0:00:22 > 0:00:24Children, experience tells me
0:00:24 > 0:00:27that some of you will forget the lessons I have taught.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29(No.)
0:00:29 > 0:00:35- This summer, take time to reflect on your past year in the second grade. - Yes!
0:00:35 > 0:00:38- And how you can make third grade better?- No!
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Mr O'Malley, do you disagree with me?
0:00:42 > 0:00:44No, Sister Leonora Mary, I agree.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50< Pete, boys come on, let's go.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57- Mom?- Yes, honey? - I told them to be ready by 9.20 but they just don't listen.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Another come back stomps.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Reg Jackson stinks.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- Boys!- We gotta get going. Mom's going to freak.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08- Get out here right now! - Well, what shall we tell her?
0:01:08 > 0:01:10You couldn't find your belt.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Hold on.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- Why aren't you going to church? - What are you, a detective?
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Why aren't you in the car?
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Killing me that I can't be with them at church,
0:01:22 > 0:01:27my most cherished moments have been with you kids at church -
0:01:27 > 0:01:28screaming brats.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- Why are you late? - He couldn't find his belt.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- Why are you late? - Seamus lost my belt.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- BABY CRIES - Hey.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45- OK how many are you?- Can't you guys make us late a little longer? You know how I hate being late for Mass.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Katie, your toys are everywhere.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50You know what? God gives you 168 hours a week,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53you think you'd give him one back, is that too much to ask?
0:01:53 > 0:01:56I've been out here for three hours.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Ah, shut up, you kiss ass.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- Come here, come here.- No.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05I'm not going to hit you, just tell you, you shouldn't talk like that.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06Oh! Ah!
0:02:14 > 0:02:19- Maybe the teddy bear'll shut her up. - I'll shut you up too you little jerk.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Growing up Irish Catholic,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28heaven and hell are talked about as if they're my next door neighbours
0:02:28 > 0:02:35and my Mom's job is to lovingly guide us toward the right path.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- Lord's name in vain, come here mister.- Ah!
0:02:37 > 0:02:43Don't you talk like that you little son of a bitch, we're on our way to church for Christ's sake.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46OK, all right honey.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Happy Sunday everybody(!) CHILD SCREAMS
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Get in there, you're going to confession.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Right here, right here.
0:03:46 > 0:03:51Unfortunately nobody knows the exact path to heaven.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56Mom says that's why we go to church, to pray to Jesus for answers
0:03:56 > 0:04:02but He just hangs there silently looking down at me, seeing everything.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06That can't be good.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11- Mom?- Yes, dear?- Is doing my chores enough to keep me out of hell?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13What'ya break?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Peter Edward O'Malley, look at me honey. What's going on?
0:04:18 > 0:04:22I think that Sister Leonora Mary thinks that I'm going to hell.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24And why do you think she thinks this?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Well, she sort of said it a lot this year.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Do something to prove to Sister Mary
0:04:30 > 0:04:33that you're going straight to heaven, do something good. Hello?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Hi, Jackie.- But what can I do to prove it to her?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Be yourself, obey the nuns and you'll be fine.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41You're a good boy. Hello?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43You know, if you can't say something good
0:04:43 > 0:04:46you don't say anything, but but she is kinda loose.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50What do you think of Sister Leonora Mary?
0:04:50 > 0:04:51Sister Big Bags!
0:04:51 > 0:04:55She's all right, way easier than Sister Gloria. Why?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58She keeps telling me I'm going to hell.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- She's good on hell. - How can I prove I'm not?
0:05:01 > 0:05:06- Don't worry, tomorrow's the last day of school.- Let's say I wanted to.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07How would I do that?
0:05:07 > 0:05:12Well, in religion class I did this report on St Paul, he's this guy
0:05:12 > 0:05:18that after Jesus died he kept going around trying to convert people to Christianity, he was on a quest.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Convert people that weren't Catholic?
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Yeah, there were a lot back then, like the Jewish people and the Romans.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Jewish people?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Converting Jewish people was major.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30The Romans, maybe even the Greeks.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Everyone.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- Did it work?- They made him a saint.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Do you think they might make me a saint?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Yeah, that'd keep you out of hell,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42but they already got a St Peter.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48See you at church and next year, in the third grade. You may go.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Mr O'Malley, may I speak to you for a moment?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Yes, Sister Leonora Mary?
0:06:02 > 0:06:06How many times have I had to pull you by your ears to the front and give you the ruler?
0:06:08 > 0:06:13- A lot.- Probably too many times, don't you think?
0:06:13 > 0:06:17I don't enjoy having to do that, you know.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19I think this is an important summer for you.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22This is the summer where you can choose
0:06:22 > 0:06:27to keep following the devil's way or create a new path towards Jesus.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Now, which path do you want to take?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31The Jesus path.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Good. I expect to see a difference in you next year.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Oh, you will Sister Leonora Mary, I've got a plan, a quest.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Good. You may go.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Enjoy your summer, I know you will.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Oh - do you know where I can find a temple?
0:06:56 > 0:06:57First game of the summer, Pete.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Come on Seamus, I'm starting my quest.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Hey, Kevin!
0:07:04 > 0:07:06So you're actually going to the temple?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Yeah.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12You know this whole thing's kinda weird, you going there, your quest.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Yeah!
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Well, at least you know it's weird.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21See ya!
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Keep up the good work, Jason.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26I will.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28You're gonna make your parents very proud.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31See you in a couple of days.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- How are you doing today? - I'm great, thanks.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Good.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47What's that thing that you have on top of your head?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Oh, it's called a yarmulke.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52It doesn't block the sun, does it?
0:07:52 > 0:07:57No, but it does block bald spots.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Woah, it can cover bald spots.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03My old uncle Jim could have used that.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07So you casing the joint for a heist?
0:08:07 > 0:08:09What?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13What can I do you for?
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- Jewish people go here, right?- Uh huh.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20I'm trying to see if I can help Jewish people get to heaven.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Oh, what a noble endeavour.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24A quest.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26A noble quest.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27How may I be of assistance?
0:08:27 > 0:08:31I just want to check out the temple but there's no bike rack.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36- Why don't you let me help you find a place for the bike and I'll show you around.- Thanks.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41That way, when you and the rest of the gang get together you'll know where the safe is.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43What gang and what safe?
0:08:43 > 0:08:44You know, for the heist.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53- No cross?- Er, no, no cross. - I find the cross fun to look at.
0:08:53 > 0:08:59Sometimes I think about climbing up the wall, unscrewing the screws and letting him go.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Mass goes faster that way.- Uh huh.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05You should really think about putting one in here.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08I will give that some thought.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13- So what do you think?- I'm thinking that this is where my quest starts.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18OK, well, if I can be of any assistance don't hesitate.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20My office is through those doors there.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24I'd show you around a bit more but I've got to get back to my family, I have a...
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- You have a family?- Yeah.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Well, what do they call you?
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Well, my son calls me Dad
0:09:34 > 0:09:37and my congregation calls me Rabbi.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- Rabbi Jacobsen.- Pete, Pete O'Malley.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Nice to meet you, Rabbi Jacobsen.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Nice to meet you, Pete O'Malley.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56Stop making up those stories, you're lying through your teeth.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Don't listen to him.
0:09:57 > 0:10:03- I was, "Hi, Julie" and she was, "Hi, Eddie".- She did not. - She said, "Hi Eddie."- Hey!
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Get your elbows off the table.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Hey, what's with your hair?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10All my friends have it.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- You are going to the barber college. - Can I have your attention?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- I've got something to say. - Well, I guess so.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20This better be good, Katie.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24- What's your story?- I pedalled my bike all the way to Carol's
0:10:24 > 0:10:26then I pedalled back and it was sunny.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28There you go. It was sunny.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- Speech therapy for this one.- Honey!
0:10:31 > 0:10:33That's great, make fun of her.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Does anyone know what a yarmulke is? - You mean a beanie?
0:10:36 > 0:10:40It's not a beanie, Pop, Jewish people wear them, Pete.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43It's religious, it's their traditional headwear.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47- It's like feathers for Indians. - Exactly.- Well, what's it for?
0:10:47 > 0:10:51- To hide their horns. - They have horns?
0:10:51 > 0:10:56Joseph! That's not right. Nobody repeats that out of this house, do you hear me?
0:10:56 > 0:10:57Who wants ice cream?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- I do. Chocolate please.- I need help. - Vanilla.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Oh, you're requesting flavours? You'll get what we have.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05I always do.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Your Uncle Charlie can get you an interview at the city planners' office.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Yeah, well, no, thanks.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- What about the Fire Department? - Forget it, that's always there for him.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- So what are you going to do? - What am I going to do?
0:11:21 > 0:11:25Well, I'm still waiting for those scholarships to come through.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28I'm life guarding, I'm making money and saving money.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Life guarding?!
0:11:30 > 0:11:34I've raised a professional life guarder in Chicago,
0:11:34 > 0:11:36works three months a year, right?
0:11:36 > 0:11:41If you could see Sheila Moran in a bathing suit you'd be a lifeguarder too, I promise.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45"Oh, Patrick, save me, help, save me, give me a little kiss on the cheek."
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Patrick, Frances Temo told me Sheila likes you,
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- you have to ask her out. - Don't let her old man catch you.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54No kidding.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Do we have to talk about my personal life every night?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00I think you like her, son.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- Come in.- Hey Rabbi Jacobsen, it's me, Pete O'Malley.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Oh, yes, Mr O'Malley. Have a seat, how are you?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15I'm great, thanks.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19I'm ready to start my quest but I thought I might need your permission.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Excellent idea, what are your plans?
0:12:21 > 0:12:25I was thinking of setting up this lemonade, free trip to heaven stand.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30Of course, the old lemonade, free trip to heaven stand.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Very enterprising.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Jewish people like lemonade?
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Oh, sure. I think Moses had the first set up on Mount Sinai.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Erm, I'm just setting it up at the front door.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43And I'm not going to charge.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Well, if you're not going to charge anything,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49people won't take you seriously. How about a nickel?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54All right, fine, don't charge anyone,
0:12:54 > 0:12:58- I'm sure that'll work.- I'll let you know how everything goes.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Appreciate it.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- Er, Pete?- Yeah?
0:13:02 > 0:13:07Jewish people do believe in heaven, just not the same way that Christians do.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Ours involves a little more waiting.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Maybe I could get those who don't want to wait.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15OK.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Here you go.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Thanks, see you later.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Ah, Mr O'Malley,
0:13:51 > 0:13:54just remember Rome wasn't built in a day.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56How do you make any money here?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58I'm free and I still have nobody.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02I envy your youth, you'll do better tomorrow.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08It's late today, so why don't I help you store your office?
0:14:08 > 0:14:12We'll put it right inside the synagogue door, for free of course.
0:14:12 > 0:14:19You know, you and I seem to be the only two on this block that care about free stuff.
0:14:19 > 0:14:24Well, that's because we realise what we have to offer you can't buy.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Either that or your lemonade stinks. Is that a possibility?
0:14:29 > 0:14:33- Don't tell Mom we charged candy at the pharmacy.- OK, I won't.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37- You want to play ball tomorrow? - No, I don't think I can.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40I'm going to the synagogue again.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44Door to door service, it's a lot to ask from a part-time secretary.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Rabbi Jacobsen, you've received six messages.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Yeah? Listen, whatever we're paying you it's not enough,
0:14:50 > 0:14:55not if you're going to insist on giving me kerbside service. What's this?!
0:14:55 > 0:15:01The congregation doesn't think this lemonade stand is a laughing matter, it's against Judaism.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04I'll tell you something about this congregation.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08They barely notice this synagogue is here unless it's the high holidays.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11All he's doing is asking people to think and you'll notice
0:15:11 > 0:15:15when you ask people to think, that's when they start complaining.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17He's advertising Christianity.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19No - he's advertising thought.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22He's asking people to have a free lemonade
0:15:22 > 0:15:26and gain insight about how to get into heaven. If that goes against people's wishes, so be it.
0:15:26 > 0:15:32You know what I wish? I wish there were 1,000 Petes setting up stands up and down the street.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34You like stirring things up.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Yeah, my generation, they're crazy.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Luckily your lovely wife is raising Daniel.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42That is a good thing, isn't it?
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Seamus, get down here.
0:15:59 > 0:16:04What are you doing out of the tub? Get back in there.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09I don't think this quest thing's gonna work.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11You're missing great baseball.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Mile Dewen says he'll trade me an Ernie Banks for a Pete Rose.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- Do it.- Trade for a cop?
0:16:18 > 0:16:21It's not about who you root for, it's a business.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Banks is going to be famous. Who knows about Pete Rose?
0:16:24 > 0:16:27There's the Rabbi I was telling you about.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30FIRE ENGINE SIRENS WAIL
0:16:31 > 0:16:33I wonder where the fire is.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Let's go.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- That's my house!- You can't go in there.- My son's in there!
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- Where's he at? Where's he at? - At the back, upstairs at the back.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58There's a woman too. Danny!
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Come on, let's go.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Danny! Danny!
0:17:01 > 0:17:04He's in the back, he's in the back.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14He's at the back, you've got to do something.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19They're gonna get him.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23They're going to get him.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26- Got the kid.
0:17:26 > 0:17:32It's all right. OK? You're all right.
0:17:32 > 0:17:37He's got him. Danny! Danny! He's all right, yeah?
0:17:37 > 0:17:38Get some oxygen!
0:17:38 > 0:17:42There's a woman inside, up there, same place, gotta be the same place.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46No, go back.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- No, it's too hot.- Let go of me. - Get your hands off.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59- You all right?- Yeah, yeah, fine.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00All right?
0:18:01 > 0:18:02We're going to get this.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- There's still a lady in there, guys. - No, it's too hot!
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- How's the kid doing? - He's good.- Yeah?
0:18:25 > 0:18:29- All right?- Dad, Dad!
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Seamus?
0:18:39 > 0:18:43I've told you not to chase fire engines, and you brought your little brother?
0:18:43 > 0:18:47How many times have I told you? Do you know what's going on here?
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Get your can home right now and stay there until I get back.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06I'm sorry, ma'am.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09The fire was huge, real big.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Uh huh.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13I wonder who that kid was.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21How many have I told you boys, huh?
0:19:21 > 0:19:24You don't chase fires, you run away from them.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30- You know a lady died in that fire today?- Who?
0:19:30 > 0:19:33An older lady who was babysitting the Rabbi's kid, she died.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42What were you doing in that neighbourhood anyway?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Huh?
0:19:44 > 0:19:47What? Couple of mutes?
0:19:47 > 0:19:51All right, fine. You're both grounded, you do not leave this block.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54If I found out either one of you left this block,
0:19:54 > 0:19:58you'll get a spanking you will still feel on your 16th birthday.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59But the baseball field!
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Hey, what are you doing up, huh?
0:20:23 > 0:20:24I couldn't sleep.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Dad, Seamus was only in the area because he was checking up on me.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40You see, I'm on my quest to meet a Jewish person and help them get to heaven.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42What are you talking about?
0:20:42 > 0:20:46I don't think Jewish people believe in heaven the way you and I do.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49I asked Mom and she said they could be converted through Jesus.
0:20:49 > 0:20:55Well, I also asked Father Kelly in religion class. He said it's the role of a good Christian.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- He said that?- Uh huh.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03- I've been going over to the synagogue on Greenwood.- You've been going over there?
0:21:03 > 0:21:07- I've been looking for Jewish people there.- Any Jews over there?
0:21:07 > 0:21:13Yeah, I met Rabbi Jacobsen, he's like a priest but not scary, he's really nice.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15How old are you?
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Eight and a half.
0:21:17 > 0:21:22You should be worrying about baseball and going to the pool and being asleep at night.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26That's all you should be worried about.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Don't go over to that synagogue any more.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Go to church, let Jewish people take care of themselves.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35- But I'm on my quest.- No, you're not.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39Don't try to change the world at eight and a half, all right?
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Hey, look at me.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Go to bed.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- Hey, Pete.- Yeah?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Good night.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Good night, Dad.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04You know, Joe, I can't raise these kids alone.
0:22:05 > 0:22:11I've gained too much weight to find a new husband at this point, so you're my option.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15You're more skinny than when we met and I sure as hell don't remember
0:22:15 > 0:22:18in no way, I liked it,
0:22:18 > 0:22:21I like something to hold on to.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26Well, then, go hold onto something honey, because sex is not a conversation.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Do you know Pete is going over to a synagogue trying to convert Jewish people?
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- Ha!- What? I'm not finding that as funny.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45Honey, a little boy searching for meaning in his life, whatever.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46- Meaning?- Uh huh.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51Baseball should be the only meaning in an eight year old's life.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Some kids are just destined for greater things.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55He's looking to get his ass kicked.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58I told him not to go there and don't you let him go either.
0:22:58 > 0:23:05Honey, I can't watch them all day long every one of them. Come on, Milly's a baby,
0:23:05 > 0:23:07she needs my constant attention.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11If Pete goes out in the morning, he comes back all clean,
0:23:11 > 0:23:14no-one calls to say he's been in trouble, I'm doing all right.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17That's parenting 101. He's claiming nobody says he's trouble.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20What have I got to do, raise the kids and work?
0:23:22 > 0:23:26Don't start, Joe, that is a territory you don't want to get into.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29- Hey.- Mmm?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Oh, no.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Hey, if we were to make a child,
0:23:35 > 0:23:41let's say we were to bring another child into the world right now,
0:23:41 > 0:23:46I promise you they'd be clean and he wouldn't be any trouble.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55Honey, you can't just climb on top of me, for goodness sake.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00- Hey, that's gin.- What?
0:24:00 > 0:24:04You should be a garbage man the way you pick up every card I throw down.
0:24:04 > 0:24:10Ah, let's see, 500 to 220, add what - a nickel a point?
0:24:10 > 0:24:13That's 14 books you owe me, Lieutenant O'Malley.
0:24:13 > 0:24:22- Hey.- Gentleman, my wife, son and I wanted to thank you for your bravery and kindness.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- Thank you.- Hey, you're welcome Rabbi - Joe O'Malley.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29On behalf of myself and the guys, we want to say sorry for your loss.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Thank you. Esther lived a very good life.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36She ran my synagogue like an army battalion.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40My wife believes the best way to thank someone is through their stomach
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- she's made some lasagne for all of you.- Ah!
0:24:42 > 0:24:47- It's real good.- I'll bet it is. She shouldn't have.
0:24:47 > 0:24:53My guys they love good meal, especially that one, but we're just doing our job.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Well, it's a heroic job you're doing.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01She wanted to thank you personally. I'm sure my synagogue's going to want to thank you formally.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Check this out, there's two guys that hold this thing to fire.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09In the Jewish tradition we said shivah,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11it's for the mourners of the deceased.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Yeah, we got something similar, it's called a wake.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Right, it's like a wake, sort of.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22I know you're busy but I mentioned it as I'd be honoured if you'd stop by
0:25:22 > 0:25:25and sit with my family and friends for a few minutes.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29Sure, you let me know where it is and I'll try and stop by, yeah.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33OK, now careful. Get that fire.
0:25:33 > 0:25:38Esther had one living relative, from out of town, so we'll do it at my in-laws' place.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41All right. You have to live with your in-laws?
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- Dad, check me out!- Here's trouble.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Good job, over there, over there.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51- We're done now. Uh oh! - Kids on fire trucks, huh?
0:25:51 > 0:25:56They certainly understand that life is for living. Do you have children?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- Oh, yeah, I got eight.- Eight?
0:25:59 > 0:26:01- Yeah.- You're a blessed man.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04I don't know, maybe cursed. Bit of work.
0:26:04 > 0:26:11A young, handsome redhead named Pete wouldn't be in the O'Malley clan of yours would he?
0:26:11 > 0:26:14You should know your bravery's been passed on.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16He's an earnest young man.
0:26:16 > 0:26:21I've found out he's been a nuisance over there at your temple and I've talked to him
0:26:21 > 0:26:25and reprimanded him, and believe me he's not going to be bothering you any more.
0:26:25 > 0:26:31- I respect your wishes. You should know, though, he's welcome at my temple any time.- Yeah?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Nice and short, the hair.
0:26:34 > 0:26:39I got to battle with my kids to keep their hair short, that's the way kids' hair should be.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42He's actually trying to grow his out.
0:26:42 > 0:26:48- He underwent chemotherapy about six months ago, leukaemia.- Leukaemia?
0:26:48 > 0:26:52Yeah, he's in remission, we're all very hopeful.
0:26:52 > 0:26:58God has a plan - albeit a mysterious one - for my family.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03So when you get the time, come on by and bring Pete.
0:27:03 > 0:27:08It would do everyone's spirits good to see a young man so full of life the way your son is.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Yeah, he's full of something!
0:27:14 > 0:27:20- Hey, getting the mail's my job. - It's your job?
0:27:20 > 0:27:21You want the mail?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26You want the mail?
0:27:26 > 0:27:28You want the mail? Huh? Huh?
0:27:28 > 0:27:31What are you looking for?
0:27:31 > 0:27:37Bills, bills, bills. Nothing but bills.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Come on.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Hey, I didn't say you could go, what are you doing?
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Peter, Seamus, now, let's go.
0:27:53 > 0:27:58- Get in here.- Honey, please can I be the yeller here?
0:27:58 > 0:28:00OK, is that everything?
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- Yes.- Nothing under your beds, nothing in the closet?
0:28:03 > 0:28:07- Didn't hide anything in your sister's room?- It's all in there.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11Nothing behind the doors? I'm washing everything.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12- No.- It's all in the sink?
0:28:12 > 0:28:14- What...- Nothing in your sister's room?- No.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- What time does the boy's game start? - Six, but it's a double header.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21- Uh huh.- Uncle Roger's coming, so's Billy and Robert Junior.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Yeah?
0:28:25 > 0:28:28- You finished your chores?- Yeah.
0:28:28 > 0:28:33All right. You and I are invited to a shivah at the Rabbi's.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Shivers?
0:28:35 > 0:28:38It's kinda like a wake, I told him we'd try and stop by.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41- How's he doing?- Well, I don't think he's too happy.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45The lady that died was his secretary for 40 years. I don't think he's too happy.
0:28:45 > 0:28:50He lost somebody he loves very much and I'm sure he'll be sad for a while.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53His boy was saved and that's the good side.
0:28:53 > 0:28:54Yep.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Anyway, what are you doing here, huh?
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Tell Rabbi Jacobsen I'm sorry.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01- Thank you Dad?- Thank you Dad. - There you go.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04- We'll go and then catch the second game.- OK.- You know what?
0:29:04 > 0:29:09The Rabbi's son is your age, so when you go, say to him how sorry you are, all right?
0:29:09 > 0:29:11- OK, I will Mom.- All right.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15He's probably Jewish, right?
0:29:15 > 0:29:17There's a high likelihood of that.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19I need you to wash up. Wear this. Put those on.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23Tuck the shirt in, wash your face.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26- OK.- Soap and water.- I will, Mom.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29OK. You do the same thing, go wash your face.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31I love it when you talk to me like I'm nine.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Who else do I talk to all day but nine...
0:29:33 > 0:29:36- Hey?- What?
0:29:36 > 0:29:37You wanna make out?
0:29:37 > 0:29:39With you?
0:29:39 > 0:29:45I don't wanna go to a Rabbi's or whatever this thing is.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Honey, you said you would and you're going to go.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52Yeah, I can't say no to him right there.
0:29:52 > 0:29:59Jeez, the guy loses the lady he's known all his life, his house is in ashes...
0:29:59 > 0:30:03and besides that, his kid's got leukaemia.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07- What?- Yeah.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10I mean, how am I going to say no to that?
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Well, you don't.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14It's that old electrical wiring.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23- Hey Mom.- Oh, hi, honey. - How you doing?
0:30:23 > 0:30:27Your dinner's warm, in the oven, use that towel, don't burn your hand.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Want something to drink with that?
0:30:30 > 0:30:32- Er, no, I'm all right.- Water?
0:30:32 > 0:30:35- No.- Hey, lifesaver?
0:30:35 > 0:30:38Your Mom says you've got something to tell me?
0:30:41 > 0:30:47I'm going to take a look at that job at the City Planners' Office.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52It's a good job, it's got nice benefits.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55I'll talk to Alderman McManus about it.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58What? What's that look?
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Don't even go there if you're going to go with that attitude, pal.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05The Alderman's doing us a favour, OK?
0:31:05 > 0:31:10Don't go there acting like a punk, a lot of kids your age don't have a chance like this.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13No, actually a lot of kids my age go to college.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16They're four years behind in the workforce and what have they learned?
0:31:16 > 0:31:20How to smoke pot and how to sleep all day.
0:31:20 > 0:31:26Do you understand that the good jobs require a college degree today?
0:31:26 > 0:31:32A city job is a good job and all it requires is a little hard work and the right attitude.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34That's my only choice then, the Irish way?
0:31:34 > 0:31:39I got to get a city job, work my ass off, have 40 kids?
0:31:39 > 0:31:44So I can retire on a crap pension and live in the same house I've lived my whole life?
0:31:44 > 0:31:48Hey, you lower your voice. That's our life you're talking about.
0:31:48 > 0:31:54You wanna be a hot shot doctor, have 1.2 kids and a big house in the suburbs
0:31:54 > 0:31:59with enough love to fill a closet so you can finally retire to Florida and die like a raisin?
0:31:59 > 0:32:02- Is that what you want? - Maybe, why can't I just do that?
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Then go ahead, be like the Jews.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10Have no more than two kids cos it's not economical to have more.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14Raise your kids to base their life on the size of their wallet.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Yeah, that's right Pop, yeah.
0:32:17 > 0:32:22Why in the world should I raise my kids to base their worth on the size of their wallet? That's crazy.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26- Should base it to see how much booze they can drink without puking, huh? - Joe!
0:32:28 > 0:32:31- Huh, huh?- Ungrateful, smart-mouthed punk.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36You got all the answers at 18, don't you?
0:32:36 > 0:32:39- Huh?- No, I don't.
0:32:39 > 0:32:45Maybe if I go work at the City Planners' Office I'll get them by the time I turn 40 like you. Huh?
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Let it go, Joe.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51- Get out of here right now. - I'm leaving.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Can you believe that kid?
0:33:06 > 0:33:09I'm Jeffrey Jacobsen, Rabbi Kenny's brother.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Joe O'Malley and my son, Pete.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14- Hi, hey Pete.- This is for you.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18I'll go put these in the kitchen. Thanks, Esther loved flowers.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20- OK, good.- Hey.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Hey, how you doing?
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- Good. Wanna check out the room I'm staying in?- Sure.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27- Can I?- Sure, yeah, go ahead.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28Can I get you something to drink?
0:33:28 > 0:33:30I'll have a scotch. You got it?
0:33:30 > 0:33:33I'll have to check to see if I have any scotch, if not?
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Oh, a beer'll be fine.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39I'll have to check to see if I have any beer, if not?
0:33:39 > 0:33:42- You know what? I'm fine.- You sure?
0:33:42 > 0:33:45No, I'm absolutely fine.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Ah, Mrs Jacobsen, how are you?
0:33:47 > 0:33:51- Thanks for being here. - I'm sorry about what happened.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54- Your son looks good. - Yeah, he does, doesn't he?
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Rabbi, how are you?
0:33:56 > 0:34:00- Good. Good to see you.- My pleasure to be here.- Appreciate it.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Well.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Can I get you anything?
0:34:06 > 0:34:09- Water would be fine, if you've got water.- OK.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Do you play on a team?
0:34:13 > 0:34:19No, I couldn't this year. I got leukaemia, it's cancer.
0:34:19 > 0:34:24I took this medicine that made me lose my hair but it's grown back.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Did it hurt?
0:34:26 > 0:34:28No, just fell out.
0:34:28 > 0:34:34I don't really feel it but it's been in remission for six months.
0:34:34 > 0:34:39- Remission?- Means it's still there but it's not really bothering me.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42I swear my hair wasn't this light before.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Was the fire scary?
0:34:48 > 0:34:50I don't know what happened.
0:34:50 > 0:34:55I was upstairs playing in my room and then I saw a lot of smoke,
0:34:55 > 0:34:58then your Dad came in and saved my life.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02It's nothing like the fire drills we do in school.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05Speaking of school, what grade are you in?
0:35:05 > 0:35:08I'm going into second over at Briarwood.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11I'm going into third over at Holy Cross.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15What's it like to be Jewish?
0:35:15 > 0:35:17I don't know, good.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19I'm Catholic.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21What's that like?
0:35:21 > 0:35:28- Noisier.- Things are usually noisier round here but it's been quieter cos of the shivah.
0:35:28 > 0:35:33You should have been at my uncle Jim's funeral, you would have thought it was a party.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37My Mom says everyone's sad because the person died
0:35:37 > 0:35:40but then again they're happy because he gets to go to heaven.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42Jewish people can't go to heaven.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- Why not?- Because they're Jewish.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48God doesn't let Jewish people into heaven
0:35:48 > 0:35:51but if you're interested, maybe I could help you get to heaven.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55- Yeah?- Yep, all I have to do is convert you.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57How do you do that?
0:35:57 > 0:36:02I don't know, I've never actually converted anyone before.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05So what can I do in heaven?
0:36:05 > 0:36:09Anything you want, they call it paradise.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Sounds good.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13So when can we start?
0:36:13 > 0:36:17- Meet me at your synagogue tomorrow. - All right.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19We got a rain delay?
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- Yeah, 15 minutes Joe.- Oh, yeah?
0:36:21 > 0:36:23All right, I'll stay here.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30So, Danny's a good kid, huh?
0:36:30 > 0:36:34Yeah, his hair fell out cos of the medicine but it's growing back.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39You didn't try saying anything to him about what we talked about?
0:36:39 > 0:36:42But Dad, Danny wants to do it also.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46What did I say?
0:36:46 > 0:36:51His family is Jewish, he's Jewish, they don't want to be Christian.
0:36:51 > 0:36:52But it's a quest.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55Your quest is called off, my friend.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59- I promised Danny, we're meeting at the synagogue tomorrow. - No, you're not!
0:37:01 > 0:37:04You don't go trying to convert Jewish kids
0:37:04 > 0:37:06and they don't try to convert us.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07But he wants to do it.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10I said no, and I don't want to hear another word from you!
0:37:10 > 0:37:15You do not go to that temple, you do not bother Danny or his family any more.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18So help me God if I find out you've been going over there.
0:37:18 > 0:37:23You'll get the spanking of a lifetime and be grounded until you're 16, do you understand?
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Yes, sir.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39Mr O'Malley, you lost?
0:37:39 > 0:37:45Hey, Father. I'm not lost, I just have more questions than answers.
0:37:57 > 0:38:02- Where are you going? - I'm going to check out what this place looks like from your seat.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04Well, that's my chair - don't break it.
0:38:06 > 0:38:11- Do you get the collection money? - No. Why, did someone tell you I did?
0:38:11 > 0:38:14No, but then how do you get paid?
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Don't you need to get home, Mr O'Malley?
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Your job is to help people get to heaven, right?
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Yes.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25But have you ever actually seen someone in heaven?
0:38:25 > 0:38:27No.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Well, then, how do you know if they made it to heaven?
0:38:33 > 0:38:38- Faith.- Faith?
0:38:38 > 0:38:43Yep, believing in something completely
0:38:43 > 0:38:45without actually having any proof of it.
0:38:45 > 0:38:51Faith - I don't have any proof of heaven but I have faith it exists.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53What's the best way to get to heaven?
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Believing in Jesus,
0:38:57 > 0:39:00living the way he taught us to live.
0:39:00 > 0:39:05Well, how do we know if we're doing that, is there some kind of test?
0:39:05 > 0:39:07Well, your life is the test.
0:39:07 > 0:39:13- So then you have to die to find out how you did on the test?- I guess so.
0:39:15 > 0:39:20Don't you just once want to know if one of the people you prayed for made it to heaven?
0:39:22 > 0:39:24In due time.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38What's the purpose of communion?
0:39:38 > 0:39:42To make a part of Jesus a part of us.
0:39:42 > 0:39:47Why do I have to wait till third grade? Wouldn't it help me now?
0:39:47 > 0:39:51The Church believes that Catholics should fulfil a few requirements
0:39:51 > 0:39:54before they earn the sacrament of communion.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58- Like passing a few tests?- Yes.
0:39:58 > 0:40:04So if I pass all the tests I can get communion?
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Yes.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10Thanks, Father, you've cleared up quite a few things for me.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20What are you doing?
0:40:20 > 0:40:26- Our quest has to be done in secret, our mission is now undercover.- Why?
0:40:26 > 0:40:27Just follow me.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36So this doesn't really look like it's undercover.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39Why are we undercover?
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Well, I, well, cos.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44So what's our mission?
0:40:44 > 0:40:45To get you to heaven.
0:40:45 > 0:40:50- Right, so how am I going to get to heaven?- I don't know.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52You gotta have some ideas?
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Well, we're going to have to set up some tests.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Have you taken any of these tests?
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Next year I have to complete First Communion training.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03What's communion?
0:41:03 > 0:41:06This piece of bread that's Jesus.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08And you eat it?
0:41:08 > 0:41:10- Yeah.- Gross.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14So I should do the First Communion training, shouldn't I?
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Well, I haven't done it yet so I don't know what it's like
0:41:17 > 0:41:22but we can make up some tests of our own.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Something like Bruce Jenner.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Win the decathlon, go to heaven.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28Yeah, something like that.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32Then we should have a medal ceremony. Got to have a medal.
0:41:32 > 0:41:38- Communion can be our medal.- Right.
0:41:38 > 0:41:39Hey, wait up!
0:41:46 > 0:41:50Did you know that my Mom and Dad don't want me here without them?
0:41:50 > 0:41:54Father Kelly at the Church, he always talks about this risk reward
0:41:54 > 0:41:58so you'll be OK if your parents find out.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02You'll just explain to them that the risk is worth the reward.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06Listen, I heard Bruce Jenner say
0:42:06 > 0:42:11that the key to winning the decathlon is to stay focused.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15You stay focused on the decathlon, forget about everything else
0:42:15 > 0:42:18and then, er, you can, er, get to the communion part of it.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21# In the summertime when the weather is hot
0:42:21 > 0:42:24# You can stretch right up and touch the sky
0:42:24 > 0:42:28# When the weather's fine you got women, you got women on your mind. #
0:42:30 > 0:42:33You see my sister, just start running.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35How do I know it's your sister?
0:42:35 > 0:42:39- I'll be running.- Right.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46You gotta watch where you're going! You OK?
0:42:48 > 0:42:52They seem to be starting younger and younger these days.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Come on.
0:42:58 > 0:43:03Listen, we have to get serious. Bruce Jenner is faster,
0:43:03 > 0:43:07stronger and can jump higher than anyone else I know.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10So I figure that that's how we should do the decathlon.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13- OK, I'm fast.- Well, first you have to be baptised.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22Amen!
0:43:22 > 0:43:25I think it would have been easier if you were a baby.
0:43:25 > 0:43:30On your marks, get set, go!
0:43:40 > 0:43:43- All right, good job.- Thanks.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45One, two, three,
0:43:45 > 0:43:47four, five.
0:43:52 > 0:43:54Try to throw it past that line.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01Whoa! That was a good throw.
0:44:02 > 0:44:04So what else can we do?
0:44:04 > 0:44:07Well, in the Olympics I've seen them do hurdles.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10Well, what can we hurdle?
0:44:13 > 0:44:15THEY LAUGH Go for it.
0:44:18 > 0:44:20Hey!
0:44:20 > 0:44:23- Come here, kid! - BOYS LAUGH
0:44:24 > 0:44:26Oh, shoot!
0:44:32 > 0:44:35Whoa! You really need the right rock to do this.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38You want the surface to be flat, like this.
0:44:38 > 0:44:41- Right.- My record's like five skips.
0:44:43 > 0:44:46OK, maybe that was a little too hard.
0:44:46 > 0:44:51- This one?- Yeah, you could try it.
0:44:51 > 0:44:52Might not work, but you could try it.
0:44:57 > 0:45:01That was a really good throw.
0:45:01 > 0:45:04I could beat it. I just need a really good rock.
0:45:06 > 0:45:08No, no, no.
0:45:12 > 0:45:14That's no good.
0:45:21 > 0:45:23Yeah, yeah.
0:45:23 > 0:45:28No wonder people die trying to get to heaven.
0:45:29 > 0:45:33- The last one's gotta be tough. - I don't know.
0:45:33 > 0:45:36- Because some of those were real tough.- Yeah, but the last one's
0:45:36 > 0:45:39gotta be really, really tough.
0:45:39 > 0:45:43Something that takes strength, speed and courage.
0:45:43 > 0:45:45I don't know.
0:45:45 > 0:45:49- Swim out to the buoy. - I can't even SEE the buoy.
0:45:51 > 0:45:53I can't get there.
0:45:53 > 0:45:57You're going to have to if you wanna win the decathlon.
0:46:06 > 0:46:07Go ahead.
0:46:38 > 0:46:40Help! I need help!
0:46:45 > 0:46:48You passed nine out of ten tests.
0:46:48 > 0:46:50God's gotta be happy with you.
0:46:50 > 0:46:54Yeah, but I don't know if I'm going to pass the last one. That's tough.
0:46:54 > 0:46:58I really wanna pass the decathlon. I wanna go to heaven.
0:47:04 > 0:47:06Do kids die from what you have?
0:47:06 > 0:47:11Well, I heard some adults whispering about it. Adults always get quiet when they talk about death.
0:47:11 > 0:47:15Sometimes I hear my parents talk about it late at night.
0:47:15 > 0:47:19Sometimes they start to cry. I don't want them to feel sad if I die.
0:47:20 > 0:47:25- Well, there's our little man. - Thanks for joining us.
0:47:29 > 0:47:33HE SPEAKS HEBREW
0:47:33 > 0:47:37- What are you doing? - Thanking God for the food.- Yeah,
0:47:37 > 0:47:41- but what was that you did as I began the prayer?- Oh, you mean this?
0:47:41 > 0:47:42Yeah.
0:47:42 > 0:47:46Well, it's like picking up a phone and calling God,
0:47:46 > 0:47:49I just wanted to make sure he was there to hear you.
0:47:49 > 0:47:51OK.
0:47:53 > 0:47:58You know this quest for heaven, it's a good thing, of course,
0:47:58 > 0:48:04but as Jewish people we have our own rituals and customs, different than Pete's.
0:48:04 > 0:48:09Yeah, I know, I taught Pete some of them but I like this one.
0:48:10 > 0:48:12I see.
0:48:12 > 0:48:14HE SPEAKS HEBREW
0:48:16 > 0:48:19But let's, er, let's maybe do this less,
0:48:19 > 0:48:20as in not at all.
0:48:20 > 0:48:23- OK.- Thanks.
0:48:31 > 0:48:33There you go.
0:48:33 > 0:48:37Probably wouldn't be good for business if the Rabbi's son converts to Christianity.
0:48:37 > 0:48:38I wouldn't think so.
0:48:42 > 0:48:46- Kenny, maybe this is going too far. - What would you have me do?
0:48:46 > 0:48:49Tell our son he can't play with Pete, would that make you happy?
0:48:49 > 0:48:54I think it's about you bending over backwards not to make waves with your son.
0:48:54 > 0:48:57Make waves.
0:48:57 > 0:48:59I thought we were going to let our children make choices,
0:48:59 > 0:49:02be different than our parents were with us.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04Leave my parents out of this.
0:49:04 > 0:49:06Was I alone when we talked about this?
0:49:06 > 0:49:11No, I don't think this is the time for our child to be making these choices.
0:49:11 > 0:49:15- Or maybe it's the best time.- Why?
0:49:15 > 0:49:18So Danny can cover all of his bases?
0:49:20 > 0:49:22It's not about covering bases.
0:49:23 > 0:49:26When was the last time our son went out?
0:49:26 > 0:49:29Enjoying himself, playing, like a boy,
0:49:29 > 0:49:32not like a sick boy just...a boy?
0:49:40 > 0:49:42- Good luck!- Thanks, I'll need it.
0:49:42 > 0:49:44Yeah, I know.
0:50:01 > 0:50:04Help, Pete! Help!
0:50:09 > 0:50:14I don't understand, you look like you're going to make it and then you don't.
0:50:15 > 0:50:17I don't know.
0:50:18 > 0:50:21But you make it back fine with me.
0:50:21 > 0:50:26- I know.- So then what's wrong?
0:50:26 > 0:50:30Well, I look up to see where the buoy is and I can't see it,
0:50:30 > 0:50:34and then I realise how far out I am and then, well...
0:50:34 > 0:50:38- What if I go with you? - Um, no, I gotta do it alone.
0:50:41 > 0:50:44- What if you don't look up? - But then I don't know where I am.
0:50:44 > 0:50:47Don't worry, we'll figure this out.
0:50:57 > 0:50:58I can see fine.
0:50:58 > 0:51:03I can see it from here but when I get in the water I can't see it
0:51:03 > 0:51:07and then everything starts getting really fast and I can't go any further.
0:51:16 > 0:51:20Stay right here and watch me swim to the buoy, I'll be right back.
0:51:41 > 0:51:4451, 52...
0:51:46 > 0:51:5153, 54, 55.
0:51:51 > 0:51:54Listen, all you have to do is count your strokes.
0:51:54 > 0:51:59It took me 50 strokes there and 55 strokes back. You don't even have to look up.
0:51:59 > 0:52:02Can you count to 50?
0:52:02 > 0:52:05- Yeah.- I'm a little bigger so it might take you
0:52:05 > 0:52:08- a few more strokes. Can you count to 60?- Yep.
0:52:08 > 0:52:11Well, then just count to 60 strokes and then swim back.
0:52:11 > 0:52:13OK, I can do that.
0:52:13 > 0:52:15But let's do it tomorrow.
0:52:15 > 0:52:18Meet me under the stairs at the synagogue.
0:52:18 > 0:52:20Right. Tomorrow.
0:52:20 > 0:52:23Tomorrow you complete the decathlon.
0:52:37 > 0:52:39Danny said I might find you here.
0:52:42 > 0:52:46Well, I don't know how he knew I would be here.
0:52:46 > 0:52:50He said to tell you he couldn't complete the decathlon today.
0:52:50 > 0:52:53Well, tell him I can meet him tomorrow.
0:52:53 > 0:52:58Yeah, tomorrow's not good either. He's got to see the doctor about his cancer.
0:53:07 > 0:53:09I think he's fine.
0:53:10 > 0:53:12I think so too.
0:53:15 > 0:53:19Are they going to give him any more of that medicine that makes him lose his hair?
0:53:20 > 0:53:22I don't know.
0:53:22 > 0:53:26- I'm not a doctor.- My oldest brother wants to become a doctor.
0:53:26 > 0:53:30Yeah? We could always use another good doctor.
0:53:30 > 0:53:33My Dad says they play too much golf.
0:53:33 > 0:53:38Tell me about your older brother - is he studying medicine in school?
0:53:38 > 0:53:41No, he can't afford it.
0:53:43 > 0:53:45Yes, it's very expensive.
0:53:45 > 0:53:48Certainly worth it though, if you work hard.
0:53:50 > 0:53:54Rabbi? When do you think Danny will be better?
0:53:58 > 0:54:00I think that one's in God's hands.
0:54:00 > 0:54:04Well, you're close to God. Hopefully that rubs off a little on Danny.
0:54:04 > 0:54:07I really hope he gets better soon.
0:54:07 > 0:54:10We've got some unfinished business to handle.
0:54:12 > 0:54:14I certainly hope you get to take care of that business,
0:54:14 > 0:54:19but now what Danny needs is our prayers.
0:54:19 > 0:54:26- OK, I'll pray to Jesus and you pray to God and hopefully one of the two will answer.- That's a deal.
0:54:27 > 0:54:30See you later, Rabbi Jacobsen.
0:54:34 > 0:54:35Oh, that was good!
0:54:35 > 0:54:41You know the Rabbi called and said he wanted us to stop by for dinner and I said it was OK.
0:54:41 > 0:54:46Ma'am, Jewish people go overboard with this gratitude stuff, don't they?
0:54:46 > 0:54:49Honey, it's nothing to do with him being Jewish - he's just saying thank you.
0:54:51 > 0:54:54- Where's Knucklehead? - Mom, where's this dish go?
0:54:54 > 0:54:58Oh! He called, he said he'd be late, he called, all right?
0:54:58 > 0:55:00At least he called.
0:55:00 > 0:55:05Probably sitting on his can in that lifeguard tower reading a book.
0:55:05 > 0:55:06Dirty book.
0:55:06 > 0:55:08KNOCK ON DOOR
0:55:08 > 0:55:09- Come in.- Don't yell.
0:55:09 > 0:55:13- What?- Oh, hi.- Hi, Rabbi Jacobsen.
0:55:13 > 0:55:15- Margaret O'Malley.- Nice to meet you.
0:55:15 > 0:55:17- Hey Rabbi, how are you? Good to see you.- I'm sorry.
0:55:17 > 0:55:20No, no, would you like something to eat? I can make you a plate.
0:55:20 > 0:55:23No, my wife thinks if I eat another woman's cooking it's a
0:55:23 > 0:55:29form of adultery. But I brought something for after the meal.
0:55:29 > 0:55:31Oh, alrighty. Would you like some coffee?
0:55:31 > 0:55:33That'd be great, that'd be great, yeah, thanks.
0:55:33 > 0:55:40- Sit.- OK. So how's your little boy? - Oh, he's good, thanks.
0:55:40 > 0:55:44We go tomorrow for the monthly check-up and hopefully it's six months remission.
0:55:44 > 0:55:46Oh, good, good, we hope so.
0:55:46 > 0:55:49Oh, thanks, thanks. Oh, great. Thank you very much.
0:55:49 > 0:55:51I'll just grab this.
0:55:51 > 0:55:55- So what's going on?- Oh, well, you probably remember I mentioned to you
0:55:55 > 0:55:58that the synagogue would like to formally thank you for your bravery.
0:55:58 > 0:56:00Oh, no, no, no.
0:56:00 > 0:56:04There's no need for that, I told you, we're just doing our job.
0:56:04 > 0:56:08I have a standing order not to disagree with a man under his own roof but
0:56:08 > 0:56:12you risked your life to save my son's life and if not for the
0:56:12 > 0:56:18explosion you would have rushed back in to get Esther against the wishes of your partners I should add.
0:56:18 > 0:56:21Oh, honey, excuse me Rabbi, this is our oldest boy, Patrick.
0:56:21 > 0:56:23Patrick, it's nice to meet you.
0:56:23 > 0:56:28- Yeah, it's nice to meet you, I heard about your loss, I'm very sorry.- Oh, thanks, yeah.
0:56:28 > 0:56:33I was just telling your father that, in fact you may want to join us if that's OK, Pete told me about
0:56:33 > 0:56:39your interest in studying medicine in college and our synagogue gives scholarships every year
0:56:39 > 0:56:42to a few students and this year in honour of Esther Simon,
0:56:42 > 0:56:45we are going to give a full scholarship to one student.
0:56:45 > 0:56:50I recommended to the board and they agreed that Patrick would be the recipient of the scholarship.
0:56:50 > 0:56:53Thank you, Rabbi, honey?
0:56:55 > 0:57:01Rabbi, that is an extremely kind offer but unfortunately one that we cannot accept.
0:57:07 > 0:57:08Oh, well, I...
0:57:08 > 0:57:15you helped my congregation and family, I certainly hope you can reconsider accepting it.
0:57:15 > 0:57:18Other men risked their lives that day at your house, not just me.
0:57:18 > 0:57:22Understood, it just seemed a bit more personal than offering up say a statue
0:57:22 > 0:57:27- to the entire fire department. I spoke to your Chief, he approved it. - You spoke to me Chief?
0:57:27 > 0:57:29I had to make sure it was within the rules.
0:57:29 > 0:57:30HE SIGHS
0:57:30 > 0:57:36The board gives one scholarship, Pete mentioned Patrick's desire, and I recommended Patrick.
0:57:36 > 0:57:39I imagine they wanna give it to him in a real public ceremony.
0:57:39 > 0:57:41I imagine so.
0:57:41 > 0:57:43Be good as a public show, yes.
0:57:43 > 0:57:47- Free publicity for the temple no doubt?- Joseph!- What?
0:57:47 > 0:57:49Well, that's totally inappropriate.
0:57:50 > 0:57:55Mr O'Malley both of our religions are practised in public and yes, there are ceremonies and rituals.
0:57:55 > 0:58:01Scholarship isn't about free publicity it's about doing good, honouring good, thanking good.
0:58:01 > 0:58:08- I don't mean to disrespect you or your family or dishonour the memory of Esther Simon.- Of course not.
0:58:08 > 0:58:14Rabbi, thank you for stopping over, my son Pete has a big mouth and my family doesn't need your hand-outs.
0:58:14 > 0:58:17- We thank you for kindness. - Pop, you can't do that to me.
0:58:17 > 0:58:19You will shut your mouth.
0:58:25 > 0:58:29Hey, where the heck to you get off coming into my house like that, huh?
0:58:29 > 0:58:32I got my son asking me, "Is Jesus really the son of God?"
0:58:32 > 0:58:35- He's eight.- Well, then it sounds like we're in this together.
0:58:35 > 0:58:39My son's asking why he can't make the sign of the cross before he prays to God.
0:58:39 > 0:58:43My congregation think I'm turning into a Rabbi for Jews for Jesus.
0:58:43 > 0:58:45The irony is that I don't think Jesus WAS the son of God.
0:58:45 > 0:58:49- You preach that to your people, keep it out of my house.- Your son came to me, OK?
0:58:49 > 0:58:55He came to me to ask if he could help Jews, help save Jews from going to hell. He came to me!
0:58:55 > 0:58:57Hey! You, get back inside.
0:59:01 > 0:59:06Someone comes to my house like that I politely throw him out on his ass, on his ass!
0:59:06 > 0:59:09I'll remember that - disagree with me, you're out on your ass,
0:59:09 > 0:59:13it's a good thing it didn't deter St Patrick in Ireland with the snakes.
0:59:13 > 0:59:17Oh, don't start with that, throwing St Patrick back in my face.
0:59:17 > 0:59:19This ain't a Bible study group, pal.
0:59:24 > 0:59:27Pop, are you too proud to let me accept it?
0:59:27 > 0:59:31First of all you haven't done anything to deserve it and secondly,
0:59:31 > 0:59:34I am not getting involved in his publicity stunt.
0:59:34 > 0:59:36I don't think it's a publicity stunt.
0:59:36 > 0:59:39I think it's an act of kindness in return for an act of kindness.
0:59:39 > 0:59:42I told you nothing good would come of him going over there. Pete!
0:59:42 > 0:59:44Get in here right now.
0:59:44 > 0:59:46Please don't start yelling at him.
0:59:46 > 0:59:50What did you tell the Rabbi, that we don't have enough food to eat?
0:59:50 > 0:59:53Maybe the Rabbi can start a food drive for this family, how about that?
0:59:53 > 0:59:57What did I tell you about not going into that temple, huh?
0:59:57 > 1:00:00I went across to get Danny to heaven and I'm almost there.
1:00:00 > 1:00:04You're on the road to hell, my friend. Now go to your room.
1:00:04 > 1:00:07- Joe.- And don't come out until I tell you to. What?
1:00:07 > 1:00:08Don't tell him things like that.
1:00:08 > 1:00:10I just wanted to do the right thing.
1:00:10 > 1:00:13The right thing. You know what the right thing is? It's when
1:00:13 > 1:00:16your mother tells you something or when I tell you something.
1:00:16 > 1:00:20You don't worry about Jews or Catholics, you worry about me.
1:00:20 > 1:00:23Now go to your room and go there until I tell you to come out!
1:00:33 > 1:00:37Pop, I'm going to go see that Rabbi myself and I'm going to work out a deal, OK?
1:00:37 > 1:00:40Over my dead body.
1:00:40 > 1:00:42This is not about you.
1:00:42 > 1:00:44It's not about kindness.
1:00:44 > 1:00:50It's about the Jews getting publicity for helping out some poor Irish Catholic family
1:00:50 > 1:00:55so they can get on the news and everybody can say how nice it is of them
1:00:55 > 1:00:58that they share their money with these poor slobs.
1:00:58 > 1:01:01Why do you have to be so cynical about this, huh?
1:01:02 > 1:01:06You have too much pride to let this man help me out, help your son out?
1:01:06 > 1:01:10- Maybe if you had a little more pride.- Pop, I've heard your speech before, OK.
1:01:10 > 1:01:16I know what it is. You worked hard, your father worked hard and therefore I have to work hard. OK.
1:01:16 > 1:01:18I want to work hard, Pop!
1:01:18 > 1:01:22I want to work hard at school to get a good job.
1:01:22 > 1:01:25Oi! I've had enough, right?
1:01:25 > 1:01:28I didn't spend my day at the beach, all right?
1:01:28 > 1:01:31I'm tired. I don't want to talk about this any more.
1:01:32 > 1:01:35- You have no idea...- What did I say?!
1:01:39 > 1:01:44Mom, please say something to him.
1:01:45 > 1:01:48Mom! Huh?
1:01:53 > 1:01:57- Why don't we go discuss this in private?- Just tell us.
1:02:00 > 1:02:07His white blood count is high and most of the cells I can see in his blood are leukaemia cells.
1:02:07 > 1:02:09I'm so sorry.
1:02:09 > 1:02:11What's the prognosis?
1:02:11 > 1:02:15Danny's been on Ara-C before, but this time we're giving him a much higher dosage.
1:02:15 > 1:02:21It's going to allow us to have a fighting chance to get him back into remission.
1:02:21 > 1:02:26But, I wouldn't be completely honest if I didn't tell you that his chances for survival are very low.
1:02:32 > 1:02:35Another strike out for Simpson's team.
1:02:35 > 1:02:39Pete's team trying to be the first team ever in the history of baseball to go undefeated
1:02:39 > 1:02:42comes to bat with a 13-run lead.
1:02:42 > 1:02:48Jack, they're not only undefeated, but they've ten-run ruled every single team they play.
1:02:48 > 1:02:49Good point, Charlie.
1:02:53 > 1:02:55What are you doing here?
1:02:55 > 1:02:57We have to complete the decathlon.
1:02:58 > 1:03:00We can't.
1:03:00 > 1:03:02We have to, I know I can do it.
1:03:02 > 1:03:05Listen, I'm grounded forever because of you.
1:03:05 > 1:03:08If my dad saw me with you, I'd be grounded to infinity.
1:03:08 > 1:03:12No, I'd be grounded to infinity if my parents knew I was here.
1:03:12 > 1:03:16- They think I'm napping. - Listen, I can't do it.
1:03:16 > 1:03:20No, YOU listen. This might be my last chance for a while.
1:03:20 > 1:03:23They might put me on Chemo right away.
1:03:23 > 1:03:25The tests are bad.
1:03:25 > 1:03:27I'm not going to disobey my dad again.
1:03:27 > 1:03:31I got to be able to tell my parents that I'm going to heaven.
1:03:31 > 1:03:35You can't go to heaven. It's out of bounds and off limits to Jews.
1:03:35 > 1:03:37There's nothing that you or I could do about it.
1:03:37 > 1:03:41You said that if I finished the decathlon, I'm going to heaven.
1:03:41 > 1:03:44Well, I was wrong.
1:03:44 > 1:03:48You've got to get out of here. I'm going to get in so much trouble because of you,
1:03:48 > 1:03:50and then I'm going to hell for sure.
1:03:50 > 1:03:51Get out of here.
1:04:00 > 1:04:02That was a brief rain delay.
1:04:02 > 1:04:05Pete's team comes to bat.
1:04:51 > 1:04:54Honey.
1:04:54 > 1:04:56I know what you're going to say and forget it.
1:04:56 > 1:04:58My decision about this is final.
1:04:58 > 1:04:59No, when Father Murphy married...
1:04:59 > 1:05:03Oh, don't start with that crap.
1:05:03 > 1:05:06- He said... - Father Murphy was an idiot.
1:05:06 > 1:05:08Can you stop talking for one second.
1:05:08 > 1:05:14I've just got something to say and I don't want you to interrupt me, OK?
1:05:14 > 1:05:17I'm not going to allow you to take away Patrick's chance.
1:05:17 > 1:05:19He's going to pursue this dream, Joe.
1:05:20 > 1:05:24Rabbi's being generous and I think that...
1:05:24 > 1:05:26you think it reflects poorly on you.
1:05:26 > 1:05:28No, no, no, no. It's not about that.
1:05:28 > 1:05:29- Honey, yes, it is.- It...
1:05:29 > 1:05:33You can't afford to send your kids to college so it's a bad thing.
1:05:33 > 1:05:38I'm not going to stand by and let you squash Patrick's dreams, it's just not going to happen.
1:05:38 > 1:05:41It's not about the dreams.
1:05:41 > 1:05:44- What's it about, Joe? - It's about what's right.
1:05:44 > 1:05:47Patrick knew that if he was going to go to college,
1:05:47 > 1:05:52he was going to earn it by getting good grades and earning a scholarship.
1:05:52 > 1:05:54- You wanted him to take school seriously?- Yeah.
1:05:54 > 1:05:56What are you talking about?
1:05:56 > 1:06:00Oh, he's just going to go get a city job, what difference does college make,
1:06:00 > 1:06:02but that wasn't good enough for him.
1:06:02 > 1:06:05He woke up one day and said I have to be better than that.
1:06:05 > 1:06:11You know, he's gotten straight A's ever since that day, because he's a chip off the old block,
1:06:11 > 1:06:14and he wants to do his best at whatever he does,
1:06:14 > 1:06:20and that's what he's going to do, and college, with the scholarship he accepts from Rabbi Jacobson.
1:06:20 > 1:06:23That's right, Joe.
1:06:23 > 1:06:28Or so help me God when you come home at night the only thing cooler than your food will be your bed.
1:06:37 > 1:06:40Is Patrick getting a new job?
1:06:40 > 1:06:42Always worried about everyone else's business.
1:06:42 > 1:06:44You get that from my side of the family.
1:06:44 > 1:06:47Yeah, Dad said I got a lot of things from your side of the family.
1:06:47 > 1:06:50Oh, he did did he? You know what he means?
1:06:50 > 1:06:53Your sweetness, your humour and definitely your nose.
1:06:56 > 1:07:00Mum, do you think Dad will end my grounding soon?
1:07:00 > 1:07:05Well, that depends. Are you truly sorry for disobeying him? Lying to me?
1:07:05 > 1:07:08Mum, I was on a quest, and on quests you have to take risks.
1:07:08 > 1:07:13You know that feeling you get in your heart, that little voice that talks to you?
1:07:13 > 1:07:15You know why that's there?
1:07:15 > 1:07:20Its because I can't always tell you what's right and what's wrong. That's your conscience.
1:07:22 > 1:07:25What does your conscience say to you about your quest?
1:07:25 > 1:07:30I think it says to do what you and Dad tell me to do.
1:07:30 > 1:07:33Well, that and, you know what?
1:07:33 > 1:07:35I believe your quest is good.
1:07:35 > 1:07:37But Dad said.
1:07:37 > 1:07:42Dad's don't always know everything all the time. Just sometimes.
1:07:42 > 1:07:45That's easy for you to say, he can't ground you!
1:07:47 > 1:07:50Well, don't give up your quest, honey.
1:07:57 > 1:07:58KNOCKING

1:08:00 > 1:08:01- Patrick!- Hi.
1:08:01 > 1:08:04- How you doing?- I'm all right. - Good, good. Where's your Dad?
1:08:05 > 1:08:07He had to go run some errands.
1:08:07 > 1:08:09He'll pick me up here in a few minutes.
1:08:09 > 1:08:12OK, all right. Er...
1:08:12 > 1:08:17Listen, since we spoke on the phone I've received a call from the hospital and I'm needed there.
1:08:17 > 1:08:19My wife...uh...called.
1:08:19 > 1:08:23Danny's got an infection from the chemotherapy
1:08:23 > 1:08:27so I don't have as much time to talk about this as I...we had planned.
1:08:28 > 1:08:30I, um...
1:08:30 > 1:08:32I hope everything's OK.
1:08:32 > 1:08:36Yeah, well, me too. I, er...I don't know.
1:08:36 > 1:08:38He's had infections before, you know.
1:08:38 > 1:08:40- I'm sorry.- Thanks.
1:08:40 > 1:08:45Regarding the scholarship, I hope you realise that this is going to open doors
1:08:45 > 1:08:49that would never possibly be available to you without a degree.
1:08:49 > 1:08:52Yeah, I know it will and, uh,
1:08:52 > 1:08:55if the offer is still there I would absolutely love a chance...
1:08:55 > 1:08:58Oh, no, no, Patrick, the scholarship is yours.
1:08:58 > 1:09:00Absolutely. You're going to make us all proud.
1:09:00 > 1:09:03- Thank you so much.- You're going to make Esther Simon proud.
1:09:03 > 1:09:05Wow.
1:09:05 > 1:09:10As I said, I just wish I had more time. We'll work out all the details at another time.
1:09:10 > 1:09:12Er...I will pray for Danny.
1:09:12 > 1:09:14Thank you.
1:09:14 > 1:09:16Thank you so much, Rabbi.
1:09:16 > 1:09:18Congratulations, Patrick.

1:12:14 > 1:12:17Oh, yeah, that's a nice idea.
1:12:17 > 1:12:22Yeah, good. Oh, and he also told Patrick to tell you that, um,
1:12:22 > 1:12:25Danny finished the decathlon.
1:12:25 > 1:12:2871 strokes there, 86 back.
1:12:28 > 1:12:31- No way!- Yes, way.
1:12:31 > 1:12:33I did it in 55 strokes.
1:12:33 > 1:12:38- Oh, you did, huh?- Yeah. But for his age and size 71 strokes is great!
1:12:38 > 1:12:40I mean he finished the decathlon!
1:12:40 > 1:12:43- I can give him his medal so he can go to heaven.- Yeah.
1:12:44 > 1:12:45Yeah. See you later Dad.
1:12:45 > 1:12:48All right, see you Pete.
1:13:15 > 1:13:17Mr O'Malley.
1:13:18 > 1:13:20Stealing Communion?
1:13:24 > 1:13:25Father Kelly.
1:13:26 > 1:13:28What are you doing?
1:13:28 > 1:13:30And don't tell me you're hungry.
1:13:30 > 1:13:33No, Father. I'm not hungry.
1:13:33 > 1:13:35I hear this stuff isn't good anyways.
1:13:35 > 1:13:37I wish we could change bread distributors,
1:13:37 > 1:13:40but that's neither here nor there. What are you doing Mr O'Malley?
1:13:42 > 1:13:45I've got a friend who really needs a piece of Jesus.
1:13:45 > 1:13:48He's really sick and he's in the hospital.
1:13:49 > 1:13:53We have people who give Communion to the sick in the hospital.
1:13:54 > 1:13:57But they can't give it to him.
1:13:57 > 1:14:01- Why not?- Because he's not Catholic and he's only seven.
1:14:01 > 1:14:04- Is your friend - what's his name? - Danny.- Danny.
1:14:04 > 1:14:08Well, that poses a bit of a problem, Mr O'Malley.
1:14:08 > 1:14:14Communion is for Christians who have earned the right to receive Jesus and who are of age.
1:14:14 > 1:14:16Oh, he's earned the right, he's passed all the tests.
1:14:16 > 1:14:18Tests?! What tests?
1:14:18 > 1:14:21The test we made up to see if he's worthy of Jesus.
1:14:21 > 1:14:25And he's worthy all right. He's as worthy as any Catholic I know.
1:14:25 > 1:14:28Well, I believe you, Mr O'Malley.
1:14:28 > 1:14:29But we're Catholics.
1:14:29 > 1:14:33- We...we have these traditions. - Just because he's not old enough!
1:14:33 > 1:14:39That tradition's not fair because he may not live long enough to be old enough, and if Jesus didn't want him
1:14:39 > 1:14:45to have a part of him just because he's not old enough, well, that doesn't seem like the Jesus I know.
1:14:49 > 1:14:55That bread, er, is unconsecrated. It's not the body of Christ.
1:14:55 > 1:14:56Its just bread.
1:14:56 > 1:14:58That doesn't matter.
1:14:58 > 1:15:00Jesus won't mind.
1:15:03 > 1:15:05Go ahead. Take the Host to your friend.
1:15:05 > 1:15:07Go on.
1:15:07 > 1:15:08Thanks, Father.
1:16:02 > 1:16:04EXHALES
1:16:09 > 1:16:11- Rabbi.- Pete.
1:16:11 > 1:16:13Rabbi, I need to see Danny.
1:16:14 > 1:16:16Rabbi, I need to see him.
1:16:16 > 1:16:18I've got his Communion right here.
1:16:18 > 1:16:20See, he earned it.
1:16:20 > 1:16:22- He passed the decathlon. - Listen to me, Pete.
1:16:25 > 1:16:27Danny's passed on, OK?
1:16:34 > 1:16:36No!
1:16:36 > 1:16:38No! He didn't get his medal.
1:16:39 > 1:16:40- No!- Pete.
1:16:40 > 1:16:42I promised him.
1:16:45 > 1:16:47I promised him.
1:16:52 > 1:16:54I promised him.
1:16:54 > 1:16:56I know, I know.
1:16:59 > 1:17:01He told me.
1:17:01 > 1:17:05The prize for finishing the decathlon was a piece of Jesus,
1:17:05 > 1:17:07so he could go to heaven.
1:17:07 > 1:17:11Danny told me to thank you for everything you did and to tell you he's going to see you.
1:17:11 > 1:17:14But he can't go without eating this, Rabbi.
1:17:14 > 1:17:15- (SOBS)- He can't go.
1:17:15 > 1:17:17(Oh, Pete.)
1:17:48 > 1:17:50INAUDIBLE
1:18:42 > 1:18:45- Hey, Pete.- Yeah.- Let's see that arm.
1:18:47 > 1:18:49- Good throw.- Thanks.
1:18:51 > 1:18:53What's going on, Pete?
1:18:53 > 1:18:54Nothing much.
1:18:56 > 1:18:59I think I hurt the Rabbi's feelings.
1:18:59 > 1:19:00How would you know that, smart guy?
1:19:00 > 1:19:04It was the other day at the hospital.
1:19:05 > 1:19:07I told him Danny wasn't in heaven.
1:19:17 > 1:19:21So your brother Patrick's going to college, huh?
1:19:21 > 1:19:23Yeah. He's so excited.
1:19:24 > 1:19:26I never went to college.
1:19:26 > 1:19:28Why not?
1:19:29 > 1:19:31Because I couldn't afford it.
1:19:31 > 1:19:34Got married, started a family, got a good job because I had to...
1:19:35 > 1:19:37..take care of my family.
1:19:37 > 1:19:38That sounds like a good reason.
1:19:38 > 1:19:40It is.
1:19:41 > 1:19:43- You know what I learned?- What?
1:19:43 > 1:19:45That you take care of your family.
1:19:48 > 1:19:51No matter what your differences are.
1:19:52 > 1:19:55A Dad's job is to take care of his family.
1:19:55 > 1:19:57That's what I learned.
1:20:00 > 1:20:05What I'm getting at, I'm just thinking aloud here, but if God is any kind of a father
1:20:05 > 1:20:10you think he would turn his back on his own family and not let them back into his House.
1:20:10 > 1:20:16No, of course he wouldn't, just like I wouldn't turn my back on you or your brothers or sisters.
1:20:16 > 1:20:22What I'm saying is maybe Danny is in heaven even though he's Jewish, all right.
1:20:22 > 1:20:27I mean an Eskimo at the North Pole never heard of Jesus, but if he's
1:20:27 > 1:20:30been a good person all his life shouldn't he be allowed into heaven?
1:20:30 > 1:20:34- Yeah, but...- But what?
1:20:34 > 1:20:38But then there's no reason for me to listen to the nuns at school any more.
1:20:40 > 1:20:42Listen, my friend, you're not going to get out of
1:20:42 > 1:20:46Catholic school that easily, you still got to listen to them.
1:20:46 > 1:20:47OK.
1:21:01 > 1:21:03Rabbi Jacobsen?
1:21:06 > 1:21:09Do you have a moment to talk?
1:21:09 > 1:21:10Sure.
1:21:12 > 1:21:15You know how I had my quest to help a Jewish person get to heaven?
1:21:15 > 1:21:16Oh, yes.
1:21:16 > 1:21:20I learned something on my quest that might help you on your quest.
1:21:20 > 1:21:23Really? What would that be?
1:21:24 > 1:21:30That just saying you believe, or just praying to Jesus, well that's not how you get to heaven.
1:21:30 > 1:21:32- No?- No.
1:21:32 > 1:21:35Jesus is only a symbol.
1:21:35 > 1:21:39It doesn't matter whose name you use, you could use anyone's name,
1:21:39 > 1:21:41just as long as their name symbolises being good.
1:21:43 > 1:21:45That IS interesting.
1:21:45 > 1:21:46I was thinking.
1:21:46 > 1:21:51If the Jewish people don't want to copy the Christians by praying to Jesus just because
1:21:51 > 1:21:54they don't like the name Jesus, well then they don't have to.
1:21:54 > 1:21:58I mean they can make up their own name to pray to.
1:21:58 > 1:22:02It's not that we don't like the name Jesus.
1:22:05 > 1:22:08What name would you suggest we pray to?
1:22:08 > 1:22:10Danny.
1:22:17 > 1:22:21I thought it might help you in your job, on your quest.
1:22:22 > 1:22:24Yeah, I think it probably will.
1:22:27 > 1:22:28Thanks.
1:22:29 > 1:22:32See you later Rabbi Jacobsen.
1:22:34 > 1:22:37Take care, Pete O'Malley.
1:22:37 > 1:22:41Oh, yeah, I almost forgot to tell you the most important thing.
1:22:41 > 1:22:43- What's that? - That Danny is in heaven.
1:22:45 > 1:22:46Yeah? How do you know?
1:22:48 > 1:22:49Faith.
1:22:57 > 1:22:58Right.
