Touched by an Angel (1994–2003): Season 8, Episode 10 - Angels Anonymous - full transcript

So, uh, this new angel...

- Gloria.
- Gloria.

Has she learned
to tell time yet?

She's not that late, Rafael.

Well, I don't know. It is...

two pineapples past 11:00.

That is a clock, isn't it?

Maybe she's supposed to be late.

Could be; the Lord
moves in mysterious ways.

"His wonders to perform."

Don't forget that part.



And just because we don't
always know what He's doing

does not mean that He
doesn't know what He's doing.

This assignment is
like a jigsaw puzzle,

and we each have a piece.

We just don't know yet
what the whole picture

- is going to look like.
- Mm.

- So, Andrew, you've got Peter?
- Check.

- Rafael, you've got Karen?
- Mm-hmm.

Tess?

I've got Leigh.

And I've got Michael,
and Gloria's got...

Gloria's got a
lot to catch up on.

Where is she?

I shall wait here for Gloria.



You go ahead.

Okay, see you later.

Merry Christmas.

This is my first one.

Did you know the average
chimney is only two feet in diameter?

So then mathematically,

how could a man that large
fit down an area that small?

And that suit...
What's that about?

Mele Kalikimaka.

Feliz Navi... dad.

Four calling birds.

♪ Three French hens. ♪

Gloria?

Oh, hi. Merry Christmas.

Thank you. Listen,
before you go in there,

there's one thing
that you need to know.

Great, you're here.

- I am?
- Come on. Yeah.

Time is money. Come on.

Come on.

I was just putting up
the Christmas lights.

Ah, 'tis the season to be jolly.

Okay, you're in
time for the show.

Ready?

Three, two, one.

Zero?

Uh, maybe that's why I
found them in the garbage.

Uh, it happened in
here in the kitchen.

Ah, here it is... Exhibit A.

Sorry, buses were
behind schedule.

- What time is it?
- Time for you to get a car, Dave.

Yeah, when I hit the lottery.

Well, in the meantime,
just bring in those

dirty dishes, please, and
get the grill fired up, huh?

- Who is he?
- Eh, nobody.

Now, this mop didn't
soak up enough water,

leaving the floor wet, which
is why when I walked in

I slipped... and I
broke my left arm.

Right arm.

Oh, uh...

detail-orientated...
I admire that.

- Dave?
- Huh?

I got good news and better news.

Yeah?

Yeah.

The good news, I
just sold this place.

The better news,

as of tonight,
you're out of a job.

That's good news?

Lousy for you; good for me.

Maybe I should've
been more specific, huh?

I've been here
five years, Bubba.

I'll talk to the new
owners for you.

They're opening up a sushi
bar. You speak Japanese?

Hello?

We're not open yet.

I'm Karen Schultz.

We spoke on the phone.

I'm representing
you in your lawsuit.

Uh... then who are you?

I'm Gloria. Nice to meet you.

You're not my lawyer?

- N-No, but...
- Get out. Out.

Come on, shoo. Out.

Hey, and you... you and me,

we never met, hmm?

Now shoo. Come on, get going.

Get out.

Okay, um, so what
was that one thing

I really needed to know?

Well, firstly, the man
who shooed you...

Bubba? Yeah, I can see
why he needs an angel.

Yes, he does, and
he'll get one in time,

but Bubba is not
your assignment.

Oh?

We each have a little piece

of one great big assignment,

and if we get it right,

the people whose
lives we're touching

will never know that there
were angels here at all.

Okay, let's go
over this paperwork.

- Mr. Mitchell?
- Yeah?

You're claiming a faulty
product caused a slip and fall,

breaking your arm.

Try not to use it so much.

Oh. Yeah.

All right, now, for the record,

I'll assume everything
you tell me is true.

If you tell me
something that's not true,

- I don't want to know.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Look, how much you think
we can make off of this?

Well, I'm asking for $25,000,

but who knows how you'll
prove your arm is actually broken.

For half of $25K,
lady, I'll let you break it.

Yeah, well, off the record,
for half of $25K, I just might.

Personally, I'd
go for the purple.

That does it... my Christmas
shopping is officially finished.

Congratulations, and so early.

Well, my husband
worked out a schedule.

Get all the shopping
done by the first,

wrap them by the fifth,
ship them by the tenth,

Christmas cards
go out on the 15th,

Christmas tree
goes up on the 20th.

Uh, does he have Christmas
scheduled in there anywhere?

Oh, breakfast at
8:00, presents at 9:00,

turkey at noon,
football 2:00 to 8:00.

You're kidding?

Sort of.

Thank you so much, Mrs.
Alcott-hyphen-Rendon.

That's some kind of last name.

Well, I wanted to keep a
little something of my old self.

Mm.

Thank you.

Leigh... I said
meet me out front.

Well, H was, but I... I
looked in the window,

and I saw a beautiful
scarf for your mother.

My mother?

How much did you spend?

Ho, ho, ho.

Now we're late.

We're gonna have to skip lunch.

No, no, you don't
have to do that.

Everybody needs lunch

to have the energy to...
stick to the schedule.

Is there a place to eat nearby?

Oh, a lovely place, just a
little ways down the road.

You can't miss it. Polynesian.

Lot of atmosphere.

And no waiting.

Thank you.

How much did we buy?

Um, just what was on the list.

Well, we should have
edited the list a little.

Lord, just give me five
minutes with that man.

That's all I need, five minutes.

Uh, excuse me, I-I really
like this sweater for my sister,

uh, and I was wondering howl
would know if it would fit her.

Well, what size is she?

Sorry, I'm a guy.

Well, I noticed that.

Well, what you need to do
is to find somebody her size

and have them try it on for you.

Well, she's, um...
she's... small.

Like her?

Yeah. Yeah, just like
her. Perfect. Thank you.

Good.

Excuse me, um...

this might sound
strange, but I, uh...

- You'd like me to try that on for you?
- Yeah.

- Y-You don't mind?
- No. Not at all.

Geez, I appreciate that.

I worked late last night,

and I'm too tired
to make a decision.

There. What do you think?

I think I'm... I'm
glad I came in here.

Good.

Right. Thank you.

Thanks. I'll take it.

By the way, my name's...

Michael.

This is Rafael... he's
representing the mop company.

This is Mr. Mitchell,
the accident victim.

Alleged accident victim.

Your mop broke my arm.

Look, I know my rights.

I'm entitled to fair
and just compensation.

What my client means is
that the mop in question

was defective, which
caused a slip and fall.

Right arm, huh?

Right arm.

You got the whole
arm this time, huh?

Yeah.

I'm sorry, what do
you mean, "this time"?

Well, I did some
checking, and it turns out

Mr. Mitchell's had quite a run
of bad luck lately. Haven't you?

Three years ago,
this place was called

Bubba's Bratwurst Bungalow,
and you got your finger caught

in a defective sausage maker.

Two years ago, it was Bubba's
Pizza and Pasta Company,

and you got your finger caught
in a defective pasta machine,

and last year... This is
my personal favorite...

Bubba's Egg Roll House.

You got really creative.

Got your finger stuck
in a bottle of saki.

Well, it's immaterial,
Counselor.

Just because previous suits
have been rejected does not prove

- this suit frivolous.
- No, it doesn't.

Heads up.

Ow?

But that does.

Ow.

Seymour?

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty.

Well, enjoy the sushi.

Hey, old man,
give me ten dollars.

Haven't got ten dollars.

Hey, he's got a
ring, man... Get that.

No, no.

- Don't make me cut you, man.
- Cut him, man, cut him!

Come on, man...
give me the ring!

Hey!

Hey, get away from him! Stop!

We got the wallet, man...
Let's get out of here.

Are you okay?

How's that feeling?

Great.

Day keeps getting
better and better.

Well, what a wonderful attitude.

And here I thought you
were having a terrible day.

Lady, that almost
makes me smile.

Almost.

I'm Gloria.

I'm Dave.

That man was about to cut
off your hand to get that ring.

How could you risk
your life for that?

You!

I know, I know.

Shoo.

I'm glad you're okay.

This car was just serviced.

It's nice.

Must've cost you a
lot of billable hours.

You couldn't meet me
at my office, could you?

You had to drag me out to
this godforsaken neighborhood.

Godforsaken?

Not necessarily.

Nice to meet you.

I'm gonna cut right
to the chase, Dave.

I sold this place for peanuts,

just to get rid of it...

and I thought I was gonna
come by some money,

get me started somewhere else,

but that never happened, hmm?

Wish I could help
you out, Bubba,

but I'm a little
strapped for cash.

I'm unemployed, remember?

I don't need your money, Dave.

I'm offering you a
chance to get in on plan B.

The fire inspectors
told me for years

that this place
is a weenie roast

just waiting to happen.

You know how quick bamboo burns?

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about money.

I'm fully insured here.

Now, you help me out with this,

and we'll split it right
down the middle, 60/40.

Nah.

You're talking...
arson and fraud.

40%?

- I don't know.
- Hey, Mr. High-and-Mighty,

you have no family,
no job, no prospects.

Standards are nice
but you can't eat them.

Father, what do I do now?

Look, I got to hang
some more lights.

You... you go and get the stuff.

Take the cash and the list.

If you're gonna
burn the place down,

why bother with Christmas?

It's gonna look like a
tragic holiday accident.

Ho, ho, ho.

God, I'm good, hmm?

I still don't know
what the problem is.

Which, of course,
is the problem.

I'd nearly forgotten
what he looks like.

His face is always
buried in the paper,

obsessed with NASDAQ.

The markets are volatile
right now. Yvette knows that.

I also know that I'd
love to start a family.

If you looked at me
the same way you look

at the Dow Jones
industrial average,

I'd have a baby by now.

Okay, look, what
you're saying is

that I'm sitting in a room

with two very
successful stockbrokers

who want their marriage

to be more than just one
long business meeting.

- Exactly.
- No. Hold on.

We discussed the kids thing.

We agreed to wait, Yvette.

And we did wait, and I'm
actually glad we waited.

I just don't want
to wait too long?

When you two got married,

you vowed to love each
other, not just work together.

So here's what I want you
to do. I want you to spend

an hour together talking
about anything but work.

Peter, okay?

I'm not sure what good it'll
do, but we can give it a try.

Okay, good.

Now go get in the car

and go someplace
different, all right?

You said you got
married in Hawaii, right?

Yeah.

Okay, so maybe what you need

is a second honeymoon,
and I know just the place.

Where is that bus?!

16 blocks away with
an overheated engine.

Just a wild guess.

Look, I don't have time to talk.

I got to get moving, somehow.

Ooh!

My friend Tess has, uh, a car.

Yeah?

Yes, and...

I believe she
wants me to use it.

Great.

Yeah, so would
you like to wait here,

and I'll come pick
you up, or we could...?

I... do... not... care.

Where is it?

Over there... somewhere.

Oh.

I'll wait.

There's plenty of room. Come on.

Come on.

Yeah.

Hey, hello. Hello!

What's your name?

Monica.

I'm sorry.
What-what... what is it?

Monica.

Michael.

I can't believe I
ran into you again.

My dentist is in this building.

Aah. Oh!

Excuse me.

Monica, wait.

Sorry. I'm late.

How are you?

Oh, this has got to be the
biggest dump in Phoenix.

Hello, folks.

Welcome to Bubba's
Polynesian Paradise.

Your menus.

Just have a seat anywhere.

How about down the street?

Oh, please, Jimmy.
I'm starving. Please.

I know it was

just serviced. The tire's flat,

and I've lost half a day
waiting for the tow truck.

Sorry, ma'am.

How are you gonna
make this right?

Oh, did I mention,
I'm an attorney?

Put your manager on. I'll hold.

Restrooms?

Men's or women's?

Hi, folks.

Welcome to Bubba's
Polynesian Paradise.

- There you go.
- Thanks.

- There's your menu.
- Thank you.

Just have a seat anywhere.

Second honeymoon, huh?

Yeah? You want to go back
to the office? We can go...

No. No. That table
over there is fine.

Oh, great. Today
business picks up.

Uh, excuse me.

The woman that just came in
this bar... where-where is she?

Take your pick.

If I get ptomaine, I
am suing this place,

I'm suing that saleslady,
and I'm suing you.

Michael?

Remember me?

We-We went to
Central High together.

Leigh.

Leigh Alcott?

Yes.

Leigh Alcott-Rendon now.

Who is this guy?

Oh, Michael Reilly. We
went to school together.

Oh, yeah? You ever date?

Oh, no. Leigh was...
Leigh was too smart

to get mixed up
with a guy like me.

Jimmy Rendon.

Anybody who's not
such a good friend

of my wife's is
a friend of mine.

Buy me a drink.

Something with an umbrella.

Mm-hmm.

And the company has
paternity leave now,

so the fathers can
take time right at...

What are you looking at?

I'm sorry, baby, I swear,
I know these people.

Leigh.

- Peter Lakes.
- Exactly.

We had history together.

Oh, yeah? What kind of history?

History class.

Fine. Then I'll sue you.

Oh, and don't
think that I won't,

because I can be one nasty...

I'll get back to you.

Karen Schultz.

Leigh Alcott?

Yes!

Oh!

It's, uh, Leigh
Alcott-Rendon now.

Anyway, Peter Lakes is here.

Oh, get... And you'll
never guess who else.

Michael.

Karen.

This is so strange.

I... Isn't it bizarre
that we're all here?

Well, now we know
how the pieces fit.

They all know each other.

Yeah, but what
are they doing here?

And what does Dave the
dishwasher have to do with it?

He's a busboy.

All I know is, Gloria is
supposed to get him here pronto.

I wonder what's
taking her so long?

I don't know.

I gave her the keys to my car...

I gave her the keys to my car.

You opened your
own law practice, huh?

Helping the
downtrodden, no doubt.

See, Karen was
always sticking up

for the underdog. St.
Karen we called her.

- You remember the time...
- Why don't you go talk to him?

Excuse me? Talk to whom?

The guy that you keep
trying not to stare at.

Michael is it?

Honey, you don't even
know these people.

No, no, no, it's okay.

Um, Michael and I had a thing

a long time ago, Yvette.

It's no biggie.

Hey, that Karen's
not bad looking.

For a lawyer.

No, thanks. Been
there, survived that.

Okay, why don't we all

just sit for lunch here?
Why don't we put these

- tables together.
- Oh, that's Leigh for you.

Voted most likely
to organize lunch.

Oh... So, Miss Class President,

which Fortune 500 company
did you end up running?

Well, actually, I am
a stay-at-home mom.

Really?

I never would've predicted that.

That's a perfectly
legitimate choice, Peter.

Well, it's not like I gave
up the things I wanted to do.

Jimmy and I had an agreement.

He would get his career going,

you know, and then
I'd have a chance to...

Hmm.

It's sort of a dream
deferred kind of thing.

Yeah.

But, hey, as it turns out,

it's a full-time job just
being my wife. Right, babe?

Why don't we all just sit?

I-I got a newspaper so you
could look at the classified ads

and-and get a new job.

Oh, great.

Check out and see what they
got for a busboy in his 605.

The only place that's gonna
hire me is another dive,

just like Bubba's.

So, folks, how is everything?

Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

So you all took
history together?

Survived history
is more like it.

Mr. Price was tough, man.

Seniors are supposed
to be able to slack off.

I guess Price
never got the memo.

He gave so much homework,
I didn't have one date all year.

None of us had a life that year.

And neither does he
anymore. I heard he died.

Yeah, heart attack, right?

No. Someone told
me car accident.

I heard suicide.

Suicide?

Well, he was intense.

You remember his favorite line?

- Huh, who could forget it?
- What was it?

If you didn't know the
answer to something,

you weren't allowed
to say "I don't know."

Why not?

Because Mr. Price said
the answer was always there

if you just bothered
to look for it.

Well, how were you
supposed to answer it?

You had to say...
"I do not care."

You got it.

You know, you
don't have to do this.

Do what?

What you're thinking of
doing with all these things.

It's just supplies.

Supplies for what?

I thought the restaurant
was closing after tonight.

What is your point?

Well, I know you think you
need to be back at the restaurant,

and a few minutes ago I
thought you were supposed

to be back there, but what if
you're really supposed to not?

Okay, my point is

that if tonight is the last
night anyway, why go back?

You don't even like that job.

Why taunt yourself
with the past?

Or jeopardize your future?

Why not just move on?

Don't look back. Come
on. I'll take you anywhere

you want to go. What do you say?

Anywhere?

Anywhere.

I want to go back to Bubba's.

You're a nice girl.
Don't think so much.

Ticktock, Leigh.
Ticktock, all right?

Oh, Jimmy, let's not
leave yet. This is as close

as I've gotten to one
of my class reunions.

You know, I've never
been to one either.

There are some people
you just don't want to run into.

Hmm. I can relate.

I'm having fun with my friends.

"Friends"? You hardly
know these people anymore.

What do you mean "friends"?

Well, I feel like I know
'em a little bit better

than I know you right now.

Don't talk to me like that.

Don't talk to her that way.

You know, Leigh was the
valedictorian of our class.

She should be the one out
doing great things with her life.

When's it her turn?

Or-or was it ever
gonna be her turn?

No, no, no. You know, it's okay.

This is their business, Michael.

Surprise, surprise. Look
who's not backing me up.

Oh, after all these years,
everything is still about you.

Uh-oh, here we go. Stand clear.

- I agree with Michael.
- Is that standing clear?

I have my own mind. You do
not tell me what I can and can't do.

- I am not Leigh.
- Excuse me? «JIMMY: You cannot

- speak to my wife that way.
- Excuse me?

Who asked you?

Excuse me.

Excuse me! Excuse me, miss!

I blew it. I couldn't stop him.

Little Angel,

you're going to have to
stop trying to figure out

what God wants you to do
and start listening instead.

There's a reason why
Dave had to be gone,

and there's a reason
why he had to be back.

And now you're about to find
out what those reasons are.

D-Do you have my keys?

Whew.

- Did you get everything?
- Yeah.

You know something?

I'm gonna kind
of miss this joint.

Be like setting
fire to an old friend.

Sentimentality is for losers.

The more you let things matter
to you, the more you get hurt.

I don't get emotionally
involved with anything, nothing,

and if I get close, I just
keep repeating to myself

over and over again,

"I... do... not... care."

Did you hear that?

It can't be.

It's impossible.

Mr. Price?

It is you, isn't it?

You taught us history at
Central High in Paradise Valley.

No, uh... you got
the wrong guy, lady.

That's your Big Bad Mr. Price?

The busboy?

I-I'm not your man.

Wow, I could've
sworn... Me, too.

Man, nobody ever
said "I do not care"

like Mr. Price.

Fasten your seat belts.

What's wrong with you?

You look like you
just saw a ghost.

Give me a minute.

Oh. I wish I'd listened to you.

- I wish I'd never come back here.
- What's the matter?

There's a bunch of people
in there I-I used to know

a long time ago, and... I don't
want 'em to see me like this.

Well, who are they?

Students of mine.

I used to teach 'em history.

That doesn't matter anymore.
Nothing matters anymore.

Well, you were willing
to lose your hand

rather than give up that ring.

What are you saying?

You think I-I just want
to hang onto the past?

Well, Dave, your
past is sitting inside.

I don't know why, but I do
know it's not a coincidence.

Then what is it?

An opportunity.

You can run away from them,

but you can't run
away from yourself.

Why do they all have
to show up today?

- Why today of all days?
- Because

today of all days, you
were about to make

a terrible decision,

and somebody knew
you needed a friend.

Or four.

What are you saying,
somebody up there likes me?

Oh, more than that.

Five dollars. I'm throwing
in five dollars more.

I am Dave Price.

Shh!

I was a teacher for 30 years.

You know, you become a
teacher because y-you think

you can help people, you
think you can make a difference.

It was always the same.

Some-some kid in the back

falling asleep on his
desk, some-some kid

in the front sucking
up for good grades.

Every year the same-same
students, different names.

They all had one
thing in common:

they all hated me.

We did not hate you.

Maybe you just...
did... not... care.

Mr. Price, we heard you died.

Well, in a way I did.

What happened, Mr. Price?

About five years ago I
had a student named Kevin.

Football player. I-I figured him

for a dumb jock in the
long line of dumb jocks.

Not Kevin.

No, he really got it.

Asked a lot of questions...
The smart ones always do...

And he hung on every word I
said like they really mattered,

'cause they did matter to him.

He really got it.

And he couldn't wait to-to
take it out into the world

and put it to use.

He asked me to write his
college recommendation letter.

I got him his first
choice, Ivy League.

You know what I
wrote in that letter?

One sentence. That
was it... one sentence.

I wrote, "Kevin...

is the reason I'm a teacher."

When he graduated,

I was as proud as if...
as if he were my own kid.

Where's Kevin now?

Driving to college cross-country
he was killed by a drunk driver.

This is his high school ring.

His parents gave it to me.

They said he'd
want me to have it.

I-I kept on teaching, but...

it wasn't the same.

I-I mean, it was the same.

Same kid in the back
falling asleep on his desk,

same kid in the front
sucking up for good grades.

My failures were
still failures...

and my successes
were failures, too.

After a while, you...

I mean, why start a year when
you know how it's gonna end?

So here I am...

where I really
make a difference.

Well, sounds like a bad time.

Maybe we should
just call it a day, huh?

Peter...

do you remember
your first job interview?

I remember my
first job interview.

I was scared stiff, but
when I walked in to meet

the personnel director,
all I could think about

was something you
taught us, Mr. Price.

There are two kinds of people...

The ones who read
about history, and the ones

- who make it. Yes.
- And the ones who make it.

All of a sudden I was fine.

I got the job, and I've
been working ever since.

Peter... Peter Lakes.

Peter Lakes, yeah.

You... you were always driven.

- That's my baby.
- And if I remember correctly,

you always sat in front.

Yeah, always had to
have your hand up first

to answer a question.

Seemed more important
to be first than to be right.

Still driven, Peter?

Still... working that hard?

Yeah.

But maybe it's time for
me to rethink my strategy.

Don't be afraid.

Say what you want to say.

Mr. Price.

You were my favorite
teacher of all time.

You were tough, but...

I really felt like I could
be myself in your class.

I hope my kids have a
teacher like you someday.

Oh... I was Leigh Alcott then.

Uh, Leigh Alcott-Rendon now.

Oh, yeah.

You were the noisy one.

Never afraid to stand up
for what you believed in.

Your conclusions
were all over the map,

but you stood up for
what you believed in.

That's important.

But somewhere along
the line I think I forgot that.

Tell him what he did for you.

Karen Schultz, Mr. Price.

I went into law because of you.

I always heard your voice
talking about what was right

and what was wrong,
and it inspired me

to want to make the
world a better place.

Well, congratulations.

What sort of law
do you practice?

Well, I started
out in legal aid,

but I'm a personal
injury attorney now.

This gives you a great
deal of satisfaction?

No.

No, not really.

And you are?

I-I'm Michael Reilly.

Michael Reilly. Right.

You used to sit in the back

of the room with your chair
leaning up against the wall,

lost in your own little world,
and you wanted no part of ours.

Yeah. Yeah, I guess so.

But all that changed
one day, didn't it?

But all that changed one day.

It was about ten years
after I'd taken your class.

I'd just, uh...

been... dumped by my fiancée
a week before the wedding.

It was two weeks.

Because I was selfish and unable
to care for anybody but myself.

And then it hit me,
something that you...

you had said.

How you used to call history

"his and her story."

That we were all in it together.

The poem. Tell
him about the poem.

The poem, man, the poem.

I memorized the poem...

and spaced it on the test.

But ten years later
it came back to me.

John Donne.

"Devotions Upon
Emergent Occasions,

Meditation 17."

"No man is an
island, entire of itself.

"Every man is a
piece of the continent,

"a piece of the main...

"and if a clod be
washed away by the sea,

"Europe is the less.

"Any man's death diminishes me,

"for I am involved in mankind

and, therefore, never send to
know for whom the bell tolls..."

"It tolls for thee."

And that was the
day that I decided

to become a member of the world.

I'm a paramedic.

You're a paramedic?

I saved somebody's
life last night.

And that man will have a future,
his wife will have a husband,

and his kids'“ have a daddy.

But not just because of me.

Because of you, too, Mr. Price.

Thank you.

You'll all excuse me, please.

You really did
make a difference.

Yeah.

And I still can.

I'm not an arsonist.

I'm a teacher.

And you know something, Bubba?

You may be a lot of things,

but I don't think you're
an arsonist, either.

Hey, I need help in here!

Yes, you do, because you've got

more broken than a
phony arm, Bubba Mitchell.

But don't worry about it
'cause I'm here to help you fix it.

So, dinner Friday night
work for everybody?

Anywhere but here.

Sorry, Friday night's
my poker night.

Leigh's got babysitting duty.

No, actually,
Leigh's gonna go out

that night, and you're gonna
be at home with the kids.

- You want me to babysit?
- No, you're their father.

When you do it,
it's called parenting.

I like the sound of that.

Michael, I am so sorry.

I just panicked.

And I sometimes... I feel
it's the biggest mistake

I ever made in my life.

You think about it, too, huh?

Mm.

You want to get a cup of coffee?

Yeah.

Listen, uh...: I
got to say this.

Maybe it's just me, but...

does anyone else
here have the feeling

that what happened
here today was...

more than mere coincidence?

The Lord moves
in mysterious ways,

His wonders to perform,

and He has performed
something wonderful here today.

He has blessed you with gifts

that some may call coincidence,
some simply take for granted...

The smiles of old friends,

the warm embrace of love,
the healing power of truth.

Angels have passed
this way today,

and though you cannot see us,

your hearts know
that we were here,

and it is to your
hearts that we speak

and say...

God loves you so
very, very much.

Did you say something?

No.

Well... it was really
great to see you guys.
