After falling in love in Paris, Marina and Neil come to Oklahoma, where problems arise. Their church's Spanish-born pastor struggles with his faith, while Neil encounters a woman from his childhood.

Anna: Life's a dream. In dream you can't make mistakes. In dream you can be whatever you want.
Father Quintana: We wish to live inside the safety of the laws. We fear to choose. Jesus insists on choice. The one thing he condemns utterly is avoiding the choice. To choose is to commit yourself. And to commit yourself is to run the risk, is to run the risk of failure, the risk of sin, the risk of betrayal. But Jesus can deal with all of those. Forgiveness he never denies us. The man who makes a mistake can repent. But the man who hesitates, who does nothing, who buries his talent in the earth, with him he can do nothing.
Marina: Love that loves us... thank you.
Father Quintana: You shall love, whether you like it or not.
Marina: I write on water what I dare not say.
Father Quintana: There is love that is like a stream that can go dry when rain no longer feeds it. But there is a love that is like a spring coming up from the earth. The first is human love, the second is divine love and has its source above.
Neil: What are you laughing at?
Jane: You.
Neil: Me?
Jane: You make me laugh. You make me happy.
Father Quintana: You have to struggle with yourself. You have to struggle with your own strength.
Marina: Newborn. I open my eyes. I melt. Into the eternal night. A spark. You got me out of the darkness. You gathered me up from earth. You've brought me back to life.
Father Quintana: Flood our souls with your spirit and life so completely that our lives may only be a reflection of yours. Shine through us.
Jane: Will you pray with me?
Neil: [voice over] I had no faith. You knew. Were you afraid?
Neil: My sweet love. At last. My hope. How I loved you...
