SAMPLE

Jonesy starts sifting through a bag of corn.

JONESY
This ain't hardly real corn. I'll give you a buck for the lot of it...

In front of a building (Tipton Tool & Supply), a man loads truck painted "Big Sky Farms." Ben reaches into his pocket and pulls out a photograph. It's of a woman, his mother, Flora, standing in front of a truck, possibly the same truck, for it too is marked "Big Sky Farms." The writing on the back of the photo says "H.S." and "FLD."

JONESY (CONT'D)
There ya go. Load it up back there.

MADDY (O.C.)
That's him, Grammy!

Ben turns around. It's MADDY CRANE, the crippled girl he healed back in Milfay. She's accompanied by her GRANDMOTHER.

GRANDMOTHER
You sure, baby?

MADDY
Yes, ma'am.

The grandmother walks over to Ben, clasps his hands and kneels on the ground.

GRANDMOTHER
Oh, glory be praised! He's the one! Saved my little Maddy! She was lame and he touched her and made her to walk. Oh, bless you sir!

Suddenly, more impoverished and sickly residents of Tipton appear. They surround Ben, putting their hands on him so he might heal them too. Ben struggles to get away from the mob.

BEN
C'mon, now c'mon.

GRAMMY
She's walkin' now 'cause you touched her with your hands!

BEN
Let me go, now. Jesus Christ, lady.
