God's Not Dead 2 Page #6

---

And think of the other children out there,

innocent children who are subjected

to their repressive belief system.

And not forgetting

the financial opportunities.

Yes.

Ms. Wesley is an employee

of the school board.

We win in court and we

establish her misconduct

as said paid employee, well, there's

nothing that changes policy faster

than a big, expensive settlement.

We're going to prove once

and for all that God is dead.

Brooke is a minor.

As far as the court is

concerned, she has no rights.

That simply means I won't be

asking her to be a witness.

I feel supremely confident about this.

Okay.

Injunctive relief?

They're asking that you be fired,

plus revocation of your

teaching certificate.

What? How am I supposed to...

Plus attorney's fees.

Essentially, you'll lose everything.

Why are they doing this?

They want to make an example of you.

To them, your beliefs are like a disease

whose time has come and gone,

sort of like smallpox,

or polio, or the plague.

So, what do we do?

We win.

Hey, what's going on?

Brooke is exercising her right to protest.

Idiot.

Hey, shut up, loser.

At least she's standing for something.

Give me that.

Brooke, you need to stop this immediately.

Brooke, this is the last

time I'm gonna tell you.

If you don't stop this right now,

there are gonna be some consequences.

Actually, I don't think that there will,

because this is a sidewalk,

which is public property.

My dad's a lawyer.

Well, actually, this sidewalk

is on school property.

I suggest you girls aren't late for class.

Yes, ma'am.

Hey, what are you doing?

I'm just, you know, reading the paper

while my laptop goes through

my online jury orientation.

Well, shouldn't you be paying attention?

Please remember, consumption

of alcoholic beverages,

nonprescription drugs, and weapons

are prohibited in the courtroom.

Still, isn't it your civic duty?

Theoretically, yeah, but Matthew 22:14.

Oh, "Many are called, few are chosen."

Exactly.

Three hundred people show up,

they sit around for 8 hours,

and at the end of the day, they all

go home, having not been selected.

Statistically, I have a better chance

of being hit by lightning.

Gotta get some coffee.

All right.

It's called "voir dire."

It means that we get a chance to

eliminate any potential jurors

that may have a bias against you.

- Sir.

- Oh!

Thank you, sir.

So, how are you feeling?

I'm good.

All right, well, this is

a bit of an arduous process.

They bring all these jurors in.

It's gonna take the whole day,

but I think this is where

we can win the case.

All rise for the

Honorable Judge Robert Stennis.

On the order of the matter

of Thawley vs. Wesley, you may be seated.
