DELETOR: (irritated, begging) Zappy, pleeease! The giggling! CAPTAIN: So you're the one who erased the Bible Database! DELETOR: Yes, I am! (continuing grandly) And now, without the words of God, you will feel hopelessly abandoned and will submit to me! (villain laugh) Oh, I just love to see your shattered expressions! (sees they're not shattered) Wait. Why aren't you shattered? Why are you not devastated? Why do you not feel abandoned by God? LT. NOVA: (smiling) Because your plan isn't going to work. CAPTAIN: The people on this planet haven't been affected by your sinister plan. They memorized the Bible verses long before you started erasing them! DELETOR: (scoffing, but a little worried) I'm not concerned. They can't know ALL the Bible verses, can they? SEBASTIAN: We may not know all of them. But there are others in our family who do. Christ followers all across the galaxy have been studying God's Word for generations to learn how to follow Him. CAMRYN: He's right. And there's POWER in the Word of God. DELETOR: (desperately) But the database! That was the power! CAPTAIN: No. The power is in God's Word. You can erase a database, but you can't erase God's Word or its power. COMMANDER: (compassionately) And we can show you God's love . . . even when you are trying to hurt us. DELETOR: Love? I don't need "love." I have power! CAPTAIN: Everyone needs love. And God's love isn't like anything else. God's love is unconditional. SEBASTIAN: It doesn't depend on what you do or who you are. DELETOR: (hesitating) Wait—you're saying, this God loves . . . even me? ( music begins to "Forgive") MIA: (affirming) God loves even you. $ < 21 67 Star Quest For Preview Only
