PAC IV, 3

BRENAN: Hey Lord.

God: Hello friend. Had a good weekend?

BRENAN: The greatest.

God: It’s nice to be away from it all for a couple of days, isn’t it? I mean, your job and everything.

BRENAN: Sure is.

God: You like your job?

BRENAN: At the movie theatre? Yeah, it’s nice. Long hours but I like working at the movies.

God: Even with the price of popcorn?

BRENAN: I get mine for free.

God: Really? They make me pay.

BRENAN: (laughs) I love it. Then come to my counter next time.

God: Wouldn’t it be great to have a full-length PAC movie?

BRENAN: That’d be cool.

God: I wonder what would be in that movie?

BRENAN: Me too.

God: Well, then ask some of your fellow movie directors.

BRENAN: Holden’s the only one I know.

God: I’ll bet you know some others. . ask around. Ask some people some of the things they’ll remember about this weekend.

BRENAN: (You talk to three people ahead of time and tell them that you’ll be calling on them for them to talk about a real cool thing they saw or experienced this weekend. When they’re all done, you’ll say. “I guess that’d make a great movie, Lord.”)

God: Let’s see. . out at RMC where you work this weekend they’ve got Deadpool 2, Ocean’s 8 and Incredibles 2. You guys are really into numbers, aren’t you?

BRENAN: (smiles) I guess so.

God: But I’ve got a new title and it’s got a number, too.

BRENAN: What’s that?

God: Jesus One.

BRENAN: (a beat, then) I like that.

God: Me too. And I’ve heard that it’ll run forever.

BRENAN: Cool.

God: But the final scene. . .

BRENAN: Yeah?

God: That’s the best. And it’s coming up tonight at altar near you!

BRENAN: I love it.

God: Hey. . seriously. . the greatest stories of some people’s lives have started right where you’re standing. . . praying to me on the final night of PAC.

BRENAN: I know. Mine did.

God: And it’s in 3-D.

BRENAN: Better than that. It’s real.

God: So . . . you ready for a blockbuster tonight?

BRENAN: I’m ready. . . and Lord?

God: Yeah?

BRENAN: Thanks.

God: You got it, friend.

BRENAN: One more thing.

God: Yeah?

BRENAN: Come to my counter. I’ll slip you some free popcorn. (you exit)
