Yes, God, Yes (2019) - full transcript

After an innocent AOL chat turns racy, a Catholic teenager in the early 00s discovers masturbating and struggles to suppress her new urges in the face of eternal damnation.

Miss O'Donnell.



Just as I suspected:

over two-and-a-half inches
above the knee.

Dean's Office. Now!

- Morning, Mrs. Veda.
- Alice.

School mass today at 2:00.

Why don't you be
gift bearer again?

Sure.

Hmm.

OK, it's like this,
guys are like microwave ovens.

And ladies are like
conventional ovens.

Guys only need a few seconds,
you know, like a microwave,

to get...
switched on.

While ladies,
they typically need to...

preheat for a while.



But God created sex
with boundaries

and for a purpose.

Does anyone wanna take a stab
at what the boundary is?

Yes, Wade?

- Marriage.
- Very good.

And does anybody
know the purpose?

- To have children.
- Perfecto.

When a man and a woman receive
the sacrament of matrimony,

God calls on them to create
children in his image.

Any sex outside of one man,
one woman, one marriage

is against God's plan.

Um, what about sex
with yourself?

Can you create children
from sex with yourself?

- No.
- Right, so?

- It's against God's plan.
- Exactly.

So, is that what the
Bible means by "spilling your seed"?

Is it spilling if you catch it?

All right, all right.

We are called on to be chaste
until we are married.

And that means no sex...
with yourself or anyone else...

until you stand at that altar
and you say "I do"

or else it is damnation
for all eternity.

And remember...

God is always watching.

Capiche?

They gave us Baby Think-It-Over
in Christian Lifestyles.

I'm not even having sex, they should
just give them to the slutty girls.

Oh, have you had to watch the
partial-birth abortion video yet?

- It's really awful.
- No, no! Don't ruin it for me.

How was Morality?

It was fine.

Did you know that masturbating
is a sin?

Ew. Of course. Why?

I was just wondering.

Making me rewind Titanic
back to the car scene twice

is probably also a sin,

just in case you were wondering
that next.

Look, I only
asked you to do that

because I couldn't hear
what Kate whispered to Leo

- when he said, "Where to, Miss?"
- Mm-hmm.

Which just happens to be
right before they make out

and steam up that car window
that Kate slaps her hand on.

I didn't write it!

Hey! Hi, Gus.

Sit, Gus.

Sit.

Welcome!

OK. Here we go!

Damn it!

Titanic!

Yes!

You've got mail.

Mom?

Wet?

Uh...

Underwear?

Ohh.

What?

Alice!

Dinner!

- I confess to almighty God...
- Almighty God...

and to you,
my brothers and sisters,

that I have sinned
through my own fault,

in my thoughts and in my words,

in what I have done and in what
I have failed to do...

The Millers invited us
over to watch the game.

Great, I'll make
my cheesy potatoes.

Oh, Damn it, Ron.

Now I'm all wet!

Calm down, Gail,
you're not that wet.

So, uh, Alice, I heard
you got on Wade Friday night.

Stephanie told me she walked in
on you guys in my sauna.

Ooh!
Gettin' steamy in the sauna!

No, we were just back there
getting some drinks.

We were only gone
for like a minute!

Yeah, that's long enough
for Wade.

I was just messin'.

Listen.

You don't have to put out
just because you like a boy.

I don't like him.

And now, for the Bible
passages that back all this up...

We're gonna start
with Galatians.

Heather, why don't you
start us off?

The acts of the flesh
are obvious:

sexual immorality,
impurity, debauchery...

OK, so, I just bought
this Blink 182 CD

from Sam Goody, right?

Um, I upload them to my computer

and then I just put 'em
on here.

Easy as pie.

The album's amazing, by the way.

It's called
Enema of the State.

Get it?

I bet you know all about enemas,
don't you?

Can you not talk about enemas
near my baby, please?

Yeah, I'm gonna...

Thank you.

Such a perv.

What's an enema?

It's when you fall water skiing

and water shoots up your butt.

Well, look who it is.

Where were you this weekend?

You didn't come to my party.

Yeah, I heard things
got pretty crazy.

Everyone's been talking
about you and Wade.

- Oh?
- Yeah.

They're saying
you tossed his salad.

- What?
- Gross!

You tossed his salad
in my sauna?

What? No! No!
Who, who said that?

Some girl in my Geometry class
was telling a bunch of us.

Heather's really pissed too.

She just gave Wade
a promise bracelet.

OK.

I mean, I've never even heard of
dressing someone's salad! So...

The party was really fun.

Why didn't you come?

I was on a retreat.

Oh! Like a spa?

No, a retreat ran by the school.

It's called Kirkos and I got
this necklace on it. See?

Cool. What'd you do there?

We're not allowed to talk about
it with anyone who hasn't been.

But it totally changed my life.

Coming, Beth?

Yeah. I gotta go.

You guys should sign up
for the next one.

I think it'd be good for you.

Since when does Beth eat lunch
with Nina and those girls?

I have to go on that retreat.

Do you think she thinks
that I actually

tasted Wade's salad or whatever?

I don't know.

Beth's such a moron.

I never have any clue
what's she's talking about

so she probably made it up.

I'm gonna go get more milk.

Oh. Hey, Heather. Hey, Wade.

Can't have pudding without milk!

She's disgusting.

I think I'm going to ask Heather

to bear the gifts
with Jacob today.

Alice, if you want to continue
to be a gift bearer,

you have to conduct yourself
like one.

Your body is a gift from God.

You need to honor it.

In the name of the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Um, bless me Father
for I have sinned.

It has been a week
since my last confession.

These are my sins...

Talking back to my dad...

Not helping my mom
in the kitchen...

Forgetting to feed the dog...

And...

And anything else?

That's it.

For penance,

why don't you do
the dishes for a week?

Give your mom a break.

And ten Hail Marys
and ten Our Fathers.

God, the Father of mercies,

through the death
and resurrection of his Son,

has reconciled
the world to itself

and sent the Holy Spirit
among us

for the forgiveness of sins...

Give us this day
our daily bread,

and forgive us
of our trespasses,

as we forgive those that
trespass against us...

Your body is a gift from God.

It's against God's plan.

You need to honor it.

Or else it is
damnation for all eternity.

Thy will be done
on earth as it is in Heaven.

It's called Kirkos.

I think it'd be good for you.

I don't know.

Ugh!

Father looks so weird
in regular people clothes.

Oh, my God! Nina's here!

She must be one
of the group leaders.

Welcome, everyone.

Who's that?

Are you serious?
That's Chris.

He's only like the star
of the football team.

Welcome to Kirkos.

So, uh, you're gonna be
bunking in my cabin this week.

Hi! Alice, right?

- Yeah.
- Welcome.

I'm Nina. Come with me.
You're in my cabin. Come on.

Sorry.

I'm so excited for you guys.

OK. Find the room
with your name on the door.

Oh, sorry!

I didn't mean to scare you!

You settling in?

I've got a sweatshirt
here for you.

Thanks.

And... next order
of beeswax is...

I'm gonna need
your cell phone and/or watch,

if you have 'em.

Did you bring either one
of those with you?

Mm-hmm.

No phone?

- Mm-mm.
- K.

Don't worry,
you won't be needing

a watch this weekend anyway
because...

you're on Jesus' time!

See ya!

Please find
your small group number!

Cut the chit-chat, please,
and have a seat.

Sit at the table
with your small group number.

Please find
your small group number.

- I guess I'll see you later.
- What?

Group One?

Awesome!

I'm Chris,
Group One's Senior Leader.

Have a seat.

Group One too?
Awesome! Have a seat.

You are here
as a part of God's plan.

His spirit moved each of you
to sign up for this retreat,

which is a unique experience
that will challenge you

in new and profound ways.

Kirkos is a time
to find meaning

in the highs and lows
of your life.

Over these next four days

you will hear
from your classmates

and be invited
to open up as well.

It will strengthen your
relationship with yourself,

but most importantly,
with Jesus.

Now let's get started.

On the papers
that Mrs. Veda is handing out,

you're going to find
a list of feelings.

Go through them
and circle any

that you may have felt
in the past year or so.

There are no wrong answers.
So just, just be honest.

While ladies,
they typically need to...

preheat for a while.

OK. Let's finish up.

Pass your papers
toward the aisles.

And make sure that your name
is printed clearly on top.

Come on.

The other night I dreamt
that I was walking

along the beach with the Lord.

As we walked,

scenes from my life
flashed across the sky

and in each scene,

I noticed that there were
footprints in the sand.

In some scenes there were
two sets of footprints

and in other scenes there was
only one set of footprints.

Hey.

Oh. Hey.

- Hey, Sister Louise.
- Hi.

Do you mind if I snag another
stupendous Walking Taco?

Of course, dear.
You're a growing boy!

And Walking Tacos have lots
of protein and fiber.

Oh, may I have some sour cream
too, please?

- Oh, yes.
- Thank you.

You're welcome.
What about you, dear?

- Oh, no, no thanks.
- No?

No sour cream?
No, that is the best part.

OK.

I guess I'll have some.

How's everything going for you
so far, Alice?

It's great.

You know, it's OK if you think
things are totally weird.

It's supposed to be
a little weird.

At least at first.

I'll see you later, Alice.

OK, bye!

I come from a very big family.

I have four younger siblings
and...

an older sister...

Melissa.

She made honor roll
every semester

and she founded
Habitat for Humanity

at our school.

She's the star of our family.

One time,
I came home at 2:00 a.m....

three hours past my curfew.

And no one even noticed.

It felt like no one cared

if I was there or not.

Um...

Uh...

I'd now like to play
my first song.

♪ You don't notice me
standing here ♪

♪ Wishing you
could somehow feel ♪

♪ I just wish
that you could feel ♪

Last fall,
Melissa came to pick me up

from a friend's house
to take me home.

♪ And each day we were born ♪

And the next thing I remember
is waking up in the hospital

being told that
we were in an accident

and that I had
three broken ribs...

And the first thought
I had was...

Maybe my parents will finally
start to notice me.

Melissa was fine but...

my parents
were still obsessed with her.

It felt like
they blamed me for the accident.

That if she hadn't
had to come and pick me up,

she wouldn't have missed
her Science Bowl nationals.

But then,
I came on to this retreat...

And I realized
that God loves me...

my friends love me...

and...

I love me too.

OK, guys, circle up, circle up.

Now, this is one
of my favorite songs,

and while you're listening,
I want you to imagine

that the eyes in the song
are Jesus's eyes.

♪ Love ♪

♪ I get so lost sometimes ♪

♪ Days pass ♪

♪ And this emptiness
fills my heart ♪

♪ When I want to run away ♪

Would you look at how
these gorgeous pines

contrast against the blue sky?!

Isn't God's paint palette
just magnificent?

So did I tell you Nina
told me she liked my hair

- this morning at breakfast?
- Mm-hmm.

She said she can't do it
with her own hair

because every time she tries it
her hair gets all bumpy.

So I said I could
show her how I do it

and she said she would
invite me over sometime!

Isn't that cool?

Yeah.

I mean, you can come too,
of course, if you want.

Well, maybe I should
ask Nina first

if it's OK that you're there,

but I mean
do you even wanna come?

- Whoa!
- Oh, my God.

Are you OK?

Everything OK here, troops?

Ooh, comrade.

That's quite a battle wound.

Uh-huh.

Can you walk?

- No. No. No.
- OK. Just don't move.

Let's get you to the nurse, huh?

Hey.

I was just coming to let you
know we're doing the group photo

down by the bridge in five.

Great. I'll be there.

Everything OK in here?

Yep.

OK.

What was that?

I specifically asked you
for your phone

on the day you arrived.

Look, I'm gonna have
to tell Father about this.

Uh, Chris,
could you come in, please?

Hey, Alice,
what'd you have for breakfast?

Cereal.

Oh, you didn't have salad?

Like a Wade salad.

OK. Everybody say Jesus Christ!

Jesus Christ!

OK, great!

Guys, head up
toward the cafeteria.

We're gonna have lunch
in our small groups today, OK?

And Alice, Alice, a quick word.

Nina said you kept your phone.

You know, we have a reason
for everything

that we ask you to do here

and it's very important
that you follow our rules.

Sorry, Father.

I hope you understand I can't
let this go unpunished.

Now first, you must empty
the trash receptacles.

There are four of them.

One there... and one there...

and one there...

Come on.

What?

Alice!

- Hey.
- What's up?

Just finished cleaning.

We made S'mores after lunch.

Saved you one.

Thanks.

We pretended each marshmallow
was a different mortal sin

before burning it.

Yours was lust.

Oh.

Look, I want you to know
I'm not mad

about the phone thing, OK?

You're doing a real good job

and I think
you're on the right path now.

So, just keep up
the good work, OK?

OK.

I believe in you.

"Dear Andrew...

Remember when you were little

and Mom and I would tuck you in,

and you would make us kiss you
on both of your cheeks

at exactly the same time

or else
you couldn't fall asleep?

I always thought those
were my favorite memories

from when
we were a young family.

But I was wrong.

Every day is a new
favorite memory with you.

I love you, kiddo.

Love, Dad."

"Dear Laura...

Your father and I
love you so much.

And although
I will always cherish

those days
when you were little,

I love being able to do
adult things with you too...

like getting our nails done

and showing you how to cook
my famous baked ziti.

But no matter what,
you'll always be my baby girl.

I love you so much."

"Dear Alice,

You're a wonderful daughter
and the best church partner

a father could ask for.
It's so amazing

to watch you grow
into the wholesome young woman

God created you to be.
I am so proud of you

for always making good choices.
Love you, Al.

Love, Dad."

Amen.

Amen.

All right.
Like myself

and my fellow senior leaders
have done,

we are now gonna ask

that you all share
your own stories.

Moments when life
was difficult,

or hard, or overwhelming.

Times where you felt
Jesus was far away.

My girlfriend
dumped me last week.

That was really rough.

I thought everything
was going well,

and last week,
she had her friend call me

to break up with me for her.

And I'm pretty sure
it was a three-way call,

and she was listening,
so I acted like it was cool,

but it really sucked.

Thank you, Andrew.

This is really hard
to talk about.

But...

Last month...

my Grandma died.

She lived in Idaho,
so I didn't see her that often.

And like,
it makes me really sad

that we didn't get to talk much
before she died.

The saddest part is...
after her funeral,

we went back to her house,

and her dog was there,
just looking so sad.

It was, like,
walking around the house

looking for her.
It had no idea.

OK...

Um...

Well...

Speaking of dogs...

My dog... Gus...

died a few weeks ago.

Um, our neighbors put out
some chipmunk poison.

He must have got into it
through the chain-link fence.

My family was playing basketball
in our driveway,

and the ball
went over the fence,

and I went to go get it,

and... that's where
I found him...

lying on his side.
He wasn't moving.

- I thought he was just...
- Excuse me.

All right, can I have
your attention, please?

All eyes and ears here.

I'm sorry to report
that earlier this morning,

I found something
rather disturbing

on my office computer.

It appears that someone
has used it

to engage
in an online chat of...

well, let's just say
an explicit nature.

Would anyone like to take
responsibility for this?

I didn't think so.

Now, I have no way
of knowing who did this,

but whoever it was,
even if I don't know you did it,

you do, and so does God.

But in keeping with the theme
of this retreat,

I hope that whomever did do it
feels compelled

by the Spirit of Christ
to come forward

before the retreat is through.

So, Alice,
how would you describe

your relationship with Jesus?

- Fine.
- Just fine?

Fine, as in good.

Do you think that there might
be something getting in the way?

Something that's preventing it
from being better?

OK, well, why don't you try
reflecting back

on that feelings checklist
you filled out

on your first day here.
Do any of the emotions

that you circled on there
bring anything up?

Um...

I was feeling envious
of my best friend

when she got a Beamer
for her birthday,

because I drive
a Buick Le Sabre.

Anything else?

She also got Oakley sunglasses
for Christmas.

What about feeling turned on?

No temptation
has overtaken you

except what is common
to mankind.

And God will not let you
be tempted

beyond what you can bear,
and he knows

what is truly in your heart.

OK.

So, have you ever
felt turned on?

And did you take any action
when you had that feeling?

You didn't take any action?

No.

Nothing with
your classmate Wade?

No.

Someone made that up.

Alice, this retreat
isn't gonna do you any favors

if you're not honest.

How's this?

Wow! That one's huge.
Way to go, Alice.

Thanks.

And when you turn it on,
our plasma rises

out of this little Oak unit.

But when you press off,
it sinks back down

and a Rothko takes its place.

Your rec room sounds amazing!

Hey, Nina, that, um...

leader meeting
is about to start.

Right, right.
I forgot about that.

Thank you. Um, I gotta go.

OK. I'll see you
at the campfire.

Hey!

What?

What is your problem with me?

My problem? My problem is
that Heather almost dumped me

because of that disgusting rumor
you started.

I didn't start it!

Yeah, well,
if you didn't, who did?

I don't know! I...

Did you start it?

No! I have a girlfriend.

OK. Well,
both you and I know

that nothing happened.

Are you telling people that?

You need to start!
Because everyone thinks

that I'm a slut,
even the teachers.

Look, you're
the only other person

who knows what happened.

And no one believes me!

Hey, Wade! What are you
still doing here?

Just on my way out, Father.

OK, good, good.
Hey, how's the old shotput arm

- doing in the off season?
- Good, Father.

Just trying not to do
too much heavy lifting.

...and the colorful,

- The stripes, the stripes!
- Hey!

It's so good.

Can I talk to you
for a minute?

- Um...
- I'll save you a seat.

OK.

What's up?
Nina asked me to sit with her,

so I don't want
to make her wait.

I saw Nina giving Adam
a blow job.

What?!

Yeah. In the woods
after lunch.

Why do you think it's OK
to keep making things up?

I'm not making this up!

Gabby told me you were talking

about your dog dying
in your small group?

- Did Gus die?
- OK, look.

I just said that because...
I didn't know what to do!

I didn't have anything to say,
and everyone had

these really sad stories...

God,
this is just like

that time in sixth grade
when you told everyone

Jason gave you
a "purple nurple"

on the bus.

You want attention.

- OK...
- You know what?

I bet you actually did
toss Wade's salad.

I don't even know
what that means!

Oh, my God. Quit the act.

I know you know what it means,

just like you know
the sex scene in Titanic

comes right after
they're in the car.

You were the one
in Father's office, weren't you?

What?

It makes perfect sense.

And I am sick of constantly
feeling embarrassed

for being friends
with a pervy psycho.

Ugh.

Ugh.

Alice, hey.

Hey.

Is everything all right?

Uh...

Do you wanna talk?

Is everything OK?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?!

You know that I get turned on
like a microwave!

I used to be Catholic.
I went to Catholic school

for 12 years.
I was baptized, confirmed,

the whole kit 'n caboodle.

You're not anymore?

No.

How come?

San Francisco. The '70s.

Sex. Women. Mm.

Lots of reasons.
But I remember being your age

and just being scared shitless

that I was gonna wind up
in hell.

Really?

- For what?
- Oh, God.

For everything.
Cheating on my homework,

for giving up sugar for Lent
and then eating a whole jar

of gumdrops underneath
my grandmother's staircase.

I literally thought
I was going to hell

for eating gumdrops.

And that there would be
a big red devil there

with a poker,
and he'd poke at me.

And my bed would be
made out of coals,

and there'd be nothing
but peas to eat,

'cause I hate peas.

I thought I was
gonna go to hell.

for... rewinding Titanic

back to the sex scene...
three times.

You know, I thought
I was gonna go to hell

for looking through my dad's

Sports Illustrated
Swimsuit Edition.

I thought I was going to hell
for having cybersex!

Yep.

You know, the truth is,
nobody knows what they're doing

any more than the rest of us.
We're all just trying

to figure out our shit.

But be careful online, OK?

Don't give your password
out to anyone,

not even someone who says
they work for AOL.

They don't. They just want
to give you the Melissa virus.

Now, I got to get you back
to that Jesus camp.

I don't want any nuns showing up
at my bar looking for ya.

I know. Come on.
I'll give you a lift.

Mm.

- Thanks.
- No problem, kid.

Hey. Have you thought about
where you might go to college?

Um... probably State?

Why don't you
check out some schools

on the East and West Coasts?

You might like getting
outta this town for a bit.

Wait!

Do you know what...
tossing someone's salad is?

It's means licking
someone's butthole.

Good luck out there, kid.

Hey, how's it going?

I really miss my cat.

Um... what's your cat's name?

Kyoto.

Oh, that's pretty.
What does it mean?

It's a city is Japan.
I love Japan!

I'm going to go with my mom
when I turn 18

as a... a graduation present.

Cool. What are you
gonna do there?

Try all the weird Japanese candy
and eat a ton of sushi.

I've never had sushi.

Oh, my God! It's so good.

We should go to Taki sometime.
They have the best sushi.

- Yeah.
- In this city, anyway.

Hey.

Hey.

So, everyone says
that it was Wade

who used Father's computer.

Oh.

Yeah.

Father found his bracelet
in his office or something.

Mm.

I'm sorry
I thought it was you.

It's OK.

But now that we know
he's a perv,

he probably made up that rumor
about you guys.

He clearly made it up
to hide the fact that he's gay.

What?

Yeah, apparently,

whatever he did
on Father's computer was gay.

But... he has a girlfriend.

Yeah. A girlfriend
who doesn't even kiss

because she's afraid
it'll lead to sex.

The perfect cover-up.

Ew.

We have a mantra
here at Kirkos.

Question the First,
Weep the Second,

Accept the Third,
Live the Fourth.

It refers to
the four days of Kirkos.

Now, they're all pretty
self-explanatory,

except for
that last one: live.

What that means is
to take what you have learned

this weekend, what you
have discovered about yourself,

and incorporate it
into your everyday lives.

To live each day like it
is the fourth day of Kirkos.

Now, I'm going to ask
that you come up here

and speak about
your experiences this weekend

with the whole group.
There's no set order.

Just let the Spirit of Christ
move you.

I, uh...

I gave in to temptation.

This is not who I am,
but I let myself lose control.

This retreat has taught me,
though, that,

through the love
of my friends, teachers,

and, most importantly, Jesus,

that there is nothing
I can't overcome.

Being in high school sucks.

People love to talk, but...

just because you hear something
doesn't mean that it's true.

When people spread lies
about you, it hurts.

It makes you feel alone...

and empty.

And... sometimes...

you do things
that you're not proud of.

But look...

we're all hiding stuff.

All kinds of stuff.
What if we just try

to be honest and to treat
each other with respect?

That's what
Jesus wanted, right?

And then, maybe, we can stop
feeling so guilty

about who we are all the time,
because the truth is,

we're all just trying
to figure out our shit.

Sorry, um...

Have you ever had sushi?

Sushi? You mean
like raw fish?

No.

Who are you gonna go
to church with

when I go to college?

College? That's not
for two more years.

A year and a half.

I don't know.

Maybe I'll start going
to the late service again

so your mom will come.

Besides, State's only
40 minutes away.

Just come home
on the weekends.

Hey.

- Um...
- Hey.

You don't have
to be scared of me.

I... I'm not scared of you.

It won't happen again.

Friends?

Friends.

Hug?

Side hug.

Bless me, Father,
for I have sinned.

It has been a week
since my last confession.

These are my sins.

Talking back to my parents.

Not doing my chores.

Is that it?

No. It's something
that happened on the retreat.

OK.

I watched people having sex.

All right.

It was a video.

There was a man and a woman.

And the woman was wearing
a hot pink bra.

They were on
the hood of a car.

With graffiti on it.

And I did it,

even though I knew
it was a sin.

Will God still forgive me?

That's between you and God.

For penance, fifty Hail Marys
and fifty Our Fathers.

God, the Father of mercies,

through the death and
resurrection of his Son

has reconciled the world
to himself

and sent the Holy Spirit
among us

for the forgiveness of sins...
