Paradise Recovered

Mark:
So, what's her attraction to the store? Those people are always there.

Gabriel:
Well, the point on the ideological spectrum where far-left bohemians and right-wing fundamentalists meet is a health food store.

David Sawyer:
It seems that Phillip is coming home from Kingdom for the summer. Just need to clear some time on my schedule that day to pick him up.

Mrs. Sawyer:
Why?

David Sawyer:
Why am I picking him up or why is he coming home for the summer?

Mrs. Sawyer:
Is that your idea of a joke?

Gabriel:
So I guess you really need this job, huh?

Esther:
If it's God's will.

Gabriel:
Well, considering the shortage of applicants, um... this could be seen as divine intervention.

Mark:
Your dad called earlier.

Gabriel:
[without enthusiasm] Great.

Mark:
He and your mom wanna come up? Take us out to dinner? To a place where we don't have to look up to read the menu?

Esther:
So, do you live within God's standards and commandments?

Gabriel:
No. In fact, I try and see how many I can break in one go. It saves time.

Esther:
So, do you think that you deserve eternal reward or eternal punishment?

Gabriel:
You've never been on a date, have you?

Esther:
Well, God's people don't go around hungover.

Phillip Sawyer:
You really believe everything, don't you?

Gabriel:
"Where of one can not speak, there of one must be silent."

Esther:
Is that in the Bible?

Gabriel:
No, it's... Wittgenstein.

Esther:
That a friend of yours?

Gabriel:
You could say we're well acquainted, but he's dead.

Esther:
[sincerely] I'm so sorry for your loss.

Esther:
I'm Jezebel.

Gabriel:
Jezebel...

Esther:
Jezebel!

Gabriel:
Like the Bible story.

Esther:
Right.

Gabriel:
You've a wicked queen?

Gabriel:
[explaining his apology] Mmm, let's just say I was a little... judgmental.

Mark:
[sarcastic] Really? You, judging someone you date? That's so out of character for you.

Mark:
You remind me of your dad.

[Gabriel glares in return]

Mark:
It's not a BAD thing.

[Esther has been explaining her believes - which include the religious avoidence of foods coming from pigs such as hotdogs and, because of geletin, marshmellows - and her expections for the afterlife]

Esther:
There's paradise for Jesus and the elect, and a lake of fire for Satan and his demons to burn up in.

Gabriel:
Satan, demons, and... imbibers of certain confectioneries.

David Sawyer:
Now, Phillip, if you can find her, if she's willng to make things right, you can have her.

Mark:
Man, this is some heavy shi... nanigans

Mark:
Ew! I'm goin' to the big lake.

Gabriel:
Pack two bags.

Gabriel:
God kicked you out of His house. I say we stick it to the man.

Esther:
I've always wanted to see a movie, but I'm not allowed to.

Gabriel:
Who... wrote these standards?

Esther:
God. It's in the Bible.

Gabriel:
Truth is truth. If I turned my back on anything it was the culture of Christianity, not the truth of it.

Mark:
It's good to feel wicked. Want some company?

[Mark starts cleaning]

Gabriel:
Well, look at you.

Mark:
Esther doesn't like a big mess.

Gabriel:
I don't like messes. I've never liked messes. Where's MY love?

Mark:
You never made me pancakes, boyfriend.

David Sawyer:
Esther Harris has come forward this morning to confess her sins. She has broken standards too numerous to mention. She is without excuse. She will need to prove that she is once again worthy of her baptism. The Bible does teach us that there is grace for those who are willing to ask the Lord for forgiveness. That will be all, Miss Harris.
