lol. I love that goofy movie. I read once where Tom Hanks said he thought in time that movie would be seen in a better light (since it didn't make a lot at the box office.) It's fanciful and silly, but it's a great analogy for courage and God's will.

At one point, when the dipsy sister asks Joe if he's ever thought of killing himself.

ANGELICA: Did you ever think aboout killing yourself?

JOE: What? Why would you do that?

ANGELICA: Why shouldn't I?

JOE: Some things take care of themselves. They're not your job. Maybe they're not even your business.

I always liked those lines.

I love that scene and the other one you mentioned, too. We own a copy of the movie and watch it every few months or so.

It is indeed a great story about courage in surrendering to God's will - and the futility of worry.

In the last scene (I forgot the exact words) but she says something to Joe like "it's always going to be something with you, isn't it?" LOLOL!
