Lou: Isn’t that what Drew has been trying to tell you?
Harry: But if Pastor Chet leaves the church, I mean . . . . what will he do?
Mary: For sure . . I mean, Pastor Chet could never handle a real job . . . so if he leaves the church what’s he and his family gonna do?
Drew: No, you don't understand . . .
Harry: Can’t you just see him trying to be a carpenter? . . . The only nails he would hit are on the ends of his fingers.
Mary: Or if he were to try to be a labourer, maybe dig ditches . . . the ditch would end up crooked as a snake!
Harry: Likely Pastor Chet’s poor wife Laurie will have to go out and get two fulltime jobs.
Lou: Guys, you’ve got it all wrong . . .
Mary: Luckily Laurie is very talented . . really good at crafts and stuff.
Harry: Yes, and Laurie does an awesome job of putting on skits and that sort of thing!
Mary: Yeh, remember that monologue Laurie did about the guy who couldn’t walk and chew gum at the same time?
Harry: Actually that wasn’t a skit, Laurie was just talking about Pastor Chet.
