Exactly what Pastor Kingsman said...
you take a... off the turnpike, six miles on...
- He doesn't know. - I didn't think so.
What's it called... the first road? Lime Road?
- Old Lime Road. - Rebecca, help your dad out here.
Rebecca.
I think we're lost.
- Sorry, Dad. - Okay. All right.
- I saw these before. - Saw what?
This. It all looks the same. I don't know.
If you took the right, left at the right...
- You can't even hit me back. - ... at the right barn.
Or was it the left, left at the right barn?
Do you remember when he took the wrong exit?
- Right? - We ended up going...
- No, no, that's not... - Twice.
- No, that's not true. - He did it twice.
- It was not properly marked. - He did it twice.
- It was not properly marked. - You circled twice.
Okay, ha-ha. Listen, this is...
that was the right barn.
I'm pretty sure that this was the right road.
Well, I mean,
it's not that I don't trust your keen sense of judgment, Captain,
but why don't we just stop and ask?
There's an idea.
Come on, ask, ask.
Ask, ask, ask, ask.
Ask, ask ask.
I'm gonna go in here and check it out.
- I listen to my family. - Wrong turn.
Is there... is there... is there a fellow there?
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
That's enough.
Whew!
Hallelujah!
All right, there is a word I like to hear.
Let's be saying it when we find out where we are.
Oh, that's nice. Isn't that pretty?
For the tenth time that we've seen it today.
I know.
Sorry, Dan.
I'll go up and check.
- Okay, Christopher. - Take the boy.
- Let's go. - Dad.
See you in a minute.
Good luck.
Something tells me this town won't have a mall.
A mall?
Come on, I'll settle for indoor bathrooms.
Hello?
Hello! Anyone here?
Hello!
Excuse me. You folks looking for something?
Sorry. Yeah, we saw your farm here and...
You lost or something?
Well, to be honest, I think we may be a little lost.
There's a gas station a couple miles back the way you came.
You can get a map from them.
Okay. I was just... I was just looking for a town called Stull.
I think we took a wrong turn a mile or so back.
So we'll get out of your hair. Sorry for having bothered you.
You wouldn't be the new pastor, would you?
Well, actually, yes. How did you know that?
Well, Pastor Kingsman asked me to keep an eye out for you,
make sure you're okay.
I'm just so glad that you made it, Pastor.
I was starting to get a little worried.
Your moving truck passed by a couple of hours ago.
Oh, that's good to hear.
I know my wife will certainly be happy to hear that.
Are we far from town?
Oh, no, no, not at all, just a couple of miles or so.
I'm Pastor Dan Bramford. Nice to meet you.
This is my son Christopher. Christopher.
Oh, got a good QT“) on you, boy .
Yeah.
I'm... I'm Mason.
Nice to meet you.
I'll just...
I'll just bring my truck around. You can follow me.
Okay, that's great.
I told you we weren't lost.
Hey! Honey!
Welcome to Stull!
Oh, no. You gotta be kidding me.
Give me five. I got you here.
You did it.
I hate to say I told you so.
- All right. - He's gonna come by with the truck
and pick us up, show us into town.
Oh, my God, what the hell is that guy doing?
I don't know.
Oh. Oh, yuck.
Well, that is just not appropriate for you to see.
- Eww. - You, too.
- In the car. In the car. - Come on, guys.
- Are you folks ready? - Yeah, we are.
I'll just drive right up there and wait for you.
Thank you, Mason.
All right, kids just got their first taste of the country.
We won't need these anymore.
It's not as small as you thought it was, Rebecca.
- This is Main Street? - What's that?
- Ice cream? - Look.
Christopher wants to go there.
- Is that us? - I think.
- Is that us right there? - This is...
- Is that it? Oh! - Are you kidding me?
- That's it. - Oh.
- Can you believe it? - Ma'am, I'm sorry
I didn't get a chance to meet you back at the farm, but I'm Mason.
Oh, I'm Wendy.
- This is gorgeous. - Oh my goodness.
I'm glad you like it.
I'm just glad I showed you where it was.
Oh, my.
Can you... what's... it's amazing.
Um, hi. Hi.
Excuse me.
Be careful.
Becky... uh, Rebecca.
It's okay, Dad. You can still call me Becky.
It's... it's really nice.
Yeah.
Big change.
I know that you are gonna make the most of it.
Excuse me. Hi. Thank you.
I gotta go help your mom.
I... I'm sorry. Can you help me?
I'm so confused. Where are the movers and...
Let me help you.
I don't know what's going on.
Did the movers just leave everything on the ground?
No, no, no, they were nice fellows. We just figured
you didn't want any strangers traipsing through your house.
Some fellows from church came by to help.
- Pastor Kingsman. - Oh, Pastor Bramford.
- How are you? - Good. Good.
I thought you were a mover. I'm so sorry.
Well, today I'm a mover. Who knows what I'll be tomorrow?
I know I speak for everybody when I say we're awfully glad you're here.
- Thank you. - Well, I think six states,
three children, countless rest stops...
- I think no one's happier than we are. - I expect that's true.
- Here, Dan. - Sure.
- Fragile. - Yeah, should we?
- Dining room? - Dining room, gents.
- All right, let's go. - You be the captain out there.
Captain, I know. Thank you.
Oh, yeah. Excuse me, I think that goes into the living room.
Thank you. Hi, sweetheart.
- Hi. - Can you believe it?
Um, kitchen. Thank you.
Okay
- Can you believe it? - This place is so nice.
- This place is huge. - I know, right?
- Mom, can I pick out my room? - Well, yes, after your sisters,
'cause they're older than you, so they get first choice.
- First choice? - First choice.
- Second choice. - Hey, girls, Christopher,
please say hello to Pastor Kingsman.
The man responsible for all of this.
Oh, well, I wouldn't say I'm responsible.
I think a higher power called you to our little town.
Well, certainly. Thank you.
It's nice to meet you, girls.
- Nice to meet you. - Go. Get up there.
- Stop pushing me. - I'll help.
Stop.
- I like the window in here. - This room is cool.
I saw it first. I call dibs.
You heard what Mom said.
I'm older than you. I get first dibs, kiddo.
Second dibs.
Second's better than the third, you weirdo.
What? You didn't get the crappy third one.
Damn it. Let me guess.
Yep. Mine.
Mom!
Oh, thank you so much.
This is incredible. Everybody's so... so sweet.
- And this kitchen is amazing. - Well, I'm glad you like it.
I'm not much of a cook myself, so I have to take your word for it.
- That's not your handiwork? - Oh, no, no, no.
- That's... that's Mrs. Gordon's. - Oh.
She... she's pretty famous for her cakes around here.
- Looks delicious. - They're good.
Yeah, melt your tongue right off.
So, Dan,
what do you say we rip the Band-Aid right off
and get you up on that pulpit tomorrow?
- Oh. Oh. Oh. - Oh my goodness, Dan.
- I'm not sure that I'm ready. - I know it's quick,
but folks are anxious to meet their new pastor.
Well, you know, he's got big shoes to fill.
- I'm sure they're gonna miss you a lot. - No, no, no.
I've been here a number of years. They're about ready to see me move on.
- No. - I'm looking forward to retirement.
