(Sam freezes with big eyes like "this is not happening again!"
Then she gets herself together.)
SAM: Okay, hold on. I'm not falling for that again! There are no
ghosts. What's your name?
FUZZY: I'm Fuzzy Wig. I'm with the power company. I'm here to try
and restore light and power to your business!
(Sam opens the door, and as she does, Fuzzy enters and shuts the
door behind him. He wears a coat with a furry hood and an
elaborate tool belt with extension cords looped around one or two
shoulders.)
SAM: What?! No one would come out on a terrible night like this!
FUZZY: Of course we come out on nights like this. I'm usually only
needed when things are terrible. And I do it because I get to
bring light to people in darkness.
SAM: Even on Christmas Eve?
(Fuzzy begins to examine the room, looking for trouble. He
continues working throughout his conversation with Sam.)
FUZZY: Especially on Christmas Eve. I mean, when you think about it,
Christmas is all about bringing light into the darkness of the
world.
SAM: Another visitor on Christmas Eve. Is that the message you're
bringing to me?
FUZZY: It's great to be able to turn on people's electricity when it goes
out. I love my job! But, if you think about it, the whole world is
in darkness because of sin.
SAM: (thinking) Isaiah … "the people walking in darkness have seen
a great light … on those living in the land of deep darkness a
light has dawned."
FUZZY: That's right! Jesus called Himself the Light of the World.
When He was born in Bethlehem there were shepherds nearby,
and there was so much light in the sky they were terrified! For
somebody in my line of work, that's my favorite part of the
Christmas story!
