Evan Almighty Page #4

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?

Excuse me:
Do I know you?

Not as well as I'd like:

I see you got my housewarming gift:

That was you? You sent those?

What are they for? Hey! Hey:

Genesis, chapter six, verse fourteen:

I want you to build an ark:

You want me to build an ark:

Yes:

So that's why the tools:

And you are responsible for the wood?

All right:
Well, let's just start over:

Hello, I am Evan:::

Evan Baxter:
Born June 15, 1962:

Eight pounds, 11 ounces:

Mother's Carroll Ann Parker:

Father, Eugene Evan Baxter:

You have internet access: Very impressive:

Do you also have cable?

You're a clean freak: You care much

too much about your outward appearance:

Your left nipple is a quarter inch higher

than your right nipple:

And when you were a little boy,

you were afraid of Gumby:

Who are you?

I'm God:

You're God?

Yes:
And I want you, Evan Baxter,

to build an ark:

Okay:
You know what? This conversation

is a little thing I like to call over!

But I got to get going,

because, frankly, I have an ark to build:

Busy, busy, busy, busy: Nice meeting you:

Take care:
Oh, and:::

All right, see you later!

Shake it off, Evan: It's over:

The nutcase is gone:

I am successful, I'm powerful,

I'm handsome, I'm happy:

Successful, powerful, handsome, happy:

Get it out, son:
It's the beginning of wisdom:

How did you get in here?

I'm calling the cops:

Oh, no:
No need! Look! Look:

There's one right there: Right there:

Officer! Officer! Officer! Carjacker!

Carjacker in the car! Carjacker in the car!

Careful pulling out:

Pedestrian in the crosswalk:

Shake it off, shake it off!

Shake it off, shake it off!

Good morning, chief!

Good morning, Rita:

You almost scared me to death!

What's wrong with you?

Nothing:
Just sort of a weird ride in:

Weird how?

It was just a weird ride in:

Okay, well, thanks for clarifying:

Here's your mail and your schedule:

Okay:

And they finally fixed the phones:

My new extension is 614:

614:

Yeah:
614?

Right:

You want me to write that down?

I'd rather you didn't:

Good morning:

Hey, Long came through with that seat

on the House Resource Committee:

You stuck in your thumb

and pulled out a plum, my friend:

Also, the new Congressional plates

just came in:

Gene, plates, now:

And Alex at the Buffalo office had her baby:

Boy or girl?

A little boy:
And here he is:

Just as cute as a button: Not bad

for such an ugly woman: Weighed in at:::

Six pounds, 14 ounces:

How'd you know that?

Lucky guess:

Hot, hot, hot! Hot off the press!

It's a joke:
Here are your plates, sir:

Those are rock-star plates, man:

You can park anywhere:

You can't be sitting in a chair:

You've got a committee meeting

in five minutes:
