I'm Chase Morgan. And my senior year of high school starts today.

Where did the Summer Go? Seems like yesterday I was walking out of East
Glen high.

Well, actually, I was running.

Now I have to go back.

I can't this summer, the guest speaker challenged us to make a difference
in our world.

It ain't happening with me.

I've heard some people actually thrive in high school.

Me. I'm just trying to survive

My parents named me chase because they had high hopes I would go after
something.

A man of action said I've ended up the opposite.

I avoid conflict at all costs. Never speak up.

My best friend OB says if I was a superhero, they call me

undercover man

do you sleep Okè Are you nervous?

OB gonna meet you there early.

Seriously, mom?

Phil, actually, my mom, Sylvia.

Well, that's my boy. early bird gets the worm.

To avoid reality I daydream a lot.

In fact, I'm daydreaming right now.

This particular Daydream is probably

because my parents are a little over protective.

When the Daydream ends I come back to reality.

Have a great day.

inside your head

you gotta voice that sounds

ends you wanna settle that score

School's out to the heaviest heart

everyone in

my school, East Glen high population to many.

That's why I go early to relax and prepare for the day

really for living this class, it's gonna have a glorious glute for
breakfast.

You're here 45 minutes before anyone else you can't get to class on time.

What's wrong with you?

Toby has been my best friend since kindergarten.

He's always looking out for me.

Shortcut government. Why do I listen to Willie

again? So only one performance thing really cool show the class

here's Bobby Wright pretty cute.

I've known her my whole life.

Man. He said the thing for her in junior high

tonight

gentlemen, on the seat

where the sound of one hand clapping.

The guy with kiwi accent is Mr. Livingston.

He's from New Zealand. Came here 15 years ago on a teacher exchange

and loved it so much. He never went back

Rugby fanatic is one State Teacher of the Year four times.

His preparation is legendary. He arrives at school

at 6am sharp every morning to prepare for his classes.

He's your classic type a driven personality.

Hey, rumor has it that Livingston and Miss Stevens have something for each
other.

It just gives Josie and her crew one more thing to gossip about

she had trouble finding her classroom this morning. So

I thought it delivered her timetable. So thank you very much.

Good morning. Hey, class I'd like to introduce you to Gracia Davis.

Gracia Espanol por la gracia Si, o si.

Spaniard no hablo espagnol

very poorly, very poorly, please take a seat

when I started out in a spare bedroom,

two turntables turn and a microphone

I was tripping over 30 threes, working all round in melodies

searching for some more of you

now back to the requirements.

Number two expect full participation from everyone in this class.

That means hé have you an extra pen or pencil

what kind of shampoo do you use

organic tea tree oil with lavender extracts?

Why do you ask because your hair smells spectacular

Mr. Morgan

Wild thing

isn't that right Mr. Morgan?

So embarrassing. I've got to get this checked out.

Now if there will be no more interruptions Great.

Chase

should probably get that checked out.

A satellite my dad OB has called me governor for as long as I can remember.

Started after he shaw Mary Poppins 20 times and it stuck.

I call him Obi Wan because

my friend I need you to do me. It makes him feel good.

Mark my words. I am never

ever going camping with my family again. hold me to it.

Why not? Picture this if you will.

Yellowstone National Park. We're going camping in a tent made of nylon.

Nylon chase we were parked in between campers who looked like Fort Knox.

My dad forgets to put the food in the cooler.

It's in the tent. He did. He was definitely did

before am I here it

sniffing by my head. You didn't ? I did.

And then

I am swell myself. You did? I definitely did.

It was a bear. Very large bear hungry bear. Probably Winnie the Pooh.

I started climing out the tent. I'm not really sure what to do.

I'm about to like, open the zipper and make a run for it when suddenly

Do you mind if I join you?

Please join us thanks.

I am Obadiah Zacharia. OB for short.

Nice. Okay.

As you heard this morning, my name is Gracia please call me grace.

This is my mute friend Chase. Morgan.

Hi. So Grace. What's your story?

Where are you from? How did you end up here?

Oh, that's an interview. Is Somebody recording it?

Well, actually in order to sit here.

You have to ask her a few skill testing questions.

Okay. My dad is a microbiologist.

He researches all over the globe. So

I've pretty much lived everywhere.

Oh, a woman of the world. I like it.

So how'd you end up in you know Livingston's class

connections? Really?

Yesterday at registration, there was an opening.

I think somebody must have dropped out just before I got there.

Nice timing.

Perfect timing.

Exiting I gotta go.

What? Sort of like 15 minutes?

Yeah, Mr. B, you want to know how my summer was so

nice Sweeney.

Yeah, he's on like, lots of medications.

She won't be easy. She'll carefull

Jess, are you okay with this?

it's way better then okay

I am a Christian

as a Christian I'm not supposed to

have sex

anyone having sex here with you

stop joking

Are you listening to what I'm saying?

Yes, you're talking you're talking about sex and

not doing it and stuff like that.

So where do you stand in all of this?

I don't know. Honestly, I just kind of do what comes natural

You don't feel any guilt.

Guilt would probably not describe how I'm feeling right now.

What are you feeling?

Unbelievably attracted to the most beautiful woman I know.

Dreams is

honest to God but you didn't believe in god

you know what? You are making me a bleep Bobby

was that

great my parents are home?

Kneel down. But why

are the lights off keep me save

keep my parents save and everyone else out there on the roads?

And

Hi dad me and just we're just praying in the dark.

Yeah, we find it easier to pray in the dark.

Just

yeah, it's way better in the dark

really

well, it's probably Jake Allen. It's all

See you later Rafi.

That's right. Take care Jesse

Bobby

sorry for our machines

Bobby, Bobby, your mother and I would like to talk to you now.

My Expresso my Expresso loves on me.

I drink it all the more.

makes me so happy

so, so what do you think of her? Grace?

She's nice. That's it

what did you think? She's cute.

Yeah, I smile for sure. Smart

true.

Those eyes

so you've done a science living class.

Dude. What assignment?

OB one dude. I'll text it to you.

Thanks bro. i

i OB you one

again

schoolyear start as it usually does.

This new group of freshmen half of them girls

some things just never change

usually I'm gonna fall funk.

Missing summer my freedom.

But this year is different.

Been on this road.

Seeing Grace everywhere has given me something

to look forward to every day.

But you've been ride and rock together we've seen you there inspires

me inspire me

So that is one of the main reasons why the benefits outweigh the negatives.

Speaking of food is anyone else hungry? Thank you.

Most of the students I know who use marijuana frequently

do it to change their personal reality

to reduce pain or enhance pleasure

I think all of us know someone whose life has been affected by it.

The guy who used to be the all star on the sports team who doesn't come to
practice anymore,

or the straight A student whose grades are starting to suffer.

There's compelling evidence that it harms us all, not just the user.

So for these reasons, I don't believe the benefits of marijuana outweigh
the drawbacks.

Thank you

Thank you, George.

Gracia. Very nice.

Voltaire said and I'm paraphrasing here

I may not agree with what it is that you have to say.

But I will defend to the death your right to say it

the freedom to convey our convictions without fear is crucial and non
negotiable

if we were to consider ourselves civilized

we continue hot seat on Monday.

Greece killed it again for another class.

She makes the bait look too easy

she's got more friends in three weeks than we've gotten three years.

What does she got that we don't got

looks charm Charisma, Intelligence personality.

I get it character. Spry doesn't

do it that you student from California. Classy Davis. I don't think so.

Did I introduce you on the first day of school?

Okay, what about her? Wow, she's intriguing.

Tremendous communicator. All of my students love her well

most of my students love her

she's popular charismatic

but there's just something about it Yeah.

I cannot quite put my finger on it yet but

she is different. Different good.

She different bad.

That my friend is the $64,000 question. Okay.

All right. Well, we find out let me know yes mate

Mr. B is an amazing guy. He almost made it to the Olympics in the
decathlon,

but blew his shoulder out.

Unfazed, he went into education because he loves kids and he loves history.

Especially the Constitution

it's like the big brother I never had

I can tell him anything.

There's this girl she is in my events debating class and

I can't stop thinking about her

she's beautiful and their smile

and I think about you know asking her out

so should I

maybe you thought about getting to know her?

Why don't you ask her out for coffee

no pressure

yeah no pressure

thanks Mr. B you are welcome Chase

no pressure

no pressure

Mr. B is right Don't be a coward Chase

No, no

she's gonna see your number

see what's fresh? Keep this Rob's like failing in the second half

was to always have respect for that

confidence.

That was that it was timeless.

So in my mind it is

like the Kung Fu grip microphone Anaconda.

Chase Chase Morgan, how are you?

I'm fine. Was is With your voice

Nothing. Sorry. OB I need your advice.

Good. I'm listening.

I tried calling grace tonight.

Let me guess You hung up after one ring.

How did you know that install of us bro.

Really? What should I do? Well, the way

I see You have two choices my son, listening.

One. You can get back on that phone and dial until she answers or

you can quit trying and be tormented by thoughts of what if for the rest of
your life

life? Seriously OB What? What would you do?

That's easy. I would quit trying. It's rejection I do believe me. It really
beats.

Hey, is that four days in Geneva in the background? Confidence music Hmm.

You know it

what's wrong?

Nothing. There's a spider.

Giant Spider freaking me out. I gotta go kill it. I'll call you back later.

Dude. Dude

it's time bonk

hello

I can hear you breathing heavily.

Hello? Chase. Is this you? Uh huh. You called?

I did. Yeah, you did? Your number popped up on my phone.

Did you? Did you need something?

Gosh, this is hard.

What did you just say?

What? Did you just think? Gosh.

Maybe? Why didn't you just say God? Oh,

when I was little.

I'm listening.

You know, we were taught that. this is so weird

Go on. Well, you know, when I was little, I was taught that saying God

in that way is like, like taking God's name.

Chase are you a Christian?

No, you're not. No, no. No, I'm sorry.

What I what I meant to say is? No.

But reasonly never asked me that before.

So you are Christian?

Yes, but I'm not like a fanatic

or anything like that.

So I'll just see at school on Monday.

This is amazing.

Yeah. I've been praying for Christian friends.

You called completely out of the blue.

You're the answer to my prayers. I am

I'm happy to forward but do you want to meet up?

Now like like right now?

I'm being too forward.

No, no, not at all.

No, it's, it's cool.

Okay, so what do you say?

raising canes in 20 minutes?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, sure.

Beachy.

It not the Black Widow. Oh, god. No.

You see now?

Yes, that's better. Poisonous No, I'm fine.

Then what's the problem?

I called Grace told you to call my dude.

Torment is definitely better than rejection.

OB she did not reject me

saywhat simply now I have a serious problem

what is that she wants to go out now.

Well, whoa whoa whoa Whoa,

don't take this personally, my dude, but

why don't you want to go with you?

She thinks I'm an answer to prayer.

So she's nuts. No,

no, I don't think so. She's a Christian

and she's been praying for Christian friend and I have a call

man. Why can't I get that? It's too easy.

So how did you know you're a Christian?

I'd say gosh it's it's a long story, but um, do that.

I only have 17 minutes. I have to go I gotta go get ready,

dude. I don't know. Later.

Dude Dude.

So what are we doing

here? Like,

where's this going? By like, yeah.

I don't know. What do you mean? You don't know?

I mean, I don't know. I'm having fun. Are you having fun?

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

It's just fun is not everything. Well,

okay. Well, where do you see us in the future?

Yes, it's bases. But I mean, it's upside down.

That's the head and then you got the neck and then the front legs. There

pretty cool. I just I don't care about Pegasus.

Asked you a serious question. I don't know. Okay. I don't know. I

don't think I like I don't think about it.

What do you think about Jess?

stuff?

So

I go for a drive

right now

it starts and ends with things to play

a miracle boy can't see invisible boy believe me

so what's new?

Not much

How was your week?

Pretty good.

Enjoying debate?

I mean, sort of the adult kids enjoy. Thanks.

You're welcome.

Are we gonna do this all night?

I was sort of hoping we could have a conversation

What? Dating? You think this is a date?

Kind of? Really?

What is it then ?

I don't know. Two friends. eating chicken fingers getting to know each
other.

Yeah. Let me start over.

I want you to think of me as a friend.

You haven't met yet?

Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I can. I can do that.

Hi, I'm Gracia Davis. Please call me grace.

Love your name, Gracia. Thanks.

How'd you get my mom

And the doctors told her that she wouldn't be able to have kids.

So she knew it was only by God's amazing grace that I was born

But you can call me chase

Well, he's actually the only microbiologist I've ever met.

And Mrs. Davis. She is one crazy Puertorican mama.

Oh god what am I doing

That's all it took for me to fall in love with this beautiful woman.

Nice. Nice sweetie. Don't let the bedbugs bite.

Oh, God, they will unfold in Sharla know my wayward son,

the deadweight 30 wais a ton

on a go down to the river and let it run,

wash away all your things you done forgiveness all right

85% of use in prison. And 71% of high school dropouts

all come from single parent families

with today's economy, affordable daycare and a full day of school.

Women can pursue their dreams with or without men.

The decline of marriage is a national crisis.

Up until 1970. The percentage of Americans that stayed married,

never dipped below 93%.

And since then, she has had to raise my three cousins by herself.

And the courage and the strength that she has shown in the face of
immeasurable pain is

it's inspiring

to say that that's a national crisis that she didn't stay with him.

That degrees, everything that she's done for them.

Sorry, gracia

changed by without being shown smoked over there in the world is known.

Keeps me running on skipping like cocaine

stupid from his style without one saying.

Thank you, Josie, Amy, gracia, Chase.

You've got us thinking and that's a good thing.

Thoughts anyone? Cisco.

Every culture evolves, right? Absolutely.

Well, then bigger, the family will be stronger in the long run, you know,

with all the changes that are happening.

Cisco, did you hear that?

Gracia a little louder? So that Cisco, can hear you

I said survival of the fittest?

And what did you mean by that?

I just thought Cisco's statement was a little misleading.

No offense, Cisco. None taken

None taken. This is the bait.

Are you gonna let her roll you like this?

Really. How So

if Darwin's theory was based solely on natural selection,

I'd be fine with it. But

But what? I think we all agree that there's variability within species

based on environmental conditions. But

personally, I think Darwin used his theory incorrectly

to explain the origin of species.

That's fascinating. Do you care to elaborate?

No? We've got time

in front of the class. Sure. We'll

have you and Cisco debate each other.

I'm not so sure I.

Okay, okay.

I'd like to see a doctor.

Okay. What's your name? Bobby Ryan.

Honey. I just got a call from the school about Bobby.

James. You've been doing this a lot lately.

What? The school called? Yeah, she missed her first class this morning

when she tried texting. Course I did.

You don't need to get short with me.

He's been so preoccupied with church. You don't even know what's going on
around here.

I had gotten Jim Shaw breathing down my neck.

The church is running a deficit and he stares at me

with those beady little eyes every Sunday morning.

I cannot stand it James

You're losing her

And they found these similarities among groups of organisms

that suggested evolution had occurred.

Now it was the middle of this perfect storm that a young dude

by the name of Charles Darwin

went on one voyage to the Galapagos Island.

species do change over time in space.

For example, the Eskimos that live further north

have shorter limbs. In order to retain heat

on the Galapagos Islands, he discovered the species of little birds. He
named the Darwin finches

and the species of bird they adapted and evolved according to their
environment,

and the food that was available to them on the island.

As you know, Darwin didn't write a book called A change in species over
time,

he wrote The Origin of Species

This in turn affected the size and shape of their beaks.

Now this proves that Charles Darwin, his theory of evolution is BEAutiful,
he thought

that life began with a single bacteria. So

why, because species change over time and space

problem with natural selection is that it's limited to the genetic material
it starts with. So

in order to create a new species, you have to have

new DNA, and every organism has common ancestors with other organs.
Scientists

believe that in order for Darwin's theory to actually work,

it would take millions of small positive mutations

in order to get from a single organism cell to

I don't know, Mozart.

Hello, Bobby, what can I do for you today?

I think I'm pregnant. What makes you think you're pregnant?

I haven't had my period for two months,

were you're sexually active at the time.

Did it once.

Can you tell me when the first day of your last period was?

I don't remember. And did you use contraception?

No. Have you had any symptoms?

Symptoms, morning sickness breast tenderness,

like felt like throwing up?

And how long have you felt that way?

for a month? Have you had a pregnancy test?

Yeah, I did a home test. I didn't trust it.

OB we can run the test right now and

we can take it from there okay.

And this process of evolution is gradual, and slow.

Very few of these fossil remains have been discovered.

These three statements are irrefutable unarguable.

And the true Darwin himself admitted in his own book that they were missing
link

evolution is all around us.

And it's happening all the time.

And he hoped that someday they would be found

and they were Gracia

Archaeopteryx, the missing link between reptiles and birds and

Australopithecus the missing link between ancestors and humans, Sister

Oh, you just interrupted grace.

I don't think she was done speaking.

Sorry. gracie. Sorry. No worries, Mr. Livingston.

I'm sure you're familiar with Nebraska man.

Based on a single tooth, scientists thought that he was the missing link.

Little did they know that that tooth belonged to an extinct pig.

As high school students, we don't always get it right. But hey,

scientists don't either.

I guess the larger point I wanted to make is that

Darwin and all of the scientists before and after him

still don't know how we got here.

That first single bacteria cell had to come into existence

But how to this day.

We can't create life from nonliving matter.

Hopefully Yeah, I have the results.

The pregnancy test is it's come back positive.

Break

I'm just disappointed.

Bobby, you have a decision to make.

Now have you thought about your options

I want to discuss your options with you

But all the choices are difficult. So you need to think carefully

before you make a decision.

Now one option is you can carry the baby to full term and keep it.

You can also carry the baby to full term and give it up for adoption.

Finally, you can terminate the pregnancy.

What I have to do, I can't tell you what to do.

There's a clinic that can help you with this.

I've written down their address and phone number.

You can call them and make an appointment

I hope everything works out for you.

The law of probability states that anything over 10 to the 50th power is
not possible.

I've never really thought about how difficult it was to create that first
single cell

in order to form a single protein is 10. To the 160 and 64. Why?

And here's Grace explaining the probability of it actually happening.

And there's a one in two chance that each bond will be correct.

If it's not, then it doesn't form properly.

To make things even more improbable,

they need to all be left handed amino acids as opposed to right handed one.

If you have even one right handed amino acid in the chain wil not work,

Grace, how do you know about all this stuff?

My dad, he talks about it all the time

for real? Yeah. Has anybody ever heard of Francis Crick,

he discovered the DNA helix.

Yeah, he, he said that life on Earth was so improbable

that it was probably founded by some alien form from another planet.

This is exactly what you people do.

Just because something seems so improbable.

You immediately assume that it had to come from some higher power.

No disrespect, Mr. Livingston, but from where I'm standing.

It seems like your position would take more faith than mine.

You know what, you're so predictable.

That and now you're gonna segue into intelligent design. Right?

How do you think we got here?

Scientists are working on that very question as we speak.

The first day I came into your classroom, I was

intrigued by the pictures that you have on your wall.

I mean, why? Why then why this specific group of scientists

and philosophers and entertainers and athletes,

prominently displayed seemingly looking down on us from above,

you know what dropsy? I thought you might have worked that out for
yourself.

I mean, come on. These are some of the finest minds that have ever lived.

It's true that you also share something in common with them.

Yeah. Which What's your point?

Jay Gould here said that.

Darwin's theory was inherently anti plan,

anti purpose and anti meaning and that Darwin himself knew this.

Therefore, matter is the only reality.

And our whole goal in life is to pass on our genes to the next generation.

Don't you find that depressing?

I mean, what do you believe? If anything?

You know what? I'm not gonna let you get away with that easily.

How about you tell me I

think at one point, you were so certain

that God didn't exist, but now,

you know, that's enough.

We've listened to you a little probability theory long enough.

It's time that we

this is way too cool. This is way too cool.

It fits right in with that thing that long hair H2 would say

I might not agree with what you're saying.

Because it really really sucks.

Mr. L, like you will defend to the death crisis right to say it right.

Right. Hey, hey, settle down, sit down.

Sit down. Sit down

Garcia I'm gonna let you finish what you started, but make it quick.

Thank you, Mr. Livingston.

Guys, could it be possible that God created everything,

and that he did so with amazing artistry and creativity and purpose,

with everything from the male peacock with his brilliant plume to attract
females to

I mean, our fingerprints, unique to 7 billion individuals on the planet,

or the endless universe. I mean, all of this points to design and

forgive me if this sounds overly simplistic, but

it's There's a design there has to be a designer, right?

Mr. Livingstone. It feels like every time I speak about creation in this
way at school,

I'm either shut down laughed at or both.

What about open minded dialogue? What about the pursuit of truth?

Abraham Lincoln said that those who deny freedom to others deserve it not
for themselves.

And under a just God cannot long retain it.

It seems like there's only one worldview promoted at this school and

it doesn't include the G factor.

Principles Schwab has spent his entire career at Skyline High,

turning into one of the most prestigious schools in the state.

He takes great pride in encouraging all of his staff and it will seem to
appreciate it. Except for Livingston.

Oh, God, I got to make some more I got the last one.

Seriously, very pleased. Okay.

Single off the game. Great, man.

Everything's great. You should Okay. Since

I got sucked into debating one of my students.

debate class seems like the appropriate place for debate.

What happened to your policy by not sharing personal feelings?

No, no, no, I got I just got caught up in the moment.

Would you debate?

What Come on? You're gonna love this.

Creation versus Evolution?

Really?

What side are you one?

Funny guy.

Oh, no, seriously, I can't believe you allowed that to be a debate topic.

You know, you probably have some parents calling.

Yeah. You know, what wasn't the topic.

The kids were debating marriage in

Canarsie Davis made an off the cuff comment about survival of the fittest.

You know what I didn't like it tone.

So I convinced Cisco to the beta.

The look on Livingston's face was priceless

relentless. How did you know all that stuff about It?

I Didn't I just guessed.

Wonder if your grades are gonna suffer. A guess.

The pictures on his wall went from atheists to agnostic,

so I figured maybe his worldview might be evolving.

I couldn't afford to talk to him like that.

I am barely passing.

Talk about irony, though. Evolving worldview.

You know, I figured out what was wrong with her.

I mean, what was different about it?

Was that I think she's wondering a youth event

seriously, though, seriously? Oh, come on.

You know, the pictures that I've got on my wall?

Yeah, the famous dead guys.

Well, you know what, they've gotten common. They're dead.

They're famous. I don't know.

Can I see in you? She pointed it out. They're atheist or agnostics.

I hadn't really thought about that. So come on sec.

Yeah, I'll be fine. I'll be fine.

Okay, I gotta get to class but

I would have killed to have a guy like him interested in me.

Okay, can you respect my personal choices when they differ from your own

Because that's the way God made me and the way you raised me.

I gotta go prepare that firepit

thanks for the talk.

Love you baby. When I was 12

my parents got me this to

write my dreams and thoughts in Socrates.

famous Greek philosopher, Mr. B always talks about? Yeah.

I love his quote. Great Minds, discuss ideas.

Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss

people like

read some for us

wrote this when I was 14.

Why was I born? Why was I born a human not an animal?

Why was I born in America and not a third world country.

Why was I born into a Christian family and not a Hindu family

why was I born?

Well, existentialism

may well be I'm impressed.

Yeah, no my man chase over here this spoken word poetry

Yeah, you're seriously

Can you recite something funny?

Hello man. Say we are not here

we look up to losers we become users Beggars can't be choosers.

We buy what they sell us. They tell us the real life make everybody
jealous?

See, we think that heavens made a fine white powder that fulfillments found
in a paradise

and the path to Paradise is paved with weed and dollar bills

to green brick road that we're on where the tin men and women

we lost a heart to the illusion called prosperity we encourage barbarity

while we sleep at night called chivalry and after night

that you can't even remember you wake up next to a girl you never met.

So you run but faith must not be blessing you

because you run into the guys you owe money to them

with one shot you leave behind an empty barrel.

A girl with a new life inside of her and a wound that no one can mend.

But that's just the way it is right? We all got to live life we all live
and die.

No day is different than this night. We all die under star light.

And it doesn't matter what you fight and that's just the way it is right?

And that's just the way it is right

Oh man, that was beautiful

Have you shared that At school

why not? You said let me since class

people would ridicule you

you're wrong. This is with I exspect

Okay, let's take a break from the constitution for a minute.

Hallelujah.

Okay, I was watching you Biography Channel last night.

I know. I know I'm boring.

But it really got me thinking who is most influential person ever?

Legally think about that. Who is the most influential person of all time?

Oh, Steve Jobs. Why

Apple products influence every inch of the globe.

That's actually right up and your grades are going to be influenced

if you don't put your phone away right now

is somebody else to bring up? Confucius.

I can see that Kaylee

Aristotle think of all the writers he inspired Amy

Ghandi okay. Yeah, Cisco

Luther King Jr. I have a dream

that's George Kurst Cobain

Yeah, cuz he's God. Okay,

I'm not gonna go there with you George.

Someone else

Chase

somebody want to say

okay, can I go to the bathroom

Can you wait five minutes left the class

it's a fascinating discussion right

well, there's something that every single person you name have in common.

They all have followers. Now back to the Constitution

How do you feel about him?

I love him. Have you told them that you're pregnant?

No. And your parents

no no,

my dad never liked Jessie didn't trust him.

So do you think you're gonna

When I was little I thought that abortion was evil

but now

you probably think a monster No

no, not at all. You're in a deep

valley Bobby

honestly don't know what to do

Do you believe in God

with my whole heart

do you believe in me before you were born Yeah, I do.

Then we have to believe that he has a plan

Grace's island had become our second home

the three of us met here every weekend.

Funky vibe here and just to

chill and talk about life say

It might be me my heart she's kind of fixing me you now.

What up

can't really explain it

Do you mind if I play something?

You are in deep valley

carrying away

so if you're ever feeling home

know that you cry cries

Please don't throw this stuff away

or make it better Sunday

Believe me it will be okay

he promised it will be okay

what's up Governor look troubled

Today in History Mr. B asked us was the most influential person in the
world and

I knew the answer I even like wrote it down I just

couldn't say it was like I was paralyzed

JC might not see this but

there's something inside of you that's so inspiring.

really wants to use that

Governor Oh, that's a good one.

Grace you cracked me up?

That wasn't supposed to be funny.

Listen, guys these people like me and him

no offense governor.

This is people like you

so together

even have a clue about who I am

or what I see. Speak your mind intelligent bring people together

so once you see Jace

I'm not perfect

Well, you had it pretty well

at my old school I couldn't find one Christian friend

so I ended up hanging out with this group of people and they were great

but left a party

I felt like I could justify being with them as

long as I was witnessing to them

I was their designated driver and

before long I was convinced that just drinking on weekends was okay

I have got in this relationship with this guy who

didn't share my same face

when we were drinking

given two things. Skin

How did you how did you change

this amazing Christian girl named Bree

she hugged me in spite of me.

She was my angel

that's fine reaching out to Bobby

I've experienced God's grace

in a way that I can't explain.

He loves Bobby. He loves me.

No matter what we've done

didn't fight the self score.

He fought for the poor he went to the parts of the city

that the rich wouldn't even dare think about.

To leprosy when it was considered sin to touch a leper,

he saved the prostitutes when the religious men were saying kill them.

He promoted love above all when his kinfolk reach into attack and

he continued to promote love and one of his best friends stabbed him in the
back.

He continued to have hope and people he had came to save spit in his face,

and he continued to forgive when his blood dripped down that crosses base.

But when I say Jesus, you just see the chain links formed around yourself
for protection,

but your fence is weak, because so are the connections.

The overwhelming historical weight of Jesus's existence is now what makes
me have this insistence.

See, I believe Jesus is the greatest man who ever lived.

Because when my depression was choking me,

Gandhi was not the one to show me love.

When I was drowning in my own imperfections.

It was Jesus that brought me up out of that pit.

See, I knew what brokenness sounded like to the hopeless.

It sounded like a piano with all of its strings that were ripped right out
of it

still looking perfect on the outside to its admirers, but knowing

the sound of its music would never measure up to the symphony of
perfection.

But that's when this carpenter named Jesus came into my life

and took this dead heart and nature made it so much more life.

See, we all form chain links around ourselves for protection.

But the reason as to why there is no question as to who the greatest man in
the world is,

is because I see this connection.

It's this beautiful silver piano chord between me and my Lord,

and it's making the most beautiful melody that the world has ever heard.

And it's a melody that Jesus offers the entire world

because when I hear Jesus

I hear rhythm healer

harmony betrayed. symphony murder

melody a life

you don't sound ready. Amy.

Are you afraid?

It's not that I just don't get to have her during the semester break.

Oh my gosh, I've literally explained it 2 million times.

Chase likes Brady. So if we get him

we hurt Chase and if we hurt Chase,

we hurt Gracia go

Hey, Hey Amy

and they're making her decide which one to live with and

I don't know what to tell her

that's a really tough place to be and

a lot of kids are dealing with divorce now and sometimes

you just being a sounding board for them.

And being there it's fully all you can do

a sorority no, they are Christian

would you mind praying for me?

Yes I don't know if I would say the right things to her.

Yeah, I can do that for you.

Being a father. Thank you, Lord. For Amy

and that she's being a good friend

to someone who's really hurting right now.

Are the words to say

thank you Miss really. Welcome is such an inspiration.

God bless you You too.

Nice work when Schwab ceases he's done

never. I think that's what she said.

Grace is never gonna date.

Because she's in the what did you call it?

Courtship which is

I have to spell out everything for you chase. Okay,

listen closely, because I'm not going to repeat it.

Crazy. This doesn't believe in dating because it's an artificial
relationship

based on physical attraction. She wants a soulmate.

Courtship promotes friendship, which leads to real intimacy.

In essence, she wants my her best friend.

So are you going to court Hannah? Heck no.

I'm gonna date her.

She's playing with you bro

What are you guys talking about?

Guys stuff.

Careful with this one.

So kids, what are we going to do now?

I went to the Mediclinic two weeks ago and they confirmed it.

It's the kid, isn't it?

How are you feeling? Great.

This is great. You know, I can make the announcement at our annual general
meeting.

Right after I announced that we're running a deficit.

I'm pregnant. And you're the one that needs consoling

I hate you

off.

I admire your passion.

You've always been a good friend of me.

We can fight this thing together.

I don't know John had looked at my legal options and

I don't have a piece about it.

Maybe it's time for me just to move on

good class

No worries Chase.

It's going on you're going the wrong way.

I have been suspended.

I'm not allowed to be here anymore.

Just like the praying thing, or

Just gonna leave without saying goodbye.

I wish it wasn't like this.

Chase. I'm so proud of you.

You found your voice.

Your confidence

are you going to get to class you know,

Mr. Livingston feels about tardiness.

Thanks for surgery. Yeah.

Hey, is it cool if I call you sometime

office mediately

honey Bobby's not answering her texts.

And she's not in class

Okay, I find her

ladies and gentlemen, I'll be right back.

Mission Domingo.

What's up with Livingston.

I don't know but pray for Bobby.

Good

morning Bob this is Stephen. Yes he is. But he's on the phone with

John. You can't go in there John.

Steve got to talk. wasn't in the budget last year? It's not in the budget
this year.

Steve.

Steve right now.

I have to call you back. It's not a good time

to see

what's going on.

I assume you're referring to Zack

Zack crossed the line. There's video evidence.

Come on. It's entrapment. These kids are upset with Gracia Davis and chase
Morgan and they

took it out on Brady.

He was caught praying with a student on the campus.

He knows the rules and so do you he's the best teacher on

earth if you don't reinstate him right now.

I'm done. You are overreacting

to this whole thing. His job is going to be suspended with pay I might add

and there's every likelihood he's gonna get the job back

Yeah. And if he gets it back that we list as long as my arm of the things
he can't do and can't say

what happened to his first amendment

rights and that you are Jack's friend and you're trying to protect him

but you are going that is

not what this is about really.

It's about the freedom to be who we are inside and outside

don't have to compromise inside and outside.

Yes, that's right. What compromises do I have come on John I compromise

you compromise everybody out there compromises every day you know it

you go to reinstate him or not

no, you know what I believe in God

but it's the biggest part of who Brady is and I respect him for it.

It's the reason he's able to reach so many of the students

you know what I'm done this is

John John

would say

it's fine hombre

Bobby Ryan saves the earth

mystery

goddess

Hey that is enough who did just quit

that's just not right

Wow, really, and Livingston gone on the same day.

Nice work gracia

You little chase.

She's right. If I would have just kept quiet

none of this would have happened.

You know? Sometimes it's better off keeping your big mouth shut.

You're the one with the big mouth.

Excuse me. You heard me. All Grace did was tell the truth.

You're scheming conniving, jealous.

I mean, you made Mr. Brady lose his job.

And use Amy as a pawn.

Amy You're so much better than that.

You really are.
