There are several in Land of Plenty
And here they are--because it's Saturday and I have nothing much to do. The letter mentioned is mostly a MacGuffin, so I don't consider it a significant spoiler.
Lana [on plane to LA]: Thank you, God. Thank You for bringing me home to my own country. It feels so remote. I've been away for so long. Thank you.
Lana [in room at mission, VO]: Mom's letter. God, help me deliver it after all these years. Help me do this for her. Help me find my uncle...wherever he is.
Lana [sitting up in bed. hums w/ song on her iPod]: "grateful to you." [laughs] You know how scared I am. I'm way out of my depths here. Yesterday I was still on the West Bank, and then...all of a sudden I'm here...in my own country, but it feels so strange. You gotta back me up on this one, God. Even if I'm wrong...I know that I need help. I know that I can't do it on my own. [thinking/VO] Do what on my own? I don't even know why I'm here in America. To deliver a letter? There must be more to it than that. It's not just for Mom. I don't have to be afraid. [whispers] I know that You're with me. I know that You're always there. With Your arms stretched out wide. Thank You, God. Thank You for this day. For this room. For my life, thank You.
There's a silent group prayer--three characters hold hands at a kitchen table. No words spoken before, during, or after.
Lana: Help us, God. Help us. Help us in our helplessness. Help my uncle in all his pain and suffering. Grant him peace.
