01:01Hey, look at that
01:01That's terrific
01:03Uh, listen, Ms. Romano
01:04Was Julie home?
01:05No, I don't think so
01:06She had a meeting to go to this afternoon
01:09Do you have any idea
01:10What that daughter of yours did?
01:12What?
01:12In all my years as a superintendent
01:15This ain't never happened to me before
01:16I'll pay for it
01:17No, no, no
01:18You don't realize
01:21She wrote me a note
01:24Thanking me
01:25For being a super, super
01:28My good
01:29Yeah
01:30I'd let you read it
01:31But it's out being embedded in plastic
01:34Here
01:34I got her a little candy
01:36Kind of a thank you for the thank you
01:38Well, aren't you nice?
01:39Yeah, she mentioned that too
01:42Listen, uh
01:43Tell her, uh, you know
01:45I don't expect no thank you
01:46For the thank you for the thank you
01:47No more thank you
01:48Thank you
01:55Hey, Ma
01:56Hi, sweetheart
01:57Hey
01:59Thank you for putting up
02:00Aha, the pot roast
02:02I was right
02:04I didn't do that
02:06Julie came home and she, um
02:07Started the pot roast
02:08Before she left for her meeting
02:10Julie did it?
02:12I don't know, there's something going on
02:13With that girl
02:14She's being very nice lately
02:16Report cards
02:17They're due, right?
02:18They are?
02:19No
02:20No, I still have a month
02:21Don't scare me like that
02:23Well
02:25Something's happening
02:25I don't know what it is
02:26She's acting very pleasant
02:28Yeah, it's scary
02:29I mean, she won't even fight with me
02:31And believe me, I've tried
02:33This is good
02:33Where'd you get it?
02:34It really is good candy
02:35Schneider brought it for Julie
02:39Well, no sense leaving the evidence, right?
02:41Um, you know what we gotta do?
02:43Take out all the paper here
02:45And scooch all the rest around
02:47And then Julie wants more
02:51Hey, um, honey
02:53What are these meetings
02:54That Julie's been going to?
02:56Do you know anything about them?
02:57Um, I heard her talking on the phone
02:59About some new group
02:59What group?
03:01I think it was called, um
03:02The Logs
03:03Yeah, The Logs
03:05Sounds like a conservation group
03:08Conservation?
03:09Julie?
03:10The spray can kid?
03:12Guess not, huh?
03:14Hi, Julie
03:16Mother
03:21Sister
03:28Daughter
03:31Um, now that we've clarified our relationship
03:34Here
03:34Um
03:36Uh, why don't we, uh
03:39Talk?
03:40About what?
03:42Oh, conservation
03:43Spray cans
03:44Live in schizo
03:46Why don't we talk about you?
03:48Which me, Mother?
03:49The elemental person that I was
03:51Or the enlightened being that I've become
03:54She's spaced
03:57Why don't you tell us about the logs?
03:59How'd you know about them?
04:01Well, I've been concerned about you
04:02Barbara told me
04:03Oh, sister
04:06Why...
04:06Why that's so considerate of me
04:09I didn't even realize Mother was worried
04:13Uh, Julie, uh, why don't you tell us about the logs, huh?
04:16I mean, uh, how come you haven't said anything about them?
04:18Well, I wasn't quite ready to discuss it yet
04:20I wasn't sure
04:22But now I am
04:24Oh, that's them
04:25Who?
04:25Some of the logs
04:26We don't even have a fireplace
04:30Mother, could you please watch your language while they're here?
04:35Hi, come in
04:36Thank you
04:37Hi
04:38Jeff, Celia
04:40This is my mother and this is my sister Barbara
04:42Hello, Jeff, Celia
04:44Hello
04:44Hi
04:44Ms. Romano, I have to tell you something
04:47I'm so happy
04:48We have a new sister
04:50Your mom had a baby?
04:53She means Julie
04:55My sister's your sister?
04:58Mom, is there something you've been keeping from me?
05:01We logs are all sisters
05:03Except when we're brothers
05:08Uh, why don't you sit down?
05:11You're truly kind
05:12Thank you
05:12Don't mention it
05:14Celia, Julie
05:26Hi
05:27Um, why don't you fill me in a little?
05:32What exactly is a log?
05:34A lamb of God
05:38Haven't you found Jesus?
05:40Jesus loves you
05:43Oh, I see
05:46Praise the Lord, she sees
05:50Another log for Jesus
05:53Mother
05:55I'm so glad you understand
05:56I wasn't quite sure how you'd take it
05:59Would you excuse me? I have to change
06:01We're going out
06:03Uh, Julie, could I, uh, talk?
06:05I'll get that, Mom
06:06Yeah, okay
06:09Hi, kid
06:10Oh, Ann, have you got a promo?
06:12I'm a little hungover from last night
06:16I feel like the devil
06:23I'd, uh, I'd like you to meet, uh, some of Julie's new friends
06:28Jeff Celia, this is our neighbor Ginny
06:30Hi
06:31Hi
06:33Why are they smiling at me?
06:36Jesus loves you
06:38Praise Jesus
06:40It was a fun evening, but it's affected my hearing
06:45Jeff and Celia are very religious
06:47What?
06:49Oh, you're Jesus free
06:52Father
06:54We're Christians, ma'am
06:56He showed us the way
06:57Mmm
07:01Aha!
07:02Oh, there you are
07:05I might have known
07:05Alright, out
07:07Out of this building
07:08Come on, Schneider, what are you doing?
07:09These are nice kids here
07:10Are you kidding?
07:11Look at them
07:11Clean, neat, well-dressed
07:12Normal kids don't look like that
07:16That's my suspicions right away
07:17Alright, what are you selling?
07:19Magazines?
07:20Cosmetics?
07:20Peanut brittle?
07:21Uh, kids, come on, sit down, it's okay
07:24Schneider, they're not selling
07:25Ms. Romano, please
07:27I am conducting this probe
07:29Alright, now spit it out
07:31What are you selling?
07:32Jesus Christ
07:33Watch your tongue
07:38Schneider, they're Christians
07:41Why aren't we all?
07:44You mean you found Jesus?
07:46I didn't know he was missing
07:53Ms. Reblicki, don't knock the big guy's kid
08:00You're asking for a hit in the head with the heavenly hammer
08:04Jeff, Celia, I've changed my mind, I think I'll stay in my room and meditate
08:08Bless you
08:09Do you think you're close to a decision?
08:11Very, very close
08:17Jesus loves you
08:18Go with Jesus
08:23Excuse me, Schneider
08:26Well, we have the Lord's work to do
08:28We can go pass out these bumper stickers
08:31Now watch out for the traffic
08:32We'd like you to have one, Ms. Romano
08:34Oh, thank you, that's very nice
08:36Good day
08:40You're a dear lamb
08:47Honk, if you love Jesus
08:50Except in hospital zones
08:55Ms. Reblicki, I'm telling you
08:57You're treading on thin ice
09:00Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord
09:02Romans 12, 19
09:05Crosby going my way
09:11Crosby going my way
09:12You know, the church lost a great priest when Bing decided to end his show business
09:19Bah, bah, bah, bah, bless you all
09:22Uh, you want some coffee, Ginny?
09:28How about an ice pack?
09:29Oh, no thank you
09:32I tell you, it's so unexpected, it just came out of left field
09:35Instant faith, add holy water and mix
09:40Uh, maybe we shouldn't make jokes
09:42Of course
09:42I mean, it's all kind of irreverent
09:44A lot of kids in school are into it
09:46Okay, honey, but she has a church
09:48How long has it been since we've been to it, Mom?
09:52But she went overboard, practically overnight she got so involved
09:56Well, Jesus said, be ye therefore ready, for the Son of Man cometh at an hour when you think not
10:02That's good, Ginny, you seem to know the Bible pretty well
10:05Spent a lot of time in hotels with Gideon
10:10Who's that?
10:12Uh, Gideon Bible
10:14Sure
10:17Would you, uh, excuse me, I gotta go, uh, talk to Julie, huh?
10:23I can see myself in this pipe
10:27Julie?
10:29Julie?
10:38Hi
10:40Hello, Mother
10:45Uh, I think your friends are very nice
10:47Thank you, I think they are
10:51Honey, how did you get into this?
10:54Well, um, Celia asked me to a meeting, and I went
10:58I realized how much more meaningful my life could be
11:01It just kinda made sense
11:03How come you didn't come to me about it?
11:05Well, because I was afraid you'd say, oh, it's just another, there goes Julie again
11:12Is that what it is?
11:14No, Mother
11:16I know it's hard to understand if you haven't felt it, but
11:19I'm really committed, I've spent a lot of time with the logs
11:23Awake
11:23I knew that would be your attitude
11:25Uh, look, honey, you're obviously very sincere here, it's
11:30Come on, tell me about it, huh?
11:32Yesterday I witnessed for Jesus
11:34Oh, Mother, it was so fulfilling
11:36Oh, honey, that, that's good
11:38Um, what else do you do?
11:40We have Bible discussions, Mom, you really should read it
11:43Well, honey, I've read them
11:44It could save your soul
11:45I wish you wouldn't act as if there weren't a moment to lose
11:49Seeing the multitudes, Jesus to lose
11:51Uh, Julie, I'm really not up to a Bible reading right now
11:53I see, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak
11:56Don't worry, Mother, Jesus loves you just the same
11:59Good
12:01Uh, look, uh, honey, your friend Jeff talked about a decision that you had to make
12:06Is it something I can help with?
12:07Oh, no, Mother
12:10What is it you have to decide?
12:12Whether or not I should devote my life to God
12:14Whether I should spend the rest of my life preaching the kingdom of God
12:19Whew
12:20Uh, yeah, well, that's a very heavy private, that's a big decision there
12:25I don't know whether I can help with that one
12:27Of course not, Mother, you're not a true Christian
12:30Well, when did that happen?
12:32Did my license expire or something?
12:35Mother, I know you mean well, but this is a decision that I have to make alone
12:39With his guidance
12:40Well, I don't think he'd mind if I helped with the guiding here
12:44I mean, it's not something you plunge into
12:45You're young, you're still searching
12:47You're still searching, Mother, I've found
12:49Just because your generation lost faith doesn't mean that mine can't find it
13:00Aren't you glad you didn't have a daughter?
13:02laughter
13:03laughter
13:05laughter
13:32Julie, will you turn it off?
13:38Little Miss Saint.
13:40I'm not a saint, yet.
13:44Look, sis, I'm glad you're into this, really.
13:48But if it's for you, it's for you.
13:51I mean, do I have to live in a shrine?
13:52I've done nothing worth repenting for yet.
13:55Many are called and few are chosen.
13:58This is my room, too.
14:00You made me take down Peter Frampton.
14:02I had a fight to save Elton John.
14:06Barbara.
14:07If you're gonna go with the superstar,
14:09go with the superstar.
14:16Hi, Mr. Romano.
14:18Morning, Schnottner. Did you lose your pass, Kay?
14:20No, no, no, no.
14:21No, I just, uh, I just didn't want to barge in.
14:24You didn't want to barge in?
14:26No, no, you know, in case, uh,
14:28Julie was saying her morning papers or something.
14:32Uh, is she here? I got something for her.
14:35Yeah, she'll be out in a minute.
14:37I guess, uh, to load off your mind,
14:39I mean, her joining the logs, I mean, uh,
14:41don't have to worry about her smoking or drinking
14:43or heisting hubcaps or nothing.
14:46Well, I guess you got something there.
14:49You don't sound too happy about it.
14:52Well, frankly, I'm not so sure I am.
14:54Um, want to, for instance?
14:57Yeah.
14:58Okay.
14:59Yesterday, I was in the supermarket with Julie,
15:01and she goes up to a perfect stranger and says,
15:05Sister, have you found Jesus?
15:08Well, there's nothing wrong with that.
15:10She was a nun.
15:16Morning, Mom.
15:17Oh, hi, Schnottner.
15:18Hi, how are you?
15:20Good morning, all.
15:21Jesus loves you.
15:22Well, we're all very glad.
15:27Schneider, would you like a cup of coffee?
15:29You mean a sit-down cup?
15:30Of course.
15:31Oh, yeah, terrific.
15:32It's great.
15:34There you go.
15:35Mother, would you say grace?
15:40Uh, yeah.
15:44In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, amen.
15:46Bless us, the Lord, for these thy gifts
15:48we are about to receive from thy vanity
15:49through Christ our Lord, amen.
15:50That was very nice, Mother.
15:52Schneider, would you like to add to that?
15:54Oh, I don't, uh, I have, uh, I, uh, I, uh...
15:58Well, I have, I have one.
16:00That's my father used to say.
16:03Look, it's...
16:05Rub-a-dub-dub, thank God for the grub.
16:12We are not finished yet.
16:15Dear Jesus, we thank you for the blessings
16:16that you bring to this table.
16:17Amen.
16:18And we hope that we will always be worthy
16:19of your generosity.
16:20Amen.
16:21May this food give us the strength
16:22to carry your message through the day.
16:23Amen already!
16:24It's only an instant breakfast.
16:27Amen.
16:30Why don't you come for dinner, Schneider?
16:32She turns the milk into Ovaltine.
16:41Listen, I, uh, I got something here,
16:44a little bumper sticker for you there.
16:45Look, I like that.
16:46You and me for J.C.
16:49Thank you, Schneider.
16:50That's lovely.
16:51May I be excused, Mother?
16:52Of course.
16:53Thank you, Mother.
16:55You and me for J.C.?
16:57Where did you get that?
16:59It's left over from the Jimmy Carter campaign.
17:12By any chance,
17:13do you happen to be a little bit religious?
17:15Oh, absolutely.
17:16I didn't know that.
17:17Oh, yeah, really, I am.
17:18I mean, uh, well, I've seen the robe,
17:21uh,
17:23Ten Commandments,
17:24Sound of Music twice.
17:27You know what was my greatest thrill?
17:29The agony and the ecstasy.
17:30Huh?
17:31All right.
17:31Remember the part,
17:32Carlton Heston is painting
17:33the Sistine Chapel for Pope Julius.
17:35Michelangelo.
17:36Pope Michelangelo.
17:37And he's up there in the ranch, see?
17:38And he's painting, he's painting.
17:39He's been up there for a couple of years.
17:40Okay, now,
17:41the Pope comes in, right?
17:43And the Pope sees him up there
17:44painting away, see?
17:45And the Pope says...
17:47When I said paint that ceiling,
17:48I meant blue.
18:07You stole my punch line.
18:23Hey, uh, Barbara,
18:25you want anything else?
18:26No.
18:29How do you feel about Julie?
18:33I don't know, honey.
18:35A part of me thinks
18:36it's just all very beautiful.
18:38Another part of me
18:39is frightened by it.
18:43How do you feel about it?
18:45Uh, a little uncomfortable.
18:47Well, she's so serious about it.
18:49I know you're supposed to be,
18:51but it's a little embarrassing.
18:53A lot of my friends
18:54don't understand hers either.
18:56Is she losing friends?
18:58Yeah, some of them.
19:00See, the worst part of it is
19:01I find myself avoiding her.
19:03I feel guilty.
19:04I know it's wrong.
19:06Honey,
19:08I'm a little embarrassed by it, too.
19:11And
19:12I'm a little ashamed
19:14of being embarrassed by it.
19:16Mother, I won't be home till late.
19:18We're having a Bible discussion.
19:19Aren't you gonna go
19:20to the pep rally for the team?
19:21Barbara, I'm on another team now.
19:24Aw, Julie, come on.
19:26Mom, you don't understand.
19:28Try us.
19:29We're going to discuss
19:30the adulterous woman
19:31they brought before Jesus
19:32to ask if she should be stoned.
19:34Well, if they're gonna
19:34throw rocks at her,
19:35I don't blame her
19:36for being stoned.
19:40Jesus likes you.
19:45Uh, oh, I only have
19:47a half hour till school.
19:48I gotta do my homework.
19:51Hey, Julie,
19:52I hope you found time
19:53to do yours.
19:54Well, I'll study after school,
19:56but I can't take too long.
19:57Today, the logs are giving
19:59my first real Christian project.
20:01Oh, honey, that's fine,
20:03but you can't ignore
20:04your schoolwork.
20:05I mean, you gotta think
20:05of your future.
20:06Take therefore no thought
20:07for the morrow,
20:08for the morrow shall take thought
20:09for the things of itself.
20:10God damn it!
20:10Julie, will you stop
20:11quoting the Bible?
20:14Uh, I'm sorry.
20:17You got an advantage on me.
20:19You know, I'm not up
20:20on my quotations.
20:21It's been a long time.
20:22You wanna talk to a priest?
20:23Why not?
20:24Perhaps I could show him
20:25the way.
20:27Hey, come on.
20:29Who appointed you
20:29God's head honcho?
20:32Julie, look, honey,
20:34the church has been
20:35a big part of your life.
20:36Mine, too.
20:37Before or after your divorce?
20:38Uh-oh.
20:41Mom, look, I'm sorry,
20:42but how can you tell me
20:44about my faith
20:44when you don't even
20:45follow yours?
20:46Don't push me too far,
20:47huh, Julie?
20:47You're getting angry, Mother.
20:49Jesus forgives you
20:49and so do I.
20:52Why, thank you, dear.
20:54What do you mean?
20:55I forgive you.
20:56What do I have
20:57to be forgiven for?
20:59Well, let's see.
21:00For openers,
21:01for being smug,
21:03humorless,
21:04intolerant,
21:04unkind,
21:05pompous,
21:06put them all together,
21:07they spell a very
21:08unchristian Christian.
21:09My answer to that
21:10is from Timothy, verse 12.
21:11I thank Jesus Christ,
21:12our Lord,
21:12for that he counted me
21:13Oh, come on, Julie.
21:14Will you stop quoting
21:15for a minute
21:15just to listen to me?
21:17I mean, I really don't think
21:18I like what's going on here.
21:19I mean, if it's a question
21:21of whether you should
21:21do your schoolwork
21:23or run around
21:23with the logs...
21:24I will run around
21:25with the logs,
21:26as you put it,
21:27for as long as I want.
21:31Jesus loves you.
21:33Jesus loves you.
21:40Of course, you know,
21:41when you think about it,
21:42Ginny, you know,
21:43and weigh all the pros
21:45and cons here,
21:46I mean, Julie's attitude
21:47about everything
21:48is so much better.
21:49I mean, she speaks
21:50so sweetly and politely.
21:53She's so serene.
21:55She, uh, she doesn't fight
21:56with Barbara anymore.
21:58Barbara fights alone.
22:01You know what?
22:02She cleans a room
22:03without even being told.
22:04She cleaned my room
22:05without even being told.
22:08I mean, there you go.
22:10See what I mean?
22:11She is wonderful.
22:13I can't stand it.
22:15Neither can I.
22:17I tell you, Ginny,
22:18I don't know what to do.
22:19It's like, it's like
22:20being with a walking saint.
22:22Where did I go right?
22:25Well, you said she stomped
22:26out of here this morning.
22:27There's hope in that.
22:28Yeah.
22:29I mean, that's,
22:29that's the Julie I understand.
22:34Uh, it's not just Julie,
22:35you know.
22:36Uh, it's me, too.
22:38I don't know.
22:39I think I feel bad
22:41because she didn't come to me
22:42when she felt this lack
22:43in her life.
22:44I think, I don't know,
22:46I'm jealous or resentful.
22:48Maybe you should go see
22:49Doc Fillmore.
22:50He's awful good
22:50with these kind of problems.
22:51Who's he?
22:52The bartender where I work.
22:58And Julie's just looking.
22:59We're, we're all looking.
23:01Oh, yeah,
23:02but she's gone so far overboard.
23:05Well, maybe no more
23:06than the rest of us.
23:07I mean, I've been to shrinks,
23:10astrologers, counselors.
23:11I once spent a weekend
23:12in a hotel room
23:13with eight other people
23:14punching pillows.
23:17Oh, Ginny,
23:17I don't even know where she is.
23:19It's so late.
23:20I mean, how long
23:20can a Christian project take?
23:23About 2,000 years so far.
23:26Oh, what could the project be?
23:28Gee, she's standing
23:29on a street corner
23:29singing hymns.
23:30The worst that can happen
23:31is a bad case of laryngitis,
23:33and you'll be spared
23:34the dinner benediction.
23:37Ginny?
23:38Mother?
23:39I feel so fulfilled.
23:41Oh, good.
23:42Honey, uh,
23:44is the project over?
23:45Oh, no, no, no, no.
23:46It's just begun,
23:47and it's such a challenge.
23:49Well, what is it, honey?
23:50What are you doing?
23:50I'll get him.
24:04Mother?
24:05Ginny?
24:05Meet my project,
24:07Mr. Claggett.
24:10I'm gonna lead him to Jesus.
24:14Be sure to watch next week
