... said, "Thy Soul." Thou art my Soul. SOUL: ... "Man." Soul Man! He's taking me. But it's got to do with you, too. MAN: He said he was just taking you! SOUL: He's taking you, too. Fool! MAN: He did not say me. He said you! SOUL: You dummy! I'm part o' you! MAN: Thou art not. I have not seen you before this day. SOUL: Well, whose fault is that? MAN: Not mine, I assure you. SOUL: I been here, Man. I been here. You just never wanted to kick it with me. MAN: Get away from ...
... swaying, enveloping. "And God said, 'Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.' " If you have a problem, make smaller problems out of it. Divide and conquer. Take it a little at a time. God was no dummy! Firmament. That's a dome. Above the spherical roof He made was half the swirling waters. The other half swelled at His feet as He stood admiring His handiwork. "I've divided it, but the mess is still there. I hope I haven't goofed up the children's ...
... stream. Everyone would think I slipped and fell when I tried to ford, or that I was caught in a flash flood. But I'd be free. God: Hey, idiot, I've got a stone for you! Jacob: Watch what you're doing. That almost hit me. God: Better duck, dummy, because here comes another one. You want to drown yourself, you're going to need more rocks than that. Jacob: Where the stranger came from I don't know but he began pelting me with all kinds of rocks and stones. And was calling me names and belittling me in ...
... baptized! What better way to prepare for the coming of the Messiah, the Son of God? A whole nation shaping up, and waiting to let God be their king! Jerry: Uh, Marshall, that's fairly vague. Marshall: No, it's not. A typical sermon would be like this: Hey, you dummies, what do you want? To stay out of hell? Is that why you came? What are you scared of? You believe in God, right? You show that off once in a while. I've seen you doing your religious bit, but you're still scared. You can't live with ...
... she's so excited and glad to be with everyone! MARCY: So's Uncle Charlie. But he gets so obnoxious, he ends up fighting with half the family or taunting the kids 'til they cry. (ALL agree and murmur to each other about the problem.) CAROL: They aren't dummies, you know. They hear the snide remarks behind their backs and feel the rejection when people leave the room. MAY: Okay, so what was that better nature? What did you do? CAROL: First I asked the Lord to shine through me and help me greet Aunt Del with a ...
... was so busy crying, and so sure he was dead, that I didn’t recognize him at first. I thought he must be one of the gardeners who take care of the tombs. Maria: And then? Magdalena: Then he said, "Woman, why are you weeping?" and I said, like a dummy, "Sir, if you know where they had laid him, tell me, and I will take him away." Joanna: And then? Magdalena: Then he said, "Mary!" and it was like the scales dropped from my eyes. I fell at his feet but he drew me up and told me to come ...
... . I'll tell you the truth. John, here is the one who looks like he's going to rule with the Master. JOHN: You see. I told you so. PETER: Nonsense. (PUSHING JOHN OUT OF THE WAY, GRABBING BOOK FROM JAMES) JAMES: Hey! JOHN: Let him alone. The big dummy. Look how unspiritual you are. The Master doesn't want a big oaf like you ruling in his kingdom. Mother assured James and me that we would both rule with the Master when he comes into his kingdom. PETER: (READING FROM BOOK) This is stupid. "John was closest to ...
... didn’t give us a hard time rounding them up. Shepherd 3: And just like the Angels said, we found the baby lying in a manger, with animals all around him, and he was all wrapped up like a mummy. Shepherd 2: That was the swaddling clothes, dummy! And, besides, his head wasn’t covered. Omar: Okay, okay, let’s cool it. Our “Shepherds Who Just Can’t Get Along” show is next week.
