“The Great Destroyer” · Season 2, Episode 8

In this episode: Daniel Holden (3), Tawney Talbot (2), Amantha Holden (1), Jon Stern (1), Trey Willis (1)

I can't remember the last time I used a pay phone. The last time I saw one, even.

They're hard to find. But it felt good to use a telephone that wasn't smarter than me.

You're afraid, Wendall.

WJWendall Jelks

Shit, boy. I ain't scared of nothing.

I've never realized it 'til just now.

WJWendall Jelks

What am I afraid of?

Silence.

WJWendall Jelks

Just 'cause a man likes to talk don't mean he's afraid.

Ah, there's more than one kind of silence. In the real world you can live in denial, but not in here, not with your death on the docket. How long you got left, Wendall? I bet you already know. I bet you're counting the days. And I bet you're terrified.

WJWendall Jelks

Do you think you're above it, Holden? Hmm? We ain't that different, you and me, two sides of the same coin.

We're not even the same currency.

Why did you want me to get saved, Tawney?

'Cause I wanted you to have salvation. I wanted you to know peace, I still want that for you.

And do you know peace, Tawney?

Sometimes.

And you think that peace comes from God?

I know it doesn't come from ourselves.

Do you believe that, or do you have to believe that because otherwise life would be intolerable for you?

I believe that because it's true.

Or is it true because you believe it?

Yes, both I guess.

So if I believe there is no God, then there is no God.

It's not the same thing.

Why not?

'Cause you're just lost, Daniel.

Something we can agree upon.

AWAlice Willis

Where did you go last night, daddy?

Oh, come here. [picks her up] You want to get married someday, Alice?

AWAlice Willis

I do.

Then never ask a man where he's been.
