Blue Like Jazz Page #2

Synopsis: Disenchanted by the church and his devout Christian mother, 19 year-old Donald escapes Texas for the liberal Northwest and attends Reed College at the urging of his secular father. At Reed College, Don finds that his classmates, from all walks of life, are more anti-religious and anti-everything than he was prepared for. In an attempt to fit in, and more importantly, in an attempt to find himself, Don joins an activist group which forces him to question what he really believes in.

You can sleep a little more, okay?

Breakfast!

Coming! Not too many bananas.

You have one message.

Seora, buenos noches.

Are you home?

Ah, bella muchacha,

are you awake, mi amor?

Sleep the sleep de los ngeles.

I'll see you maana.

" Yo te quiero infinito. "

" Yo te quiero infinito. "

" Yo te quiero, yo te quiero infinito. "

Message deleted.

You like it?

Is that new?

It's your big day.

Any calls?

Some Mexican guy

had the wrong number.

Hmm.

So how's your father?

Huh? You really want to know?

Not at all.

That's third night in a row

with the TV on.

Is that a record?

Keeps me company

when you're not around.

Everybody's been asking me,

what am I gonna do with myself

when you're gone.

Mom, it's not gonna be like that.

I'm barely leaving the zip code.

I'm sorry, Donny.

It's just hormones.

Is my mascara running?

You look beautiful, Mom.

And nothing's gonna change.

I'm always just a phone call away.

Ephesians 6:
11 tells us

to put on the full armor of God,

but wearing God's armor

isn't always easy, is it, Don?

No, sir.

Your friends may not think you're cool.

So when we dress you

in the full armor of God,

it's not just a fun,

little going-away gift.

It tells the world what, Don?

Romans 1:
16, sir.

"I'm not ashamed of the

Gospel of Christ."

Amen. Let's give him a hand, church.

Give it up.

Thank God. Appreciate it.

All right.

Now hold on. Hold on, folks.

Hold on.

Donny, Donny, not so fast, bro.

I'm gonna need my sidekick

for story time, kids.

Come on down as my lovely wife

tickles the organ.

Just gather round

right here in front of us.

That's it.

Ha ha. All right.

Now, today we have a very special amigo

who's come to listen to our story,

but he's a bit shy.

Let's see if I can...

Hey, hey, uh, Tito.

Here he comes.

Yes, today is Tito's birthday, but,

oh, oh, but he's very sad.

You know why?

'Cause today he learned

what happened on the cross.

So for his birthday,

we're going to show Tito

how the cross can

make him happy, yes?!

- Yeah!

- Yeah!

Yeah. All right,

let's bring down the cross.

That's my girl.

All right, here it comes.

Look at this. Now we need

someone really, really strong

to break down this piata.

- Who wants to do it?

- Me! Me!

Who's really strong?

Are you strong enough?

I don't know. I think...

Smartacus here.

Smartacus here,

he's got what it takes.

Smartacus is going to use

his Sword of the Spirit,

and he is going to give it his best shot.

All right, buddy. There you go.

That's it. Big swing, and...

Oh, yeah.

All right, Smartacus. Yeah.

All right, boys and girls,

What? What, were you

expecting something else?

Yeah? See, just like the piata
