You know, they always leave, Charlotte. That's the difference between us and them. And you guess you're one of us now.

Hi, this is Wendy. Leave me a message.
[voicemail beeps]
They put up a cross. Jesus fuck! They put up a cross.
I want our old life back.
I'm so sorry. It doesn't exist anymore, sweetheart. We have to stay together as a family.
I miss my friends.
Your friends are always gonna be your friends, no matter what.
You don't know that. You made it so that I can't tell them anything. I have to pretend like the worst, scariest, most damaging thing in my life is actually fucking awesome.
They're gonna be fuckin' late on the first day again.
School's a waste anyway. They read all the wrong shit.
Oh, that'll play great in a job interview.

Peter came to me last night in a dream and told me that this community wants a church.
Peter?
MYMason Young
Peter, the apostle. The rock on which the church was built.
Right.
MYMason Young
Well, sewage was so different back then, you know?
GYGrace Young
We have a child to worry about now.
MYMason Young
That God will protect. Just like he did in St. Louis.
GYGrace Young
Mason...
MYMason Young
That bullet was three-tenths of an inch from rupturing my aorta. But it went clean through. That is not a coincidence.
GYGrace Young
God wasn't protecting you. The kid had shitty aim.
[Buddy Holly is singing on the car radio]
Here we go. Buddy Holly's a perfect example. Buddy Holly, the day he died, uh...
Yeah, I know, he won a coin flip, or he wouldn't have been on the plane.
No, it was actually Valens that won the coin toss. It was Buddy Holly that chartered the plane. Do you wanna know why?
'Cuz he was tired of riding in shitty buses?
No, he was tired of shitty underwear. So he decided that he wanted to get to wherever he was going as quickly as possible, so he could do laundry.
[Wendy Byrde chuckles]
It's true.
So you're saying "The Day the Music Died" was because of soiled briefs?
Another good example is D-Day. The Nazis knew that we were coming, so they wanted to line the beach with tanks so they could literally blow us out of the water. But Hitler decided that it was a good day for sedatives. So they couldn't wake him up to get the final sign-off for the tanks, and the rest is history.
What the hell are you talking about?
I'm talking about decisions.
What, I'm Hitler in this analogy?
No.
I would hope not.
[chuckles] Uh, I'm just saying that any decision made, big or small, has an impact around the world. It's difficult.
Marty, I just don't need a theoretical analysis right now.
I know. I'm just saying this is tough.
I know... Marty, watch out!
[truck hits them]
BLBruce Liddell
Marty, you can't blame yourself for what happened.
I know.
BLBruce Liddell
Do you?
Yeah.
BLBruce Liddell
I'm serious; there's nothing you could do about it. Like my dad always said, "Everything happens for a reason."
Your dad sounds like he was full of shit. With all due respect.
BLBruce Liddell
Yeah, well, perhaps.
You really believe that? You really think that there's some preordained chart, floating around up in the ether, with our fate all figured out?
BLBruce Liddell
I don't know about a preordained chart...
That's a bunch of crap. Things happen because human beings make decisions, they commit acts, and that makes things happen. And it creates a snowball effect with the, you know, their world around them, causes other people to make decisions. Cycle continues, snowball keeps rolling. And even when that's not the case, when life's events are not connected to other people's decisions and actions, it's not some bullshit fucking test sent down from the universe to check your resolve, you know.
BLBruce Liddell
Okay.
I mean, what would the reason be for some healthy five-year-old to get a brain tumor? Or why would a tsunami wipe out a village? You tell those families everything happens for a reason. No, sometimes people make decisions, shit happens, and we gotta act accordingly. Or you can... crawl in a hole and die, you know?
BLBruce Liddell
Well, it was a shitty thing for me to say and I'm sorry, bud.
Grab what you can while you can.
I, just, uh, you know...
What? The risks?
Yes.
Well, I understand, but you only really have to worry about the risks if you are careless or dumb. And you're neither.
[to his bookeeper] You see, the feds were snooping around, which caused you to make some piss-poor attempt to cover your tracks. Which allowed a shrewd person like Marty Byrde to identify your shoddy work and thieving ways. Which then inspires me to pursue Mr. Byrde, and this allows me to dispense with you. Isn't that something, huh? The wonderful convergence between cause and effect, and a bit of good luck. Bad luck in your case, Louis. The universe is a funny, funny place with all of its chaos.
[having just witnessed a murder and mutilation] Jesus Christ!
HHenchman
[holding up eyeballs] What d'you want me to do with 'em?
Save them for a rainy day. [to Marty] You don't know how wonderful it is to have someone on board that I can trust.
What, Buddy?
Oh, nothing. I was just thinking, if my ex-wife and I had had it out like that, we might still be together. Anyway the two of you are up to your ballsacks in drama, tell you that.
How'd that Sam thing go?
We own a funeral home now.
Of course we do.
[about their latest cash influx] Skip wrapping it. Just get it out of sight.
No, I can't just stack bills in a wall and call it a day. There's rot, and there's termites, there's rats. First year I did this, Bruce lost 300K in two days to squirrels.
