Freddie, what are you doing?

I'm trying to pump the blood to my brain.

I got a midterm in 15 minutes.

It'd be easier to stand on your head.

It'd definitely be less funky.

�The interest rate would be�

it would be�

93% per annum.

Not even close.

Whitley, this is going to be on your math midterm tomorrow.

Do I sound like I'm getting a cold?

Sounds like you're getting "F."

No, listen.

I'm definitely nasal.

I suggest you work more on this math and less on that cold.

Because Colonel Taylor won't buy any excuses for an extension.

I will never get this.

Yes, you will.

Think positive.

Now, earned interest

is current value plus interest rate times�

Principle over value.

You don't look good at all, Whitley.

- I'm going to take to my bed. - Yeah.

Excuse me, Miss Gilbert, may I speak to you?

Of course, Molefe.

I know that in this country,

formal introductions between men and women are not necessary.

You take class together, talk in the hall, and before long�

Molefe, you little international lover, you.

I'm flattered.

So you will introduce me to Miss Jaleesa Vinson?

When they snap the lid on my coffin.

By tomorrow,

this cold will have moved down to my chest.

Right now, it's all in my head.

I'll say.

I'll just keep drinking honey-lemon tea

and I don't care if I get bronchial pneumonia tomorrow,

I will drag myself down to that midterm�

if I can.

Whitley, I have a Spanish midterm in two hours.

Put the thermometer in your mouth.

Fine, I'll suffer in silence.

Kim, please call Colonel Taylor

and tell him of my suffering.

Why would he believe me?

Because you're a policeman's daughter.

He don't know you lie like a rug.

Okay. I'll call him if you have a temperature.

Stick this under your tongue.

Okay. Habla, hablamos

hablamas�

hablamoo

hablamee.

Why is it pre-med needs Spanish, anyway?

I don't know.

A hundred and six.

- Told you I was sick. - You're not sick, you're dead.

Hello.

Mom, hi.

How come you're calling on Whitley's phone?

What kind of emergency?

What happened?

He was shot?

Your daddy?

Okay, I'm on my way.

Mom, I don't care about midterms!

So when will he be out of surgery?

All right. Promise me you'll call as soon as you hear.

Mom, I really think I should�

Okay. Love you, too.

I'm so sorry. If there's anything I can do�

I got to go home.

Right. On your little scooter?

A truck will suck you right off the road.

Whitley, I can't stay here.

Okay, fine.

Take my car.

Thanks a lot.

My bag.

God, where's my bag?

You're holding it.

Okay, let me� I'll drive.

Okay, I'll go down, tell Walter we're going.

You keep packing.

Tell him I'll call once I get to the hospital.

Hospital?

Right.

Catch Whitley.

Even in sweats, she gets me hot.

I know why she's here. She's here to get me

to put on a Southern accent and dress and take her midterm.

You do have the legs for it.

Shut up.

- She's headed this way. - Yeah?

Dwayne?

I'm not getting you out of your math midterm.

This is personal. I need you.

She's just using him to get to me.

Kim has to go to Ohio and I've promised-

I get it.

"Colonel Taylor, I couldn't possibly take my math midterm

"because I'll be 500 miles away."

Dwayne�

Whitley�

Kim's daddy's been shot.

What?

She's being brave right now

but she's in no condition to read a map.

I'm afraid if we go alone,

we'll end up in Saskatchewan.

I'm with you. Yeah.

Thank you.

I get a little phobic when it comes to these things.

You're afraid of the Interstate?

No, hospitals.

Those long, dark, hollow hallways,

slime-green walls,

all those sick people with diseases and viruses-

Okay, okay.

Whitley, Whitley, you can stay in the car.

- Thank you. - Okay.

Ronald, we'll be back in a couple of days.

Maybe longer.

Maybe I'm playing too hard to get.

Opa, roll out the moussaka.

Break some plates!

My Greek mythology midterm is history!

Freddie, we have to go.

- Where you guys going? - Ohio.

Ohio? I'm in. Two minutes to pack.

Freddie�

This'll give me another chance with your dad.

When he busted us for going to Washington,

if looks could kill�

Freddie�

it is amazing to me

how you can still walk with one foot in your mouth.

What did I say?

We're going to Ohio because Kim's daddy has been shot.

I'm going with you.

No, you're not.

We need someone there who is sensible, calm

and most of all, silent.

I'm going with you anyway.

Fine, as long as you run behind the car.

This waiting is so debilitating.

Growing old as the hands of the clock

drag across the face of time.

Each moment becomes a lifetime.

Each lifetime becomes an eternity.

Whitley, we've been here five minutes.

I can't stand this stench.

Whitley, it's just disinfectant.

It's the smell of germs dying.

It's the hot air from your mouth killing them.

Everything all right?

He's out of surgery.

The bullet pierced the abdomen and he lost a lot of blood.

There's danger of infection.

How's your mom holding up?

Not too good, they won't let her see him.

I'm sure that your dad is in good hands.

You said yourself this is a good hospital.

Certainly don't skimp on the disinfectant.

I haven't called home once

since arguing about that trip to Washington.

When he did, I've been too busy for anything but a quick "hello."

Kim, I never call home.

My mom calls to nag me for never calling home.

It's different when your dad's a cop,

knowing you may never see him again.

Kim, your dad's going to be all right.

I want him to know that I love him.

He knows you love him.

I just wish I could do something.

Pray for him.

Pray?

I can do that.

- You can only stay for a few minutes. - Okay.

Daddy?

Hi.

I came as soon as I could.

How am I doing, doc?

I know you wanted me to stay at school

but I had to come.

There's so many things I want to say.

You've always been there for me.

I've been kind of rough on you, haven't I?

Because you care about me.

I can do better.

You're doing just fine.

You're just like me.

You're smart�

and you're strong.

And stubborn as a mule.

Daddy�

I love you so much.

I love you, too, baby.

I can still call you baby, can't I?

Hi.

God?

I sure hope you're out there.

It's not that I don't think you're out there.

I don't really know what I think.

See, my family's not real religious.

My mom believes in you. She says that� you're everywhere.

You're in rocks and snowflakes and grasshoppers�

especially grasshoppers, don't ask me why.

My dad doesn't believe you're anywhere at all�

but he's a very nice man.

I'm not here about my family.

I'm here for my friend, Kim.

Her dad's in pretty bad shape and Kim asked me

to pray for him.

Problem is, I only know one prayer.

Rub-a-dub-dub, thanks for the grub.

Yay, God!

I'm blowing this.

I can't do anything right.

Please take care of Kim's dad and please don't let him die.

Please.

Life doesn't make sense.

Mr. Reese is lying in a hospital bed,

and the dude who shot him

slips on his $500 shades and rides off in his sports car?

You have got to stop watching Miami Vice.

I wish I were a Hindu.

Then I'd know if he got away with it this life,

he'd get nailed in the next one.

What brand of nonsense are you selling now?

It's not nonsense.

Over 600 million Hindus believe in reincarnation.

You create your own karma,

so the evil you do in this life follows you to the next.

Please.

And the next and the next,

and you keep coming back till your lower than a nickel looking for change.

Jim Bakker could come back as one of Tammy Faye's eyelashes.

Leona Helmsley could come back as a bedbug in her own hotel.

Good news?

Is your dad okay?

They let me see him, we talked.

I'm so glad.

I'm going to call Jaleesa and let her know.

Hello?

Kim! How's your dad?

Thank God. He's all right, Walter.

Tell her we were all pulling for him.

Kim, everybody here was pulling-

We went to the chapel.

Walter and I went to-

She can take midterms when back.

Do you want to speak?

No, I have nothing to say.

Kim, everyone here is going to be really pleased

that your dad is doing so well.

I'm sorry�

who is this?

Jaleesa, dear�

when did Colonel Taylor reschedule my exam?

3:00 tomorrow is when everybody else is taking it.

Well, excuse me� hello?

I bet you didn't even try to explain to the man that�

I hope she comes back as a tick on Spuds MacKenzie.

Kim, dear, I'm very happy

that your father has recovered at such a rapid rate.

Is there anything else we can do?

No, you've been great, thank you.

Least we can do. We're out of here.

Now?

Before we see Mr. Reese?

Look, if we don't leave now,

next thing you're going to see are my taillights.

- See you guys in a couple of days. - All right.

- Thank you. - Okay now, come on.

I'll be right back. I got to go.

That girl's got to go every 15 minutes.

We had to stop.

We haven't eaten in three states.

Don't blame me for Tennessee, you can't read a map.

Well, in the dark, that staple looked like an exit ramp.

Besides, no life is complete

until you've had your midnight tour of Dollywood.

Excuse me.

Yeah?

Coffee, black, to go.

I'll have the Belly Buster special. Two eggs over easy.

Potatoes or grits?

Grits.

Sir, how long will all this take, please?

Not too long.

The cook will be here in two hours.

Sir, your sign outside says "Open 24 hours."

You got in, didn't you?

Don't you have any hot food?

I sure do.

Coffee and soda.

Great, we'll have three black coffees to go.

I'll have a tuna sandwich on toast.

Toast?

I just said I don't cook.

Hi, bacon double cheeseburger, please.

Make that two tunas on white.

Okay, make that three.

Could you hurry, please?

I have to go to school.

You want that in a lunch box?

No, we'll eat here.

And could you please trim the crusts off my bread?

I hate the night shift.

You guys� I think I found God.

In the ladies room?

Now we have proof, God is a woman.

Come on. When I was at the hospital and Kim asked me to pray,

I didn't really know what to do so I spoke from my heart.

I can't explain it, but it felt like somebody was listening.

If you start singing "You'll Never Walk Alone,"

you will walk alone.

I never felt so full and so warm.

And when Kim's father did get better�

Dwayne, you know what I'm saying?

I don't go to church much

except for when I'm back home and mom makes me.

It's a good thing to do on Sunday before the game.

I sit there and pray for the Giants to win.

Does it work for you?

Two years ago, they won the Super Bowl.

Eternal life will come before these sandwiches.

It's a miracle.

Excuse me, sir.

You forgot to trim the crust off my bread.

You know, you're right.

Hey, guys.

- Hey! - Hey!

My mom appreciated everything you did,

so she made you cookies.

Way to go, Mom.

I'm glad your dad's doing better.

He's coming along.

I've got it on good authority

that he'll be walking outta that hospital in no time.

I got to go unpack.

Congratulations, Big Foot. You did it again.

What did I say now?

Kim's daddy won't be walking anywhere for a while.

There was some sort of trauma to his spine.

And it doesn't look good.

I don't believe this.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm just not going to believe in a God you can't pray to

without reading the fine print.

What do you mean?

I asked God to let Kim's father live�

and He did.

But God tricked me.

The man's alive, but he can't walk.

What kind of a God would do that?

Freddie, God didn't do that. A bullet did.

What's the point of praying if you don't get what you pray for?

I hear you.

When I was ten years old

I knew exactly what I wanted for Christmas.

I wanted this autographed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar basketball.

I prayed for this ball.

I took pictures of this ball to church,

so God wouldn't mess up and get the wrong one.

You know what was under the tree come Christmas Day?

A new winter jacket�

and a red hat with a goofy little pompon.

See?

I was mad at God that day.

I went to church but I refused to sing.

You know something?

That winter, basketball courts were under two feet of snow.

Everyone either had the flu or frostbite.

Everybody but me

because I had my new winter jacket

and my knit hat with the goofy red pompon.

That's a lovely story.

What's the point?

What's the point?

I tell you about my lucky knit hat

and you ask, "What's the point"?

- Yes. - What is my point?

I guess it's that when you pray,

you can ask for things, you can yell, you can try to cut a deal.

Sometimes, you get what you want.

Sometimes you get what you need.

Sometimes, you just get what you get.

Know what God does?

I think God helps you hang in with what you get.

I thought you weren't religious.

Yeah, so did I.

My mom's going to be happy.

All those� all those Sundays, I was listening.

Hope you're listening.

This Sunday, the Giants have a big one.
