My ball.! [Girl's Voice] Thy Will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses... as We forgive those Who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory. Forever and ever, Amen. [All] Amen. Steven, how'd you end up working as a doorman? It is our immigration agreement. We must work. The building supervisor hired Steven as a member of our congregation. - He was so skinny. - Skeleton man from Africa. Skeleton man... - What did We say about that? - I don't Want to hear it again. It'll be no Internet tonight. Didn't know what a can opener was. He opened cans with a big knife like at the camp. There aren't lions roaming here but there were in Sudan, and the orphan boys got chased. - And one time, a big alligator bit his friend's head off. - [Boy ] It Was a crocodile. He wanted to know where all the meat comes from since he didn't see any cows. [Man] Guys, that's enough.! Albert, what brought you to the philosophical club? [Albert] You mean the existential detectives? - Sounds like a support group. - Why can't he use a church? Sometimes people have additional questions to be ansWered. - Like what? - Well, um, for instance... If the forms of this world die, which is more real... the me that dies or the me that's infinite? Can I trust my habitual mind or do I need to learn to look beneath those things? Sounds like We got a philosopher. We don't have to ask those kinds of questions, do We, Mom? - O, honey. - What happened to the cat, Albert? H-How'd you know about my cat? - The cat was killed by curiosity. - Right. That cat. - What do you do? - I'm the director of the Open Spaces Coalition. - We fight suburban sprawl. - What's suburban sprawl? Ask Steven. He could have used a little suburban sprawl in Sudan. Excuse me, dad? Industry, houses, jobs, restaurants, medicine... You can preserve a lot of open spaces and have jobs for people with... - I beg your pardon, Albert. I wasn't finished. - Sorry, sir. Clothes, videos, toys, cheeseburgers, cars, a functioning economy. You can still have a functioning economy and preserve open spaces With a little planning. - Yeah. - Socialism. Complete disaster. - Theodore Roosevelt was a socialist? And Yeats? - Theodore Roosevelt... Henry david Thoreau, Robinson Jeffers, the ational Geographic Society, all socialists? - You're talking about socialism. - O, I'm not. I'm talking about... not covering every square inch with houses and strip malls... until you can't remember what happens when you stand in a meadow at dusk. - What happens in the meadow at dusk? - Everything. - Othing! - Everything! - It's beautiful. - It's beautiful. I Work for an electrical engineering firm, son. We do a lot of commercial and residential contracts. If development stops, so does my paycheck. Then Steven couldn't be here as our guest, could he? So your ideas hurt Steven. I'm not hurting Steven. That's an outrageous accusation. - Don't use that tone of voice in my house. - I think you started that tone. And I think it's entirely possible for your engineering firm to have jobs for people... preserve open spaces, have contracts, do the... [Boy Laughs] Whoa. [Boy Laughs] Whoa. - What's he doing? - Why's he closing his eyes? [Whispering] Cricket, I don't know. - Do you have a job, Tom? - I'm a firefighter. Oh, God bless you. A hero. I'm not a hero. We'd all be heroes if we quit using petroleum though. - Excuse me? - Say you're Christians living byJesus' principles. Are you? Jesus is never mad at us if We live With him in our hearts. I hate to break it to you, but he is. He most definitely is. All right. That's enough. Steven, I don't know what this is about. Why they're here... - Sorry, Mom. Sorry, dad. I did not know. - Stevo, I'm so disappointed. It's all right. Look, he's sad. He's sad. I'm sorry, Stevo. My bad. You didn't knoW. - You should be ashamed of yourself. - I should be What? - You should be ashamed of yourself. - Why should I be ashamed? - You're a hypocrite. - I'm a What? You're misleading these children. 'Cause you're the destroyer, man. - How am I the destroyer? - I saWthat S.U. V. Out there. My car's the destroyer? You wanna know how many miles per gallon I get? Steven, I need to ask a question. It's why I came here. Why are autographs so important to you? It is a pastime with this family which they have taught me. - Which I can now carry on. - [Woman] It's just for fun. - [Game Beeping] - For entertainment. No games at the table, please. Yes. 260. And I've reached the omega level. [Tommy ] Destroyer. Destroyer. Destroyer. God gave us oil.! He gave it to us.! HoWcan God's gift be bad? He gave you a brain too and you messed that up pretty good... I want you sons of bitches out of my house now. If Hitler were alive, he'd tell you not to think about oil. You're the Hitler! We took a Sudanese refugee into our home! You did. But hoWdid Sudan happen, ma'am? Could it possibly be related to dictatorships... that we support for some stupid reason? - You shut up! You get out. - You shut up. Come on. Let's get out of here. - Later, Steve. - God bless you. - Wow. - What's going on in there? - Crazy. - I can't believe them. - Hi, guys. - Oh, Christ.
