(MISS REBECCA is on stage chatting with the kids.)
OZZIE: Harrumph!
MISS REBECCA: (continues chatting)
OZZIE: Harrumph!!!
MISS REBECCA: (continues chatting)
OZZIE: HARRUMPH!!!
MISS REBECCA: (turning to OZZIE) Is something wrong, Ozzie?
OZZIE: (dejected) My mom made me get off the PlayStation to come to church.
MISS REBECCA: Is that so horrible?
OZZIE: But I was about to defeat Doc Ock in Legos Spider-Man. I had just used by spider-sense to build a switch and enter his lair. I had disabled his robotic tentacles and was just about to destroy the reactor. Then I just need to defeat Doc Ock, so I could do freeplay and unlock the black suit Spider-Man.
MISS REBECCA: Well, you can finish playing after church.
OZZIE: That's just it. I can't! Mom won't let me play this afternoon.
MISS REBECCA: Did you do something wrong?
OZZIE: No!
MISS REBECCA: Is it broken?
OZZIE: No!
MISS REBECCA: Then why can't you play?
OZZIE: (mockingly) Because we have to work at the homeless shelter.
MISS REBECCA: But that's a good thing.
OZZIE: So?
MISS REBECCA: So can't you sacrifice one afternoon of PlayStation to help homeless people?
OZZIE: But didn't you hear what I said? I'm about to get the Symbiote and the black Spider-Man suit!
MISS REBECCA: God will bless you for your sacrifice.
OZZIE: That's what my mom said, but how do I know He really will?
MISS REBECCA: You have to have faith.
OZZIE: I'm loaded with faith, but what if God doesn't come through?
MISS REBECCA: Ozzie! Didn't God bless you the time you and your family helped your neighbors after they lost their jobs?
OZZIE: Yeah, but…
MISS REBECCA: What about the time you went on that mission trip?
OZZIE: Sure, but…
MISS REBECCA: And what about when you made friends with that new kid at school that the everyone else was teasing?
OZZIE: I get it. I get it. I need to have faith that God will take care of everything if I am obedient to Him.
MISS REBECCA: That's right. You can have faith that God will take care of you, because He always has it the past.
OZZIE: I guess I can give up my PlayStation for one afternoon. Besides, Doc Ock will still be there tomorrow.
MISS REBECCA: That's it. Good for you, Ozzie.
OZZIE: Besides, I can always bring my Game Boy. I'm about to become a Jedi Master on Clone Wars! (disappears)
MISS REBECCA: Ozzie!
