Sister Karina once told me that God
leaves a mark on everyone.

The small dent above your lip is made by
God's finger, gently pushing you into

the world.

God touches everyone in different ways.

God gave my father crooked fingers, so
he has no luck.

If he holds his hand up to the sun,
beams of light shoot through the gaps

between his fingers.

He can't hold on to his money.

But my uncle Ace was born with plump
sausage fingers, and he has a good luck

money face.

Luck is very important for my grandma.

Every morning, she pours three cups of
tea.

for a God who never seems to be thirsty.

I was born in 1966 in the year of the
fire horse, which occurs once every 60

years. I was lucky to be born at all.

A long time ago in China, nobody wanted
a child who was a fire horse because of

their strong will.

So terrified were the parents that when
the fire horses were born, they would

drown the baby in the river.

The river swelled with the spirits of
unwanted horses.

As for my mother, she doesn't believe in
spirits or superstitions. But to this

day, she can't explain the dark spirit
that possessed her to pick up the axe.

Don't worry, Mama.

When the news of my mother's pregnancy
spread in the community, nobody could

stop the old ladies who were whispering
about the tree chopping.

When you sever the tree, you sever the
poor, they said.

Which one means it's a girl again?

It's a

boy.

My mother was four months

pregnant. when my grandma's 70th
birthday came.

My Auntie Eight always makes shrimp for
happiness, dumplings for luck, and

noodles for long life on special
celebrations.

We're not allowed to say anything bad on
these days, or else we'll bring on bad

luck.

There are actual people in this world
who need more

food than the gods.

Like homeless people. Paulina.

Patty Hearst. Kidnappers are demanding
that her father give $40 to every

homeless person in the city. So
bourgeois.

Of course he won't do it. Who cares
about Patty Hearst?

I want to buy the most beautiful
longevity noodles for my mom to

Long longevity is good for your head.

Thank you.

How is my brother?

He's fine.

But he has a high blood pressure.

When did he get a blood test?

I don't think so.

I'll do a blood test with him to see how
he's doing.

Don't worry.

Thank you.

I knew he'd be fine.

I knew he'd be fine. I knew he'd be
fine.

I knew he'd be fine.

After my auntie ate cursed our family,
my sister and I were waiting for

something bad to happen.

Look, it's PWT.

At least my dad has a job.

Gotta pay for all the food.

Hey, where you going?

Knock the turbine off,

man. Knock it off. Not even a real
turbine. It's a trainer turbine.

Turbine with training wheels.

I don't understand why Sally doesn't
have any friends.

She's got long blonde hair.

It's because she's PWT.

What's a PWT?

Poor White Trash.

Are we poor white trash?

Don't be stupid. We're not white.

If you break a tree, you can break a
baby.

But if you plant the seed...

What are you doing?

I'm helping my mom.

Is it true your mom chopped down the
apple tree?

She did.

Why?

Ancient Chinese secret.

I'm serious.

Why can't she hire a lumberjack or
something?

Everybody in China chops down their own
tree.

That's just the way they do it.

We're not in China.

My brother was all liquid when he showed
up in this world.

Over the summer, my mother could barely
get out of bed.

Sometimes she would stare out the window
at the stump.

It looked like a fist.

Where is Mommy?

But she said she'll braid my hair for
picture day.

But she promised.

She said she'll braid my hair.

I don't want you to do it. I want Mommy
to do it.

I don't want Mama.

No!

Mom knows you're not happy today.

But don't scold me.

Be good.

Listen to me.

Today is your birthday, right?

That's it.

I'll help you, okay?

Don't tell anyone.

This is a secret between the two of us.

Okay?

Take a look.

How long now?

Is it Mommy?

We forgot

Mama's sweater.

Why can't we go inside?

But I want to talk to her.

Okay.

I forgot to give Mama the lucky candy.

It's stupid to give her candy anyway.
She can't even eat it.

Why not?

Why can't we go inside?

Superstition.

Hello.

Underneath the stars I'll meet you
Underneath

the stars I'll greet you

She's going to smell.

All corpses smell.

No matter how clean you are when you are
alive.

All corpses rot and smell.

And worms crawl out of their eyes.

Shut up.

You shut up.

Mama, I cleaned your room for you.

My family burned paper money for my mama
to spend in the afterworld.

I wanted to burn my birthday money, but
my father wouldn't let me.

You can't burn real money.

Baba,

can you tell me about the goldfish?

Is it true that people get reincarnated
into goldfish?

Baba,

can I have a goldfish?

You're so

selfish. Don't you even

care about Mama?

I care.

Then why don't you cry?

You don't love Mama.

Mama?

Mommy?

I saw Mama.

But I saw her. She was downstairs.

No,

it was for real.

She was washing Baba's shirt.

Does Mama hate me?

But

it's

been seven days today.

Does Mama hate me?

Here. Husband, you have to cover your
back.

Kid, I really want to go with you.

I think Mom wants to have more children.

Are you stupid?

How can you go?

You heard what the doctor said.

Besides, if you go, what about the rent?

Who will take care of it?

That's enough, Uncle.

It's okay.

I can handle it on my own.

Tell Daddy bye -bye.

Bye -bye.

Be good.

Listen to Mom.

Be careful.

Be careful.

A -Ling, brother, go.

You can do it.

Actually, you guys are really lucky.

It's really fun to have a rental
apartment.

Thank you, Mom.

I promise.

You dropped it a while back.

That's not mine.

This is the Tibetan Book of the Dead.

It tells you what happens after you die.

You could be reborn as anything.

So you should always be nice to your
goldfish, because you never know if it

somebody's grandma once.

These are the goddesses. When everyone's
asleep, they come alive and they dance

with wild abandon all through the night.

At the first sight of daylight, They
freeze in mid -motion, and they stay

until the following night.

Yes, very good, Eve.

Very exotic.

Eve has generously shared with us
something about her country.

Thank you, Eve.

Okay, we're going to start the lesson
for today.

Hello, ma 'am. How are you today?

Wait a minute.

Yes?

Oh, well, my name is Fred. This is Jeff.

We're God's Witnesses.

Have you ever opened your heart to the
Lord?

No. Would you like to open your heart to
our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ?

What am I?

We're not buying, sorry.

Oh, well, we don't want to sell you
anything. In fact, we have a free gift

you.

What?

Um, no, I have to go.

We want to give you a book.

A book?

It's yours to keep.

Thank you.

Thank you, thank you. Bye -bye.

Bye -bye.

Is this what heaven looks like?

Exactly.

My

book

is called Living Together in Heaven on
Earth.

Author, Gideon Publishing.

Report by Karina Ng.

I like this book very much because it
tells you that there can be peace on

if we all believed in Jesus Christ.

If we all believed in him, then there
would be no more wars, no more disease,

more mean or prejudiced people in the
world.

All the bad people will be cast off the
face of the earth, and all that's left

will be the good people to inherit the
kingdom of God.

Karina, can you come over, please?

That's a very interesting book report.

Do you have the book with you?

Have you been carrying this book around
with you?

Where did you get it?

It was a gift.

Have you read the entire book?

Yes.

Religion is a very complex thing.

It's not about carrying a book with you.

It's about faith.

Do you understand what faith is?

Have you ever been to church?

No.

I shouldn't really do this, but my
daughter goes to the Sunday school.

Maybe you should ask your parents about
it.

Usually they show the movie around
Easter time.

It's when Christ was resurrected after
he was crucified.

And then people start to believe in God
because he rose from the dead.

It's the holiday with the chocolate
rabbit.

That was amazing!

How did they divide the sea into two
parts?

It's just a special machine.

I like the mosaic very much.

It looks very nice.

I think Jesus is also teaching how to be
a good person.

Some people say it's better to believe
in Christ than to be a beggar.

Because they are more vulnerable.

In the world, there is a law that says
how to respect one's family.

It's the same as what the Bible says.

You know

when

Moses joined the Red Sea and drowned all
those soldiers?

I don't understand why God drowned all
those horses too.

The Lord works in mysterious ways.

Girls, I'd like you all to welcome
Karina and Eve.

Is this your first time at Sunday
school?

Yes. Well, welcome.

Have you girls been baptized?

No. Well, we'll have to arrange for
those at some point.

I can't swim.

You don't have to know how to swim,
dear.

Now, what would you girls like to learn
at Sunday school?

To be a good person.

I want to learn more about heaven.

Well, heaven is paradise, Eve. And if
you're a good Catholic, you'll get to go

there one day.

Or else I could get reincarnated into a
goldfish.

No, no. Catholics don't believe in
reincarnation, dear.

Is Buddha a god as well?

Buddha is not a god. Catholics only
worship our savior, Lord Jesus.

It's a sin to worship any other god. Do
you understand?

Okay, today I'm reading from the book of
Psalms, Psalm 1.

Blessed is the man that walketh not in
the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth

in the way of the sinners.

Are the Buddha and Jesus friends, Mommy?

Kyla?

But in the Bible, it says all Buddhists
are going to hell.

Sold it.

You're not going to hell?

It's like this. You have to be on your
knees.

You have to go like this.

Your fingers have to be straight, and
they have to be pointing to heaven, like

this.

You have to bow your head.

Look down past your hands onto the
floor.

No, you can't touch your head on the
floor like a Buddhist.

Your head has to be up, and you can't
move your lips when you pray.

Oh, bless the Lord, my soul.

His praise to thee proclaim.

And all that is within me join to bless
his holy name.

Oh, yeah.

I'm shot. I'm shot.

Then I fall to the ground, and I think
I'm going to die.

But then I feel the Bible in my front
pocket.

The Bible saved my life. The bullet
makes it all the way into the New

Right into the book of Psalms.

And then the Bible grows wings.

And it flies you to Mars.

Don't be dumb.

This is a true story.

God saved the soldiers.

Stupid chink. Get out of here, chink.

That is too cold.

You're too skinny.

Something happened today.

What happened?

I saw a vision.

I saw Mother Mary.

This is the first meeting of our new
club.

The mission of this club is to do good
in this world.

Hail Mary, full of grace.

And so it came to pass that my sister
and I became the Girls of Perpetual

Sorrow.

The Girls of Perpetual Sorrow will do
her best to be sorrowful enough to be

worthy of this title.

When a girl perpetual sorrel rides the
number 14 button, she will give up her

seat to an elderly person.

A girl perpetual sorrel will wash all 14
hours of the Jerry Lewis telephone, and

she will donate all her birthday money.

She will wash the dishes with hot water.

The hotter the better, and she must
never complain.

She will pray for all the people in the
world.

She will spend her whole life doing good
for others.

She will become a saint.

We have to say grace.

Bless us, O Lord, and these thy gifts,
which we are about to receive from thy

bounty, for Christ our Lord, amen.

Dad,

have you heard the news of the Lord?

Jesus is good.

Stop,

stop, stop, stop. Eve, you're moving
around too much.

But I feel like it.

Well, this is a choir, and you're here
to sing.

You need to keep your body still.

It helps your breathing.

Okay. And again.

on to my first day, too.

It doesn't matter.

I'm going to be a famous opera singer
one day, and I can move all I want.

In fact, my grandmother once sang for
the emperor of China, and he fainted

because her voice was so powerful.

It's a sin to lie, you know.

It's one of the Ten Commandments.

I'm not a sinner.

Of course you are. We're all sinners.

Especially you, because your name's Eve.

The Bible is sacred.

See, Jesus' words aren't all red.

If you touch the Bible, it can read all
of your thoughts, good and bad.

Just thinking about doing something bad
is a sin.

What's hell like?

People get boiled alive in a giant wok.

Is Mama in hell?

No, she's in limbo.

We have to introduce her to the Lord. We
have to do this by doing good deeds.

That's going to be our first mission.

Jesus, meet Mama.

Mama, meet Jesus.

Mama is a very nice woman and she
deserves to be in heaven.

She's floating in some limbo fishbowl
right now.

I hope we can meet her one day.

As part of the mission of the Girls of
Perpetual Sorrow, your second good deed

is to love thy neighbor.

That's why you have to love Mr. Wicker.

Why Mr.

Wicker?

Because he's our closest neighbor, he
lives right next door.

Every night you have to pray for him,
and you have to give him a look that's

opposite of the evil eye.

How do I do that?

Shoot goodness at him, through your
eyes, like this.

I can't.

I'm not supposed to do it. It's against
the Bible.

No, it's wrong.

It's a mortal sin.

I only pray to one God, and that's
Christ the God Almighty.

Kim's mother doesn't make her better,
her stupid gods.

What's he going to say?

You. Help me go out and listen to it
until it's expensive. Expensive to the

point you can't even talk to your
mother.

You're out of your mind.

I'm a terrible, terrible person.

I deserve to be punished.

Why can't I be perfect like you?

Jason, can I move in color?

I want to sleep here too.

If I told you a story, will you go back
to bed?

Okay.

Tell me the story of Adam and Eve.

Adam and Eve used to walk around naked
in the Garden of Eden.

Then, one day...

The serpent tricks Eve into eating an
apple from a tree of knowledge, even

though she knows she's not supposed to.

So now everybody has to wear clothes
because of her.

Is Eve a bad person?

Yes, Eve is a bad person.

Can anybody else?

Think of a miracle that Jesus performed.

Yes, Becky.

He took two fishes and a loaf of bread.
He turned it into enough food to feed

thousands of people.

That's right.

What other miracles did he perform?

A miracle happened to my dad.

Well, Eve, we're talking about miracles
by Jesus, okay? It happened in

California, and that's why we're never
going to go back there ever again.

Why not?

I'm not supposed to talk about it.

Why? What happened?

It happened not so long ago that my
father worked as a chef in

a world -famous restaurant in Santa
Cruz.

One stormy night when he was driving
home from work, a tree fell on his car.

People were helpless to get him out.

But suddenly the door fell open and my
father emerged with barely a scratch on

his body.

The people thought they witnessed a
miracle.

Not long after the accident, my father
left California because he knew there

no more luck for him there anymore.

He had used it all up.

Since then, my father has traveled to a
great many places, but he will never set

foot in California ever again.

Eve, there's a difference between luck
and miracles, okay?

No. Can anyone else tell us about a
miracle performed by Jesus?

I told you not to tell that story
anymore.

But it's the truth.

Thank you.

Have you ever been awake?

Never seen a daybreak?

Leaning on my pillow in the morning.

Thank you.

Thank you, brother.

Clean it up.

Why are you so awesome these days? You
won a lot of money these days. Hey,

brother. Congratulations.

Congratulations. Thank you.

Actually, I'm not strong even now. I
won't win even in this dark.

Why don't we buy a car and use the money
to pay off the debt?

Are you stupid?

The car is our fortune.

Come on, girls.

Come on, let's go.

The car is so big.

You'll be poor if you buy a new car.

New cars in Japan are cheaper and
cheaper.

Japanese cars are useless.

Japanese cars beat Chinese cars.
Japanese cars are useless.

Hey, have you found

the

girl yet?

What are you looking for? Just a few
things. A pair of gloves and a haircut.

That's enough.

Don't be so shy.

You're a bad boy.

He looks like a nice guy.

That tenant was caught last week.

Two of the cabinets were broken.

The shares fell.

That's enough.

Let's play cards.

What? I can't talk?

I'm sorry.

Is that so?

Lord for giving our dad a new Cadillac.

I know it's because of us. We made it
happen.

We will continue to do good in this
world. We promise.

Amen.

Songs from the Song of Solomon.

Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet,
and thy speech is comely.

Thy two breaths are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle that feed among the

lilies. Let my beloved come into his
garden and eat his pleasant fruit.

You have ravished my heart with the
glance of your eyes.

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his
mouth. For thy love is better than...

It's so embarrassing.

I need to give you a new mission.

Why are you here?

This is for you.

It's cool.

Come in.

I cut the hair myself.

I want to be a hairdresser when I grow
up.

Can I cut your hair?

No thanks.

Can I braid your hair?

All done.

Let's see.

I feel sick.

What's wrong?

I don't know. I feel weak, like Samson.

Like who?

I should go home.

Why aren't you dancing while the band is
on?

That's how depressing it is. So much
guilt.

I'm sorry.

I know.

But you can understand how I don't much
feel like dancing.

You don't have to do that.

Well, if I'm not dancing, I might as
well be productive.

I've read the papers.

It's said that cats and dogs have to be
transplanted, right?

In the past 10 years, human transplant
surgery has been very good.

The big problem is that very few people
want to donate.

That's right.

Winnipeg, a Chinese man waited more than
10 years to get a donor.

Frank, I think your cell group and your
brother...

Maybe it's a match.

Yes, brother.

Actually, I'm not easy to speak.

But my brother is younger than me.

I just need to do a simple inflammation.

That's all.

Brother, it's not easy to kill a person
in one day.

So when do you do the inflammation?

Why does Baba have to do it?

Can't they find somebody else?

You don't even want me to help him.

Now I'm asking him to help me.

Where are you going?

If you help me, I'll give you my money.

What are you going to do?

Are you saying your money came from God?

I don't know if I'm right.

God will protect Dad and Uncle Nate and
we do more good in this world.

We have to spread the news of the Lord
and we have to convert somebody and we

have to keep praying.

Is anybody else coming?

Half -lake?

What's it made out of?

Half.

More thanks.

You have a lot of Jesus stuff.

I have an extra Bible.

Do you want it?

No, thanks.

Have you ever opened your heart to the
Lord?

No. Well, would you like to open your
heart to our Savior, the Lord Jesus

Christ?

I'm sick.

That's not your fault.

I'm not into Jesus.

But you can have everlasting life.

No, thanks.

I can help you.

No, thank you.

Why doesn't the Buddha dance with Jesus
anymore?

Irreconcilable differences.

Truthfully, we tiptoe around Jesus most
of the time.

He likes to think he's the only one
here.

Will my dad be okay?

Depends. Your girl's been successful in
your missions.

Well, Karina couldn't convert surrender.

Doesn't look good for Baba.

Is my mama still in limbo?

Personally, I don't go for all that fire
and brimstone crap.

But if you're really worried, you should
take some of that paper money and burn

it for your grandma and your dad so you
can bargain with the devil.

You should do it in a church.

In the house of worship.

Trust in the Lord and do good.

So shalt thou dwell in the land and
verily thou shalt be fed.

Delight thyself also in the Lord and he
shall give thee the desires of thine

heart.

Very good, girls. Now let's turn to page
275.

This is God's house, Eve. What were you
trying to do?

You know you must never play with
matches.

She's sorry.

Well, there's no real damage done. But
you must never, ever play with matches

again. Do you understand?

Eve is a troublemaker. I am not.

Eve is the mother of all sins.

Go away. She's a big liar.

I'm not a liar.

You lie all the time. But your grandma
being an opera singer and your father's

accident.

How should we punish her?

Make her swear in the Bible to never lie
again. And if she does, God will punish

her.

Do it, Eve.

Just do it, Eve.

Do it, Eve. It's for your own good.

Repeat after me.

I, Eve, Ing.

I, Eve, Ing.

Swear on the Bible.

Swear on the Bible.

I will never tell another lie.

I will never tell another lie.

Or else... It has to be something
serious.

Or else you won't get any presents for
Christmas.

It has to be something more serious.

Or else...

You'll die next year.

Is that year starting in January or
Chinese New Year?

When's the Chinese New Year?

February.

Say, or else I will die next year
starting in February.

It's for your own good.

Or else I will die next year.

Starting in February.

Now Eve, tell us the truth.

Did your father really have an accident
in California?

No.

See? It's not that hard to tell the
truth.

What are you doing?

You don't have to cry.

I won't get hurt.

I bought you a

neck

collar.

It's not good to look at the wall all
the time.

It hurts my neck.

I'll see you

at

the hospital.

Kung pa pa kung pa pa la.

Which window is it?

I want

to

go home.

Don't you want to see papa?

It's my fault that Mama died.

It's my fault that Baba's in the
hospital.

I swore on the Bible that I wouldn't
lie.

I know.

I told a lie.

Who's in front of us?

Hello. Yeah.

Oh. Oh.

Is something wrong?

Is Dad okay?

You have to

do

this. You have to be baptized.

I know.

And you have to be serious about it.

How long should I stay in the water?

The longer, the better.

I purify you with this holy water.

Let your sins wash away.

Stop it, Eve.

You have to be serious.

You have to stay down.

That night, I saw the firehorses.

Thousands of firehorses that drowned in
the river.

They came to me.

They were talking to me.

They were comforting me.

We have called your child, Karina, to
this cleansing water that she may share

the faith of your church and have
eternal life.

By the mystery of this consecrated
water, lead her to a new and spiritual

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

This is our faith.

This is the faith of the church.

We are proud to profess it in Christ
Jesus our Lord.

Amen.

I died in the bathtub.

Karina told me that God forgave me of my
sins.

She said it didn't matter if I died for
an eternity or for just one second.

I baptize you in the name of the Father.
It still counted.

And of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

And he anoints you with the prisoner of
salvation.

Have put on Christ, and in him you are
now baptized.

Sometimes my sister will ask me about
the night I died.

She asked me if I saw God.

I tell her I saw a light, and in that
light I saw a face.

I know it wasn't the face of Jesus or
the Buddha or anything that I've seen

before.

All I know is that I saw a bright white
light and the light was kind and good.
