Saved! Page #4

Synopsis: Mary is a senior at American Eagle Christian High School in suburban Baltimore. She considers herself born again, despite the fact that her rebirth was at age three. Her best girlfriends are two classmates that comprise the Christian Jewels band with her. Hilary Faye is the alpha Christian, who outwardly is perfect, especially in her connection to God. And Veronica is ethnic Vietnamese who was adopted and thus saved by a black Christian couple. A third is Tia, who is generally an outsider in her geek status but who aspires to be in this Christian clique. Also within their social circle solely out of necessity is Hilary Faye's older brother Roland, who has been in a wheelchair since age nine after falling out of a tree, and who, out of family obligation Hilary Faye transports everywhere including to/from school. Beyond that transportation, Roland and Hilary Faye generally have disdain for each other. One of Hilary Faye's God driven missions for the year is to save Cassandra, a Jewish gi

to the kids instead of candy,

- Good one,

- That's awesome,

Hey, Iadies,

- Sorry, You got a second?

- Yeah,

Listen, I'm concerned about Mary,

Something's going on,

Yeah, me too,

Well, she's part of your posse,

and I think that you could help her,

I'm gonna need you to be a warrior

out on the front Iines for Jesus,

You mean Iike shoot her?

No, no, I was thinking

of something a Iittle Iess gangsta,

I need someone who's spiritually armed

to help guide her back to her faith,

to Iove and care

that only Jesus can supply,

- You down with that?

- Yeah, I'm down with that,

She's pretty vulnerable right now,

so I'm gonna need you to be extra gentle,

- Hurry! Hurry! Come on!

- I'm going! I'm going!

- Get her!

- Come on, Tia!

Stuff her in here!

Hurry up! Hurry Up!

In the name of Jesus Christ,

I command you,

Ieave the body of this servant of God,

You're performing

an exorcism on me?! Get off me!

Where are you going?

Get back here!

We've gotta

get rid of the evil in you,

- It's God's will!

- God's will?

- Christ died for your sins!

- Okay, wait a second,

Are you not gonna accept

our intervention?

You mean kidnapping? No!

You are backsliding

into the flames of hell,

You've become a magnet for sin,

We've all witnessed it,

Sure,

Veronica acting all pure,

What about Iast spring break

at the Promise Maker's rally?

You are making accusations

as we're trying to save your soul?

Mary, turn away from Satan,

Jesus--he Ioves you,

You don't know

the first thing about Iove,

I am filled with Christ's Iove!

You are just jealous

of my success in the Lord,

This is not a weapon, you idiot,

What, did they send you to

strap me on the back of your scooter?

Scooter?

Mary, this is a Vespa,

And I don't know

what you're talking about, Hop on,

I'd ratherwalk,

Suit yourself,

She actually tried to exorcise you?

Yeah,

That was nice of her, I guess,

The way things have been going,

I probably should've Iet her,

Listen, Mary,,,

I want you to know that I don't think

Dean's sick or anything,

- Yeah, right,

- No, really,

Mercy House doesn't really exist

for the people who get sent there,

It exists more for the people

who do the sending,

So why were you at Hilary Faye's

when she was praying for Dean?

Honestly,,,

I thought you'd be there,

Well, thank you

for the ride, Patrick,

Any time,

Do you wanna go out sometime?

What--are you gonna

take me out on your scooter?

Come on,

I'm, Iike, totally adorable,

Besides,

it would drive Hilary Faye crazy,

I can't,

I'm not dating right now,

What about tomorrow night?

Will you be dating then?

Good night, Patrick,

Thank you so much,

You guys are so sweet,

You know what?

We need to,,,

We need to take a moment

and think about those people

who aren't as fortunate

to have the body of Christ

in their Iife right now,

So, Iet's,,,

Iet's pray for Mary,

Lucky for me, at our school,

teen pregnancy was about as common

as the flesh-eating virus.

No one really

seemed to catch on.

AII right, students,,,

Except Cassandra.

,,,and we're going to continue

with the Beatitudes,

- Let's--Mary?

- Could I have a bathroom pass?

- Sure,

- Thanks,

BIessed are those who are persecuted

because of righteousness,

for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven,

BIessed are you when people

insult you, persecute you,

and falsely say all kinds of evil

against you because of me,

Excuse me,

It doesn't bother you to have

people smoking around you?

It's so bad for the baby,

I'm not pregnant, okay?

So, what's your plan?

It's too Iate for the big A,

You Iook Iike a smuggler,

I know somewhere you could sell it,

I'm not gonna sell my,,,

It's Dean's, isn't it?

You can't do this on your own,

Yes, I can,

No, you can't,

I thought I was helping him,

I thought it was,,,

,,,what Jesus wanted me to do,

That's pretty stupid, right?

It's not stupid,

- Yes, it is,

- It's not stupid,

If you're interested,

I know some people

who would pay a Iot of money

to take naked pictures of you

in a family way,

Oh, yeah?

How much money?

You need to get out of here,

Are we cutting?

- Should you be driving?

- What is it with you people?

You don't think

we can do anything, do you?

No, I mean, you don't have

your Iicense, do you?

No,

Here, Years of shoplifting

have taught me how to hide a bundle,

Did I ever tell you about the time

that I shoplifted a frozen turkey

out of a Piggly Wiggly wearing only

a tube top and some daisy dukes?

I can't pay for all of this,

Compliments of Hilary Faye,

So, Patrick asked you out,

and you turned him down?

The boy is a tomcat,

even if he is a big J,C, freak,

And, double-plus bonus,

I'm pretty sure he's not a mo,

He's Pastor Skip's son,

and I'm about to pop a baby out,

I should tell Patrick to act gay,

Maybe then he'd get a Iittle action,

Nice, very nice,

Does it ever bother you

that he can't walk?

He can't walk?!

No, I mean

it must be tricky, that's all,

I don't care,

- He gets me, and I get him,

- Cool,

- Hello, Iadies,

- Hello,

Check this out,

I got a candy bar

and a whole nickel,

Oh, Jesus,

Don't Iook now, but b*tch face

is here with your boyfriend,

Hey, guys,

Merry Christmas,

What's wrong with her?

It's nothing,

I just get this really Ieft-out feeling

around Christmas time, you know?

Jewish,

Well, if you decided

to accept Christ into your heart,

then you and your people

could join in on the fun, too,

We should go,

Bye, guys,

- Wait!

- What?

- You're right,

- I am?

I wanna join in on the fun,

I don't want

a Hanukkah bush this year,

I want a Christmas tree,

- You're kidding me again, right?

- I wanna get saved,

I want a relationship

with Jesus Christ, for real,

- Are you serious?

- Yes,

Okay, This is gonna

be pretty intense, Patrick,

I don't have all of

my equipment with me, but,,,

Okay, sit down,

First of all, we need to have you

confess all of your sins out Ioud,

Well, there's all the swears,

I mean, I have

a pretty goddamn dirty mouth,

And then there's the sex,

I mean, are we counting oral?

So, Christmas shopping

with Hilary Faye?

No, no, I just

ran into her here, honestly,

She's helping me pick out

some Iast-minute gifts,

- Come here, Sorry,

- What are you doing, Patrick?

I just wanna see what's in here,

- But--

- No, no, come on,

- We're not allowed,,,

- Just for a second,

- I don't think we should be in here,

- Yes, we should definitely be in here,

It's incredible,

I Iike you, Mary,

I really do,

Why?

You're beautiful,

And you speak for yourself,

God gave us all free will,

and that day

at Hilary Faye's prayer circle,

you weren't afraid to use it,

You inspired me,

You amaze me, Mary,

This is a bad idea,

I knew it,

- Wait a minute,

- You're not my type, Patrick,

Why?

Why not?

I'm sorry,

Mary, wait,

Thanks,

So, I duct taped a piece of rotten bacon

inside Hilary Faye's Iocker,

That's disgusting,

She made me Iisten to

the entire EIms CD on her iPOD,
