Ruth Cavanaugh
- Ruth Cavanaugh: It would be bad luck for a guest to leave our table early on the night of the harvest celebration.
- Lois Lane: Oh. As long as we hit the road as soon as we're finished. I would love to stay and see the festivities one day. I bet that's a lot of fun.
- Joseph Cavanaugh: Fun has nothing to do with it. We glorify the day we were shown the Lord's sign.
- Lois Lane: What exactly... was the sign?
- Joseph Cavanaugh: A fire came from the heavens to tear down our village.
- Ruth Cavanaugh: And our daughter, Esther, was taken from us. She was... ringin' the town bell to warn everyone of the danger. She was struck down where she stood.
- Lois Lane: Oh, I am so sorry. That's awful.
- Joseph Cavanaugh: Before that, we suffered a terrible drought and years of bad crops. People were hungry and sick. But our daughter gave her life so that we could all prosper.
- Charlotte Cavanaugh: Ever since, our crops have been bountiful, and our people never get sick.
- Joseph Cavanaugh: Amen.
- Lois Lane: And you think this happened because your daughter died. I'm pretty sure that didn't make it into the... Good Book I read.
- Joseph Cavanaugh: I don't expect you to understand. You're not a Believer. But every year since her death, we have offered our Lord a sacrifice. And he has rewarded us.
