"I'm so fuckin' tired." "What, can't you sleep?" "It's too loud all the time." "So noisy." "Can't." "Can't get outta my head." "I can't hear nothin'." "Can't listen." "This place is starting to mess with my head." "I'm telling you, I'm having these weird ass dreams." "Poor honey." "I thought I wanted to kill myself, babe." "I thought I wanted to hang myself in solitary." "I don't get it." "You dreamed that?" "But then I got too scared to die... and I just hung there for all eternity I don't wanna fuckin' be here." "I don't wanna fuckin' be here." "Honey." "Honey, what'd you have to eat that night?" "(Lucetta) lt must have been something." "Was it spicy?" "(Jack) Yeah. I got a grandchild." "Do you really?" "Yeah." "Her name is Katie." "Three years old." "Cute." "Oh, yeah." "Yeah, very, very cute." "Does she look like you?" "Hell, no." "Oh, no." "I bet she loves you though." "Yeah." "Well." "You see her much?" "They, they live up state so we don't see them much." "Ah, that's too bad." "(Jack) She's getting a divorce." "My daughter." "(Lucetta) I'm sorry." "(Jack) What are you gonna do?" "People are gonna do what they're gonna do." "(Lucetta) You in pain?" "(Jack) Ah, it's just my back." "(Lucetta) Oh." "What, did you get that playing ball or, like, from some war?" "(Jack) Uh, it's just life." "So, I, I don't know if I can h..." "But I don't want you to get your hopes up." "About what?" "What I can do for you, for your husband." "There's a whole system." "You ever tried magnet therapy?" "F or your back. I mean, it's like these magnets that you wear and stuff." "(Jack) Magnets?" "(Lucetta) Yeah, it's really good." "Actually, you should come over sometime because I got these, um, insoles this guy sold me." "And I wear 'em in my shoes and I don't get tired in school or anything." "And yeah." "And sometimes I even put 'em under my pillow before I go to sleep." "(Jack) And what does that do?" "(Lucetta) Well, okay." "You know how we're all toxic and stuff, right?" "With, like, all the microwaves... and cell phones and all that weird stuff flying through the air." "So, it all builds up inside of you, right?" "And it makes you all achy and upset." "And it can give you brain tumors." "Really." "I mean, it kills people." "So, these magnets, they detox you." "(Jack) Wow." "That's." "Yeah, it's real." "I believe in it." "You don't believe in it?" "(Jack) Well, I don't know." "I guess." "(Lucetta) No, it's real." "I mean, look." "I'm all into the body, you know?" "And for me, if the body's feeling good, the mind just follows." "You know?" "Absolutely." "Egg?" "My kids made 'em." "Now I got 'em all and I have to eat 'em." "Yeah, they're nice." "They're pretty." "Eat me." "Please." "Why not?" "I'm just eating the healthy part." "Oh, go on." "Just eat the whole thing." "(Prison Guard 1 ) Kreeson, what's up?" "You haven't been to chow in two days." "(Prison Guard#3) You got a call out to go to Medical." "Get dressed." "Hold up here." "(Lucetta) You feel anything?" "No." "A kind of tingling?" "(Jack) No, yeah, I don't, I don't think I." "Like a pull?" "You know, it's not dramatic, you know." "Just, it's kind of a sense." "Yeah, well, you know, maybe a little something." "Yeah." "(Madylyn ) To what extent is my commitment to obey" "God based on dos and don'ts... or on a true love for Him?" "In what recent circumstance was I aware of God's leading?" "Why don't you say the blessing?" "(Jack) Yeah." "Blessed O Lord." "Blessed O Lord this food to our use... and us for Thy lowly service." "And make us mindful of the needs of others." "(Madylyn ) ln Christ's name, Amen." "Amen." "You lose your place?" "You want an egg?" "( cafeteria noise )" "(Radio Host) Sin comes naturally to us from our birth." "Uh, we, we, it's inbred in us." "We are, we are not sinners because we sin." "We sin because we are sinners." "even if you lived a life of perfect righteousness... you deserve hell." "You know why?" "Because all of our righteousnesses, Isaiah says... are as filthy rags." "(Lucetta) You're real sweet, Jack." "Real sweet." "Okay, harder." "You're good, Jack." "(Lucetta) You're a good man for helping us." "(Lucetta) I appreciate it." "(Jack) I mean, you, you know that nobody can know about this." "You know that, right?" "I mean, nobody." "That's very important." "And for whatever you want... it'll all go bad if anybody knows." "Bad for everybody." "You understand that?" "Of course, silly." "(gym noises, ominous music )" "What's wrong?" "You're not eating?" "You ever think about things they say go on forever?" "What?" "Things they say go on forever, like... what's that mean, you know?" "Like, uh... the sky, like they say, sky goes on forever." "But what is that really?" "That's, I mean, you can't see nothin' you can't see, so." "It's like a big bowl of blue above you, and you can see clouds during the day... or you can see stars at night maybe." "But even with a telescope, you can't see forever." "So how do they know?" "(Lucetta) Know what?" "What it is." "Eternity." "How do they know?" "(Lucetta) So." "So, Jack... he said the Board's gonna review the whole thing." "Okay?" "(Lucetta) And, and, and they're gonna take into consideration, um... your age and, and, you know, your mom... and all that." "And, uh, the fact that you were an addict back then." "Um, he." "Stoney baby?" "Hmm?" "Look at me." "Well, I was trying to tell you about your parole." "Yeah." "Well, you weren't listening." "(Stone ) Oh, yeah, I'm listening." "I am." "Uh, okay." "So, so Jack said, um." "Calling him Jack?" "Sure." "That's good." "Who, what's he say?" "Okay, so, um, he's gonna talk to you." "And, and he's going over the whole thing." "And, and he's gonna decide in a few days to write up his notes in your case... file to submit it to the Parole commision so when they go over it next week, they're gonna see it." "Isn't that great, baby?" "Honey, this could be it." "Isn't that great?" "Yeah." "Well, didn't, didn't, didn't I do good?" "I mean, look at me." "What are you doing?" "Sometimes I think the best thing is... just, just listen." "Will you stop playing?" "(Radio Host ) ls the kingdom of, uh, you think it should be a peaceful kingdom and we should all get along?" "And great." "But is it just going to be a constant struggle?" "( Caller) Uh, that, that's a, that's a tough one because, uh, they, it is one of His creations." "And have the kingdom of heaven here on Earth." "( Guard #3) Crack fifty three!" "(Jack ) Just tell me, is it the thirtieth or the thirty first?" "I've had about enough lip from you." "Goddamn it, Just tell me." "Which one is it?" "You can button that up right now and be nice... and I mean it." "Kreeson's here." "(Stone ) How you ask a person to... to explain something that, that they experience... to where another person's got no way to relate to the, the whole indefiniteness of it, you know?" "Now, you don't believe me already, do you?" "Well, I'm not saying I don't believe you." "I just, you know, I, look, I've seen the tape." "It's quite a thing." "And, but nothing happened to you." "I mean, you weren't involved in any way." "Yeah, I, look, I don't know how to even." "I'm not." "I don't know." "I'm, uh." "You had what, a profound spiritual... epiphany." "Gee, man, I, I, I ain't never even heard that word before." "Look, we, we, we don't have to talk about it." "You know, it, it really don't matter." "Well, I mean, don't get me wrong." "I'd like to believe in such things." "But." "Like what, like me?" "You believe in me?" "Sure. I'd like to believe in you, too." "I mean, that's why we're all here, right?" "Well." "Okay, you know, it, look." "It weren't something like." "It, it was, it was just a moment." "The static." "Just all, all went away, you know." "And I, and I could really hear." "Like, I could hear clear, for real." "I don't know." "It just made me see everything different." "It made me look at my life in a different way." "It was just all of a sudden, I could, I could could see that... my life in here isn't empty and pointless like I thought it was before." "Look, Stone." "Just drop it." "Drop what?" "(Jack) Well, I know what you're trying to do, but don't." "Just, just, just don't." "It's not helping." "Just stop." "Hey, little man." "It, it don't matter to me no more." "What doesn't matter?" "I don't care about what, what you're doing... or what anybody else is trying to make you do." "Make me do?" "What's that?" "Nobody's trying to make me do anything." "Okay." "You should do what you think is right." "Okay?" "I am whatever you say I am in there." "So, so write what you feel." "Seriously. I mean it." "I mean, judge me how you think." "Well." "I mean, don't get me wrong." "I wanna be out." "But I'm gonna wrestle with the same shit if I'm out... and I'm gonna keep this feeling if I'm in." "(Jack) So you're all good now." "(Stone ) No, no, no. I, I, look." "Look, I ain't saying I'm all happy all of a sudden." "You know, I've been thinking about it a long time, man." "I mean, I'm not gonna just start waving and smiling at people." "I'm, I'm gonna pop off." "I'm gonna, I'm gonna lose my temper and... and say shit and do shit that I'm gonna gonna regret, whatever." "I just, I just, I am who I am, you know." "And that's okay." "You know what I'm sayin'?" "(Jack) No." "No, I'm afraid I don't." "(Stone ) Well, I told you I couldn't explain it really." "(Madylyn ) Are you okay?" "(Jack) lt's my back." "I'm gonna go sleep in the other room." "(Radio Host) You can take great comfort in that." "But it, that can be a false comfort." "Sometimes in the, in the twilight of the civilization... there can be a great cultural flowering." "But in reality, there are cracks in the foundation of that society... and that society is doomed." "(Lucetta) lf you really wanna know... I think it's some kind of play acting, or something." "It's all bullshit?" "No." "No." "Look, Stoney's just... you know, I mean, he's screwed up." "But he's got weird ideas about things." "And, sometimes really weird." "But, I mean, he's always been that way." "Talking to him, he..." "it almost seemed like." "(Lucetta) Like what?" "Something really I don't, I don't know." "Different." "No." "Look." "He's just trying impress you, you know." "Trying to do whatever it takes to get out." "(Lucetta) Hey, can you blame him?" "(Jack) No, just." "(Lucetta) Hey, sit down." "Come on." "Come on, sit down." "(Lucetta) Sit down." "Look." "He admires you a lot, you know." "He told me he learned a lot talking to you." "Can you be straight?" "As straight as you." "is this all just a, just, just, just, just tell me what's going on." "I don't do anything I don't wanna do." "I like you." "I like you, Jack." "I would never fuck you if I didn't want to." "Well, thanks." "God, you're beautiful." "You're beautiful." "Thank you." "I, I'm not gonna come over here anymore." "You're not?" "No." "Okay." "Maybe I should just take some antidepressants or something, I don't know." "Yes, you will." "What?" "It's okay though." "I don't mind when they say, oh, no, no more." "'Cause then I just sit back and wait." "But you'll call." "Won't you?" "Or drop by?" "Like maybe late again some night?" "Won't you?" "(Jack) Oh, God." "(Lucetta) Look, I don't care if you deny it." "It's funny to me." "Stop, stop this now." "I think about you so much, Jack, all day long l'm thinking about you." "I think about you at work." "Don't say that." "You're sexy, Jack." "And you know if you let Stone out, we can still be friends, too." "He won't know." "He won't even care." "Look, I do what I do 'cause I'm on my own, okay?" "And I gotta make my own way." "So, don't you want to help us?" "Don't you want to help me?" "Don't talk like that." "I can't. lt's not that simple." "You can't leave, can you?" "Sweet." "What the hell am I doing?" "(Jack) Goddamn it." "(Lucetta) Oh, come on, Jack." "He's a good man at heart." "You really believe that?" "Yeah, I do." "No different than you and me." "Do you go to church?" "Hell no." "There's no such thing as God." "(Miss Dickerson ) They called again." "They need the Kreeson report." "I just sent it!" "You don't have to yell." "I'm on the intercom." "Then you've got your RGC recommendation." "Vocational counseling, psych therapy," "G.E.D., NA, NA program." "So the Board needs to decide if it's safe to let you back into the world that's... that you're not a danger to yourself or others." "Rehabilitated, right?" "Yeah." "Hey, you know in my book it says that chronic neck pain... comes from being hanged in another life." "Well, it's my back, it's not my neck." "Well, I'm just making conversation," "(Jack) Look, if, if you're not interested in the details of your hearing, we're done here." "(Stone ) We're done?" "(Jack) You're done." "How you mean we're done?" "My report's already sent." "We're done." "Basically they just wanna hear that you take responsibility for your actions." "See the, uh, the thing about that, uh, I don't know." "(Jack) About what?" "(Stone ) lt's funny, you know, 'cause you're always asking me about that night." "How it made me feel." "You know, when my cousin come out the house... and got me and we went back inside... it was trippy, man, because, like, two minutes before... you know, my Poppy, he was, he was alive." "There was color in his face." "There was light in his eyes." "And then I go inside there and... and then I see them... lying there all the where, everywhere." "There was this buzzing in my ears, you know." "And I thought it was just the shit that we was on." "But it kept growing and it started scaring the shit outta me." "Teach was bouncing off the walls, yelling at me." "We gotta do something." "You gotta help me." "We gotta handle this." "But all I could hear in my head was this sound." "And then, I don't know how I knew... but I just knew that there needed to be a fire." "I went to the garage." "I got the can of gasoline... and I got the match and I lit it." "You ever seen a fire take control?" "It's something." "And it's alive." "And I watched it... take them up... and start to change them." "And the only thought that came in my head... was this is awesome." "Awesome?" "(Stone ) Yeah." "It was... truly awesome." "And, um, the thing is... I, I know I'm supposed to take responsibility for my action." "I know that I'm supposed to feel guilty about it." "But I never did." "And I never knew why." "But now I think I can understand that it was just... part of what was supposed to happen in my life's journey." "You know?" "(Jack) That was your decision." "You did that." "(Stone ) No, I'm not saying I didn't." "I'm saying that we're all God's coworkers and... we, and we don't even know it." "Your crime has nothing to do with God." "(Stone ) Why not?" "God is everything." "You know, it, look at, look at earthquakes and floods and... and tornados and all the bad shit that happens." "Why don't you think that we're a part of of all that, too?" "What we do, you know, the shit that we carry with us from one life to the next." "Maybe there's a plan that includes all of us." "You and me and my grandparents and we just just don't know it." "How can we know?" "Enough of this shit." "You know, you know, you." "You, you, Lucetta, she said that you were." "Lucetta?" "What, you call her Lucetta?" "Your wife." "She said." "She said." "(Stone ) Don't (Jack) What?" "Don't listen to her." "(Jack) What do you mean?" "Don't listen to what she's telling you, man." "Well, she, she believes in you." "It's a game to her, man. lt's a game." "She, I told you in the beginning." "She's a alien." "She's a, she's like a freak." "That's not a nice thing to say." "No." "Listen. I'm telling it to you straight, okay?" "She's just working on you." "She's working on you." "She's fucking you over, man." "She's, she's an animal." "You know, you have, you're fucking nuts?" "You know that?" "You're fucking nuts." "You got a beautiful wife who cares about you" "Beautiful?" "You think she's beautiful?" "Okay, you're a con." "I've known that from the fuckin' start." "I don't believe you for one fuckin' second." "Never did." "Never did." "So you both been conning me?" "Okay. I know." "I've been around the block a few times." "I oughtta know better." "I'm sick and fuckin' tired of it." "What'd I say, man?" "You, you expecting me to eat this new shit you've been handing out?" "Write a nice little note about your goddamn fuckin' epiphany." "You're the same bastard." "(Jack) You'll always be the same bastard." "I know I am !" "That's what I've been saying, man." "You, you don't get it." "Get it?" "Oh, no, no, no, I got it. I got it." "And I'm goddamn fuckin' fed up with you." "The both of you can go to hell for all I care." "I can't f.." "What have I done?" "Jesus Christ. I've, uh." "I mean, uh, just goddamn year in and year out." "I'm sitting across the desk from this and we we pretend we're doing something." "You pretend you've heard us and then we fall for it... and then you come back in one year and you're sitting right back here across the same desk from us again." "And somebody out there is hurt or dead." "Well, I'm not buying it anymore." "Nothing changes for the better." "It's all bullshit." "No one changes for the better." "And I've spent my whole fuckin' adult life doing this goddamn bullshit." "I'm sick to death of this whole fuckin' waste." "You got no more of my time, pal." "Get the hell outta here." "Come on." "Let's go." "Come on." "Get out." "Hey, man, you have anyone?" "What?" "anybody stand behind you." "You all alone?" "(Jack) I'm not." "(Stone )Come on, blow your motherfuckin' life up, man." "Blow it up." "All the way." "Do it." "Really." "Take it all away. lt helps." "(Jack) Hey, Peterson?" "We're done." "Just go ahead and burn your motherfuckin' life." "Now, goddamn it." "Blow it up." "Let it go." "All of it." "Did anybody not fuckin' hear me?" "Let's go, please." "(Miss Dickerson ) He's coming." "(Stone ) Just embrace it, man." "Burn it up. lt's awesome." "Get him the hell outta here." "(Stone ) lt's awesome." "I'm pulling for you." "Yeah, and well fuck you, you sick son of a bitch." "(Telephone )" "(Jack's Voice ) This is Jack and Madylyn Mabry." "Please leave a message." "(Lucetta) Jack?" "Mr. Mabry." "I've left messages at work, but you didn't call me back." "I'm kind of in the dark here." "Don't leave me dangling." "Okay?"

"What's up?" "How's Katie?" "(Madelyn ) Did you know you started out as a stone?" "Hmm?" "Your soul, it started out as a mineral or a pebble." "And then it was reincarnated as a plant... then it was a fish, birds, animals and so on." "You had to work your way up to being human." "Know what it's been doing, your soul?" "(Jack)Hmm, what?" "Paying off debts, past sins from past lives... reducing its burden from one life to the next." "(Jack) Where'd you get that?" "(Madylyn ) Junk mail." "You know what I think?" "I think we get this one life, I do." "And... you account for what you've done in it." "And if you don't, you pay for it when you die." "You don't think?" "(Jack) Shit." "(Madylyn ) Shit, shit." "Son of a bitch." "Fuck." "(Madylyn ) Fuck." "(Jack) Okay, I got it." "Motherfucker." "(Madylyn ) Why don't you make me another fuckin' drink, cocksucker." "(Madylyn ) Who is that?" "Hello." "(Jack) I'll take care of this." "Will you just pick up the phone sometime, you know?" "Can we just, can we just pick up the phone when you're here?" "Oh, Mrs. Kreeson." "Please, really." "This is inappropriate." "(Lucetta) Hi, Mrs. Mabry." "Did you get any of my messages, Mrs. Mabry?" "This is inappr." "Look, I'm sorry." "Please." "Young lady... I'm gonna take you to your car." "Let's go." "(Lucetta) Look, I'm a little bit worried." "I understand if you're worried, Mrs. Kreeson." "(Jack) But try and have a little patience." "Get in the fuckin' car and get outta here." "What's, what's wrong with you?" "Why are you being like this?" "And what's wrong with my husband?" "you're not supposed to be here, Mrs. Kreeson." "Did you tell him about us?" "(Jack) There is no us." "Get the fuck outta here." "(Lucetta) I just needed a friend to talk to, okay?" "Thank you, Mrs. Kreeson." "You've got no fucking idea, man." "(Jack) We'll talk in prison."

"Yeah, you know, I need a little something more to go on here." "I can't go into it. I, I, I just missed something." "I made a, I made a mistake." "Uh, if you wanna plead your concerns, that's fine." "Or if you wanna submit additional evidence, that's okay, too." "(Warden ) But you know as well as I do, his fate's already been determined." "It's luck and quotas." "And, and nothing I say will, will make a difference?" "(Warden ) Well, don't sweat it, Jack." "I mean, less than a month to go." "Sleep easy." "Hmm?" "All right." "(Jack) I'm going out."

"It says, while we, uh, uh, it says" "Christ died for the ungodly." "(Radio Host) Yeah, that's in Romans," "Chapter Five." "Romans 5:8."

"Her coming?" "Hmm?" "Or me going or anything you want." "Look, I just, I'm, I'm a little concerned about you, man." "You seem a little ragged to me." "Yeah, well, put your mind at ease." "(Stone ) So that's it for us, huh?" "You wanna ask me any more... questions or goals and shit?" "I'll sit in the chair." "We can do that thing, you know." "You better be smart or you're gonna be right back in here again." "Yeah, I got my, I got my release, Jack." "You ain't, you ain't gotta concern yourself about me no more, man." "You got it all right." "But make no mistake." "I can have 'em watch your goddamn ass twenty four hours a day." "You got me?" "I got you." "Shit, man, you don't believe in nothin', do you?" "I believe you're one fucked up son of a bitch." "I, I know you don't believe in me, but you don't believe in yourself." "You don't believe in God." "You don't, I don't, I don't think you feel that anything is true inside you." "I'll give you true." "I'm glad you're outta my hair, Gerald Kreeson." "Now you can be somebody else's headache." "Oh." "Yeah, life is just taking you by the neck, huh?" "Rattling your old frame and, uh, you don't know which way is up." "Well, this, it's scary shit when the wheels come off like that, man." "I feel ya." "I've been there." "I mean it, but that's when you gotta start listening now." "Where the fuck is she?" "What, you don't, you don't wanna shoot the shit with me anymore, man?"

"(Stone ) Oh Did you know what you were doing when you let my wife suck your cock?" "Good luck to you." "I'll see you out on the bricks." "Good luck to you." "(Radio Host) You know, right now we enjoy the" "Constitutional freedom to keep and bear arms." "If, if that were ever infringed... if that were ever repealed or just flat out violated and, uh... (Jack) Madylyn?" "As American citizens we can no longer bear arms." "As a Christian... would we be within our rights because" "Thomas Jefferson says... these rights are inalienable because they come from our creator... would we be within our rights as, uh, as Christians..." "Madylyn?" "(Radio Host) to revolt against the government and, uh, and its, uh... its denial of those fundamental Constitutional rights." "Uh, or, or would, uh, would, would a" "Christian have to respond differently?" "(Jack) Some mail." "(Radio Caller) Would have to respond and we as" "Christians would have to... to rise up against any government... that says we didn't have a right to protect ourselves because... I guess I would have to question, why do they wanna take our guns away from us?" "( Cicadas )" "(Lucetta) I like you." "I like you, Jack." "I would never fuck you if I didn't want to." "(Urination )" "(Jack) Madylyn !" "Wake up." "Wake up!" "Madylyn." "Madylyn, wake up, wake up." "Come on !" "Come on." "I gotta get to a phone." "(Madylyn ) Where are you gonna go?" "(Jack) What about Steve and Helen?" "(Madylyn )No, they're away." "(Jack) Well, what about Davis?" "(Madylyn ) lt's too far." "It's too late." "(Jack) Look at this." "Oh, my g." "(Jack) Goddamn it." "You motherfucker!" "(Jack) Goddamn it." "Goddamn it!" "Don't say that!" "(Jack) What?" "Taking the Lord's name." "Stop it." "Jesus, Madylyn." "Please." "Stop it!" "I won't stand for it!" "What are you talking about, for Christ sakes?" "(Madylyn ) This means something to me." "It may not mean anything to you anymore, but it means something to me!" "Jesus, Madylyn, we just almost got incinerated in our sleep by some... fucking nut job who I let out... and you're fucking bothering me about my fucking language?" "(Madylyn ) Nobody did this to us." "Give me a fucking break." "Nobody did this to us." "What?" "(Madylyn ) lt wasn't anybody." "It was an act of God !" "I got a pretty good fuckin' idea who did this to us." "This was an act of God." "I'm gonna tell the firemen." "What are you talking about, Madylyn?" "About the frayed wiring in the kitchen wall." "What are you talking about?" "What wire?" "In the kitchen wall." "In the, the basement." "What?" "There are all those rags down there, all those old rags." "I'm gonna tell them to go down there." "Why would you say that?" "Because it's as good a story as any." "(Sirens )" "(Madylyn ) lt's not that sunny out." "( Candace ) Everybody knows you can still get sunburned on a cloudy day." "(Madylyn ) Oh, look at the barns." "Remember that?" "Not really." "Don't know how you stuck it out as long as you did." "I think you'd have done this sooner." "I almost did once." "So what happened?" "What happened?" "(Partier) He's free, yes!" "(Partier) He's free." "(Partier) That's a free man there, huh?" "(Partier) Yeah !" "(Jack) Little bit of advice." "You know, it doesn't, that's how you do your job." "You do not want to make it a two way conversation." "Because they... have nothing on their minds but, well, they may have... nothin' but time to just think about ways to to work on you... to get under your skin." "And I, I don't know, you cannot make yourself a person to them." "(Janice ) Oh, believe me, I learned that lesson." "Well, I mean, they'll test you for sure." "Good looking woman like you." "Jack." "Well, you know, I'm retired, I'm not dead, you know." "Come on, Jack." "We're friends, okay?" "You're the best." "Well, a little fun." "Would send me off into the sunset." "Unh uh." "Let's just keep pro, okay?" "You wanna be a pro?" "Fuck pro." "They're, they're gonna fuckin' chew your your ass up in there." "(Janice ) Okay, Jack." "That's enough." "(Jack) Well, no, it's bullshit." "Jerking my chain like that, you fuckin' cunt." "Have some respect." "Hey, hey buddy." "Let, let's throw some darts with these kids." "(Janice ) Yeah, yeah, I'm in."

"I'm gonna get a cab." "I'm, I'm good." "We're on it." "Good." "Cab." "(Radio Host) And get us to reality that God has already deemed is going to happen." "Uh, and nothing is going to change that." "And so it's not like there is this cosmic battle between... good and evil, uh, and good might not triumph." "The reality is that there is a battle going on... uh, where you would see a huge... boxer holding a guy's head back." "And the little scrawny guy is... uh, flailing his arms, waving at the guy trying to beat him." "And that's exactly what God." "God has Satan subdued, but in... the flailing of his arms, uh, and this is particularly brought out in Revelation," "Chapter Twelve." "Satan flailing his arms is, is able to do it an, an awful lot of chaos... and damage and bad things happening." "And it's because he is enraged... because he knows his time is short." "Revelation Twelve said that." "(Jack) Hey." "(Stone ) This is some shit, man." "Whoa." "(Jack) You ruined my whole life." "Why?" "Don't fuck with me boy." "Why?" "(Stone ) Why what?" "Why did you do it?" "(Jack) Why did you?" "(Stone ) Hey, man." "You ain't gonna do this." "(Jack) You think I won't?" "You think I won't?" "You think I won't?" "(Jack) You think I won't?" "No." "No, I don't." "(Radio Caller) You know, first I thought I was crazy." "Was this, was this really happening to me?" "Was it... was it over my head?" "Or is there really a God who can... breathe light into me and, uh, make me feel his presence?" "Uh, so this is actually what encouraged me to write the book." "And, honestly, it has completely changed the way that I look at life, the way that I view reality." "(Radio Caller 2) Assumed that there was a higher power that had created the universe." "Until, you know, God set a bush on fire and called on Moses, and... oh, by the way, you were right." "(Radio Host) Brandon, thanks for the call appreciate it very much." "Uh, we take the first hour every" "Thursday to just open the phone lines." "And in your view, uh." "(lnmate ) You know, and I think I'd like to get, I'm ready, you know. I, I, I'm." "(Radio Host) Next up here is Gerald from Southwest Detroit." "Welcome, Gerald." "(Stone ) I, I, I just wanna say, I got this book and they, they say that... when you experience a spiritual truth, that it comes to you through sound." "If you let this sound go through you... they, it, it changes you, you know." "Puts you back into harmony." "you know, makes you like a, like a tuning tuning fork of God." "(Radio Host) Oh, okay." "(Stone ) Yeah." "They say, they say you can start with small things... little vibrations, you know... sound of a bee, sound of a buzzing light." "And then it grows." "(Radio Host) All right." "That's interesting." "Well, well, they, they say... that everything that happens to you... is what was supposed to happen to you for you to advance." "But you've gotta come back lots of times, you know, cycle through many lives." "(Radio Host) Well, thanks for your input." "Next up here on, uh, the" "WDDL Listener Line is..." "Cathy in Harmington Hills." "You're on All Voices Under God." "(Fly buzzing )"
