The Resurrection of Gavin Stone Page #5

---

Row...

Your...

Boat gently...

Down...

The...

Stream...

Merrily...

So, Jesus said, "let the

little children come to me."

Whoa. No!

Guys, no. Stop.

And that's a wrap

for set building.

So... good night.

See you tomorrow.

Yeah, I'll give you a ride.

Come on.

Say something nice.

It is coming together

nicely, thank you.

See? There it is.

So let's celebrate.

I haven't clogged an artery in a while.

Let's grab some deep dish.

It's been a long week.

It's not a date.

It's merely a discussion

outside of the workplace

that positively acknowledges the

work we've done to this point

and seeks solutions on said success.

At the end of the night,

he introduced me to his parents

where his mom pulled me

aside and said, and I quote,

"god told me you're gonna be my

daughter-in-law someday." Oh...

First date.

What did you say?

I said, "um, I think you heard

wrong." And then I took off.

No.

Yeah, I had to.

All right, all right.

So I gotta ask,

and this is not a line,

why no boyfriend?

Mmm... not for tonight.

John mark says, and I quote,

"you only have room in your life for

one man, and that is Jesus Christ."

Well, that is a kind of line that

works on a guy like John mark.

Mmm. So what is it?

You first.

Well, that's easy.

I'm a petulant narcissist

with intimacy issues

stemming from

a robbed childhood,

where my every whim was met

with instant gratification.

Back to you.

I was engaged.

What? When?

Seven, eight years ago.

Head of our music ministry.

Couple of months

before the wedding,

he came to me and he said he wanted

to take his music to Nashville.

With his new girlfriend.

Oh. Whoa.

Yeah, so, did what any

normal girl would do.

I flew to Nepal to work at our

church there for two years.

And since then, I've just

been focused on my work here.

Yeah, focused is

one word for it.

I'm not that bad.

I can be breezy.

Breezy?

Yeah.

Prove it.

Yeah, tell me a joke.

Right now.

You can't just say

a joke out of nowhere.

Yes, you can.

I'm gonna show you.

So, guy walks into

a doctor's office,

he says, "doc,

you've gotta help me.

"I have this horrible

Twitter addiction."

Doctor says, "sorry,

I'm not following you."

That's good.

See?

Yeah.

All right, your turn.

Okay.

Okay. Ahem.

How do you make a tissue dance?

Put a little Boogey in it.

That's a good joke!

It's a joke.

Okay, fine, I'm intense.

But that's just because I

care about what I'm doing.

You know, like, not to

get cheesy or anything,

but we're doing this for the

lord, you know what I mean?

Yeah. Sure.

I'm sorry.

You don't know what it's like,

living in a fishbowl like this.

Pastor's daughter.

Everybody's watching, waiting

for me to make a mistake.

Oh, yeah, I have no

idea what that's like.

Okay, fair enough.

The difference is, people

expect you to be perfect.

They expect me

to be the opposite.

I'm not any fun if I'm not

acting crazy or drunk or saying,

"don't look at me!"

And yet, here you are.

At a church.

And yet, here I am.

God works in mysterious ways.

Am I right?

Ls that how it goes?

Yes, well done.

All right.

Gotta get you back.

Come on, let's put a little

Boogey in it.

Well, thank you for the ride.

You're welcome.

Good night.

Good night.

Oh. Hey, um,

about that mistake thing.

You know, where you think everybody's

waiting for you to make them?

If they are,

it's not to judge you.

From what I've seen

of the people here,

I think if you admitted

you made mistakes,

they'd like you even more.

I'm not sure that's true.

You know, early on, I thought my

biggest mistake was casting you.

No.

No, no, no,

they're gonna love me.

Okay, good night.

All right, good night.

Bye.

You're out late.

What you doing still up?

Every night, almost midnight,

you're hammering and sawing

and whatever that thing is.

It's a level, Gavin.

Yeah, leveling.

Why?

'Cause I said I would.

Wanna know the last promise

I made to your mom?

Right here.

I told her I'd build her a dream

house with countertops and all.

It's the first promise

I broke to her.

Sorry.

Yeah, me, too.

You know, we could get mom

that dream house sooner.

I could try and help out

with this stuff.

Mmm. Well,

that would be a first.

Apparently, this Jesus fellow

I'm playing is into carpentry,

so 'Nd be good character

research anyway.

Maybe.

So, got a question.

Was out with this girl tonight.

No, that's outside my area.

What do you mean?

You're my dad.

Aren't you supposed

to tell me what to do?

Gavin, you're a man in your 30s.

I think you can figure it out.

She's the pastor's daughter.

Oh.

You didn't...

No, no, no.

I just connected with her.

Like a normal person.

And she doesn't care about

the celebrity thing.

That's new for me, too.

Okay, so?

So...

So nothing, dad. I just

thought we could talk.

Gavin, I'm old. I don't

know how to do this.

Give advice.

I got nothing but this big,

old empty mess of a house

that I'm probably

never gonna finish.

It is a mess.

But it's not empty.

You're listening to WAAY,

the best in Christian radio.

This is the morning sun

with Wayne McCusker.

So, hey, we have a special

guest with us this morning.

But I don't need

to tell you who it is,

you should be able to figure

it out when he says this...

Don't look at me.

There it is.

And of course, you can't look at

him 'cause he's on the radio.

But if you're over 30 years old,

you know that sentence comes from

former child star, Gavin stone,

who's here with us this morning.

Hey, Gavin. Or shall I call you cliffy?

Uh, no, Gavin's fine.

So, cliffy, you used to play in a

lot of roles on TV and movies,

but you're here today to talk

to us about a special new role.

One that might just be the most

special role of your life.

Am I right?

Um...

Tell us about it.

Okay.

Well, it's called

crown of thorns.

We're doing it at

the Masonville Bible church.

It is directed by the fabulous Ms.

Kelly Richardson.

And, Kelly, you snagged

cliffy for the part of...

Jesus, yes.

He's doing a great job.

So, cliffy, let's talk.

Aren't we...

I'd love to hear about

your heart transformation.

How has the blood of Christ

impacted your own walk?

I'm sorry, what? Share with

us the spiritual journey

that got you here.

From sinner to savior.

My spiritual journey?

Well, I'd love to

tell you all about it,

but, honestly, this production

isn't about Gavin stone.

I'm really hoping and praying

that when people come to see

this show, they don't see me.

That I've gotten so lost in this

character, that they just see him

and the story and

the rest of the cast.

I don't want to be

a distraction to that.

Wow.

Teacher!

This woman was

caught in adultery.

You know the law, she must

be stoned for this sin.

I'm writing?

Sorry, sorry.

Uh, dumb question.

What is he writing?

It doesn't say in the script.

Because it's not in the Bible.

Really? Why not?

I guess 'cause it's not

the focus of the scene.
