Todd Burpo

[edit]
  • [first lines of the movie] Is heaven a hope? Or as real as the earth and sky? I once asked my grandfather that question. And he said by the time he knew the answer, it would be too late for him to tell me. The day would come when I asked that question again, staring into the eyes of my son.
  • Don't you take my son!

Jay Wilkins

  • It's a loan from a friend to a friend.

Dialogue

[edit]
Todd Burpo: When Jay offered us a house as a part of my salary, he never mentioned the railroad.
Sonja Burpo: I like the rumble. It's romantic.
Todd Burpo: How tight are we this month?
Sonja Burpo: No, don't talk about money.
Todd Burpo: Slim Forrest couldn't pay for those garage doors. He donated some carpet for the church instead.
Sonja Burpo: But he said he had the cash when he placed the order.
Todd Burpo: Um... Things changed.
Sonja Burpo: You had a rough day, didn't you?
Todd Burpo: As long as I'm with you, I'm not afraid.
Sonja Burpo: You're good, but let me tell you something. The next time I'm practicing your favorite hymn and you howl like a dog, I'm going to whip you like a dog. Do you hear me?
Todd Burpo: Doesn't sound so bad.
Jay Wilkins: How are you doing, buddy?
Todd Burpo: Good. How are you?
Jay Wilkins: How's that Colton doing today? Is he back to torturing his sister?
Todd Burpo: Yes. I need some advice, smart advice.
Jay Wilkins: Well, I am not smart, so you came to the right guy.
Todd Burpo: I know that.
Jay Wilkins: Nothing but clumsy, inaccurate advice available here. I've been expecting to see you a little sooner.
Todd Burpo: What do you mean?
Jay Wilkins: Well, I'm your banker.
Todd Burpo: I didn't come here for a loan.
Jay Wilkins: Not the bank's money, just from a friend to a friend. Let me help you out, okay? Nobody would have to know.
Todd Burpo: I'd know. I never wanted to be the guy who stands up there in the pulpit asking people to give to charity when all he does is take it.
Jay Wilkins: It's not charity. It's a loan from a friend to a friend. I know you need the help. It's what real people do.
Todd Burpo: I don't.
Jay Wilkins: Well, then you didn't come here for smart advice. I don't think the church has kept your salary in line with the new members that you've brought in. I think you deserve a raise. Let me talk to the board, see what I can do.
Todd Burpo: I didn't come here for a raise, either.
Jay Wilkins: All right, good. I didn't want to ask them. What can I do for you?
Todd Burpo: It's Colton. He's been talking about this, uh... We ask these kids to believe this stuff and I don't even know if I believe it myself, Jay.
Jay Wilkins: What? [Todd's and Jay's cell phones both ring at once]'
Todd Burpo: Well, I thought that went well, huh? Nice view.
Sonja Burpo: Mmm... I love being up so high. [Colton suddenly interrupts them by turning on a fire siren]
Todd Burpo: Colton! Hey! I thought I asked you to stop playing with that!
Colton Burpo: [turns off the siren] I'm sorry, Dad!
Cassie Burpo: I told him not to, Dad!
Sonja Burpo: Half the church wants to stop feeling and start thinking. And the other half, they want the exact opposite.
Todd Burpo: [picks up the ringing cell phone] This is Todd. Yeah. [Colton sets off a fire truck horn] Let me call you back. [hangs up] That was the newspaper. They want to do an article about heaven.
Sonja Burpo: And?
Todd Burpo: And they want to interview Colton.
Sonja Burpo: And you think that's a good idea?
