THE PATH SEASON 2 EPISODE 2
Cal:
If I could get your
attention, please.
Ladies and gentlemen,
please.
Now, don't worry, you
can all go back to drinking and complaining about the commute to your summer
homes in just a second.
I want to talk to you
for just a moment about the purpose of this evening, why you're here, other
than the fact that someone you consider socially desirable invited you.
Half a mile from here,
there are 30 young Novices sleeping on a concrete floor, dedicating themselves
to the social mission of our movement.
They are sacrificing
and slaving to make a haven for the homeless of this city, the sick, the
disabled, the forgotten, the people you walk past every day in the street and
avert your eyes.
We are intervening,
making a difference, saving lives.
It takes conscience.
It takes commitment.
An unwillingness to
turn away.
That's why I'm asking
you right now, all of you, to reach into your pockets and give.
Give deeply.
Consider … consider
how little that money means to you.
It's another status
handbag, some obscenely expensive bottle of wine you buy and show off at a
dinner party.
To the people we're
helping, it could mean the difference between life and death.
All right?
