God's Not Dead 2

Oh, I'm running late, Oh.

Brooke, we're all upset, but we need to move on.

Honey, you're a junior now.

It's your make-or-break year,

so there's no room for self pity.

Can you give Marlene and I a ride to school today?

I'm sorry, honey, I don't have time.

I have an 8:30 with Marc Shelley at White & Wolfe.

What?! Richard, you didn't say anything!

How did you get the meeting?

It's just a meeting, so don't get too excited.

But it could be huge.

I know!

Who's going to the meeting with you?

Hey, I got the meeting.

I know, I just think maybe you should take Melinda or Janice.

Janice? You want me to take Janice?

- Yeah, why not? - I'm not taking Janice.

- Rough morning? - You know my parents.

Maybe they just need a little more time.

I don't know about that.

I'd say they're pretty over it.

My mom's making tacos tonight.

I'll let her know you're coming.

It's not like they'll miss me.

Brooke, I'm serious, honey.

You need to get focused or you could say,

"Good-bye Stanford, hello Somewhere State."

Got it.

Yikes.

Good morning!

Morning, Grace.

I keep telling you, you don't have to keep doing this.

Are you kidding?

This is the best part of my day, Gramps.

Pills first.

You're a good girl.

Ah, honey, you know I'm not gonna be around here forever,

and you might wanna start thinking about some other guy

you wanna have breakfast with.

I'll work on that.

Okay.

You know, I love the way you do the oatmeal,

but what do you say

I take you out for bacon and eggs this morning, my treat.

Not after your last cholesterol test.

Besides, I have some papers I have to grade

before the staff meeting.

I'm 81 years old,

and bacon is not gonna be what kills me.

Nice try, you're 82.

Yeah.

Good morning.

Have a nice day.

Morning, ladies.

Morning.

Good morning.

Hey, what do you call a teacher with no students?

Unemployed.

I got it, how about ecstatic?

You're both right. Retired!

Only 36 days to go!

You know you're gonna miss the kids

when you're gone, Rizzo.

No, Grace. That's sweet, but no, I won't.

The older I get,

the more difficult these kids are to deal with.

I totally agree.

Yesterday, I just about snatched at Tim Webster.

That boy had me on my last nerve.

Well, I happen to think that difficult students

can be a blessing.

Grace, honey, when is this optimism ever gonna wear off?

Bill. Bill.

Bill.

Junk mail.

Oh, man!

David, why are you always so sad?

Hey! You're back!

Why are you back?

My pastor gave me permission

to finish my doctorate at Hadleigh,

so if that's okay with you, I'm gonna be here for awhile.

Oh, David, you are a mess.

What happened to you?

I woke up.

Okay, for 500 points,

for all the cheese, for the game.

This quote is from what document?

"We hold these truths to be self-evident,

"that all men are created equal,

"that they are endowed by their Creator

with certain unalienable rights, that among these..."

Boom, baby!

All right, Team 1, what's your answer?

Our answer is the Declaration of Independence.

That's... correct!

Team 1 wins!

Yes!

Okay, you guys,

Monday we will examine the assertion of individual rights

through the last century.

Have a good weekend.

Brooke, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Are you sure?

Yeah, thanks.

Ms. Ryan?

I lied.

Are you sure you're being fair?

Trust me, they're over it,

and they expect me to be over it, too.

It's like to them, he never even existed.

The only thing that I know for sure

is that I'm never going to see my brother again.

Everybody's asked if there's anything that they can do.

The truth is, no one can do anything

because the only thing that I really want

is 5 more minutes to tell my brother

how I really felt about him.

Did your brother believe there was something more?

I don't know.

Do you?

Brooke, every person reaches a point in their life

when they ask themselves this question.

There's nothing wrong with you asking it, too.

You never let anything get to you.

How do you do that?

Jesus.

Hello?

How'd it go, Amy?

Michael.

It's gone.

My cancer's... it's gone.

Oh, my goodness!

That's incredible!

I know. I just... I can't believe it.

Isn't that what you prayed for?

Yes, of course. I just...

Prayer is a powerful thing,

and it turns out God has much bigger plans for you.

You okay, Grace?

Yeah, I just can't stop thinking about Brooke.

You know, she's searching.

She's hurting.

Yeah, that's the thing about atheism.

It doesn't take away the pain; it just takes away the hope.

What'd you tell her?

The truth.

Now she's free to make her own choice.

Unfortunately, in this day and age,

people seem to forget that the most basic human right of all

is a right to know Jesus.

Let's put her on the prayer list.

Prayer always seems to be the last thing we do,

when it should be the first.

Now, how 'bout some more popcorn?

With a glycemic index of 100, not a chance.

I swear, Grace, if you don't start feeding me better,

I'm gonna leave you for a nursing home.

Well, that's it for me.

I'm going to bed.

Love ya.

I love you better.

Love you first.

That's unfair.

Gotcha!

Brooke, the people from that charity place are here

to pick up your brother's things.

Can you make sure they get everything?

And don't forget to put the milk away!

Well, that's the last of it. - Thank you.

And, well, I was loading one of the boxes onto the truck,
