?
- Me, too.
- Coming up.
- Thank you.
- I really missed you.
I can't wait till you
have your own place.
- My own place, huh?
- And my parents wanna
have dinner this Saturday.
- I have plans.
- Come on, please?
- Hey, Mom, I'm sorry,
something came up at school.
I'm not gonna be
able to make it.
Yeah, but if I miss this class
it's gonna count against
my grade and I can't do it.
You guys have a lovely house.
- Oh, thank you.
- Thank you.
- My daddy's a very
successful business man.
- Stop being gross.
- Your mom is the most
beautiful woman in the world.
- I thought I was.
- No, I am.
- Will you two stop.
- So, Paul, are you living
on campus right now?
- I'm actually living
at home with my parents.
- Really.
Wow, you know you're
not a real man
until you move out of
your parents' house.
- I agree.
- Yeah.
- What do you think
of being a real man?
So I've been thinking
about getting my own place.
About time I grew up and
became a real man, I suppose.
- All right, tell
me something Paul.
What does having your own place
have to do with
being a real man?
- Everything.
- You don't think
it's gonna be hard?
I mean you're gonna
have to go to school,
and when you get off you're
gonna have to go to work
and then you gotta
pay your bills.
- I gotta try.
- Okay, Paul.
- Let's get back
to our run, yeah.
- Sure.
Thank you sweetie.
- All right.
Ready.
- Yeah.
Father, God, we thank
you for this great meal
that Rosie's made
for us tonight.
We ask that you watch
over us and bless it,
in Jesus' name we pray, amen.
- Amen.
You're quiet tonight.
Something bothering you?
- No.
You know.
I'm gonna get my own place.
I think it's time.
- So, where do you
want to move to?
- Somewhere close to school,
it'll make things easy.
- You're leaving us?
- No, Mom, I'm not leaving you.
- Yes, you are.
- He's 20 years old.
- So.
- We need to let him go.
- Why, he's only in college.
- Hey, man.
- What's up.
- What are you doing here?
- I'm looking for you.
- Cool.
- Who is she?
- I don't know.
- What do you mean
you don't know?
You've been going
here two years.
You don't know who she is?
- All I know is she's new.
- All right.
- Ah!
- Are you okay?
- This is definitely a sign
that you shouldn't
move out yet young man.
- It's a sign I
definitely need to leave.
Hello?
When I see you,
I'll give you a big kiss.
- Yeah.
I'll
be there at 7:30.
- Hey, so.
Great, I'm gonna
cook you dinner.
Yeah, what's wrong girl.
Hold on.
I gotta go.
Oh, come on.
Ah!
Okay, go ahead, eat.
Ah, come in.
- Hey.
- Hey, lover boy.
- Oh, hey.
What's up dude.
- Whoo!
- What's all this?
- Well, I thought since you
have your own place now,
we can have our own party.
- Our own parties, yeah.
- Here's my beer.
- Oh, I don't drink man.
- What?
- You will.
- You gonna drink today.
- Looks like you guys brought.
- Give me a beer.
- Yeah, mm-hmm, cool.
- Aw, you set the table for us?
- Yeah, for me and you,
it was gonna be lovely.
Hello?
Are you on
your way to church?
- Yeah, I'm almost there.
- After the prodigal son
left his father house
and our Lord Savior
Jesus he began to party.
Every night he drink,
he was so lost.
In this world we
have so many people
is like prodigal son
and prodigal daughter.
They are so lost.
Let's open to Luke chapter
15, verse 12 and 13.
He began to party every night.
He was so lost.
- So how is school going?
- It's all right.
A lot of homework.
I don't really have
much free time.
- How's Lady?
- She's good.
It's hard to be a manly man when
you're walking around campus
with a poodle in your hand,
but I still get the chicks.
I don't.
- You need to bring
her by for a visit.
- Yeah.
- Look, I know she's your dog,
but we love her, too.
- Yeah, I'll bring her.
- What's wrong with
you today brother?
You're off.
- It's Melanie, man.
We were supposed to have
this nice wonderful dinner.
And she brought all
her friends over
and it sucked.
- Hi, is this your dog?
- Yeah.
- She's so cute.
- Thank you.
- What are you doing out here.
Shouldn't you be in
school or something?
- I'm just thinking.
- Thinking, huh,
that's pretty deep.
- I used to have a dog.
- Oh, yeah, what
happened to him?
- He died in a car accident.
- Sorry.
- Excuse me.
- So I look beautiful, right?
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
- Oh, hey, by the way my
homecoming is coming up.
- Okay.
That's cool.
- I bet you never
went to homecoming.
- Yeah, I guess it's
just not my thing.
- Why not?
It's so much fun.
I think you should take me.
- Really, you don't
think I'm too old?
- What, no.
Oh, hey, what time is it?
My parents are waiting for us,
we're gonna be late for dinner.
- I guess we can go.
- Okay.
- You want some wine?
- Oh, no, no thank you.
- I'll have some.
I usually don't drink,
but tonight I will.
- Yes, you do, and
you say you like it.
- Shut up, you brat.
- Hey.
Girls.
- It's okay, you
don't have to drink
behind your backs.
- I love my parents.
- So, how do you like
having your own place?
- I mean, it's
all right I guess.
- Can I see your place?
- If you want.
- So I hear you go to church.
- Yeah, yeah, I do.
- Yeah, I used to go to church.
When I was young.
- You went to church?
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh, how boring.
- I wanna go to church.
- You wouldn't even like it.
- Yes, I would.
- Hey.
Stop.
- Girls, enough.
That's enough.
What did I tell you Jesenna.
All right, we have company.
- It's not normally like this.
- I'm sorry about that.
- Ooh, ooh.
- Did you guys pay
the electric bill?
- I think the lights are out
in the whole neighborhood.
Let me just go grab a candle.
- Are we poor?
- Sweetie, don't talk like that.
We're not poor, okay.
You all right, sweetie,
do you need help?
No, I got it I think.
- You sure?
And we have light.
- Let there be light.
- So, what made you
stop going to church?
- Because he found me.
- So, you go to
church to find girls?
- No, no, no, no.
- I don't believe
that's how it works.
- Yay, we're not poor.
- Come on, sweetie.
- I'm sorry, Mom, I'm not
gonna be able to make it.
I just have a lot of homework.
Well, what do you want me to do,
just drop out of school
and I can stay home always.
I just don't know what
will make you happy.
Ah!
No, don't take that.
Ah, give it back girl.
That's my last chicken.
That was good chicken.
Hey, hey.
Hey.
So, where do you
live around man?
- I'm not telling you.
- Well, I just mean you
should really go home.
- I don't wanna go home.
I don't want to see her.
- Oh.
Okay.
- She's trying to marry my dad.
- Hey!
Lady, come back here, what?
- Try it.
- No, I think I'm good.
- Come on, man, all you gotta do
is just take a hit.
Yeah, man, don't be
a coward just take a hit.
- Just hit the tape, do it.
- Come on.
Try it.

- Yeah, I'm sick, no,
I'm fine, I'm fine.
Are you hungover?

- Then why do people drink?
- Because they like it.
- No, thank you.
Come on, get up,

Paul!
- What time is it?
- About 10:30.

Do what you want.
Be a man.

- Oh, my God.
Hey.

Dad?

- Oh, it's a new hobby.
I've been collecting cans
so I can refund them and
give them to charity.
- What is that smell?
- Probably Lady, she used
the bathroom somewhere.
She's been eating the weeds
in the park, I don't know.
Hey, what are you guys
doing here by the way?
You guys don't need to
check up on me or anything.
Actually, I got

so you guys should probably go.
- We were in the
neighborhood, but okay.
- Yeah, we just
wanted to say hi.

Bye Mom, bye Dad.

It was nice
seeing you guys though.
All right.

- You guys are
embarrassing me, Mom.
- What's happened to you?
- Nothing, okay, I'm just
trying to be my own man.
Trying to take care of myself.
- Man, son, this is not
how a real man acts.
- Well, he's a grown man,
he can take care of himself.
Such a good boy.
- What about God?
- God?
- Okay.
Hey, listen, I don't,

to your real mom?
- She died.
- I'm really sorry.
- I wish I still had my dog.
- I'm sure you'll have
another dog some day.

Lord Jesus Christ
and you will be saved.
You and your household.
Jesus.
Help my son.
Please.
- Would you like a cup of tea?
- But what did I do wrong?
- You're good mother.
- I feel like there's
something I didn't do right.
- You did everything you could.
- My son.
- He'll be back.
- When?
- Soon.
The Lord is with him.
Let's go ahead and pray.
Father God in heaven.

- Bring back our
son soon and safe.

Yes, Lord.
Yes, Jesus.
- Hey, what's that noise.
- He's cleaning in there.
- School starts tomorrow.
- But he doesn't need
to do that right now.
- Paul!
- What?
- You don't need
to be doing that.
- Cleaning my house?
- Yeah, let him do
what he wants to do.
- Paul, stop it.
- Why are you trying
to tell me what to do?
Just let me finish, all right.
- Paul.
- Don't give me that okay.
- Hold on man, don't talk
to her like that first off.
- Oh, come on man.
- Hey.
- Hey, I got this,
I got this, no.
You want to talk to
somebody, talk to me.
- Stop.
- It's like I don't know man.
- Homeschooler.
You know what?
My bad, let's have fun.
Right, I'm here to
have fun, that's it.
You need a beer.
- Life isn't about
parties, all right?
- Look who's talking.
Stupid.
- It's not right.
- What do you wanna
do, try it again?
- Sure.
Yeah, hold up.
- Oh, my God.
Sorry, I gotta go.

like five minutes.
Just a few more.
- I'm sorry.
- Come on, just a few
more, let's get it right.
- I got things to do,
I'm sorry, Johnny.
- He'll be back.
- I know you keep saying that.
- We do have God's promise.
- Sometimes I just feel
like my prayers are weak.
- You know a mother's
prayers are very powerful.
In fact, I think your prayers
are more powerful
than my prayers.
- I just can't believe
he's living this way.
- Oh, come here.
- Tonight is for me.
- Yeah.
Um, I'm always happy when
you're happy, you know.
Where are your
parents by the way?

Christmas Eve together.

I think my dad is
seeing someone.
Why aren't you
surprised by that?
- How's your mom?
- Fine, I think she went
to Florida with my sister.
So, prom is in five months.

talking about prom
since I met you.

every girl's dream.

Paul's favorite verse.
- Read it to me.
- It's Matthew 7:14,
enter by the narrow gate.
- Oh, yeah, that's the scripture
he used to read to his cousins.
- I had a dream
about him last night.
- It's okay.
I believe he'll come back
to God by this Christmas.
- No, man, so the game.
Man.
- Hold up, hold up, hold up,
someone's at the door guys.
Hold on.
- You all need to turn
this music down now.
- Excuse me, sir, the
music was not that loud.
- You better turn
this music down now
or I'm a call the police.
- Oh.
I'm so scared.
- I didn't ask you to be scared,
I asked you to be respectful.
- Hey.
- Are you serious, man.
Whatever.

- I'm really sorry.
Let's just have fun, okay.
- You guys.
I'm gonna marry Paul.

- Hold up, hold up,
somebody's at the door.
What is it this time?
- Are you kidding me.

coming from this apartment.
- Yeah, it's my birthday.
We're just having some fun.
- You want some officer.
- Okay, I'm gonna need
to see some IDs now.
- Uh, officer, I
left my ID at home.
- Is that really
necessary officer?
We'll keep it down.
We'll keep it inside.
- No, IDs now.
All right, go ahead and put your
hands on top of your head.
Bring them down to the
small of your back.
- Paul.
Where have you been?
- Hey, Tim, you
don't wanna know.
- It's not like you went
to jail or anything, right?
Wait.
Seriously.
Did you go to jail?
- You're right man, I
need some help, right.
- Yeah, I think
it's the girl, okay.
Like she's messing with her head
and her whole family's
messing with your head.
- She wants me to marry her.
- You know you
sound crazy, right?

family was cool.
I don't know.

We gotta lay low at least
for a couple of weeks.
Are you joking?
- No, I'm serious.
I won't do that.
- No, that's what
we need to do okay?
- You are never there for me.
- Come on, don't, you're always,

turning it into that.
I mean seriously.
You

prom, everything else.
Come on baby, be there for me.
Huh!
- I can't believe I
have to watch her.
- She's not that bad.
- Then why don't you watch
her and then I'll leave.
- I miss Dad.
- Don't talk about him.
I told you not to.
- How come?
- Because he betrayed us.
- No, he didn't.
- Oh, yeah, then where is he?
- I don't know.
- Exactly.
- I saw her kissing Michael.
- Wait, what?
- She kisses Michael,
she kisses Steven,
she kisses Alec, she
kisses everybody.
Are
you coming or not?
- I can't, I'm working.
After work,
you should come join us.
- Okay, who's gonna be there?
If you wanna know,
then you can come
and check it out.
- All right, bye-bye.
Thanks for dressing out.
- Well, you know
how I always do.
I gotta always look
good for the ladies,
ain't that right?
Who at the door?
Anyways, I know you watched
the game tonight, though.
- How was that?
- It was good man.
- Oh, what's up Paul.
- What's up guys.
- Oh, well, well.
What's up man.
- Hey.
Where's your parents?
- Oh, you know, my mom is
with her new boyfriend.
- Boyfriend.
I'm sorry.
- Oh, no, Gina,
Gina, Gina, wake up.
She's out.
Gina, Gina.
- Wake up, no.
- She's fine, she's fine.
Wake up.
I feel so sick.
- Do we need to call 911.
- No, no, she's fine.
- Are you sure 'cause
that's what you're--
- She's fine.
- Watch your step.
- That looks bad.
- You all right.
- I feel a little better.
Yeah.
- If anything were
to happen to you,
I don't know what I'd do.
- I'm okay.
- Okay, come on, let's
go out there and party.
- Sounds good.
- Are you sure
she's gonna be okay?
- Yes, she's fine.
You're all
right, you sure.
I'm good.
- You all right.
- I'm fine.
- Take a seat.
- I'm okay.
- I'm really glad you're okay.
I wanna call 911.
- Are you stupid?
Do you want to go to jail again.
I didn't know.
- Yes, you did know.
- I thought she might need help.
- No.
- Relax, she's fine, all right.
- Guys, just leave Paul alone.
- Who's side are
you on anyway, huh?
- Not yours.
- Are you serious.
You're always backing him up.
- What is going on, man?
- Dude, get out my face.
You want a piece of me, huh?
- Michael, stop.
- Try me.
Go ahead and try me.
You know what, I
think this is perfect.
Why don't you go ahead
and tell him our
little secret Melanie.
Huh?
Tell him everything.
- What are you
talking about, huh?
- Nothing.
- He doesn't know huh?
- Shut up.
- No, no, no.
- Stop.
- Before she was your
girl, she was my girl.
That's why she's having my baby.
- No.
No.
It was an accident.
- An accident, really.
What about that last
abortion Melanie?
- No, we, it was a mistake,
we were just drinking
and we were drunk
and we didn't know
what we were doing.
- You're having
his baby right now?
- Yeah.
- No.
- Paul, don't go, Paul.
- Let him go.
- Paul, I only love you.
- It's okay.
It's okay.
- Hey, Paul, wait.
- Oh, hey, I'm sorry I been,
I been really busy.
- I've been praying for you.
- I could probably use it.
- You look so lost.
- Thanks.
- You know, if you need
anybody to talk to,
I'm here, okay.
- I wish I could just tell
you everything, you know.
I'll see you, bye.
I'm gonna change, man.
- Wow.
I'm sorry.
I must be hearing things, what?
- You heard me fine.
- What happened man?
- Melanie, she's pregnant.
- What?
- It's not my baby.
- Paul, she's only 19.
- Yeah.
- We both know her parents
created that monster.
- I guess.
- Hey, guess who I saw at
the grocery store yesterday.
Your parents.
- How's my mom?
- They're good.
Your mom said something
about they're planning
a winter vacation down south.
I don't know.
- That's good.
- Yeah.
- I really need this job.
- I know, everybody
needed this job.
We're actually bankrupt.
Nothing we can do.
Bankrupt as of today, banks
closed everything, done.

what I'm gonna do.
Hello, you've
reached Rose and Peter.
We're gone on
vacation right now.
Please leave a
message after the beep
and we'll call you when

Ooh, it's hot.

Hello?
What do you want?
I don't, I don't
want to talk to you.
What do you mean you're outside.
What do you want?
- I want to talk to you.
- I don't want to talk to you.
How clear can I be, huh?
And what is this,
what about the baby?
Why are you drinking, huh?
- I lost the baby.
- You lost he baby, huh?
What happened?
- It was an accident.
- An accident.
It's always an
accident with you.
You should go home.
Okay.
I'm trying to figure
out the truth.
- And what's the truth?
- I don't know, but I'm
gonna figure it out.
Forgive me.
I lost the baby.
It was an accident.
And what's the truth?
- What am I doing?
I'm gonna be late
to meet Kathleen.
What are you doing here?
- I was so drunk last night
that I couldn't even
drive, so I just slept
on your couch.
- You should go.
- Let me tell you something.
- I don't wanna hear it.
- I just want you to
know that you're a man.
Like you're the
only guy who never
tried sleeping with
me and didn't really
use me just for sex.
When I get older, I want
to homeschool my kids.
- Why do you say that now?
- Well, honestly, I
struggled in high school,
especially my senior year.
- I thought you said you had
so much fun in high school.
- I pretended to be happy.
- Are you pretending right now?
You're not gonna
finish your food, man.
- I'm not hungry.
- What's up man?
- I got a lot on my mind.
I'm moving back to Colorado.
- Okay, why?
- There's this doctor there.
I guess my mom
goes and sees him.
You know, he says
she has cancer.
- I'm really sorry.
- I need to go help out
with my little brother,
you know, be the man.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm sorry, man.
- Paul, you need
to go back home.
You know the Bible says we
should honor our parents.
- I'm just not ready.
God.
What am I gonna do?
Hello?
Hey, Paul, so let's
party at your place tonight.
- I don't have a
place right now.
What, what happened?
- Hey, Lady, where you been?
Hey.
Where've you been.
- Hey.
What are you doing out here?
- Just pretending
to have a picnic.
- Oh, really.
- Yeah, when my mom was alive,
we would always come
here for a picnic.
- You really miss your mom, huh?
- I miss her so much.
- Sometimes I just
want to fall asleep
so I can see her in my dreams.
- Does that work?
- Yeah.
Whenever I dream,
we're always here
having a picnic.
And then I wake up
and she's not here
and I get sad.
Hey, Lady, you
want some sandwich.
- Hey, Ben.
- Wow, you must
be really hungry.
Want some more?
You want some?
- Sure.
- Okay.
- Oh, cool.
Your picnic and
everything, yeah.
- Yeah.
- It's really good.
- Thanks.
- You look really happy today.
- Yeah, I don't have
to go to school.
- Really?
- Yeah, my stepmom's
homeschooling me now.
- That's pretty cool.
And that makes you happy?
- Yeah, it's what my
real mom used to do.
- All right, Ben, time to go.
- I gotta go.
- All right.
- I'll see you.
They must still be on vacation.
- What's up man?
- Hey, I saw you
from other there.
You look kind of hungry.
- No, I'm good.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
- You know what,
I'll be right back.
- I am pretty hungry.
- Here you go, man.
- Oh, thank you.
- No problem man, God bless.
- Oh, thank you.
- Hey.
What are you doing here?
- I came here to practice drums.
- Oh, it's nice, huh.
Quiet, everyone went
home for Christmas.
- Yeah, it's nice.
- So have you done your
Christmas shopping?
You know we could still
use you on the drums.
- I'm sorry, I've
been really busy.
- I mean, the least you could do
is help me decorate the tree.
- Yeah, sure.
Of course.
How long you been here?
- Just an hour or so.
- Here, let me get that for you.
- Someone sounds hungry.
- No, no, I'm good.
- Come on, let's go eat.
- Really?
- Yeah, come on, let's go.
But, we just.
- It's okay, let's go eat.
All right, let's go.
- Something's different.
- Like what?
- Oh, I don't
know, it's nothing.
We're gonna have
a good Christmas.
- Thanks for this.
- Yeah, no problem.
- It was good.
I hear these make
you fat, though.
- Yes, they do.
But they're so good,
they're addicting.
Me and my brother, we'd
go get them all the time.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- You guys are close, huh?
- Yeah, I mean
basically best friends.
- What, he didn't
have his own friends?
- Well, we were
homeschooled, so,
all we had was
each other really.
- You were homeschooled?
- Yeah, we were.
- I didn't know that.
You liked it?
- I love it.
I mean, me and my
brother got to spend
a lot of time together
and grow really close
and I mean I'm glad my
mom homeschooled me.
I love it.
- Huh.
- So, why don't we go finish
the Christmas tree, come on.
- Yeah.
Okay, let's go.
Back to work.
- Don't move, stay right there.
Now you look like
a Christmas tree.
- And you look like an angel.
I'm sorry, that
was really cheesy.
- So what are your plans
this Christmas Eve?
- I don't know,
what are you doing?
- Me and the band are
gonna go down to the
homeless shelter
and play some music.
- Really, that
sounds really great.
- Do you want to come?
- I'm sorry, maybe.
- You know, every
Christmas my brother
would just stare at
the Christmas gifts
under the tree and
one year my father
told me not to forget the
real meaning of Christmas.
So before we could open
any of the presents,
I would remind everybody
the true meaning
of Christmas of why our
Lord Jesus was born.
- That's really great.
God.
What do I do God?
What do I do?
I know.
I know.
God.
Why?
What do I do?
- Hey.
- Hey.
- These past couple of
days, they've been great.
I don't think I've
had so much fun
in a long time.
- Life with God is always fun.
- I'm realizing more and
more what's important.
Seriously, thank you
for being a good friend.
- You're welcome.
- Oh, hey, hey,
Lady, guess what?
I actually remembered you, look.
I know it's a couple days old,
but it's good, right.
Okay, we're about to go to a
homeless shelter, all right.
I know we're technically
homeless, too,
but it'd be nice
to help somebody.
Hello?
- Paul.
Can you come see me?
Paul, I wanna kill myself.
- No, no, don't say that.
- You know where I am.
- Okay, I'm on my
way right now, okay.
Oh, my God.
- Okay.
All right, I think
he's gonna come.
- What a loser.
I don't know why you
like this guy, man.
- Oh.
- Look who it is.
Melanie never
shuts up about you.
- We really miss you.
Remember last Christmas
when we were all together.
- Yeah, man, what
you been up to bro.
- You seem fine to me.
I rushed over here.
- Come on, it's Christmas
Eve, I miss you.
- I don't know why
he's acting like that.
- I don't know how
you guys do it.
I have things to do
and somehow you guys
always pull me back in.
- Come on man, Melanie
wants you here anyway,
ain't that right?
Yeah.
- I had plans.
- Oh, really.
What are those?
- I'm gonna go
feed the homeless.
- You mean go feed yourself.
By the way, man.
What happened?
- So the mama's
boy goes back home.
- Yeah, man, I heard
you lost your place,
- I don't have to sit here
and take this seriously.
- Wait a second, man,
we're just having fun over here.
Won't you just stay with
her for a little bit, huh?
Party just started.
Ooh.
Tough guy, huh?
Be a real man about it, okay.
You know what's
your problem Paul?
You think you're
better than all of us.
Wait, where you going?
Let me talk to you.
Where you going?
- Back off.
- Oh, yeah.
- Hey, stop, come back
inside, have a drink.
- It'd be that easy,
just to come inside and
have a drink.
Go back to everything
and have fun, huh?
- That's it.
- This isn't how we're
supposed to live.
- You know what,
since you wanna be
all preacher like,
why don't you tell us
all how to live, Paul.
Huh, why don't you
let us know exactly
what we need to do, St. Paul.
- It's not supposed
to be like this.
It's not supposed
to be like this.
Jesus is the only way.
- Paul wait!
Come on.
- Hello?
- Hey, Mom.
I wanna come home.
- Where are you?
I'm at a
homeless shelter.
- A homeless shelter,
are you okay?
- I'm feeding the homeless.
- I love you.
I've been praying
for you every day.
- I love you, too.
Your prayers worked.
Bye mom.
- Bye.
