01:30Because the Lord is my shepherd, I have everything I need.
01:35He lets me rest in the meadow grass
01:40and leads me beside the quiet streams.
01:45What?
01:50Whoo-hoo-hoo!
01:55Whoo-hoo-hoo!
02:00Even when walking through the dark valley of death,
02:05I will not be afraid.
02:10Ahhhh!
02:15Ahhhh!
02:20Ahhhh!
02:25Ahhhh!
02:30Ahhhh!
02:35Ahhhh!
02:40You provide delicious food for me in the presence of my enemies.
02:46Your goodness and unfailing kindness shall be with me all of my life.
03:06You know, when you hit 14, something weird must happen to you,
03:10because my sister's been acting strange ever since.
03:13Not that she was ever normal to begin with.
03:18It's like, on your 14th birthday, you're grown up.
03:21You don't have to answer to anyone.
03:24Well, almost anyone.
03:29All right. The number for the banquet hall is...
03:32On the refrigerator.
03:34And the number for Dr. Walters is...
03:36On the refrigerator.
03:38And if anybody calls us, you tell them that we are...
03:41Oh, that's probably Carol and Renee.
03:43I'll get it.
03:45So another Friday night at my place.
03:48Mom and Dad were off to the State Press Club Awards,
03:51Lewis was spending the weekend,
03:53and...
03:55Dad was having tie problems.
03:57Our little secret.
04:00Hi!
04:01Hi!
04:02Are you sure you don't mind having Sarah watch Renee
04:04while we're at the banquet?
04:06Oh, no!
04:07No problem.
04:08What's one more munchkin?
04:10Munchkin?
04:11Us?
04:12Well, we're ready.
04:14I just hate that we're going to be two hours away.
04:16Everything's under control.
04:18Any final instructions?
04:19Yeah.
04:20Don't forget to take out the dog.
04:22For good.
04:23No, I just wish Grandma and Jamie could have waited another day
04:27before going to visit Aunt Marie in Columbus.
04:29Please, Mother, I'm not a child.
04:31Please, Mother, I'm not a child!
04:34That's one.
04:36Well, it's obvious you kids are going to get along just great.
04:39Good night, everybody.
04:40We love you.
04:41We care about you.
04:42And now we're leaving you.
04:44Carol.
04:46Goodbye, Renee.
04:47Now you mind Sarah.
04:48Okay, Mom.
04:49Bye.
04:50Look at the awards!
04:52Now listen up.
04:54Let's go over Sarah's list of ground rules.
04:56Number one, don't bother me.
04:59Number two, stay off the phone.
05:02Stay off the phone.
05:04And number three, I'm not going to spend all night playing referee.
05:08So try and act a little more mature than usual.
05:11Basically, do whatever I say whenever I say it.
05:15Any questions?
05:16Good.
05:17I want a nice, calm, peaceful evening.
05:20With Sarah in charge,
05:23Lewis and I thought we should treat her with respect.
05:33I think I forgot to give them the Murphy's phone number.
05:37You gave them everybody's phone number.
05:39Next time, you might as well just hand her the phone book.
05:42They'll be fine.
05:43Don't worry.
05:44Oh, you're right.
05:45You're right.
05:46I should just forget about it and enjoy myself.
05:49You're right.
05:50You're right.
05:51You're right.
05:52You're right.
05:53You're right.
05:54You're right.
05:55You're right.
05:56You're right.
05:57You're right.
05:58You're right.
05:59You're right.
06:00You're right.
06:01I should just forget about it and enjoy myself.
06:03So, have you got your acceptance speech all memorized?
06:07What acceptance speech?
06:09You know, the one you were practicing in the shower.
06:11Fellow journalists, I...
06:13I prepared a few general comments, just in case.
06:17Well, you should have.
06:18You did tremendous work on that story.
06:22I agree.
06:28Where'd you bring this?
06:30Like rain?
06:35Yes!
06:36Yes!
06:37Yes!
06:38We did it!
06:39I'm melting!
06:41I'm melting!
06:48Now we're even.
06:50Truce, that's it.
06:51Practical joke hour is over.
06:53We're all even.
06:54Even?
06:55Hey, no way.
06:56I'm not moving till we get revenge.
06:58Would you rather have revenge or brownies and ice cream in the living room?
07:02Sorry, buddy.
07:04She'd gone too far this time.
07:07She'd have to apologize.
07:09Well, get lost.
07:10You're going to warp the linoleum.
07:12Sarah, just because you say it's over doesn't mean that it has to be over.
07:17I'm not just some little kid you can boss around.
07:19Yes, you are.
07:22I'm 11 years old.
07:24I'm sure 11 seems very old to you, but as far as the rest of the world is concerned, that makes you a kid.
07:33Like 14 makes you an adult.
07:40Why is it people always call it quits right before you get back at them?
07:44We need something really big to get even.
07:49What about water balloons?
07:51I asked for something really big.
07:54And all you can come up with is water balloons.
08:01Okay.
08:03Okay, let me think.
08:05Take your time.
08:08Of course, I'm going on vacation in June, so you might want to...
08:13It's just thunder.
08:15It's probably a long way off.
08:18All you have to do is count the seconds between the flashes of lightning and the thunder.
08:23And that's how many miles away the storm is.
08:26Okay?
08:29One one-thousand.
08:32Maybe we should check on everybody downstairs.
08:35Sometimes a sudden thunderstorm can be really scary.
08:38To some people.
08:40They probably appreciate a couple of men like us around.
08:46Hey, wait up!
08:49Oh, that's better.
08:51Hey, wait up!
08:54Hey, wait up!
08:56Hey, wait up!
08:58Hey, wait up!
09:01Oh, look at that! Wow!
09:04That's neat!
09:06What is your major malfunction?
09:10Nothing.
09:12I heard the thunder, and I thought you guys might be scared or something.
09:17Scared? Nah, Nick, we're used to your face by now.
09:22Good one.
09:31It's busy.
09:33We'll try again.
09:35It's only a little rain. They're going to be okay.
09:43I'll keep trying.
09:46Nick, get off the phone!
09:48You're not going to win any stupid concert tickets, so quit calling every two seconds!
09:53I might win. Somebody's got to win.
09:56Even if you did win, Mom wouldn't let you go, and I'm not dragging you to some dumb concert.
10:01Listen, I wouldn't go with you if you were the last person on Earth.
10:08A tornado watch has been issued for Eastfield and Ashton counties until midnight tonight.
10:13Conditions are favorable for the formation of a tornado.
10:16The National Weather Service urges residents in these areas to seek shelter and be on the alert for high winds.
10:22And now, back to tonight's feature, Gone With the Wind.
10:25I don't like what you said, Beth. Let's watch something else.
10:33What's with you?
10:35First we're munchkins, then we're melted. Now we're waiting on a tornado.
10:39What's next, flying monkeys?
10:43Go away!
10:45But, but, we've come to see the Lizard of Ooze, to seek shelter from the storm.
10:50We?
10:53Go away!
10:55But, but, we've come to see the Lizard of Ooze, to seek shelter from the storm.
11:00We?
11:12Oh, brother.
11:14Oh, brother.
11:21Uh, what do you guys want?
11:23Oh, mighty lizard, we're here to seek shelter from the dreaded storm.
11:29Uh, look, I will help you guys, but first you gotta do me a little favor.
11:34Oh, I know. You want us to bring you the broom of the sticky winch of the, of the, uh...
11:43Rest, you fool, rest!
11:46But I'm not even tired.
11:49Uh, look, I don't want no broom.
11:52I, I, hey, that's it. I want the eye of the storm.
11:57Yeah, you bring me the eye and, you know, you got yourself a deal.
12:02Look up there.
12:06No, not there. Over there.
12:10Uh, I should have just stuck with a broom.
12:22Gasp!
12:36No! No! No!
12:39No!
12:43Mickey! Mickey!
12:45What?
12:46You okay?
12:48Yeah, sure. I, I was just admiring the view.
13:00Now, the phone's dead. I can't get through.
13:02What did he say?
13:03It's a mess. The storm has caught everyone by surprise.
13:06The power and the phone lines are down all over.
13:09Herb from Channel 7 just told me they have sighted a tornado north of Eastfield.
13:14Oh, great. And the kids are there all alone.
13:16Well, there's gotta be some way to get through.
13:18Not for a few hours, at least. The police won't even let the minicams out.
13:23I can't believe this. We're at a press club banquet.
13:26Two hundred professionals who spend their lives communicating with other people,
13:29and we can't get a message a hundred miles.
13:31David, we've gotta do something. Will the kids even know what to do?
13:37I hope so. We can't do anything till it blows over.
13:43I guess the only thing we can really do is keep praying.
13:53That's something I haven't done in a while.
14:07Look at that.
14:10A tornado warning is now in effect for Eastfield and Ashton counties until 2 a.m.
14:15Several reported sightings have been verified, and residents should move to shelter immediately.
14:21Stay tuned for further developments.
14:23We'll be right back with our Friday night million dollar movie, Summer Breeze.
14:29What is it with this wind thing?
14:31Let's change the channel.
14:32We're history.
14:33Aren't we supposed to go down to the basement?
14:36Great idea. I checked it. It's flooded.
14:40Anywhere you are, it's gonna be flooded.
14:42We'll be okay. We'll just stay here in the middle of the house.
14:45I heard somewhere that we're supposed to hide in a ditch.
14:48Great idea. Take a camera. Maybe you'll get some great aerial shots of the neighborhood.
14:53I think we're supposed to open a window.
14:55No, open a door.
14:57No, open two windows.
14:59One on each side of the house.
15:01Open the refrigerator. I'm gonna put the ice cream away.
15:04Oh, I'll help.
15:13I've never been this close to a tornado before.
15:16Do you think we're in trouble?
15:18No, we'll be fine.
15:20They tell us one's gonna hit the ceiling.
15:26I think they're telling us something.
15:29I'm gonna call Mom and Dad.
15:40The phone's dead.
15:42Great.
15:47Probably just the phone lines are down.
15:49The storm will blow over, and Mom and Dad will be home.
15:52Or maybe when the tornado hits, it'll just drop us off at the basement and save my trip.
15:57They don't have tornadoes where my dad lives in California.
16:00No, they have earthquakes.
16:02Come on, everybody. We're all a little scared.
16:04Let's just relax.
16:08Tornadoes.
16:10Oh!
16:22Lord, please help me to trust you and not be afraid.
16:31It's okay, everybody.
16:33Sarah, go get Dad's camping lantern from the hall closet.
16:37I'll get the flashlight in the kitchen.
16:39Don't stay here.
16:41This is really scary.
16:43Tell me about it.
16:45I'd feel a lot safer if our parents were here.
16:47Who wouldn't?
16:55Dad always says that God is bigger than our fears.
16:58That's right.
17:00At least we know that God is with us.
17:03Yeah.
17:05You don't believe that, Louis?
17:07I don't know.
17:09I guess.
17:11Look, I know that we're all scared.
17:14But God really is with us.
17:17Nick, remember that house we used to live in on Beachwood?
17:21Oh, yeah, the one with the big basement?
17:23It probably wasn't flooded.
17:25We had this big heating grate in the hallway.
17:28And every time the heat came on, it would make this creaking sound.
17:32I'd lie in my bed and just imagine that the creaking was someone coming down the hallway.
17:38Our house creaks all the time.
17:40Mom says it's just settling.
17:43Well, you see, it was all my imagination.
17:46There wasn't anyone in the hall.
17:48It was just an old heating vent.
17:50You know, it's funny, but now that I think about it,
17:54I never really heard the vent when Dad was home.
17:57You know, neither did I.
18:00I never noticed the creaking sound until my parents got divorced.
18:05Listen, I know that the storm outside is real.
18:09But maybe we're so scared because we think we're on our own.
18:14But we're not.
18:16So what you're saying is that God's watching over us right now?
18:22I've seen pictures where tornadoes drove straws in the trees.
18:27That might happen here.
18:29Or could just all blow over.
18:31No matter what happens,
18:34we just have to have faith that God will give us the strength to make it through.
18:39You know, I've never really thought about it much.
18:42But you've got a point.
18:55I'll get the branch out.
18:56Lewis, there's some cardboard in the kitchen closet.
18:59See if that'll cover it.
19:00Renee, use the bucket to put under that leak.
19:03And Sarah, sweep up all this glass.
19:05Let's do it.
19:27You'll never be alone
19:30That's what I tell myself every day
19:33Just when I need a friend
19:37You're always there
19:39And I can feel
19:42You're leading the way
19:50When the storm is closing in
19:53And I'm alone in the dark
19:56I remember that you're near
19:59And we never were far apart
20:03So when the winds start to blow
20:06And I'm afraid of what we'll be
20:09I just call your name and then
20:13You're there with me
20:15You're there with me
20:19You'll never be alone
20:22That's what I tell myself every night
20:25You're never on your own
20:29Though I know it's true
20:31It's hard to see
20:34There is a light
20:37You'll never be alone
20:40That's what I tell myself every day
20:44Just when I need a friend
20:48You're always there
20:50And I can feel
20:52You're leading the way
21:10I just call your name and then
21:14You're there with me
21:16You're there with me
21:19You'll never be alone
21:22That's what I tell myself every night
21:25You're never on your own
21:28Sarah? Nick?
21:30Renee!
21:32Oh, for heaven's sake!
21:35Renee, are you okay?
21:37The roads were closed, so we couldn't get through.
21:39We were so worried about you guys.
21:41Hey, wait for me!
21:44Come here, let me look at you.
21:47Dad, look at the window.
21:49Did anybody get hurt?
21:51No, we were on the other side of the room.
21:53You repaired this, Nick?
21:55Well, good work, son.
21:57It was incredible. He almost got sucked out of the room.
22:00He did not!
22:02Well, it blew out all the candles.
22:05We were really scared, but we all stuck together.
22:08We're very proud of you, kid.
22:10Yeah, they handle it a lot better
22:12Than some of the people at the banquet.
22:14Lewis, we better call your parents.
22:16They're probably worried.
22:18I can't wait to tell them about this.
22:26Can I come in for a second?
22:29Sure.
22:34I've been on your case a lot lately.
22:40Okay, basically what I wanted to say
22:43was that you were a lot of help last night.
22:46I mean, it was pretty scary,
22:49but you really helped a lot,
22:52and I don't know what I would have done without you.
22:55You really mean that?
22:57Yeah.
22:59I guess you're not such a little kid after all.
23:02Thanks.
23:05Boy, this place is a mess.
23:08But, you know, there's no place like home.
23:11There's no place like home.
23:14There's no place...
23:16Whoa!
23:18You know, when I think about it,
23:21I've really got it pretty good.
23:23I live in a nice house.
23:25I've got parents who love me,
23:27two sisters who don't bug me too much,
23:30and friends I can count on.
23:32But then something like this comes along,
23:35and I realize how much I take it all for granted,
23:38how often I take God for granted.
23:41I still appreciate this,
23:44but let's face it, I owe her one.
23:47Nicholas, get that water balloon out of the house
23:50and leave your sister alone!
23:52Ah!
23:55So many times it seems
23:59I'm out on my own
24:02Then I think how close you are
24:05And I'm sure I'm never alone
24:09So when I feel alone
24:12I'm sure I'm never alone
24:16So when I feel alone
24:19I'm sure I'm never alone
24:23So when I feel I'm overcome
24:26And there's no way to get free
24:29I just call your name and add
24:33You're there with me, you're there with me
24:38You'll never be alone
24:42That's what I tell myself every night
24:45You're never on your own
24:49Though I know it's true
24:51It's hard to see
24:53That there is a light
24:57You'll never be alone
25:00That's what I tell myself every day
25:03Just when I need a friend
25:07You're always there
25:09And I can feel
25:12You're leading the way
25:17When the storm is closing in
25:22And I'm alone in the dark
25:25I remember that you're near
25:28And we're never far apart
25:32Soon the winds start to blow
25:35And I'm afraid of what we'll be
25:38I just call your name and add
25:43You're there with me, you're there with me
25:48You'll never be alone
25:51That's what I tell myself every night
25:55You're never on your own
25:58Though I know it's true
26:01It's hard to see
