So, what do you say this Saturday,
the two of us go to a movie?
668
00:37:17,946 --> 00:37:21,233
We haven't been to a movie
without the rest of the family in ages.

I'm Ruthie Camden,
daughter of the Reverend Camden.
676
00:37:49,269 --> 00:37:52,057
MAN: Hey, Ruthie, good to see you.
- Where's your father, Ruthie?
677
00:37:52,231 --> 00:37:54,438
He's at home
and he doesn't know I'm here.
678
00:37:54,608 --> 00:37:56,602
And I risk being punished
to tell all of you
679
00:37:56,777 --> 00:38:00,776
that my dad really needs that raise
so he can buy a new car.
680
00:38:00,948 --> 00:38:03,072
And I think you should change
your minds.
681
00:38:06,370 --> 00:38:08,944
Do you know all the things
my father does?
682
00:38:09,122 --> 00:38:13,038
He helps kids who are in trouble,
and people without jobs or houses,
683
00:38:13,210 --> 00:38:16,544
and when something
really bad happens, he's there.
684
00:38:16,713 --> 00:38:19,087
And do you know why?
Because my father cares.
685
00:38:19,675 --> 00:38:23,543
But don't worry, he'll keep caring
whether he gets his raise or not.
686
00:38:23,720 --> 00:38:25,679
I'm just hoping
you'll change your minds.

That's about all I have to say.
688

Ruthie, doesn't your daddy have
a new red convertible?

Is Ruthie up there? I can't find her.
I'm worried.
693

Earlier she said
that her bike had a flat.
694
00:38:48,829 --> 00:38:51,451
She wanted to put air in the tyre.
She's probably in the garage.
695
00:38:51,623 --> 00:38:54,293
I'll check. While she's doing that,
I'm going down to the church.

00:38:55,210 --> 00:38:58,912
Yeah. I have to do something.
Not giving us a raise, it just isn't right.

Okay.

Don't worry, Eric,
you don't need to come to the church,

Ruthie already did that.
And on the issue of your raise,

Ruthie put her foot down.
701

As a matter of fact,
she put both feet down.

I rode my bike to the church.
703
00:39:13,437 --> 00:39:16,640

right into the board meeting, in fact.

The entire board saw you riding in
that new red convertible, Eric.

00:39:24,489 --> 00:39:28,275
And the other day when I was here,
some guys delivered some fixtures.
707
00:39:29,453 --> 00:39:31,909
We thought if you had the money
to get that kind of car
708
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,415
and to remodel the house,
chances are you didn't need the raise.

manages the household budget.

Ruthie explained everything.

And, of course, we will give you
your annual raise.

if we gave you an impression

that Ruthie picked out for you

is a superb idea. A good example
for the entire community.
