David and God III, 1

DAVID: Hey, Lord!

GOD: David…good to see you, buddy.

DAVID: This is sort of new for me. …being up here like this. I’m not sure how I got here.

GOD: I picked you.

DAVID: Really?

GOD: I run this place. I can do that.

DAVID: Cool. But…I mean…why me? I look out there and there are so many good speakers…people who’ve been on stage.

GOD: Yes. Yes, there are.

DAVID: So…I mean why….why me?

GOD: You love me.

DAVID: That’s it?

GOD: That’s all I need. …just someone who loves me.

DAVID: But . . . well. If you say so.

GOD: (laughs) You remind me of another guy.

DAVID: Who?

GOD: David.

DAVID: I’m David.

GOD: So was he. He didn’t think he had any talent, didn’t consider himself a leader. .. all he did was love me with his entire heart.

DAVID: What happened to him?

GOD: I made him king.

DAVID: (a beat, then) Wow.

GOD: You’re standing there looking at lots of people who are afraid they don’t have enough talent….don’t have the right stuff to perform. . . who think they aren’t good enough.

DAVID: Yeah. And I guess that would be me, too.

GOD: That’s David…just like David.

DAVID: So…this weekend. . . . I mean….what do you want me to do?

GOD: Love me.

DAVID: That’s it?

GOD: That’s enough.

DAVID: I don’t know if I like this title, Lord. I don’t think I can handle any giants.

GOD: You only have one Goliath, David.

DAVID: ….and…that is?

GOD: Your fears. Look in your pocket.

DAVID: Huh?

GOD: Reach into your pocket.

DAVID: (reach into your pocket…pull out a rock and hold it up…make sure it’s big enough to be seen) A rock? How’d you do that?

GOD: I’m God. I’ve got all the moves. So….you ready?

DAVID: For what?

GOD: I didn’t ask that. You ready?

DAVID: (look at the rock, puts it into your pocket, smile) Yeah. (a beat, then) Yeah, I’m ready.

GOD: You got any idea what I’ve got for you this weekend?

DAVID: Not a clue.

GOD: Good. Let’s slay some giants.

DAVID: Cool. (exit)
