10x19 - One More

[bunniefuu]

We lost our brothers and sisters.

We succumbed to darkness and vengeance.

I've spoken to God.
He told me to hang you.

But we kept the faith.

The Lord's house is a tower.

- The righteous enter...
- [Shotgun cocks]

and are safe.

[Screams]

As we fell into moments of despair, a miracle happened.

He's with me.

By the grace of our friends, we were saved.

But we still have more work to do.

To rebuild our community.

To provide for our family.

To save our soul.

No, we don't.

Hey.

You remember these?

I remember news footage of people in toy stores trampling over each other to get them.

Yeah.

Gracie's gonna go nuts.

One for Coco.

[Sighs]

Okay.

That's it?

Yes.

That's all we get.

Why?

It's just whiskey.

No.

It's not "just whiskey."

It's perfection.

It's rare.

This bottle?

Easily cost over $ , .

The fact that people would pay that much to get drunk is a huge part of what was wrong with the world.

The point isn't to get drunk, it's...

Just take the cup to your nose and sniff.

[Inhales deeply]

Now take a moment and tell me what smells you're getting.

What does it remind you of?

[Inhales deeply]

Maple syrup.

Vanilla.

Breakfast as a kid.

Now take a sip.

And let it sit.

Now pay attention to the finish.

How the flavor evolves.

Wow.

Yeah, exactly.

Now, we eat.

And the meat will taste even better.

drinking and gambling right now?

[Chuckles] Oh, yeah?

Is card sharking part of proper Priest training?

Was there a whiskey class in the seminary?

- Actually, yes, there was.
- Oh.

[Chuckles softly]

I'm serious.

I had a mentor.

Reverend George.

He was a good friend.

And a great teacher.

And my first "class" with him was at a boy's funeral.

♪♪

Tommy Franklin.

He d*ed of cancer.

He was in his freshman year of college and...

...and he d*ed.

And everyone in town came to the funeral.

And Reverend George performed the service.

He spoke as they lowered Tommy into the ground.

And he said all the right things.

Without even trying.

At least, you know... It didn't look like he was...

Anyways...

Funeral ends, and we get in his car to go to the wake.

And he... [Laughs] he just takes off.

the whole way.

He says, "We have to get there before the others!"

And he's running stop signs and saying a prayer each time he does, and my eyes were closed the whole way.

And we get there, and he...

He heads straight for the liquor cabinet.

I say, "What are you doing, Reverend?"

And he says, "Shut up, Gabriel!"

And he snatches off my collar.

And then he pulls off his. And he starts pouring.

And then Tommy's father walks in.

And Reverend George walks over to him, two drinks in hand... and...

...he just starts talking.

He talks to everyone... and they're at ease.

They're smiling.

Laughing.

And he tells me, you know... all I have to do is be with them, in the moment...

S-speak from my heart and don't worry about what I think they want to hear.

And I... I try, but I'm... I'm not as good at it as he is.

And then later he tells me that real ministering isn't preaching from a pulpit.

It's talking to people one on one, on their own terms.

Relating to them, you know?

That's how I know about whiskey.

[Clears throat]

You need to start preaching again.

No, you do.

I'm gonna be mad at you if you don't.

Listen.

When I was out there finding people to bring to Alexandria...

That felt right.

Helping people was right.

We haven't done that for a long time.

We've gotta get back to it.

I don't want to preach anymore.

Why?

You really think things are gonna go back to the way they were?

[Sighs]

It has to.

It won't.

[Sighs]

The world isn't built for the way we used to be.

You don't believe that.

Your head is all... over the Whisperers.

It's...

Who and what they were...

That is... not most people.

Evil people aren't the exception to the rule.

They are the rule.

Well. Now I'm sober.

[Bottle clinks]

After this next round,

I'm gonna climb up to the roof and jump off head first.

You want me to perform your last rites?

I'll get back to you.

Ow.

Probably for the same reason you keep all those bibles.

I wear it because the word of God still matters.

It's a light in an otherwise very dark world.

And a reminder of the goodness still within us.

Things like love. Mercy.

Forgiveness...

Toilet paper.

What?

The bibles. [Sighs]

They're my toilet paper.

I like the thin pages.

And I can find them everywhere.

Maybe instead of wiping your ass with it, you should read it.

[Chuckles] Yeah, I've read it.

Cover to cover.

That's why I wipe my ass with it.

Must be hard, preaching about something you don't believe in.

I do believe.

"Evil people aren't the exception to the rule.

They are the rule."

I was drunk.

A drunk tongue's an honest one.

There's nothing left in this world but thieves and murderers.

No. There's still goodness.

He didn't "give" you anything.

What did you say?

You're just trying to make sense out of what happened to you.

So you wall yourself off in here, believing that everyone left is evil or only out for themselves.

Because it's easier to accept than the truth.

That you meant less to your brother than some scraps of food.

- Gabriel...
- No. He's gonna hear this.

I know something about looking for the meaning in things.

But most times, there isn't any.

No answers, no "grand design."

Your brother didn't give you any enlightenment.

Just a ripped up face.

And you're so full of hate that you can't see that you're about to m*rder two good people, and for what?

They still love.

Still sacrifice.

Your brother didn't give you any truth.

He just betrayed you.

And if you punish others for his sins, then you're no better than him.

Now, you weren't always like this.

None of us were.

You have to remember who you were.
