Best scene in the movie "Evan Almighty"

Personally reckon this is the best scene in the movie "Evan Almighty"


At one point in the movie, God (Morgan Freeman) appears to Evan’s wife (Lauren Graham) as a restaurant waiter.
She is having trouble coming to grips with her husband’s calling as a modern day Noah and she blames him for humiliating and breaking up the family.
Then the conversation start:

Waiter(God): Excuse me, are you alright?
Wife: Yea…No!…Long Story
Waiter(God): But I like story. And I am very confident I am a story teller myself.
Wife: My Husband…did you heard of the New York Noar
Waiter(God): Hah..The guy building the ark
Wife: That’s him
Waiter(God): I love that story. Noar and the Ark. You know many people miss the point of the story, they think about God rap and anger. but they don’t know why god get angry.
Wife: So what is the story about then…the ark?
Waiter(God): Well…I think It is a Love Story about believing each other. You know the animals showed up in pairs. They stood by each other, side by side. Just like Noah and his family. Everybody entered the ark side by side.
Wife: But my husband told me God told him to do it. What do you do with that?

Waiter(God): "Sounds Like An Opportunity…Let me ask you something,
When you pray for patience, does God just give you patience?
Or does He give you opportunity to be patient?

When you pray for courage,
does He give you courage or opportunity to be courageous?

And, when you pray for your family to become closer,
does God just zap you with warm, fuzzy feelings
or does he give them opportunities to love each other?”


Waiter(God): Ok, i got a lot, a lot of people to serve. Enjoy.



Tot2day:
1. opportunities always come hidden as problems
2. You don't always get what you ask for directly, but the opportunity of how to get it.
3. No Pain, No Gain
4. If you are really so lucky to get what you wish for immediately or easily, it won't last for long. Because you will not cherish what you got.
5. Chinese old proverb - "Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime"
6. Love and trust your partner... even he/she has some kind of crazy idea sometime.
