*Church*
Pastor: "Thus says the LORD to his anointed, Cyrus,
whose right hand I grasp,
subduing nations before him,
and making kings run in his service,
opening doors before him
and leaving the gates unbarred:
For the sake of Jacob, my servant,
of Israel, my chosen one,
I have called you by your name,
giving you a title, though you knew me not.
I am the LORD and there is no other,
there is no God besides me.
It is I who arm you, though you know me not,
so that toward the rising and the setting of the sun
people may know that there is none besides me.
I am the LORD, there is no other".

Zach: When it's time for another battle?
Arthur: What are you talking about?
Zach: I just read the Bible to make sure the Gods helped me and you too.
Arthur: For the body of Christ?
Zach: Exactly. You gotta learned to remember it next time. What am I gonna do? *standing next to the window*
Arthur: *follows Zach*
Zach: I mean, the Gods won't even help me that much. Even when I'm gonna take it away from the alcohol, I just don't wanna pretend to my dad.
Arthur: You're not a different person, man. I'm just truly to keep you going through your journey except staying home right after graduation. I know you were taking care of yourself.
Zach: *hearing*
Arthur: I'll keep my promise.
Jason: *chilling outside and looking at the phone and sees Mia next to him*
Mia: It seems like you have been calming down. I get it, you know what I'm about to say?
Jason: That's right.
Mia: *sighs* Whatever.
Jason: What's your favorite color?
Mia: Oh, now you talking. Black. The true color of mine.

Mia: Well, good luck in Georgia.
Jason: Don't mention it.
Arthur: *walks outside and sees them* Are you guys, OK?
Mia: We're fine.
Arthur: Also, we need help with Zach.
