attitude.
DAN:
Yeah, and we know all about those.
( music begins to "Mercy for Me," p. 62)
CHRIS:
Come to find out, she's just heartbroken. (turns back to talk
with the other carolers)
(A single passerby crosses the stage. Then another crosses the
other direction.)
DAN:
Mr. Mattiello just told me he and his wife could never have
children. And then there's Susanna, and Mrs. Shepherd,
too. Makes you wonder how many heartbroken people
cross your path at Christmastime.
LISA:
For you, at least one.
DAN: Who?
LISA: Well . . . me.
DAN: You're heartbroken?
LISA:
Sure. I pray every day that Alex will be drawn to the light.
I know he's only 16, but I see things in him that really
worry me. Like this new girlfriend. We haven't even met
her yet.
DAN:
God's writing his story, honey. We just have to trust Him.
LISA: I know, and I do. But it still makes me sad. Especially this
time of year.
(Dan hugs her)
DAN:
I know.
LISA: What makes you sad?
