BACK DESIGN 5'2m0f Some last minute design changes for creation GABE --- Lord?.... Jesus?..... Before you start the creation I have some design changes..... Lord? Where are you? JESUS -- (from afar) Let there be light. GABE --- Oh, no he's already started. Jesus.... JESUS -- Yes, Gabriel. GABE --- Lord, I hope I'm not too late. JESUS -- I call this DAY. How do you like it? GABE --- It's kind of bright. Listen, Lord, I have some design.... JESUS -- And I call... this.... night. Nifty huh? GABE --- Now we can't see the blueprints here. JESUS -- Let there be light again. There. Is that better for you, Gabriel? GABE --- Better. Yes. Lord, we really have to talk. JESUS -- I like day best, don't you? GABE --- Yes, day is nice. But.... JESUS -- Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from the clouds. I'm going to call it SKY. How do you like it? GABE --- Blue. Very Nice. But listen before you go much further, you really should look at my analysis.... JESUS -- Let the water under the sky be gathered in one place and let dry ground appear. Look, there's the land and there's the seas. GABE --- Yes, land and sea, very nice, but what I wanted to talk to you about.... JESUS -- It is good. I like it. Maybe a little vegetation... And maybe a few million stars in the sky. GABE --- Stars, what stars? JESUS -- Oh, you can only see them at night. Here. GABE --- Oh, please don't turn the light out ag.... yes, now I see them. Now, about my analysis... JESUS -- Now a big sun and a little moon, and the four seasons.... GABE --- Yes, well, this is all very nice but.... JESUS -- Now a few billion creatures for the sea and few million more on the dry la..... GABE --- Creatures! Wait, Lord! It was the creatures that I wanted to talk to you about. JESUS -- Alright, Gabriel, let's hear your analysis, but make it snappy, I'm on a tight schedule here. GABE --- Well, first of all, it's about your list of creatures. JESUS -- Yes. GABE --- Well, you've included fleas and ticks. JESUS -- Yeah, great, isn't it? GABE --- Yes, but none of the other creatures are going to like them. What good are they? JESUS -- It's a joke. GABE --- A joke. JESUS -- Yeah, wait till you see what a dog does to get rid of them. And now the creatures for the dry la.... GABE --- Wait! Lord! That's not all! JESUS -- What is it now, Gabriel? GABE --- It's about the last two creature on your list, the HUMAN BEINGS. JESUS -- Yeah, I'm making them in my own likeness. So? GABE --- So, the specification says that you're going to give them a free will. Do you know what that means? JESUS -- Yes. It means that when I tell them not to eat the fruit, they'll go ahead and eat it anyway. GABE --- You know that they'll disobey and you want to give them free will anyway?! JESUS -- Sure. Why not? GABE --- Well, if I knew my creations would disobey me, I'd die. I'd just die! JESUS -- I will. ©2013 Bob Snook. Conditions for use: Do not sell any part of this script, even if you rewrite it.
