What is it exactly

that I'll be doing?

Ha!

Hiya!

Whoa.

Uh...

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Sorry, I'm not, uh...

You know, just cleaning.

Where is Helen?

I'm just filling in for Helen.

Okay, well,

you need to put a sign

because this is

the women's bathroom.

Yup. Should have

done that, yeah.

Do I know you from somewhere?

You recognize me?

I don't think I've seen you

around here before.

You can figure it out later.

Maybe over coffee

or deep-dish pizza.

You guys are into that, right?

Really?

Yeah, thin crust is fine, too.

Uh... well,

I got a ton of work to do,

and I've known you for 30 seconds, so...

Ls that...

Are these movie scenes?

Uh, no. It is our annual

stage production.

That's totally my thing.

I could help you with that.

Right now, you can help me

by cleaning another bathroom.

'Cause this is the women's.

Yeah. Hmm.

Yep. All right.

I'll just get a sign.

As well.

I can sing, I can dance...

Okay, next up is Charles.

Woe to you, scribes and pharisees.

Woe to you.

Hi. My name is Doug.

I've never acted before.

But I'm willing to serve the lord

in whatever way you see fit.

My name is

Charlotte Elizabeth Stewart.

I'm the stage manager.

And I'm going to be

performing amazing grace.

My name is Anthony Mathias

Roundstone, and I live for Jesus.

The stage is a close second.

I'll be performing a monologue from

Henrik Ibsen's a doll's house.

Finished already?

You know what they say.

Time flies when you're serving your

state-mandated community service hours.

Eight down, 192 to go.

You know, as naturally

gifted as I am with a mop,

I'm 10 times better on stage.

You think I could spend a few

of my hours working on this?

Maybe help you guys out?

Oh, that'd be nice.

But, uh, this is one

of our ministries.

We ask that all cast members

be believing Christians.

Well, lam one.

You are what?

Christian.

You're a Christian?

Yes.

You are?

Yes.

Really?

You didn't know that?

I must have missed it

in your file

between the drunk

and disorderly charges.

Ah.

Touch, touch.

No, I'm Christian.

Capital c.

I've had the passion of the

Christ for a couple of years now.

As in, you believe that Jesus

Christ is the son of god?

God.

And that he's our savior?

Savior, yeah.

Really?

Mmm-hmm.

I've had my share of

hiccups, as you know.

A couple of nights ago,

was a mistake, obviously,

but it's no mistake

that I chose to come here.

Why didn't you tell me?

I don't know. Just didn't

think you'd believe me.

Not sure if you do now.

No, no. I...

I didn't expect it.

Just so you know,

newcomers are expected

to share their testimony

when they audition.

Oh.

Okay?

Done that plenty of times.
