- My name is Alexandra Park,

but my friends just call me Alex.

That's me, working hard, searching for my self-worth.

A single brownie or piece of wedding cake

will go straight to my thighs

if I don't work it off in advance.

I do love wedding cake,

mind you, not my own wedding cake

because my choices in life seem to have ruled out

the happily ever after love story thing.

It's only in fairytales, right ladies?

Well, before you start feeling too sorry for me,

it isn't like I live a totally loveless life,

in fact, you could even say I would win

Mother of the Year award.

Not because of my own kids,

but because of my life's passion at my activity center.

I work with kids.

I love them with all my heart and soul,

and in return, they love me back.

They give my life a sense of significance.

I'll be honest, things haven't been easy lately,

but no matter how bad things get,

when I look at their faces

and I see the hope in their eyes, who knows?

Maybe God has some sort of divine intervention for me.

Maybe it's right around the corner.

Sarah, good to see you.

You are right on time.

Let's grab a seat and get comfy.

So, did your mom drop you off?

- Yeah, she said she would come get me later.

- Okay, good.

Oh, I saw you brought your journal.

- Mm-hmm. - Great, thank you.

I give you almost as much work as your teacher, eh?

Good.

Good.

So, tell me, what's been going on in your life lately?

- I mean, just problems at home,

my parents are always fighting

and it's just hard for me.

- So, Skyler, you are looking beautiful.

Things are going well.

Roxanne, hey.

What are you doing?

No, no, go around.

I told you before, use the door.

Geez.

Roxanne, that's what doors are for.

- Who uses doors?

Normal people.

- Boring people.

Hey, all right, so I am breaking you out

of this office for lunch.

- Okay.

- I was thinking out favorite Italian restaurant,

the one with the really great mozzarella,

and the cute owner's son who has the hots for you.

- No, he does not. - Yes, he does.

You don't think I notice?

The plates come out,

yours has a little extra something something,

mine, nothing.

- Rox, you're ridiculous.

A guy hasn't looked at me since--

- Oh, no, do not bring up the Max this and the Max that.

He went off to New York, or wherever,

and it's been what?

Two years?

Two very long and lonely years.

Time to plant a new garden, honey.

I say start with some Italian herbs.

So, since you have a really good look into the kitchen,

how 'bout you tell me

when the Italian stallion comes into view.

- I am ignoring you.

- Yeah, well, you could try to do that.

- Hi.

- Good afternoon, ladies. - Hi.

- Welcome to the Peppermill.

Can I start y'all off with something to drink?

- I would like a water with no lemon, please.

- Okay.

- Oh, and a vodka martini, dirty, with three olives.

- Okay. - Well, you know,

make it a double. - Okay.

- Yeah.

What? - Are you done yet?

- It's five o'clock somewhere.

- And for you?

- I'll just have a water, thank you.

- Water?

- What's wrong with water?

It's good for you.

What?

What now?

- I don't know, I was just wondering

about what maybe you had planned

for say the first week of the summer?

- Why, pray tell, are you asking?

- Because I have this vision of you

with your cute little recyclable bag

heading into the used bookstore

and filling it up with $2 romance novels,

and then sitting home on Friday and Saturday night

after you get back from the gym to read them.

You, my girl, are predictable and boring.

I love you, I do,

but you have got to get a little fun in your life, capeesh?

- Oh my god, it's him.

- What? - It's him.

- Yeah, it is. - Don't look at him.

- What?

Ow, that hurt.

- Don't, stop. - Why not?

Look at him, he is like one of those statues

in a fountain that you're supposed to look at.

He's beautiful. - You're crazy.

- Come on.

Just look at him, seriously.

Just take a look.

Take a look. - Crazy woman.

I am.

- Justin, go long.

- I just think Christian and I would be so perfect together.

- I'm sure you do.

- He just has the best smile.

And his eyes, don't you think? - Yeah.

- Snap out of it, girl.

- He is pretty dreamy, isn't he?

Guys, it's summer.

We need to make a plan.

- I plan on watching every movie

that hits theaters this summer.

Yes, every single one.

- Oh, okay.

Well, I plan on starring in my community's summer musical.

- Well, I plan on getting discovered,

and when I do, I'm heading out to Hollywood.

Discovered?

I don't see any Hollywood agents

banging down your door, Michael Buble.

- And if they did come to New Orleans,

they'd be looking for me.

- Oh, or me.

- This conversation is stupid.

- Well, the music I'm gonna make with this

and the Grammys I'm gonna win,

that's all that matters.

- Well, I'm gonna be like one of those big celebrities

on YouTube and show kids that they can make a difference.

- Whoa, Whoa, that got very deep.

But on a brighter note, have you guys ever noticed

my abnormally small ears?

- Hey, Mr. Small Ears, get over here.

I wanna beat you in a game of foosball.

- Okay, I gotta be in on this.

- Count me in.

- Hey, guys.

How y'all doing?

Hey, Ms. A.

- How was school today?

- Ms. A, school's over, it's summer now.

- Yeah, thank goodness.

- Wow, time flies.

Summer already?

Okay, we're gonna have to talk about

posting new times for the center to be open, guys.

My work hours may be changing soon.

- More patients than usual, Ms. A?

- No, the opposite actually, but yeah,

a bunch of new hopeless romantics, just like you guys.

- I mean, you gotta love us, Ms. A.

- Oh, I do, Aldrich, that I do.

Well, I've got some paperwork,

so y'all have some fun and behave yourselves.

- Yeah.

- No!

- We did something!

- Do you ever stop looking at yourself?

- And what's wrong with liking the way I look?

- Just seems a little self-absorbed, is all.

- Well, if you cared about your appearance at all.

- You guys, that was really mean.

- Yeah, not okay.

- You know what, Lexi, not everyone is obsessed

with their appearance like you are.

- You're one to talk.

Little miss perfect Parker

who always has to have her makeup done just right.

"Is my mascara smudged?"

- "Do I look good in this shade of lipstick?"

- Guys, please stop fighting.

I think I need to lose at least five pounds.

- Hmm, more like seven.

- Guys, please stop fighting.

- It's okay, honey.

- Knock it off, okay?

You're all beautiful, end of story.

- Yeah, if this is a beauty contest

I wouldn't know who to choose.

Y'all are all drop dead gorgeous.

- Oh, give me a break.

This is all pathetic.

Stop trying to make her feel better.

- What do you think you're doing, Abigail?

You know that Belle gets triggered

with conflicts and fights like this.

- Well you know what? - What?

- She's gonna have to grow up

and face the real world one of these days.

- Look, this is supposed to be a safe place,

not a place where Belle has to face more trauma

and get attacked by bullies like you.

- Oh, shut up!

- Hey, no you ain't gonna talk to her like that.

No, you stop it!

I've got a magic trick or two.

Balloon artistry and face painting.

Paid weekly.

Glen@partymemories.com.

Okay.

Here you go, Glen.

You got this, Alex.

How hard can it be?

It's just a bunch of little kids.

You like art, it'll be fun.

Hi, my name is Alex.

How do you do? - Hey.

- I'm here for Hannah's party.

Thank you.

Hi, mermaids and mermen,

how are you today?

Good.

- Good.

Are you ready to have some fun?

Yeah.

- Okay, well, I heard that it's somebody's birthday today.

- Mine. - Yours.

You must be Hannah.

How old are you today, Hannah?

- Five.

- Oh, you're a big girl.

Do you brush your own hair?

So do I.

Would you like to see my brush?

I have it right here in my underwater mermaid bag.

It's a dinglehopper.

Works like this, see?

- It's not a dinglehopper, it is a fork.

Silly me.

I guess y'all never saw a dinglehopper before.

Well--

You're not a mermaid,

you're a human wearing a fake tail.

- Well, I most certainly am a mermaid, young man.

You know, we mermaids when we dry off we get legs.

- Then why not wear a dress and walk around on your legs?

Why try to fool us with a fake tail?

What do you think we are, gullible or something?

We're kids, not idiots.

Son, come here.

Well, why don't we try something else out of my merbag?

Look guys, isn't this neat?

It's my magic empty bag.

Doesn't it look empty?

Would you like to make something?

Yeah? - Yeah.

- What lives in the sea, guys?

Anybody know?

- Oh, fish. - That's right.

Fishes live under the sea.

- Crabs.

- Crabs do live under the sea, too.

What else?

- Seahorse.

- Yeah, seahorses live under the sea, too.

And so do mermaids.

You know what?

I think it would be really nice

to make you all a fishy balloon.

Would you like a fishy balloon?

Yeah!

Would you like a fishy balloon?

- I want a seahorse.

- Well, why not a nice blue fishy balloon?

- I want a seahorse.

- Oh, okay.

I'll try, sweetie.

Okay.

Alex, you can do this.

You made another big balloon.

- Yeah.

Oh, okay.

So, I'll just make you a seahorse.

Oh dear.

- Yay!

- Let's try that again.

Okay, look it's yellow,

it matches your bow, isn't that pretty?

Get it together.

It's not that hard, right?

Go like--

Oh.

- Hey.

- Oh dear.

You know, maybe I'll make the balloons

a little later, guys.

How about we do something else right now?

Would you like to play a game? - This is my house.

No.

- No? - This is my house.

- What would you rather do

instead of playing a game?

- Sing.

- Sing! - Sing?

Sing, sing.

Sing, sing, sing

sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing!

- Hi, I'm Alex, I'm here for Jackson's party.

- Hi.

What a lovely dress.

- Oh, thank you, but it's so hot to wear.

- Can I get you something to drink?

Lemonade, iced tea, a shot of whiskey?

- No, I'm good, thank you,

I don't drink when I--

- These rugrats can be a mess.

- Yeah, they sure can.

Just point me to 'em and I'll get started.

- Okay.

Kids, the face painter's here!

- Okay, you wanted to be a kitty cat?

- No, I told you, I wanna be a princess.

- Oh, sorry, it's just a little hard to hear with y'all.

And you wanted to be a kitty cat?

Oh, and you wanted Spider-Man.

- No, me! - Oh, I'm sorry.

You wanted Spider-Man.

What were you?

- Panda. - Panda?

Okay.

Okay, here's what we're gonna do,

don't worry, I'll get you all done, I think.

We're just gonna give you all numbers, okay?

So, don't worry, everybody's gonna get a turn,

just be patient.

Okay, buddy, almost done.

And you are a panda.

Do you like it? - No.

- Let me show you.

Do you like it? - No.

- Do you like it? - Mom!

Spider-Man's not pink!

- What do you think, sweetie? - I like it.

- Finally.

What do you think? - I like it.

- Oh, good, I think I'm better at princesses.

Oh, man.

Here, you're gonna look beautiful, honey,

just close your eyes for me.

Glitter, everything looks better with glitter.

- What is she supposed to be?

A scary clown or something?

- Mom!

She made me look ugly!

- Cool, can you make me a scary clown, too?

- Like her?

Sure, why not.

Climb on up.

Okay.

One scary clown coming right up.

Are you feeling okay, honey?

Your eyes are kinda red.

Ah, man.

Hey, could somebody get this kid's mom?

And some wet wipes.

It's okay, sweetie.

Just let it all out.

- Oh my god, I have less than 1,000 in this account?

And this one's drained.

Sweet Jesus, help me.

Look, if you want this place to stay open

I need a sign.

I've tried everything.

I don't know how to tell them.

I can't put off telling them any longer.

- Hey, what's up?

- Hey, Rox, what are you doing?

- Yoga.

- Yoga.

Rox, you don't do yoga.

- Yes I do.

There's this cute yogi at the gym.

He likes it.

- Okay, I cannot imagine that.

Sitting still, that's not your thing.

- Yeah, it really isn't.

But I'm on this ball in the park

and this is really fun.

So, what's up?

Okay, wow.

Look, Rox, I need to talk to you for a minute.

I need to run something by you.

- Okay.

- Well, I have this crazy idea.

I'm thinking of putting together a musical,

like a show to fundraise for the activity center.

I found out these kids really have talent.

- What are they gonna do,

have mood swings on stage?

- Oh, come on, that was funny.

All right, tell me about it.

- Rox, I'm serious, these kids can sing.

It's not a joke, they're talented.

It'll blow your mind.

And I was thinking, I need to contact Max.

- Wait, what?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

- See, I knew it.

I knew you were gonna flip out at me.

Look, I know I don't need him,

but I do need him, for the fundraiser at least.

- Okay, I'm not going back down Max memory lane.

You don't need him, Alex, you can do this on your own.

- He's good at that kind of stuff.

And I promise, I'm going to keep it

strictly professional, okay?

- Really?

You promise?

- Gosh, Roxy, yes.

I promise. - Pinky swear?

- I pinky swear.

Trust me, okay?

- Always.

You got this.

- Love you, girl. - Love you.

- Hi.

Yeah, it's Alex.

Yeah, long time.

Yeah, no, I'm doing pretty good, things are fine.

No, no I'm calling because...

Actually, I need your help.

Yeah, very funny.

Yeah, I know, I need lots of help, mm-hmm.

No, seriously, my foundation is in

a little bit of a pickle,

and I think that you're just the man to help me out.

Yeah, funny.

No, but I have an idea.

I found out that my kids have a gift.

No.

No, not shoplifting.

No, Max, these kids can sing.

Like really sing.

All right, guys, I called you all here today

because I have something to share with you.

Well, something to confess, actually.

Our government grant was not renewed six months ago,

and I've been funding this whole thing

out of my pocket ever since.

I never took business school, y'all.

I'm not so good with the finances, and we're broke.

- We're not gonna lose the center, are we?

- No, no, honey.

Not if I can help it.

- What can we do to help, Ms. A?

- Well, you could tell me,

why does this place matter so much to you?

Why does this place matter so much to all of you?

Justin.

- I wanna say something,

but I don't want you guys to judge me.

- Dude, don't worry, we're all family here.

- Yeah, we got your back, bro.

- The reason I wanna be here

is because I don't wanna be home.

My dad he...

He has a temper, and he likes to take it out on me.

At home, anything I do, it's not good enough.

I can't ever make him happy.

This...

This center, Ms. Alex, it's...

It's our home.

And you guys are my family.

- Thank you, Justin.

- My dad died of cancer last year, and...

it broke me.

It's like, how do you watch

the guy that raised you just fade away?

But...

But you guys accepted me,

and you were the shoulder I needed.

That's why I'm here.

- Thank you, Hannah.

- My older brother and I, we were close,

but when he was my age he ran away from home

and he got mixed in with the wrong crowd.

Any drug you could think of, he did.

He didn't have a place like this to come to,

and that's what this place is for us.

It's a place for hope.

- Ever since my brother was born,

she hasn't been the same.

The doctor says that it's postpartum depression.

I just, there's not too many reasons

for me to be happy anymore.

I'm just so glad to have this place.

You all bring a little joy into my life.

- You make us happy, too, sweetie.

Thank you.

- Abby, what's wrong?

- I'm sorry.

I'm just realizing that we're all in this together.

In the third grade, I was bullied so much

because I love to sing.

Even my friends said I sucked.

I stopped singing altogether until I came here.

- It's okay, you're not alone.

Me, too.

- This place, it gave me my voice back.

But I took out my frustration on all of you, and...

I'm sorry.

- I just come for the free food.

- Oh, guys.

Guys, thank you so much.

Abigail, thank you.

That was hard, thank you for your bravery.

Thank you all so much for sharing.

This reaffirms in my heart

why this place needs to stay open.

It matters.

This place matters.

You know, I've been reading this book.

It's called "God's Calling", and in here,

it talks about how each one of us

is created with gifts and talents, desires,

for a specific purpose.

I don't know if you know the story of Esther or not,

but she was given the gift of influence.

She was put in a very powerful position

and it was scary for her to use that gift,

could've cost her her life.

But the choices she made saved a nation.

Would you be willing to be brave like she was?

- Of course. - Yeah, of course.

- Would you use your talents and gifts

that I've seen in you to fight for your home?

Yeah.

Mr. Max!

Mr. Max!

- Hey, y'all.

- Mr. Max, what are you doing here?

- You didn't tell them, did you?

- Well, I was getting to that, and you're early.

- It's never too early to save the day.

- And also so humble, I see.

We missed you, Mr. Max.

- I missed you guys, too.

- We've got some ideas here.

Actually, Mr. Max, take it away.

- Okay, guys.

Well, how would you all like to star

in a musical written by moi?

- Yes! - To save the activity center.

Yes!

- Yes?

Yes? - Oh my goodness.

- Awesome!

- No.

I said they could have the space

for $50 a square foot and nothing less.

I have over $25 million invested in this property.

Look, if they give you any resistance at all,

you kick 'em to the curb.

This is a business, and if they want waterfront property

they have to pay the piper.

I have another call coming in.

Just get this deal done.

Hello, this is Chandler DelaHoussaye.

No, Mr. Marcello.

No.

I fully understand the terms of our agreement.

I just need a little more time, sir.

Please, I will have you your money, with interest.

I promise.

Thank you, sir.

Take care.

Let's see here.

Where is it?

Where is it?

There it is.

That sweet little property down by the river

where that nonprofit's gonna go belly up.

Let's see.

If I can...

get the demolition done for $50,000,

and I can pay planning and zoning

and the site inspector $125,000

I can make a ton of money off this deal.

Stacy, pull the car up front, please.

I wanna go see that pathetic little property

down by the river.

I need this to work.

- Max, thank you so much

for dropping everything you were doing

and hopping on that plane, getting down here so quickly.

I don't know how I'm ever gonna repay you.

- I could...

think of a few things.

- Look, we have a lot to get done and not a lot of time.

Strictly business, okay?

- You could suck the helium

out of the Goodyear Blimp, you know that?

- I guess I never was fun enough for you.

That's why you ran off to New York, isn't it?

- Ran off to New York?

I didn't run off to New York,

you forced me out, remember?

What was I gonna do?

Stay around here and see you around

and act like I didn't have feelings for you?

I asked you to come with me.

- Max.

Are you gonna help me or not?

- Okay, boss lady, what do you need from me?

- If you could write a musical,

something that would catch the community's interest,

maybe we could raise enough money to save the center.

But it would have to be quick, I'm out of time.

- So, let me get this straight.

You need me to write a musical, like, yesterday?

- Yeah. - What about a budget?

Stage crew, stage manager, production crew--

- No. - Lights.

- No. - Stage.

Max, look, I know some of the logistics are out of order,

but if you can just take care of the creative side

I promise I'll get the details in order.

- And what about us?

I mean...

What's in it for me?

- There you go again.

Been here, what?

Five minutes?

And already you're making this all about you.

Max, these kids trust me.

I cannot let them down.

If we can't fix this, they lose everything.

- What do you want, Alex?

What does your heart want?

- My heart?

Max.

If you ever really cared about me,

please, help my kids.

I can't lose my kids.

Please. - Okay.

How much are you in the hole?

- 60 grand.

- 60 grand. - I know.

- Oh boy, Alex-- - I'm sorry.

- You really, you got yourself

into a pickle here without me, huh?

Once again, you are making this all about you.

I don't know what I was...

Why did I even.

You know, you say you know me,

I don't think you do.

- I think I know you well enough, Alex.

This was a mistake coming down here,

I can see that now.

You don't want me back, you just wanna use me.

Shame on you, Alex.

Shame on you. - No.

Max. - Alex.

- Max.

Max!

My god.

the willow trails with me

forest that I love

makes my eyes light up

of my ecstasy

been to the deepest

on the sidelines

thoughts inside of me

the tears I've cried

that I wore on the outside

been to the deepest

on the sidelines

was a warm embrace

what my eyes see

that you know me

Come in.

- Well, hello there, young lady.

- Hello, who are you?

- Hi, I'm Chandler DelaHoussaye.

I'm with Orlean Executive Towers.

I'm here today to do a site assessment.

- Pardon me, a site assessment?

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

- Yeah, so the bank gave me this pocket listing

on this property and I'm considering purchasing it

at the end of the month.

- What?

- I'm sorry.

Is it not in unrecoverable debt?

- No!

It most certainly is not.

This building is not for sale.

If you'd be so kind as to exit the premises

I'd be very grateful.

- Okay.

Okay.

I'll see myself out,

but I'll be seeing you real soon.

Real soon, young lady.

- Look, Mr. Chandler, I already told you,

this building is not for sale.

- Oh, easy now.

Did I miss something?

Who was that man?

- That was.

You know what?

Nevermind, it's none of you business.

- Hey, hey, easy now.

Look, Alex, I'm not your enemy, okay?

I wanted to come back and say I'm sorry.

I know the dream I dreamed of Alex and Max is no longer.

I am here, I am your friend.

What can I do to help?

- Really? - Yeah.

- Okay, well, what would the first step of this musical be?

- Talent.

We need talent.

Can you maybe set up auditions

so we can see what we're working with?

- Yeah.

Yeah, you know what, the kids would be so excited.

I could probably do it as early as this afternoon.

- Good.

- But Max, you've gotta be gentle with them.

Some of these kids, they come from broken homes,

really rough backgrounds.

They're gonna wanna impress you.

They really admire Mr. Max.

So, whatever they come up with,

and I mean whatever they come up with,

positive affirmation, okay?

- Yeah.

Kid gloves, got it.

So, let's see, you have a piano, guitar?

- Yeah. - Yeah?

Well, let's go check 'em out.

- Okay.

- All right, so which one of you

juvenile delinquents wanna go first?

- Max.

- I'll go first, better to get it over with.

you'll find me at

singing in my cowboy hat

till the sun goes down

- Hmm.

Thank you, Hannah.

Next.

- Super duper, Kailei.

That's a keeper.

Next.

see what you'll do

is to be popular

- Catchy tune, but it's so '80s.

You're so '80s.

- Next.

- Think it's too late to fly back to New York?

- Max, what would Jesus do?

- Jesus would've given these kids talent.

- You know, there is talent in this room.

Just gotta give them a chance.

Why don't you show them what you're looking for, hot shot?

- All right, guys.

Alex and I are not trying to see if you can sing or not,

we're just trying to see if you can convey your emotions

from the stage to the audience.

Well, how do we do that?

- I really can't tell you, but I can show you.

Hand me that guitar.

an angel's wing

Heaven left for me

- Am I too late to audition?

No, come in.

Everybody's welcome.

Show us what you've got.

- Let's get this show on the road.

all the work

I've practiced

what I'm worth

be it's up to me

and show the world

- Now that's what I'm talking about.

- I told you these kids had talent.

- Yeah, some of them.

where they may

like you have me

been washed away

important to me

- So, do you think we can make this work?

- Well, we've got something.

Let's go.

- It's gonna be so fun. - I know, I can't wait.

- Oh, Alex, this place is really something.

I'm impressed. - Thank you.

I know important people, too.

Hey, guys.

Are y'all having fun?

- Yeah, we are.

- Thank you so much for bringing us here.

- You are so welcome, sweetie.

I'm so glad you guys are enjoying yourselves.

Y'all deserve this.

I love you guys.

- Ido have to warn you, though,

later there will be a cannonball contest.

I'm just letting you know, I am forever champion.

- Yeah, well, I was a swimming champion when I was younger.

I bet I could beat you in a race right now.

- I could take you, too.

- I would destroy you in a race.

- It is on.

Think they can beat me.

Oh, babe, don't get sunburned, okay?

Lobster is not a good look for you.

Good one.

Look at them, they're having so much fun.

Makes me happy to see them so happy.

- Makes me happy, too.

I like seeing you happy.

- Well, how's the play going on?

What did you call it again?

- Oh, it's...

One Star Rising.

- Okay, so how is One Star Rising doing,

and why did you call it that?

- Oh, it's inspired after biblical movies

and stage shows that I watched when I was a kid.

You asked for something clean and wholesome.

I just took some of my favorite scenes from there

and reworked them into the show.

Been working day and night, though.

You've barely given me a break.

- Hey, that's not me.

I didn't ask for any all nighters,

that's all you.

And hey, I even gave you half a day off,

told you to come have fun with us at the pool.

- Half a day off.

I know why you brought me here.

You just wanna ridicule and harass me.

I know your end game.

- Well, I mean you are kinda funny looking,

so you make me look good.

- Don't be hatin' on all this.

- No, honestly, Max...

The kids do really like you and you're great with them,

and I guess I kinda like having you around, too.

- Of course you do, I'm Max Rothschild.

- Hey, will you excuse me for a minute.

I think I'd better go talk to CJ.

- Okay.

- Hey, CJ.

How you doing?

You wanna go in for a swim?

Why not?

- I don't wanna get sunburned.

- Is that the real reason?

Hey.

Did I ever tell you about when I was 15?

I went through a hard time, abusive relationship.

At one point the pain got so bad

I felt like if I couldn't get it out I wouldn't survive.

So, I started to.

- To hurt yourself?

But you're Ms. Alex.

- I'm also human.

- How did you know about...

me?

- I've been there.

CJ...

God's love brought me back.

- I don't think God loves me all that much.

- No, no, CJ, God loves you.

Why would you say that?

- I did the whole church thing, Ms. A.

I know The Bible says that God is my Father.

What kind of father lets their child suffer?

It just feels like he's turned his back on me.

And I'm so tired of feeling...

worthless.

I just wanna...

I wanna feel--

- Whole again?

CJ, his love, it's so faithful.

He takes you just as you are,

but he doesn't leave you the way you are.

His love is there when you wake up,

when you open your eyes, when you take a breath,

when your heart beats.

Every minute of every day,

he can love you back to wholeness.

- You really think so? - I know so.

I know he loves you.

God is the one person that will never,

ever leave you or forsake you.

He will never judge you.

He will always love you.

- I love you, Ms. A. - I love you, too.

Can I give you a hug?

- Yeah.

- You know what?

All these kids here, they love you, too.

If you ever need anyone to talk to,

we're all here for you.

- Hey, so we're about to start the cannonball contest.

Y'all wanna?

- Hey, CJ and I could be judges.

- Oh, that's great.

Hey, kids, we're about to start

the cannonball contest, come on!

- Come on, C.

- I'm so sorry, Mr. DelaHoussaye,

they refused to stop at the front desk and sign in.

- It's okay, Stacy.

I know these two fine, upstanding gentlemen.

I'm good.

Thank you so much.

- Chandler Hollywood DelaHoussaye, in the flesh.

- Howdy, boys, what can I do for you?

- Mr. Marcello would like his money today.

- I just spoke with Mr. Marcello last week,

we have an agreement.

We have a special bond.

Everything's gonna be fine, guys.

- I don't think pretty boy here

is on the same page as the boss.

Mind I should rattle his cage a little?

- Not just yet.

Mr. Marcello likes his money on time,

and let me tell you something, little man,

if you love anything about yourself,

your business, or whatever you do,

you're gonna have that money today.

Do you understand me?

Are you hearing me?

- I hear you guys.

Everything is crystal clear.

- Let's hope so.

- This is a great idea.

Max...

Do you really think the kids

are gonna be ready for tomorrow night?

- Yeah, I think they're as ready

as they're ever gonna be.

- And you know, I looked online,

there are 681 tickets sold already.

- 681 tickets?

That's more than I had at my last show in New York.

- Well, this endeavor may not save the center,

but at least I'll know

we did everything we possibly could.

- Yeah.

We really did get this together pretty good, didn't we?

You know, you and I make a great team.

- Well, I really should thank you again.

You didn't have to come and rescue

me and all my problems.

- I kinda like being your knight in shining armor.

It's worth it to see that beautiful smile again.

- Oh sir, you make me blush.

Seriously, would you like to take walk on the pier?

- I'd love to.

Hey, Roxy, have you seen Alex?

- Yeah, she was here earlier

but she went back to the center

to get the kids' presents for after the show.

She'll be back soon.

- Okay, thanks.

- Max, Max, do you have the batteries

for the wireless mics? - Yeah, batteries.

Okay, A/V booth, under the console on the shelf.

I think they should be there.

- Okay, I'll check 'em all,

put the batteries in and test 'em.

- Hey, wait, wait, wait, before you go,

remember, we do need to label

each one independently, each channel.

We can't have any mess ups tonight, okay?

- From your lips to God's ears.

- Thanks, Roberto.

Where'd she go?

- Good afternoon, Ms. Park.

I've been waiting for you.

- How did you get in here?

- Door was unlocked, I let myself in.

- Well, you're trespassing.

This is private property.

I'd like you to leave now.

- Not so quick, missy.

We have some business to conduct here.

- Listen, Mr. Chandler, I don't know who you think you are

but I already told you, this building is not for sale.

Now, please leave.

- Well, come Monday morning

you will no longer own this property, the bank will.

I am merely here as to assist your exit.

Here.

This is for you.

- Now get out before I call the police.

- That was not a wise move.

- Get out!

- After you.

You should've taken the money, lady.

It's a shame, such a pretty woman.

It didn't have to be this way,

but I'm taking that teen center back from you.

You just sit in here and chill.

- Roxy, did Alex ever get back yet?

- No. - It's an hour till show time,

I'm starting to get worried.

- No, but maybe she stopped at her apartment or something.

Did you try calling her?

- I did.

It just keeps rolling over to voicemail.

- That's not like her.

Maybe I should go look for her.

- No, no, look, I got it, okay?

Look, you and Roberto are gonna be in charge, okay?

- What? - Not for the whole thing,

just at least until I get back, okay?

You've got this, okay?

You've got this.

You're in charge, but I'll be back as soon as I can.

- I'm in charge now.

- Alex.

Alex.

Alex, are you in there?

You sure picked a heck of a day to go MIA.

- You've gotta be kidding me.

Hey!

Hey!

No!

Let me out!

Come on.

Max.

Hey, babe.

I'm sure you're wondering what happened.

This guy named Chandler DelaHoussaye, I think.

He came by my office, offered to buy me out.

I turned him down, guess he didn't like it.

Next thing I knew...

I woke up in the center's freezer.

- Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations

as I have made of you, Peter,

baptizing them in the name of the Father,

and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

- Yes, Rabbi.

it hurts my heart

Voicemail.

Hang on, Alex, I'm coming.

- Max...

I'm sorry.

Tell the kids I'm sorry.

Please...

Tell them I'd never leave them.

I'd never leave them if I had a choice.

Please take care of my kids.

Don't let the center shut down, Max.

And you know, I never told you,

and I should've told you a long time ago,

I love you.

I don't just like having you around...

I need you around.

I never should've let you go,

and I'm sorry I pushed you away.

I was scared.

I was scared.

I was an idiot.

I didn't think that you'd ever understand.

- You know the time is among us, mother,

time for my father's prophecy

to be fulfilled as it was written.

I know, my beloved son.

You have given my life grace and meaning for 33 years.

What is the Lord's purpose for me now?

- To be the echo of my word

to all you encounter.

Use your faith and strength

and shepherd in what must be done

for all humanity to survive.

I know you have it in you.

- I know, but my heart's desire

has always been on you, my son.

What will Heaven be like?

- Everything you expect and more.

Wonders beyond belief,

a divine eternity of grace and fellowship

with all that is good and right,

and I will be there waiting for you.

It is time to rest now.

- Alex!

Alex.

No, no, no.

- No.

- Alex.

- Oh, thank god.

She's out. - I got it, I got it.

I got it.

- How long has she been down for?

- I don't know.

- Here, help me get her jacket off.

Okay.

She doesn't have a pulse.

- Come on, Alex.

- I'm sorry, I think she's gone.

- No, no, she's not gone.

Come on.

Come on.

No, no.

No, no.

- Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Okay, prepare to shock.

One, two, three, shock.

Still no pulse.

Okay, prepare to shock again.

One, two, three, shock.

Okay, I think I feel a pulse now.

Alex.

Alex, can you hear me?

Okay.

She's waking up, let's get her on a little bit more oxygen.

- What happened?

- You died.

But you came back, babe.

- It's okay.

Max? - Yeah.

- Do you love me? - You know I do.

- Really? - Yeah.

- Please take me to see the kids, now.

- How fast does this go?

- Tops, 75 miles an hour.

- I think that'll be fast enough.

- Father, why have you forsaken me?

My mind is weak, and my heart is sad.

If it is possible, let this cup pass me by.

Nevertheless, let it be your will and not mine

that will grant this day.

I cannot see you, but I can feel your presence.

- I am here, Lord, as a beacon of his love,

strength, and perseverance.

I shine upon you, and will not leave you

until your deed is done.

- I know now, Father, what I must do,

and it is well with me.

- Where have you been? - Dead.

- What? - Long story.

We'll explain later.

- Really?

Really?

- Roberto.

How's it going?

- Oh my god, so good.

- Thank you.

- Way to go! - Yeah!

- Are you the man they call Jesus of Nazareth?

So-called King of the Jews?

- I'm the man you seek.

Take me to do my father's will.

Stop it.

- Hey, are you feeling okay?

- I am fine.

Shh.

We missed half the show, be quiet.

- Yeah, because of the thing called your death.

- Shh.

men laugh and sing

where you're going

laughing people

to hold your hand

tears will be falling

no one will see

crying inside you

out to touch me

this way before

this way before

you loud and clear

feel good right now

never think about

count it all joy

For God so loved the world

that he gave his only son

so that everyone who believes in him may not die,

but have eternal life.

For God did not send his son into the world

to be its judge, but to be its savior.

And upon the third sunrise,

Jesus rose from the dead, refreshed and victorious.

- Excuse me, miss.

Mr. Benson would like a word with you.

- That's the billionaire owner

of the football and basketball team.

I wonder what he wants.

- Are you the person in charge

of all of these great kids tonight?

- I am.

Alexandra Park.

And you are?

- I'm Marc Benson, I'm a local businessman

and a patron of the arts.

I just wanted to come backstage

and tell you guys, y'all were terrific out there today.

Y'all really blew me away.

- Thank you.

I'm very proud of each and every one of them.

- When I was a young kid, I went out for my school musical,

and I remember it like it was yesterday.

It was Godspell.

I was a shy kid and I had never sung on stage

before that time.

But I went to auditions, and...

I said a little prayer.

Do you know what I prayed for?

- Not sure I entirely follow.

- What I prayed for was that God and the Holy Spirit

would somehow take over my body,

and mainly my voice, and just let me not embarrass myself

in front of my classmates?

- Did it work?

- The next day I went to the bulletin board

and I took a look at the cast sheets,

and miraculously, they cast me as Jesus.

Me, as Jesus.

Now, my mother, she was so proud

and we decided not to share

my love of dramatics with my father.

The whole show is a blank to me now, but...

When I was up there on the cross

singing my final song like Juan,

I saw him in the audience, and he was crying.

- He was ashamed?

- No.

He was crying tears of joy.

- Wow, that's an amazing story.

My name's Max.

I wrote this wonderful musical you saw tonight.

- Well, it's a pleasure to meet

both you, Alex, and you, Max.

And tonight, the two of you reminded me

of that very special evening so long ago.

Now, as I understand it, y'all run what y'all call

a teen activity center?

- Yeah.

I used to.

- Kids.

Y'all deserve a place much nicer than this.

Y'all were just spectacular tonight.

- Thank you, Mr. Benson, that means a lot

coming from someone like you.

- I'll tell you what I'ma do for all of you.

I built a brand new state-of-the-art performing arts center.

I wanna give it to you, and to the kids.

The same God that empowered me on that stage 35 years ago,

and helped me through that situation

that y'all all reminded me of it this evening

would have it no other way.

The building's yours.

- I don't know what to say.

This is too much.

I can't take this, sir.

- Why not, Ms. A?

- Yes, why not, says the angel of God?

- Alex, this does really help us out,

I mean, isn't this why we held this musical tonight?

- Thank you.

- Well, who gets the keys?

- Give it to her, definitely.

- Thank you.

- I'll tell you what else I'll do.

I'll go ahead and I'll pre-pay all of the insurance

and the taxes for the next 50 years

so you won't ever get a bill in the mail

with this new center.

- You know, you made all this possible.

- I did, didn't I?

- We make a pretty good team after all, don't we?

What do you say?

Do you wanna hang around

and see what we can do with this state-of-the-art facility?

- I'd love to.

promised good to me
