[Man] AND HE IS TESTING US.
EVERY, EVERY DAY, OUR LORD IS TESTING US.
IF HE WASN'T TESTING US, HOW WOULD YOU ACCOUNT...
FOR THE SORRY STATE OF OUR SOCIETY?
FOR THE CRIMES...
THAT PLAGUE THE BIG CITIES OF THIS COUNTRY?
WHEN HE COULD SWEEP THIS PESTILENCE FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH...
WITH ONE MIGHTY GESTURE OF HIS HAND.
IF OUR LORD WASN'T TESTING US,
HOW WOULD YOU ACCOUNT FOR THE PROLIFERATION THESE DAYS...
OF THIS OBSCENE... ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC,
WITH ITS GOSPEL OF EASY SEXUALITY...
AND RELAXED MORALITY?
IF OUR LORD WASN'T TESTING US,
WHY, HE COULD TAKE ALL THESE PORNOGRAPHIC BOOKS AND ALBUMS...
AND TURN THEM INTO ONE BIG FIERY CINDER LIKE THAT!
BUT HOW WOULD THAT MAKE US STRONGER FOR HIM?
ONE OF THESE DAYS, MY LORD IS GONNA COME TO ME...
AND ASK ME FOR AN EXPLANATION FOR THE LIVES OF EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU.
AND WHAT AM I GONNA TELL HIM ON THAT DAY?
THAT I WAS BUSY?
THAT I WAS TIRED?
THAT I WAS BORED?
NO! I CAN NEVER LET UP!
I WELCOME HIS TEST.
I WELCOME THIS CHALLENGE OF MY LORD SO THAT ONE DAY...
I CAN DELIVER ALL OF YOU UNTO HIS HANDS.
AND WHEN THAT DAY DAWNS, I DON'T WANNA HAVE TO DO ANY EXPLAINING.
I DON'T WANT TO BE MISSING...
FROM YOUR LIVES.
PRAISE THE LORD IN SINGING.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? WATCHING.
THOUGHT I WAS ALONE. HMM, NOT IN THIS TOWN.
THERE'S EYES EVERYWHERE.
HOW COME YOU DON'T LIKE ME? WHAT MAKES YOU THINK...
I DON'T LIKE YOU? LOOK. YOU NEVER TALK TO ME AT SCHOOL.
YOU NEVER LOOK AT ME.
YEAH, WELL, MAYBE BECAUSE IF I DID, YOUR BOYFRIEND WOULD REMOVE MY LUNGS WITH A SPOON.
CHUCK CRANSTON DOESN'T OWN ME.
SURE, HE LIKES TO ACT LIKE HE DOES, BUT HE DOESN'T.
DO YOU WANNA KISS ME?
SOMEDAY.
HEY, WHAT IS THIS "SOMEDAY" SHIT?
I GET THE FEELING YOU'VE BEEN KISSED A LOT.
I'M AFRAID I'D SUFFER BY COMPARISON.
YOU DON'T THINK MUCH OF ME, DO YOU?
YOU THINK I'M SMALL TOWN?
I THINK BOMONT'S A SMALL TOWN.
I'M GOIN' AWAY.
I'VE ALREADY APPLIED TO COLLEGES.
YOU KNOW, I APPLIED TO COLLEGES MY FATHER DOESN'T EVEN KNOW I APPLIED TO.
HE'S GONNA COME AFTER ME, BUT I'M GONNA BE GONE.
[Sighs]
WANNA SEE SOMETHING?
SURE.
WE CALL IT "THE YEARBOOK."
IT STARTED, OH, FOUR OR FIVE YEARS AGO, I GUESS.
IT'S STUFF WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO READ.
THIS IS ALL OUT OF BOOKS?
WELL, MOST OF IT. SOME SONGS, MAGAZINES.
SOME POEMS THAT GET MADE UP.
"I'LL SING TO YOU OF SILVER SWANS, OF KINGDOMS AND CARILLONS."
"I'LL SING OF BODIES INTERTWINED, UNDERNEATH AN INNOCENT SKY."
YOU WROTE THAT?
IT'S NOT EVEN ONE OF MY BEST.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
WAIT A MINUTE. YOU HEAR THAT? [Train Approaching]
WHAT? THE TRAIN. YOU HEAR IT?
[Train Whistle Blowing In Distance]
SOMETIMES AFTER FOOTBALL GAMES, WE COME OUT HERE,
JUST A FEW OF US, AND WE STAND HERE.
THEN, WHEN THE TRAIN COMES, WE MAKE OUT LIKE CRAZY.
OH, YEAH?
BUT MOST OF THE TIME WE JUST STAND AND SCREAM.
[Railroad Crossing Bells Ringing] GREAT.
YEAH, SAW IT IN A MOVIE ONCE. REAL LOUD. FROM HERE.
OH! [Chuckles]
[Train Whistle Blows]
HEY, COME ON. DON'T SCREW AROUND, HUH?
[Train Whistle Blows]
[Screams]
COME ON.
I'LL TAKE YOU HOME.
- IT'S LATE. - YEAH.
IT'S KIND OF HARD TO IMPOSE A CURFEW ON THE YOUNG PEOPLE IN MY CONGREGATION...
THAT I CAN'T EVEN ENFORCE IN MY OWN HOME.
HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING?
NO.
YOU SMOKING SOMETHING?
NO! I WASN'T STEALING. I WASN'T GAMBLING.
I WASN'T DANCING. I WASN'T READING BOOKS I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO.
I AM LATE!
WELL, WHO WERE YOU WITH?
REN MacCORMACK.
I DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE HIM ANYMORE. WHY?
I'VE HEARD HE'S A TROUBLEMAKER.
JUST 'CAUSE HE HASN'T LIVED IN THIS TOWN FOR 20 YEARS DOESN'T MAKE HIM A TROUBLEMAKER.
ARIEL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO WITH YOU.
THERE AIN'T NOTHIN' TO DO WITH ME, DADDY.
YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. THIS IS IT.
IT DOESN'T GET MUCH BETTER.
[Willard] HEY, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? WHY'D YOU GET KICKED OFF THE TEAM?
BECAUSE SOMEBODY'S GOT IT IN FOR ME.
SOMEHOW COACH FINDS OUT I BROUGHT ARIEL HOME LATE LAST NIGHT,
SO I'M A TROUBLEMAKER, RIGHT?
YEAH, BUT THAT'S NOT WHY I'M OFF THE TEAM, SEE.
OH, NO. I'M OFF THE TEAM 'CAUSE THEY JUST DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS...
FOR ONE MORE GYMNAST THIS YEAR, BUT THANK YOU ANYWAY.
I'M BUSTIN' MY BALLS TRYIN' TO FIT IN HERE,
AND EVERY DOOR IS GETTING SLAMMED IN MY FACE. HEY, MacCORMACK.
SORRY TO HEAR YOU GOT CAUGHT.
[Boy] DON'T FOOL AROUND WITH THE PREACHER'S DAUGHTER!
HOW DOES ANYBODY LIVE IN THIS TOWN?
YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS, PARTNER. YOU GOT AN ATTITUDE PROBLEM.
I GOT AN ATTITUDE PROBLEM? YES!
AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO'S NOTICED IT, REN.
WE'RE NOT LIVING IN THE GODDAMN MIDDLE AGES HERE.
WE GOT TV. WE GOT FAMILY FEUD.
WE'RE NOT STUCK IN LEAVE IT TO BEAVER LAND HERE.
YEAH, WELL, I HAVEN'T NOTICED A WET T-SHIRT CONTEST IN TOWN YET.
YEAH, WELL, I HAVEN'T EITHER, BUT I'M WAITING.
PATIENTLY.
I TELL YA WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO, MAN.
I'D LIKE TO GLUE A PLAYBOY CENTERFOLD...
INSIDE EVERY ONE OF REVEREND MOORE'S HYMNALS.
YEAH. YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE WE COULD DO.
WE COULD START ONE OF YOUR NIGHTCLUBS, RIGHT THERE IN THE CHURCH, HUH?
HEY, THAT'S IT. [Laughing]
THAT'S IT, MAN. WHAT? WHAT'S IT?
A DANCE. WHAT?
A DANCE! WE COULD HAVE A DANCE!
YOU KNOW, A DANCE? YOU KNOW, A DANCE?
HEY, COME ON, MAN. YOU'RE GONNA GET ME ANGRY, MAN!
I'M GONNA TURN THIS TOWN UPSIDE DOWN! COME ON! STOP IT!
[Children Chattering]
YOU KNOW, I WAS DOWN IN DENVER LAST YEAR...
FOR ABOUT A WEEK AT A BIBLE CONVENTION THERE.
AND THE WHOLE TIME I WAS THERE, PEOPLE WOULD COME UP TO ME...
AND ASK ME, "REVEREND, HOW CAN YOU LIVE IN SUCH A SMALL TOWN,
SO FAR AWAY FROM THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF THE 20th CENTURY?"
I'D SAY TO THEM YOU'D NEVER ASK ME THAT...
IF YOU COULD JUST ONCE-- JUST FOR ONE MINUTE--
EXPERIENCE THE FEELING OF FAMILY...
THAT COMES FROM KNOWING THAT ALL OF OUR LIVES ARE TIED UP WITH EACH OTHER'S.
THAT WE FEEL ALL THE SAME JOYS,
THE SAME SORROWS.
AND THAT WE CARE.
EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US CARES FOR THE OTHER.
I TOLD THEM I JUST FEEL CLOSER TO MY LORD OUT THERE.
AND I FEEL CLOSER...
AND SAFER WITH MY PEOPLE.
AND I THINK THEY FEEL CLOSER TO ME.
THE LORD SMILES ON US OUT THERE.
AND THAT'S WHERE I'M STAYING.
WHY DON'T YOU HAVE SOME CAKE?
[Murmuring]
[Reverend] ROGER, THE TOWN COUNCIL HAS NO INTENTION OF BOWING...
TO THE WISHES OF A SMALL GROUP OF STUDENTS.
[Roger] REVEREND, ELEANOR AND I ARE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN...
THAT WE KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THIS BOY IS ORGANIZING A DANCE.
[Reverend] WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE ANY DANCE. LET SOME YOUNG PUNK...
PUSH US AROUND NOW, IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE EVERY STANDARD IN THE COMMUNITY IS VIOLATED.
[Reverend] EXCUSE ME. COME ON! BOY, ARE THEY IN A TIZZY!
GET IN THE CAR! THEY GOT THE WHOLE COUNCIL GOING.
THERE'S A TOWN MEETIN' I AIN'T GONNA MISS. REN, WHERE YOU TAKIN' US?
WE'RE GOIN' OVER THE STATE LINE. I WANT YOU TO SEE WHAT YOU'VE BEEN MISSING.
REN, I KNOW YOU'RE NOT GONNA LET WILLARD FIGHT, RIGHT?
I DON'T FIGHT. OH, RIGHT. AND I DON'T BREATHE.

[Ren] HOW COME?
YOU'VE HEARD THIS ONE.
THE INFAMOUS CROSBY BRIDGE ACCIDENT, RIGHT?
YOU'VE HEARD IT. NO.
HA, YOU'RE MISSIN' OUT. ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO,
THESE KIDS WERE PLAYING HIGHWAY TAG, AND THEY WERE DRUNK.
SO, ONE CAR HITS THE OTHER ONE, AND THEY BOTH GO OVER THE EDGE OF THE BRIDGE. DEAD.
THAT'S WHEN THEY STARTED PASSING THE LAWS AGAINST BOOZE,
AGAINST DANCING AND DRINKING AND-- AND ALL.
MY FATHER HAD A FIELD DAY.
YOUR FATHER? WHY?
MY OLDER BROTHER WAS THE ONE WHO GOT KILLED.
GOD, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN BOBBY. HE WAS LIKE WARREN BEATTY, ONLY TALLER. WASN'T HE?
[Ariel] MY FATHER WENT OFF THE DEEP END.
HE DECIDED WE ALL NEEDED SAVIN', NO MATTER WHAT.
HE'S GONNA PERSONALLY SAVE THIS LITTLE PISSANT TOWN,
AND HE'S GONNA DELIVER IT UP TO HEAVEN WITH HIS DAUGHTER SITTING LIKE A CHERRY ON TOP.
I CALLED OVER TO RUSTY'S LAST NIGHT.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU FEEL IT NECESSARY TO LIE TO ME.
I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU FIND IT NECESSARY TO CHECK UP ON ME.
I'M CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR WELL BEING, THAT'S ALL.
WELL, HOW COME WHEN I'M HERE AT HOME, YOU'RE NEVER AS INTERESTED...
AS TO WHAT I'M DOING OR SAYING AS YOU ARE WHEN I WALK OUT THAT DOOR?
WHAM! SUDDENLY, YOU WANNA KNOW EVERYTHING.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S PROVOKED THIS OUTBURST, BUT I DON'T LIKE IT,
ANY MORE THAN I LIKE NOT KNOWING WHERE YOU WERE FOR SIX HOURS LAST NIGHT.
SHAW, DON'T YOU THINK WE COULD WAIT ON THIS?
NO, I DON'T THINK THIS CAN WAIT. AND I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOU COMING IN ON HER SIDE.
SHE'S GONNA HAVE TO START ANSWERING FOR HERSELF.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT GOOD THAT WOULD DO.
YOU KNOW DON'T LISTEN TO ME ANY MORE THAN YOU LISTEN TO HER.
[Door Closes]
I'VE NEVER HIT ANYONE IN MY LIFE.
NO.
WE'RE LOSING HER, VI.
DON'T YOU SEE THAT? NO.
I SEE YOU CHASING AFTER HER, AND I SEE HER RUNNING FROM YOU.
SHE'S BECOME SO WILLFUL AND OBSTINATE.
SHE'S LIKE HER FATHER.
THE TWO OF YOU WERE SO WONDERFUL ONCE.
YOU HAD SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT.
I WAS ALMOST JEALOUS.
IT'S NOT AS IF WE DON'T TALK.
IT'S JUST THAT...
SOMETIMES PEOPLE RUN OUT OF THINGS TO SAY.
SHAW.
IT'S 20 YEARS NOW I'VE BEEN A MINISTER'S WIFE.
AND I'VE BEEN QUIET,
SUPPORTIVE, UNOBTRUSIVE AND, UH,
AFTER 20 YEARS, I STILL THINK YOU'RE A WONDERFUL PREACHER.
YOU CAN LIFT A CONGREGATION UP SO HIGH, THEY HAVE TO LOOK DOWN TO SEE HEAVEN.
BUT IT'S THE ONE TO ONE WHERE YOU NEED A LITTLE WORK.
WE COULD REALLY USE YOUR SUPPORT ON THIS THING.
I REALLY DON'T THINK MY MOTHER WOULD APPROVE. OH, YEAH,
BUT WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT A FREE-FOR-ALL.
IT WON'T BE A DRUNKEN BRAWL. IT'S JUST A DANCE.
WELL, JUST GIVE IT SOME THOUGHT, OKAY? SLEEP ON IT, OKAY?
JUST THINK ABOUT IT. OKAY, THANKS. SEE YOU LATER.
SENIOR PROM. SOUNDS GREAT TO ME.
HEY, HOW YOU DOIN', BOY? YOU NEED ANY HELP, YOU JUST LET ME KNOW.
OKAY, YOU GOT IT. DON'T FORGET.
NOW CHUCK HAS HEARD SOMETHING THAT'S UPSET HIM REAL GOOD.
AND I WANT YOU TO TELL ME IT AIN'T SO, MISTER CHICAGO BIG SHOT.
SEE, HE'S BEEN HEARING YOU'RE GONNA TRY TO THROW A DANCE AT SCHOOL.
A SENIOR DANCE. AND HE FIGURED...
ONLY A SON OF A BITCH FAGGOT WOULD TRY THAT.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TRYIN'? HE SURE THE HELL IS.
EXCUSE ME, GIRLS. COME ON OUT, REN. YOU GUY STAY RIGHT THERE. WHOOP!
- IS HE REALLY GONNA GET US A DANCE? - YEP. AIN'T YA?
- [Edna] IT'S ABOUT TIME, MacCORMACK. - I'LL BE THERE.
THANKS.
LOOK. DON'T YOU HAVE ANY BETTER MANNERS THAN THAT? YOUR MAMA TEACH YOU BETTER?
TREAT ANIMALS LIKE THAT, HUH? HOW'S IT FEEL?
DON'T FEEL TOO GOOD NOW, DOES IT, HUH?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO FIGHT CITY HALL.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN I GOTTA FIGHT CITY HALL? 'CAUSE, MR. MacCORMACK,
THERE'S A TOWN COUNCIL.
IT'S MADE UP OF ABOUT SEVEN PEOPLE.
SHAW MOORE'S ONE OF THEM. BURLINGTON CRANSTON IS ANOTHER.
PERSONALLY, I DON'T LIKE THAT LOUSY SON OF A BITCH.
THEY MEET EVERY THIRD THURSDAY OF THE MONTH.
IF THERE'S SOMETHING YOU WANT IN THIS TOWN, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO TALK TO THEM.
YOU'RE GONNA GET REALLY CREAMED.
GEEZ. I'M NOT SO GOOD WITH WORDS.
KEEP THINKING LIKE THAT, REN, AND YOU ARE GONNA GET CREAMED.
SO, WOODY OVER HERE DOESN'T KNOW A DANCE FROM A DIPSTICK.
AND YOU DO? YOU DO, HUH? WHICH WAY IS YOUR LEFT?
HUH? WHICH WAY IS YOUR LEFT?
HE DON'T KNOW HIS LEFT FOOT FROM HIS RIGHT FOOT.
I TELL YOU SOMETHING, MAN. IF I GOTTA GET UP IN FRONT OF THAT COUNCIL,
THEN YOU ARE GONNA LEARN HOW TO DANCE.

WHAT IS THIS, ROGER? I DON'T KNOW THIS BOOK.
I WOULD HOPE YOU WOULDN'T. OH, REVEREND MOORE,
MRS. EVANS IS CALLING ABOUT THAT DANCE OVER AT THE SCHOOL.
I'LL CALL HER BACK RIGHT AFTER JUNIOR BIBLE. NOW WHAT WERE YOU SAYING?
THIS WAS FOUND IN ONE OF THE ATHLETIC LOCKERS OVER AT THE SCHOOL.
A BOOK LIKE THIS SHOULD BE BURNED. WE SHOULD REMOVE THIS CORRUPTION FROM THE SHELVES.
THERE'S NO SENSE BLOWING IT UP INTO SOMETHING THAT IT ISN'T.
HELLO. CAREFUL. HELLO!
COME ON, MAX. [Grunts]
I'LL SET UP, VI. WELL, I THINK IT'S QUITE OBVIOUS WHAT IT IS.
WELL, IT'S NOT QUITE SO OBVIOUS HOW I SHOULD HANDLE IT.
REVEREND, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE MY SAYING SO,
WHEN WE GOT RID OF THAT YOUNG ENGLISH TEACHER AT THE SCHOOL,
WE DIDN'T GET ANY SUPPORT FROM YOU.
THAT'S BECAUSE I DIDN'T THINK WE HAD ANY GROUNDS FOR HIS DISMISSAL.
REVEREND, AROUND HERE, IT CAUSED A LOT OF FOLKS SOME WORRY.
WELL, A LOT OF FOLKS WORRY A LITTLE TOO MUCH.
DOESN'T TAKE MUCH TIME FOR CORRUPTION TO TAKE ROOT, REVEREND.
HOW LONG IS THAT, ROGER? ABOUT AS LONG AS IT TAKES COMPASSION TO DIE?
SAY, DO I GET A COOKIE?
[Children Together] NO!
HOW ABOUT SOME MILK? DID YOU DRINK ALL THE MILK? YEAH!
[Cheerleaders Practicing Cheers]
I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU. YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME NOTHIN'!
I KNOW WHY YOU DON'T CALL ME UP. I WANTED TO TELL YOU MYSELF.
OH, WELL, I KNOW WHY YOU DON'T WANNA SEE ME ANYMORE.
HEY, I'M NOT STUPID!
I'M NOT BLIND.

YOU'RE JUST DYIN' TO SCREW MacCORMACK, AREN'T YOU?

UH, MR. CHAIRMAN, COULD I ADDRESS MYSELF TO THIS?
- YOU BET. - EVEN IF THIS WAS NOT A LAW,
WHICH IT IS,
I'M AFRAID I WOULD HAVE A LOT OF DIFFICULTY...
ENDORSING AN ENTERPRISE...
WHICH IS AS FRAUGHT WITH GENUINE PERIL...
AS I BELIEVE THIS ONE TO BE.
BESIDES THE LIQUOR AND THE DRUGS...
WHICH ALWAYS SEEM TO ACCOMPANY SUCH AN EVENT,
THE THING THAT DISTRESSES ME EVEN MORE, REN,
IS THE SPIRITUAL CORRUPTION...
THAT CAN BE INVOLVED.
THESE DANCES AND THIS KIND OF MUSIC CAN BE DESTRUCTIVE.
AND, UH, REN, I'M AFRAID YOU'RE GONNA FIND...
THAT MOST OF THE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY ARE GONNA AGREE WITH ME ON THIS.
I DO. [Chattering]
THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. I BELIEVE A VOTE IS IN ORDER ON THE MOTION.
- ALL THOSE OPPOSED-- - [Ren] WELL, EXCUSE ME.
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING IF I COULD. [Loud Chattering]
IT IS OUTRAGEOUS! IF YOU THINK THAT YOU-- ELEANOR, SIT DOWN.
I THINK MR. MacCORMACK HAS A RIGHT TO BE HEARD.
[Cheering, Whistling]
WELL, I JUST-- I-I JUST WANTED TO SAY A FEW WORDS ABOUT THIS MOTION...
SO THAT Y-YOU WOULDN'T THINK...
THAT WE WERE ENCOURAGING DESTRUCTION...
WITH THIS IDEA.
"FROM THE OLDEST OF TIMES,
"PEOPLE DANCED FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS.
"THEY DANCED IN PRAYER...
"OR SO THAT THEIR CROPS WOULD BE PLENTIFUL...
"OR SO THEIR HUNT WOULD BE GOOD.
"AND THEY DANCED TO STAY PHYSICALLY FIT...
"AND SHOW THEIR COMMUNITY SPIRIT.
AND THEY DANCED... TO CELEBRATE."
AND THAT-- THAT IS THE DANCING THAT WE'RE TALKIN' ABOUT. [Woman] YEAH.
AREN'T WE TOLD...
IN... PSALM 149:
"PRAISE YE THE LORD.
"SING UNTO THE LORD... A NEW SONG.
LET THEM PRAISE HIS NAME IN THE DANCE."
AMEN. AMEN.
AND IT WAS KING DAVID--
KIND DAVID WHO WE READ ABOUT IN SAMUEL.
AND-- AND WHAT DID DAVID DO? WHAT DID DAVID DO?
[Laughter]
"DAVID DANCED BEFORE THE LORD...
"WITH ALL HIS MIGHT,
LEAPING-- LEAPING AND DANCING BEFORE THE LORD."
LEAPING AND DANCING.
ECCLESIASTES ASSURES US...
THAT THERE IS A TIME FOR EVERY PURPOSE UNDER HEAVEN--
A TIME TO LAUGH...
AND A TIME TO WEEP,
A TIME TO MOURN...
AND THERE IS A TIME TO DANCE.
AND THERE WAS A TIME FOR THIS LAW, BUT NOT ANYMORE.
SEE, THIS IS OUR TIME TO DANCE.
IT IS OUR WAY OF-- OF... CELEBRATING LIFE.
THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING.
IT'S THE WAY IT'S ALWAYS BEEN.
IT'S THE WAY IT SHOULD BE NOW.
[Andy] YOU KNOW YOU WERE RAILROADED, DON'T YA? HUH?
BOY, WHEN ARE YOU GONNA WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE?
SHAW MOORE WALKED INTO THAT MEETIN' WITH THEM VOTES ALREADY IN HIS POCKET.
YOU DIDN'T HAVE A PRAYER. BAD PUN, ANDY.
WELL, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO NOW?
IT'S OVER.
WHAT IF IT AIN'T?
WHAT IF YOU HAD YOUR DANCE IN BAYSON?
NO. UH-UH. THE WHOLE POINT WAS TO DO SOMETHIN' HERE IN BOMONT.
BAYSON'S, WHAT, 30 MILES AWAY?
NOT WHERE IT RUNS UP TO THESE TRACKS, IT AIN'T.
HUH?
WELL, I FIGURE IF THE BOMONT FIRE TRUCKS CAN'T CROSS THESE TRACKS,
NEITHER CAN THE LONG ARM OF THE LAW.
YEAH, WHAT ABOUT THE LONG ARM OF REVEREND MOORE?
REMEMBER HE SAID IF YOU COULD FIND A WAY TO CONVINCE HIM,
IT WOULDN'T BE A SPIRITUAL CORRUPTION, HE'D THINK ABOUT IT.
SO? MAKE HIM THINK ABOUT IT.
[Reverend] "AND I BEHELD AND HEARD AN ANGEL...
"FLYING THROUGH THE MIDST OF HEAVEN, SAYING...
"WITH A LOUD VOICE, 'WOE, WOE,
"WOE TO THE INHABITERS OF THE EARTH.'
"AND I SAW A STAR FALL FROM HEAVEN UNTO THE EARTH...
"AND THE ANGEL WAS GIVEN THE KEY...
"TO THE BOTTOMLESS PIT.
"AND HE... OPENED THE BOTTOMLESS PIT,
"AND THERE AROSE A SMOKE OUT OF THE PIT,
"AS THE SMOKE OF A GREAT FURNACE.
"AND THE SUN AND THE AIR WERE DARKENED...
BY REASON OF THE SMOKE OF THE PIT."
- YES? - I USED TO GET SUCH A KICK...
OUT OF WATCHING YOU WORK UP YOUR SERMONS.
- AND NOW? - IT'S DIFFERENT.
I SEE THE STAGE. I SEE COSTUMES.
IT'S SHOW BUSINESS, ISN'T IT?
WELL,
IT'S THE ONLY WAY I KNOW TO... REACH PEOPLE'S EMOTIONS.
I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM YOU FOR A WHILE.
WHEN WAS IT, THURSDAY?
I WAS ANGRY AND YOU WERE ANGRY.
I WAS NOT. YES, YOU WERE.
IF YOU WEREN'T, YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME WHAT WAS WRONG. YOU KNEW.
ARIEL, I CANNOT LET THIS DANCE HAPPEN.
REN MacCORMACK MADE A LOT OF PEOPLE STOP AND THINK.
I OBJECT TO THAT KIND OF MUSIC, AND I THINK YOU KNOW WHY.
-BECAUSE PEOPLE FORNICATE TO IT. -I NEVER SAID THAT.
-THAT'S WHAT YOU TOLD THE BOARD. -THAT WAS NOT MEANT FOR YOUR EARS!
WHEN DO MY EARS GET OLD ENOUGH? WHEN YOU STOP PROTECTIN' ME!
- I'M NO SAINT, YOU KNOW. - IT IS MY DUTY TO LOOK AFTER THE SPIRITUAL GROWTH OF THIS--
I'M NOT EVEN A VIRGIN.
DON'T YOU TALK LIKE THAT IN HERE! WHY NOT?
ISN'T THIS WHERE I'M SUPPOSED TO CONFESS MY SINS TO MY PREACHER?
IN CHURCH! I ASK TO BE FORGIVEN!
- AM I? OH, FORGIVE ME AND DELIVER ME! - YOU GET OUT OF HERE!
- [Indistinct] - THANK HEAVENS YOU'RE HERE. PEOPLE ARE CALLING.
THEY'RE THERE OVER AT THE LIBRARY.
[Clapping, Chattering]
ROGER, ELEANOR, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WE DECIDED THESE BOOKS ARE INFLUENCES ON OUR CHILDREN WE JUST DON'T NEED.
WHOSE AUTHORITY DO YOU HAVE? YOU AGREED THIS WAS GARBAGE.
WAIT. EVERYBODY, LISTEN TO ME!
[Panting]
WHEN DID YOU ALL DECIDE TO SIT IN JUDGEMENT?
WHO ELECTED ALL OF YOU...
TO BE THE SAVIORS OF EVERYBODY'S SOULS IN BOMONT?
WE HAVE A PERFECT RIGHT TO DETERMINE WHAT OUR CHILDREN-- ROGER!
WHEN YOU'VE BURNED ALL OF THESE, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO THEN?
CHRIS, TAKE THESE OUT OF HERE.
SATAN IS NOT IN THESE BOOKS.
HE'S IN HERE!
HE'S IN YOUR HEARTS.
GO ON HOME, ALL OF YOU.
GO AND SIT IN JUDGEMENT ON YOURSELVES.
ROGER... GO HOME.
ELEANOR, COME ON.
GO HOME NOW. COME ON. BOTH OF YOU.
SOMETIMES THINGS DON'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
IF YOU COULD EXPLAIN TO ME ABOUT MY FATHER, MAYBE I COULD EXPLAIN TO YOU ABOUT YOUR SON.
BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
LOOK. UH, I GOTTA GO.
LISTEN. I KNOW YOU'RE GONNA DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO, BUT...
THANKS FOR LISTENIN'.
REN,
THANK YOU FOR, UH--
WELL... THANK YOU.
THAT WAS YOUR FRIEND REN.
HE CAME HERE TO ASK ME IF HE COULD TAKE YOU TO A SENIOR PROM.
[Sighs] WELL, I'M RUNNING OUT OF ANSWERS, ARIEL.
I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS FOR YOU.
I KNOW I'M NOT MAKING IT EASIER.
I JUST DON'T KNOW THAT I BELIEVE IN EVERYTHING YOU BELIEVE IN.
BUT I BELIEVE IN YOU.
I'M... STANDING UP HERE...
BEFORE YOU TODAY...
WITH A VERY TROUBLED HEART.
YOU SEE, MY FRIENDS,
I'VE ALWAYS INSISTED ON...
TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR LIVES.
BUT... I'M REALLY...
UH, LIKE A FIRST-TIME PARENT...
WHO MAKES MISTAKES...
AND... TRIES TO LEARN FROM THEM.
AND, LIKE THAT PARENT,
I FIND MYSELF AT THAT MOMENT...
WHEN I HAVE TO DECIDE,
DO I HOLD ON...
OR DO I TRUST YOU TO YOURSELVES,
TO LET GO...
AND HOPE THAT YOU UNDERSTOOD...
AT LEAST SOME OF MY LESSONS?
IF WE DON'T START TRUSTING OUR CHILDREN,
HOW WILL THEY EVER BECOME... TRUSTWORTHY?
I'M TOLD THAT THE SENIOR CLASS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL HAS GOT USE...
OF A WAREHOUSE IN BAYSON...
FOR THE PURPOSE OF PUTTING ON A SENIOR DANCE.
PLEASE...
JOIN ME TO PRAY...
TO THE LORD...
TO GUIDE THEM IN THEIR ENDEAVORS.
