1:18:04
- "Father?"
- "Wait, I remember you."
1:18:07
You're the beeper man. You walked
out on my sermon about Thomas.
1:18:12
- You remember that?
- Yeah.
1:18:14
Comedians and priests,
we never forget a walkout.
1:18:18
While I'm here, out of curiosity,
1:18:20
how did that sermon
on Doubting Thomas end?
1:18:22
Well, you know,
Thomas found his belief again.
1:18:26
Then, according to the version
I like,
1:18:28
Thomas became a wealthy architect.
He moves to India,
1:18:31
he meets this king,
who gives him a ton of cash and says,
1:18:35
"Build me a grand palace."
1:18:38
That's it? The end?
1:18:39
He spent every rupee of
the king's fortune feeding the poor.
1:18:43
- When the king found out...
- He killed him. Sent his goons in.
1:18:47
No. Thomas told him,
"Instead of a palace on Earth,
1:18:50
I've built you a palace in heaven."
1:18:52
And then he killed him.
I got it. Thank you.
1:18:55
Can you hold this, please?
1:18:58
Well, look, the king let Thomas go
1:19:02
and Thomas spent the rest of his
happy life sacrificing for others.
1:19:07
- So Thomas conned the king, right?
- No.
1:19:11
No, the king was not conned.
1:19:14
The king had faith. He believed.
1:19:16
See, that's where I get confused.
1:19:19
That's good. Confusion is good.
Faith isn't arrived at easily.
1:19:23
It's the struggle that gives it
its power and its meaning.
1:19:27
You still struggling?
1:19:29
Every day. Yeah.
1:19:31
When times are particularly trying,
1:19:35
I try to act as if everything is as
it should be, the way God intends it.
1:19:40
And then, eventually,
I get my faith back.
1:19:44
What if you never had it
to begin with?
1:19:47
That's a big one, isn't it?
1:19:56
I can't believe I'm doing this.
My name is Rebecca.
