New Hope

Michael Evans:
[narrating] That's my dad.

Alex Evans:
Hey, Mike, you and Faith better hurry up. You're gonna be late.

Michael Evans:
[narrating] He's a pastor, which means... well, it means all kind of things, but right now it means that we're new to town.

Michael Evans:
No offense, Coach, but I just... I really don't think this is gonna work out.

Coach Miller:
Whoa. Hold on a second. This team needs you.

Michael Evans:
Needs me? I think my dad has mislead you about my basketball skills.

Coach Miller:
Mike, don't take this the wrong way, but when your dad came to me about you joining the team, it wasn't your basketball skills that interested me. These guys need a positive role model, someone their own age.

Michael Evans:
[narrating] And that's the biggest problem with being a preacher's kid.

Coach Miller:
Hey, I'm gonna go check on Luke.

Michael Evans:
[narrating] It holds us to a different standard, like we have all the answers.

John Green:
This is a normal day for her - crying, guilt, despair, blaming herself, and blaming me. How long does this have to go on?

Faith Evans:
One day you'll realize the contributions I can make to the parenting discussions.

Alex Evans:
Hey, I'm a preacher. This God-stuff's all I know.

Jasmine Stone:
Sure you have time?

Michael Evans:
Hey, I'm a cheetah.

Alex Evans:
Well, have you done anything to MAKE him hate you?

Michael Evans:
Uh, breathe?

Jasmine Stone:
Have you ever seen anything this beautiful?

Michael Evans:
You taking about the stars, the fireworks or about you?

Jasmine Stone:
Good answer, but in this case I'm talking about the stars.

Lucas Green:
Whadda you think would happen... one of us fell off the roof?

Alex Evans:
I wonder if there's somethin' we could do to help? I mean, the church and all.

Coach Miller:
Yeah. Yeah, that sounds like a great idea.

Alex Evans:
The honest truth is God loves us.

Sally Green:
Well, excuse me if I'm not feelin' the love.

Alex Evans:
Understandable.

Lucas Green:
What're you doin', Mike? Come on! Snap out of it! All right. Is there some kind of a verse or somethin' you Christians use in situations like this?

Michael Evans:
What?

Lucas Green:
This Christian stuff - is it real to you or what?

Michael Evans:
Well, yeah.

Lucas Green:
All right, well, then give me SOMETHING', Mike. There's gotta be SOMETHIN'.

Michael Evans:
"I can do all things through him who strengthens me."

Lucas Green:
That's good. Come on, USE that, man. Come on, you're better than this. Snap out of it!

Michael Evans:
Uh, that's the cool thing about bein' a preacher's son - you can pull out the grace and forgiveness card like THAT!

Jasmine Stone:
So, were you nervous?

Michael Evans:
I was scared to death. Oh, my gosh. Like, talking to your parents about sex is not easy.

Jasmine Stone:
Actually, I was talkin' about the basketball game and the big free-throws.

Michael Evans:
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Then, too, for sure.

Michael Evans:
NOT GIVIN' UP ON YOU!
