Scene 4
(holding several plates, and looking off in the distance) Well, I
know one thing for sure. If the Messiah were born right here in
Bethlehem, I would drop everything to see Him.
MO:
Flo! You're about to drop everything right on top of that poor
lady from the Beth-Western.
FLO:
Oh, my! Very sorry. (moving to a table) Here's your MLT …
mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich. Enjoy!

restaurant, as if the sky outside has lit up as bright as day!)

MO:
What is that?! It's as bright as day out there!

from.)
Not sure what it is, but it can't be good.
FLO:
The lights are coming from over the shepherds' field!

listen, and just when they get there, the light goes out.)

(Hala bursts in excitedly.)
MS. HALA: Did you see that light?
ALL:
(All in agreement, "we did!" "yes!" etc.)
MS. HALA: You know, I'm a little worried about that young couple that is
sleeping in my stable. You know, the ones you saw earlier. The
young girl who is soon to have a baby?
MO:
You put them in the stable?
