JESSICA: I speak mime. I'll translate.
(Jasmine goes through a series of wild, silent, gyrations as Jessica
translates.)
JESSICA: There's trouble! Billy is … on … the other beach … he has to
plant … fescue.
SOPHIE: Fescue? Isn't that some kind of grass?
JESSICA: No, wait! He has a plan to rescue us!
(Jasmine nods "yes," frantically.)
JESSICA: He took … fifty balloons …
CAPTAIN: Fifty balloons?!
JESSICA: From the … decorations. He … filled them with hot air. He
says … he's going …. to float to… civilization … and get help!
CAPTAIN: The balloons will only get him out over the ocean before he
falls. You all keep doing what you were doing! I'll go stop Billy
and bring him back.
LOGAN: I'll go with you!
(The Captain and Logan run off. Johnny sets up a tattered beach
chair and sits down. The others sit next to him. The performers get
ready for the song.)
MASON: So, we left off where God's people were waiting … for 400
years.
JOHNNY: And I thought I'd been waiting a long time to be rescued! But,
four-hundred years!
TRENT: That's why it was such awesome, amazing news when the
angels showed up near Bethlehem, announcing that the
Promised One had just been born!
(music begins to "Your Savior Is Born")
SOPHIE: The angel told the shepherds, "Do not be afraid. I bring you
good tidings of great joy which will be to all people."
EMMA: "For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior,
who is Christ the Lord."
SONG: "YOUR SAVIOR IS BORN"
