Evan Almighty Page #2

Synopsis: Buffalo newsman Evan Baxter is elected to Congress with the slogan, "Change the world." He lucks into a huge house in a new Virginia suburb. His Capitol office is also fantastic, but there's a catch: he's tapped by the powerful Congressman Long to co-sponsor a bill to allow development in national parks. In steps God, who appears to a disbelieving Evan and gently commands him to build an ark. Tools and wood arrive in Evan's yard, animal pairs follow, his beard and hair grow wildly, nomad's clothes and a staff appear. Long grows impatient, Evan starts building, his family leaves him, reporters gather, and drought grips D.C. Still, Evan believes. But will he change the world?

I am handsome:

I am happy, successful,

powerful, handsome, happy:

All right, everyone, wish me luck:

The Congressman has left the building:

All right, Baxter brood, I will see you

later on this afternoon for the big hike: Yes?

You psyched? Are you ready?

Yeah:

Bye:
See you:

Good luck, honey:

Bye, guys!

See you later:

Later, gator:

Oh, gosh:

Wow:
Honey, did you order anything?

"Alpha and Omega Hardware"?

Never heard of them:

Me either:

What do we have?

What is this stuff?

Must have the wrong address:

Yup:
The wrong address:

Congressman Baxter: Good

morning:
Good morning:

Good morning, Congressman Baxter: Hello:

Good morning, Congressman

Baxter:
Good morning:

Oh, this is so cool:

Uh-huh:

Yeah:
This'll work:

There he is! The head honcho:

The big kahuna:

Rita, I think I have to do the dance:

Do the dance:

That's enough of the dance:

Oh, this is nice! This is really nice!

This is too nice:

There's something crooked going on:

Do you smell anthrax?

Congressman!

Hey, Marty!

Nice sound to that:

I like it:

Here they are!

All right:

You remember Sarah, Allen, Michael:

I don't think you know the new kid

Eugene Tennanbaum: I found him at G:W:

Sort of a walking search engine: Watch this:

How many stars on the flag in 1818?

15:

And Congressman Baxter's coffee habits?

He likes a morning latte with a cruller,

a decaf espresso after lunch,

served sans pastry of any kind:

Very impressive:
A little freaky,

but I like this kid:

I love you:

Hmm?

I mean, we should hang out socially:

I just got a ping-pong table:

Not going to happen:

Go find out where his license plates are:

Everybody else, back to your holes:

He was actually right:

I'm doing a background check on that kid:

Ta-da! This, my friend, is a power office,

to remind you of the mission!

"Change the world!"

Okay, Evan, who do you know?

What do you mean?

Oh, come on:

Yesterday we're in the basement:

Today, look at this place:

It's like the Emerald City!

"Enjoy your office:

Your neighbor, Congressman Long:"

Congressman Long did this?

Did you say "neighbor"?

That's right:
He lives in Prestige Crest,

right up the street:

Evan, you got to tell me these things:

Think of the publicity angle on this!

You and Congressman Long

having a barbecue:

Congressman Long eating your hot dog:

RITA:
Hate to break up

your little weenie roast:

Congressman Long's assistant

just dropped this off:

The Congressman would like for you

to junior cosponsor this bill

that he's introducing:

Hold on:
Congressman Long asked us to

junior cosponsor his bill? What's the bill?

The Citizens' Integration of Public Lands Act:

Never heard of it: Gene, here, now:
