105. God is a Girl - Leslie

• FADE IN:


• EXT. CITY PARK - EVENING


• AMBER and LUKE walk slowly across the grass of the park's large, central meadow.


• LUKE
• Please, you don't really have to do this.


• AMBER
• I do. I really, really do.


• LUKE
• But what if it's not Him? How do you know?


• AMBER
• Oh, it's Her for sure.


• LUKE
• See, you keep spouting heresy like that, the Fathers will kill you.


• AMBER
• I'm sure they're going to kill me anyway.


• LUKE
• How can you say that so calmly?


• AMBER
• Maybe because of me, some little girl will be inspired to stand up, and then another and another. Who knows what Her purposes are? But I trust Her.


• LUKE
• Can you just let go of those old fashioned ideas about equality? It's so 21st century, not to mention heretical.


• AMBER
• You're starting to repeat yourself.


• They find themselves at a corner of the park, packed with people crowded around various benches, on which speakers preach their many agendas.


• Heavily armed police officers pace the perimeter of the area.


• AMBER
• It's my street-corner prophet moment. All I ask is that you remember, and then tell your daughter, and make sure she tells her's. It's His will.


• LUKE
• He can't be both!


• AMBER
• Why not? Right...heresy.


• She claims space on an empty bench, and climbs onto it.


• A woman daring to take a speaker's bench elicits gasps from the crowd around her.


• AMBER
• I bring a message from God. She says "Repent!"


• The crowd roars in anger, drowning her words.


• Luke tries to protect her, but is shoved aside by the mob, who grasp for Amber.


• As she is pulled down by the crowd, aided by the two eager officers, she raises a fist in the air, and yells about the roar.


• AMBER
• God is a girl!


• She is pulled down by the mob and disappears under a wave of fists.


• FADE TO BLACK.
