- You mind praying out loud, for both our meals?
- Lance's eyes pop open.
- LANCE
- Uh, sure.
- He leans towards Tim and speaks in a quiet voice.
- LANCE
- Father, thanks for friends and work and sharing food. Thanks for community. Bless this food, help it give us strength, Amen.
- TIM
- Amen.
- LANCE
- I didn't realize you were a believer.
- TIM
- I'm not, but you shouldn't be ashamed of what you believe, you don't have to look around and hide it. I just wanted to share your faith with you, experience what you believed for a moment. A holy moment, no?
- Lance looks at Tim, slightly stunned.
- Tim smiles at him; his radio beeps.
- KEY GRIP (VO)
- Hey, this is Erica for Tim.
- TIM
- Go for Tim.
- KEY GRIP (VO)
- Need you for a quick pow wow.
- TIM
- Copy, I'll be there in a sec.
- Tim nods to Lance.
- TIM
- Thanks for praying with me.
- He grabs his plate and walks briskly towards the main stage leaving Lance still staring in wonder at him.

This happened to me last night. I was out for dinner with my cousin and his girlfriend, both much older than me, neither religious, and as I was about to pray she asked if I'd pray for all of them. So I did. It was a cool moment.
