Ragamuffin Page #3

Synopsis: Based on the life of Rich Mullins, a musical prodigy who rose to Christian music fame and fortune only to walk away and live on a Navajo reservation. An artistic genius, raised on a tree farm in Indiana by a callous father, Rich wrestled all of his life with the brokenness and crippling insecurity born of his childhood. A lover of Jesus and a rebel in the church, Rich refused to let his struggles with his own darkness tear him away from a God he was determined to love. As he struggled with success in Nashville and depression in Wichita, Rich desired most of all to live a life of honest and reckless faith amidst a culture of religion and conformity.

You guys have fun.

We'll see you.

There you go.

Nice to meet

you, Morris.

Hey, um--

I got

a question for you.

You seem

kind of like

a handsome guy.

I wasn't really popular

with the girls

in high school

so I want you

to shoot me straight.

Does this,

uh, beard

make me look fat?

[chuckle]

No, serious.

I don't know

how to answer

that question.

That's fair enough.

That's fair enough.

[both chuckling]

Oh, man.

So you're a bully.

My time at CBC

kind of flew by fast.

Sam and I hit it

off well and became

good friends quickly.

[laughing]

Being in

a structured institution,

I found myself asking

a lot of questions

about the church,

about authority.

They weren't

always popular

with the faculty.

oh, you play?

Yeah, absolutely.

I play all the time.

Oh, man.

Yeah, I saw

the case.

You want to jam?

Yeah'.!

Yeah.

For sure.

Sam and I formed

a small band called Zion.

We started off playing

at small coffeeshops

around Cincinnati,

and then eventually

in church auditoriums.

The more I played,

the more I realized

that I didn't want

to just play music.

I wanted a ministry.

So we moved off campus

our senior year

with a couple

of the other

members of the band.

It was exciting

to feel God working

through me

even on a small stage

like Cincinnati.

[intense piano playing]

He is incredible.

He's pretty good.

[chuckle]

There he

goes again.

Richard.

Richard.

I thought I told you

you weren't allowed

to play

on campus anymore.

Especially if you're bent

on destroying another piano.

Mr. Walters,

I'm sorry.

I asked Richard

to play for orientation.

It's my fault.

Monday morning,

I want you prepared

to quote the first

chapter of Isaiah

in my office

eight a.m. sharp.

I can do that.

[chuckling]

[squealing]

Break it up.

(girl)

It was so good.

Take it easy.

It was just one song.

It was great.

It really was.

I see

the Scripture

Police got you.

You noticed

that, huh?

I did.

(Rich)

Thankfully, he's given

me that chapter before.

Man, what's up

with that guy?

It's ridiculous.

[laughing]

Hi. Um, that

was incredible.

I've never heard

anything like that

before, ever.

[chuckling]

Um, I'm--

hi, I'm Beth.

I'm Rich.

Nice to meet you.

You sing?

Uh, yeah.

I mean, just

at, like,

church at home.

You should sing

with our band, Zion.

You've never

heard me play.

I mean, sing.

Oh, I'm sure

you're fine.

Jesus isn't picky.

[chuckle]

Um, this is

my friend, Jess.

Say hi.

He)'-

(Jess)

That was great.

You, too.

Or not

you too.

I don't--

I don't sing

at all.

No, that's not

what I meant. Um--

It was nice

to meet you.

Yeah.

We'll see

you around?

Yep.

Got it.
