I can't quit. I've been quitting on you for too long. I've been quitting on this church. You deserve better. You -- you deserve... you deserve a good preacher. You deserve a good preacher, and -- and that's what you're gonna get. As of today... as of right now, I'm going to fight. I'm going to do what all good preachers have done since the Serpent and Man's Fall -- pray for the sinner. Offer peace to the restless. Avenge the innocent. Cool the wrathful. Welcome those who are lost. And last but not least... speak forth the Word of God. For all this, I am responsible. I am that preacher. This is my answer. This is why I've come home. To save you.

It feels like... there's a big blender in my gut. And inside that blender, there's everything. Love... hate... fire, ice... polonium, ice cream, tarantulas -- everything. All of God's creation... inside of me. You know that kind of crazy? I didn't think so.

I told you I was coming for you Eugene, and I'm coming right now!

How can you say there's no plan, Cassidy? Angels. Angels, Heaven, and Hell -- you've seen it. You've seen it's real. It's real, and it has a reason. And it's God's plan. If his reason, if his judgment is to send one more sinner, one more lost soul into the fire, what can I do? Except stand aside... and watch him burn.
