:21:00
'Cause I need a pen
and paper.

:21:02
Yeah. Could you step in here
for a minute, please?

:21:04
I need a pen and paper.
:21:10
The thing is, Ruth,
:21:12
about this, uh, deal
between you and Harlan...

:21:17
you know,
w- we've been talking, and, um,

:21:21
w- we just want to make sure
that you understand.

:21:24
They don't want you to tell
anybody where you got the money.

:21:28
...Okay.
...This is very important.

:21:30
You can't tell anyone ever.
:21:33
...Because if you do...
...I won't.

:21:36
Thank you, Ruth.
:21:39
We really appreciate it.
:21:42
Now can I have
that pen and paper?

:21:57
Eric?
:21:59
You want to get me
some ice?

:22:02
Sure, Blaine.
:22:03
You're a great kid.
:22:04
Did I ever tell you
about Eric?

:22:07
Yeah.
:22:08
His mother was standing
:22:10
on the steps
of the abortuary

:22:14
about to go in
and kill her baby.

:22:19
And she heard a Christian voice,
and that voice said,

:22:22
"You don't have to go
in there.

:22:25
"God loves you.
:22:28
God loves your baby."
:22:31
So she stopped, with tears
in her eyes, and she said,

:22:35
"I'm an unmarried woman.
:22:37
"I cannot afford the expenses
of having a child.

:22:40
"No one cared enough
:22:44
"to give me the strength
to accept this baby.

:22:49
No one but this one
Christian man."

:22:52
And that Christian man...
was me.

:22:56
Ha ha ha!
