Reva: Ooh, hello. You signed "member of the clergy."

Josh: Yeah, I know. It's weird. I don't know why I did it. But I do know that I'm here and I was talking to this kid about how he just needs more faith in his life.

Reva: Like what, you want to work for the church?

Josh: ( Laughing ) No. No, no, no, that's crazy. I mean, if nothing else, I have zero experience in that kind of thing.

Reva: Oh, well, I don't know. You've always acted like you thought you were a saint. ( Laughs )

Josh: ( Laughing )

Rick: Beth, look at me. We've known each other for a very long time. I saw the look on your face when you heard I was the dad.

Beth: I was shocked.

Rick: No, Beth, come on. It was much more than that. This is exactly what you wanted.

Josh: Reva and I uh... I've been unfaithful to Cassie.

Ruthledge: I see.

Josh: While I was in prison, in the conjugal visit room.

Ruthledge: And Cassie doesn't know?

Josh: No. I don't want to hurt her.

Ruthledge: And you're wondering when and if you should break the news?

Josh: I don't see that I have a choice. I mean, I can't not tell her something like this and still be the kind of person that I hope to be.

Ruthledge: Josh, there are no easy answers.

Josh: Oh, boy! ( Laughs ) How did I know you were going to say that, huh?

Ruthledge: You know, it would be presumptuous of me to say what God would or wouldn't want you to tell Cassie. Or that by being honest with her, it is somehow a prerequisite for a career in the church. But I will tell you this: When you're facing a burden like this, it is the kind of thing that can make you-- make the right path seem a little more difficult to find.

Josh: The right path?

Ruthledge: You can't run to the church every time that you do something wrong, when you make a mistake, to have it ease your guilt. All of the good deeds in the world aren't going to make up for it. But if telling Cassie about you and Reva helps-- well, it helps you to forgive yourself, maybe it's a step in the right direction.
