:22:02
Sure, Blaine.
:22:03
You're a great kid.
:22:04
Did I ever tell you
about Eric?

:22:07
Yeah.
:22:08
His mother was standing
:22:10
on the steps
of the abortuary

:22:14
about to go in
and kill her baby.

:22:19
And she heard a Christian voice,
and that voice said,

:22:22
"You don't have to go
in there.

:22:25
"God loves you.
:22:28
God loves your baby."
:22:31
So she stopped, with tears
in her eyes, and she said,

:22:35
"I'm an unmarried woman.
:22:37
"I cannot afford the expenses
of having a child.

:22:40
"No one cared enough
:22:44
"to give me the strength
to accept this baby.

:22:49
No one but this one
Christian man."

:22:52
And that Christian man...
was me.

:22:56
Ha ha ha!
:22:57
Years later, at a rally,
:23:00
I saw the young lady again.
:23:04
And I said to her,
:23:07
"What's
this young man's name?"

:23:09
And she said,
"This is Eric."

:23:14
And that was the proudest day
of my life.

:23:24
Hey, Harlan.
:23:27
Hey.
:23:33
Thanks for that money.
:23:35
No problem.
:23:39
Are you married, Harlan?
:23:41
No, but I got a couple
of ex's on the payroll.

:23:46
You got a girlfriend?
:23:51
What?
:23:53
Are you comin' on to me?
:23:55
Because if you're coming
on to me,

:23:58
you can just forget it.
:23:59
I'm not comin' on to you.
