Scene Four

(JOAN is walking home from school. The wind begins to pick up just as RYAN comes into view)

JOAN: Oh God…

RYAN: Oh, hello Joan.

JOAN: Get away from me.

RYAN: Come on now Joan, I'm not a bad guy.

JOAN: I know what you did.

RYAN: Really? So tell me what did I do?

JOAN: You burnt down the synagogue!

RYAN: And what proof do you have?

JOAN: er…

RYAN: You don't have any…and that's because I didn't do it. Joan, just because you don't like me, doesn't mean I'm a bad guy.

(RYAN walks past her, the wind gusting behind him)

JOAN: (Calling after him) And seriously, what's with the wind?

(RYAN then waves his hand in the air and it begins to down pour.)

JOAN: JESUS CHRIST

CUTE BOY GOD: He's not coming yet, Joan.

JOAN: What?

CUTE BOY GOD: My son. He's not coming back yet…well technically it was me, but really only I understand the concept of the Trinity.

JOAN: I didn't mean that.

CUTE BOY GOD: Then why did you say his name?

JOAN: Because I was using your name in vein.

CUTE BOY GOD: I know, anyways, I want you to make your confirmation.

JOAN: I thought that was my mom's thing.

CUTE BOY GOD: It is, I want you to make it too. You're going to be defending your faith soon, on a larger level than ever before, and I want you to know what it is that you believe in, and do not believe in.

JOAN: Why did you choose me?

CUTE BOY GOD: Cause I felt like it. Go to St. Matthew's Church and sign up for Confirmation classes.
