  • Woman: May I help you?
  • Mark: Hello, Bank?
  • Woman: Yes.
  • Mark: Yeah, hi.
  • Mark: What do I do about checks that are coming to my home for someone who moved months ago?
  • Woman: Okay.
  • Mark: You know, cancelled checks and whatnot, here.
  • Woman: Uh... you... uh... uh... you could either put "return to sender" and just drop 'em in a mail slot, and it'll return them to the bank.
  • Mark: I'm seeing, too, how much they got in their account.
  • Mark: Not all that much.
  • Woman: Sir, if you come to the bank, just... you know, drop it off here.
  • Mark: Yeah, I don't live that close to the place, but, uh...
  • Woman: Just wait on the front.
  • Woman: Return to sender, and then they should return them.
  • Woman: turn it, you know, right to the post of the addresses up on the upper part of the envelope.
  • Mark: Yeah, it'll come back to you guys.
  • Mark: Uh-huh.
  • Mark: All right.
  • Mark: But you'll keep sending me these statements, checks, and whatnot.
  • Woman: No, because once we get the back, you know, that they don't live there, then we will, you know, cancel that address.
  • Mark: Ah, you'll stop sending it to me?
  • Mark: Would that be the Christian thing to do to return it to you?
  • Mark: I mean, I could throw it in the trash, too, but what would be the Christian thing to do,
  • Mark: them?
  • Woman: Well, you know, the best...
  • Mark: Jesus, I think, would...
  • Mark: Yeah.
  • Woman: ...and if the country would have it, we would have it.
  • Mark: Okay, these things are starting to come, and there's no money in them, but they're canceled checks, and I'm sure if they want them.
  • Mark: So if I could read just a couple passages from the Bible to you here, that might kind of, you know, seal this agreement to us.
  • Mark: It's glory be the day that our Christian saviors come forth from the Holy Land and bring us good news about our Savior of the Lord Jesus Christ.
  • Mark: Do you think this woman is a Christian woman?
  • Mark: I mean, should I even bother returning her check to her? Who knows what she could be, you know?
  • Woman: Well, that's something you would have to be.
  • Woman: have to decide. You either return it to the bank or you can destroy them.
  • Mark: Is it a Christian bank?
  • Woman: Yeah.
  • Mark: It is a Christian bank? Okay. Now, there are several other passages that I think, you know,
  • Mark: pretty much wrap up this whole check ordeal.
  • Mark: Frankly, I've got a stack of them here, and I don't know what really to do with them.
  • Mark: But I tell you, they're trash them or return them. So the blank lamb is coming forth to,
  • Mark: you know, wash away the sins. So the blank is what you need to. So the blank is what you need to.
  • Mark: fill in now. So I'll ask you a passage you're doing. You'll just fill the blank
  • Mark: and I'll decide whether I need the returnees. So it would be the blank lamb.
  • Mark: It's innocent. No, no. Well, you're close though. You're close though. Think of blood and
  • Mark: that nonsense. The blank lamb. I guess slaughtered or? All you're close. You've got the first letter
  • Mark: for the first word, the word S is right. The blank lamb.
  • Mark: Yeah, no, no, no, don't give up. No, because you're obviously a good student in the Bible.
  • Mark: It ends with an L, S, and it ends with an L.
  • Woman: I really don't know.
  • Mark: No, you just keep go--
  • Mark: No, no, that's okay.
  • Mark: Because, you know, we're talking Jesus.
  • Mark: I'm sure that woman is a good Christian herself, and she'll, you know, understand.
  • Mark: You might want to relate the conversation we're having with her, too.
  • Mark: So you're almost right.
  • Mark: So S and think of blood.
  • Mark: Blank lamb.
  • Mark: Starts with an S, ends with an L.
  • Mark: Four syllables.
  • Woman: I really can't think right now. I...
  • Mark: Well, you know, just take your time.
  • Mark: Just know, you got it.
  • Woman: ...because I have a customer, I can't...
  • Mark: I understand.
  • Mark: I could talk to the customer about these same issues...
  • Woman: No, I can.
  • Woman: I put one with the customer.
  • Mark: Okay, can I give you a multiple choice then?
  • Mark: We'll wrap this thing up real quick.
  • Mark: It would be either surreptitious, serendipity, or sacrificial?
  • Woman: It would be sacrificial.
  • Mark: Very good, sacrificial lamb.
  • Mark: Let me just, I just go one more passage.
  • Mark: Just let me read this one more passage.
  • Mark: I'll put this whole lot of checks right back in the mail to you.
  • Mark: Can I do that?
  • Woman: Fine.
  • Mark: Okay.
  • Mark: He spaketh not unto thee.
  • Mark: Comeeth forth from the Holy Land to bring us the news.
  • Mark: Say not unto him that the blank of Jesus washes away all of our sins.
  • Mark: Okay, now that's your blank again.
  • Mark: That's your love.
  • Mark: No, but you're close.
  • Mark: Think of washes away.
  • Mark: What would be blank washes away?
  • Mark: The crucifixion, the whole ordeal.
  • Mark: Think of the whole scene.
  • Mark: Don't keep the woman waiting.
  • Mark: The blank of Jesus.
  • Mark: What would wash away sins to purify?
  • Woman: The blood, I guess.
  • Mark: Yeah! Yeah, that's right.
  • Mark: Very good.
  • Mark: That's very good.
  • Mark: Okay.
  • Mark: Let me just read one more paragraph.
  • Mark: from the Bible to you.
  • Woman: Okay, yeah, well, I really have to finish with this customer right now.
  • Mark: Okay, so what would you rather have?
  • Mark: Something from Psalms, Hebrews, or...
  • Woman: [sigh] I really don't know.
  • Mark: No, I mean, you could pick any one at all.
  • Woman: I know, but like right now, I have this customer that's waiting.
  • Mark: I could just go ahead and choose something from Proverbs, if you'd like.
  • Woman: Fine.
  • Mark: Okay.
  • Mark: He's saying that's under him, have us not speak with forked tongue, unto the less Jesus will pray for thine Savior and soul.
  • Mark: Okay, blank.
  • Mark: So what would you fill in at the end of that?
  • Mark: in order to express that.
  • Woman: Amen.
  • Mark: Well, I guess all amen would work.
  • Mark: Okay, good.
  • Mark: Now, I have your mailing address there.
  • Mark: Can I mail you some literature and some other things,
  • Mark: and perhaps you could have joined one of our prayer meetings?
  • Mark: Fine.
  • Mark: Okay.
  • Mark: Can I send tracks and literature to the...
  • Mark: Can I pass them out at the bank?
  • Mark: If I can come down the...
  • Woman: No, we're not allowed to pay us out.
  • Mark: It's a Christian bank.
  • Woman: But we still can't pass out literature.
  • Woman: Are we only passed out literature that?
  • Woman: The literature that contains right to the bank.
  • Mark: Okay.
  • Woman: I have to pay out any other letter.
  • Mark: Are there any other?
  • Mark: any crucifix or anything hanging up in the bank?
  • Mark: Can I bring them, nail them up?
  • Woman: No.
  • Mark: Could I... just in the entrance of the door?
  • Woman: No.
  • Mark: I'll just, I...
  • Mark: You know, it'll be clear.
  • Mark: I'll do a loose sight cross.
  • Mark: It's no problem.
  • Woman: No.
  • Mark: You know, wouldn't you feel better walking in every morning if you had that hangin'?
  • Woman: Well, the thing is, it's not permitted in the bank.
  • Mark: How about a lamb? How about just a lamb?
  • Mark: I mean, I could give you some more lamb questions, but how about if I just
  • Mark: bring something that represents stuff?
  • Woman: No, we're not allowed to have anything hanging.
  • Mark: A thorny crown.
  • Mark: You can pin it up to the wall.
  • Woman: You see, none of that is permitted.
  • Mark: Let me read a couple more references.
  • Woman: I have to wait on this.
  • Woman: ...she's been sitting here.
  • Mark: Is she, what she went alone?
  • Mark: If she doesn't have Jesus on her side, she won't get a penny.
  • Woman: I'm sorry, but I have to.
  • Mark: Ask her, she's got Jesus on it.
  • Woman: I'm sorry, I can't ask questions like that of customers...
  • Mark: Ask her, I'll give her lamb questions.
  • Mark: What do you need?
  • Woman: I cannot ask questions of a customer at my desk, like that kind of question.
  • Mark: Ask her, but how do you know?
  • Mark: Maybe she wants to hear it.
  • Woman: I'm sorry, but we're not allowed to.
  • Mark: Her... her life might be... uh, at such a point...
  • Woman: Uh, no... sir, I'm sorry, but I can't do these kind of things with the customer.
  • Woman: I'm sorry, I have to go to my customer.
  • Mark: Lord. Let me just say a prayer. I'll say one prayer
  • Mark: and I'll let you go, okay?
  • Mark: Hello?
  • Woman: Hello?
  • Mark: Yeah, just five secs... okay?
  • Mark: I just have only the best intentions for you.
  • Mark: I want you to go to heaven. I want your family to be
  • Mark: blessed by Jesus and God.
  • Woman: Okay. No, I have to go to my customer.
  • Mark: You... don't... don't miss out on the blessing. This whole call will not be for naught.
  • Mark: Please, just five seconds. Don't, please don't go to hell.
  • Woman: I'm already.
  • Mark: The devil is looking down right now. Just let me say,
  • Mark: Oh, dear Lord, please help this young woman,
  • Mark: allow her to see her to go to heaven and have everything washed and cleansed of her sins.
  • Mark: That's all I needed to say to you.
  • Mark: How do you feel now?
  • Woman: I have to go to my customer.
  • Mark: Well, just tell me how you feel. I want to make sure I helped.
  • Woman: I have this customer that has to be waited on.
  • Mark: Okay, I'll tell you what.
  • Mark: God bless you.
  • Mark: You are terrific and you're professional.
  • Mark: And the Lord knows that, and your customers will appreciate that,
  • Mark: and they'll see that you give excellent service.
  • Mark: God bless you.
  • Woman: Thank you.
  • Mark: Good day.
