Saved! Page #7

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

Go ahead, swear it,

Come on, Hil, Swear before God

and everyone else,

AII right, I swear,

I swear to God

I did not graffiti our school,

Are you guys happy?

Oh, yes, you did, Hilary Faye,

I found this crammed up

under her seat,

What?

It's got your signature,

Hilary Faye,

Come on, Veronica,

Let's go,

Let me go!

You are nothing but a big fake!

I think you should go, Hilary,

Step aside, please,

- Hil--

- Get away from me!

- You really should go now,

- You go!

I designed

these decorations here!

And my father

donated the refreshments!

And I got Godflight onstage, okay?!

And I was just doing this

because Jesus told me to, He did!

Now, you, get out of my way!

AII of you, get out of my way!

Get out of my way, you freaks!

I'II go get Patrick and Mary,

What are you--

What are you doing here?

I'm going to my prom,

What, did Mercy House

Iet you just borrow the van?

Not exactly, We sort of Ied a rebellion

and swiped it, You're pregnant?

Look, I really,,,

I wanted to tell you, but--

On the first time?

Yeah,

That is so awesome,

Yeah?

There's something

I wanna tell you, too,

He's your Iife-partner, right?

Prom date,

It's really nice to see you,

- Dean, this is Patrick,

- Nice to meet you,

Excuse me, Mary,

Listen, son, I suggest you

and your friends get back in the van,

and back to Mercy House as quick

as you can before you're all arrested,

We've had enough

excitement here for tonight,

We're not Ieaving,

What you and your friends have done

is not cool in the eyes of God,

- Jesus, Dad, stop it,

- Patrick, this is not a gray area,

- Dad, it's all a gray area,

- The Bible is black and white!

Stop it!

Would you Iisten to yourself?

I don't need this from you now,

We've been kicked out

of our homes and schools,

and now we're gonna

be kicked out of Mercy House?

There's nowhere Ieft for us to go,

I'm supposed to be here,

This is my prom,

I wanna spend it with my friends,

There's no room for moral ambiguity here,

The Bible is very clear about this,

So everything that doesn't fit

into some stupid idea

of what you think God wants

you just try to hide

or fix or get rid of?

It's just all too much to Iive up to,

No one fits in 100% of the time,

Not even you,

I know that, Mary,

I know in my heart

that Jesus still Ioves me,

Why would God

make us all so different,,,

,,,if he wanted us to be the same?

Nowwhat?

Save the heathens, Hilary Faye,

Be a warrior, Hilary Faye!

Sacrifice everything, Hilary Faye!

And here's your big,

fat, stupid reward!

Oh, my God,

- I think I'm feeling kind of woozy,

- What?

Somebody call an ambulance,

That was so awesome, Hilary Faye!

Jesus Christ!

- You okay?

- No, Roland,

I crashed my van into Jesus, okay?!

I have a pimple the size of Jupiter!

I am not okay!

This is,,,

,,,not how I wanted

to remember my prom,

This is not how I wanted

to remember my Iife,

Well, maybe we could fix it,,,

,,,with some glue or something,

I am so sorry, Roland,

I shouldn't have ratted you out

in front of everyone,

I would have probably

done the same thing,

Do you think

Jesus still Ioves me, Roland?

Probably not,

Yeah, sure,

Hey, she's over here!

- I'm okay,

- Come on,

- Don't worry, I won't bite,

- Thank you,

- It's gonna be okay,

- Thank you,

I only got room for one of you,

- I'm the father,

- I'm the boyfriend,

I'm his boyfriend,

That's nice, but I still

only got room for one of you,

Starting the party without me?

Are you okay?

You didn't ruin my Iife, Mary,

Breathe, baby,

Good girl,

Just keep breathing,

Good girl,

You're gonna be fine,

Okay, I'm pretty sure

this isn't what Jesus had in mind

when he said, "Help Dean. "

Look, don't be too harsh.

I'm not the first person

to ever get the message screwed up.

She's perfect,

Looking at her,

it's like life is too amazing

to be this random and meaningless

consequence of the universe.

There had to be a God...

or something out there.

Something inside.

You just have to feel it.

Do you want to hold her?

Do you want to hold her, Dean?

I mean, really,

when you think about it--

what would Jesus do?

I don't know...

...but in the meantime we'll be trying

to figure it out...together.
