THIS IS YOUR LIFE
1st Gen.
(Billy is laying down. He opens his eyes and immediately panics. Billy jumps up quickly and looks around; Frantically running from one side of the stage to the other.)
BILLY: Where am I? Where am I? (screaming) Can someone tell me where I am?!
JESUS: Billy.
BILLY: Who’s there? Where are you? Can you tell me where I am? How did I get here?
JESUS: Billy, you’ve lived your life and now has come time to review it.
BILLY: What?!
JESUS: Billy, listen to this first voice.
GLENA: Billy? Billy?
BILLY: Glena? It’s my sister, Glena. What’s happening? Can you tell me where I am?
GLENA: We’re not together anymore, Billy. Do you remember the time we went to grandfathers church?
BILLY: Of course I remember! Where are you?! Help me!
GLENA: I got saved but you didn’t. Why didn’t you get saved Billy?
BILLY: Glena, come on. I was young. Get me out of here. Where are you?
(silence)
BILLY: Glena? Glena?
JESUS: Billy.
BILLY: I'm not sure who you are, but my sister was here. I'm really confused.
JESUS: Billy, tell me if you remember this voice.
TAMARA: Billy, do you remember me? I was your first girlfriend.
BILLY: Tamara! I remember you, Tamara! Listen, I need your help. I don’t know where I am! My sister was just here but she left. Can you help me Tamara?
TAMARA: I can’t help you now, Billy. I wanted to when we went to school together. But I couldn’t do all those things you wanted to do. Do you remember when I tried to tell you about Jesus, Billy? But you wouldn’t listen to me. I’m sorry, Billy.
BILLY: Tamara! It’ll be different now! Tamara!
JESUS: Billy.
BILLY: Tamara, don’t leave me here! Help me!
JESUS: Billy.
BILLY: Who are you? I'm confused and scared! Can you help me?
JESUS: Billy, do you remember the voice of this man?
BOSS: I gave you your first job.
BILLY: Mr. Bither! Mr. Bither! (getting more frantic) I need your help, Mr. Bither! Can you help me?
BOSS: Billy, do you remember all those times I invited you to come to church with me? Billy, why didn’t you come?
BILLY: I was going to! I wanted to, things just came up!
BOSS: Billy, why did you steal from me?
BILLY: I’m sorry, Mr. Bither! I didn’t mean it! I’ll pay you back! I promise! Mr. Bither help me. (starts to cry) Please, Mr. Bither. Why doesn’t someone help me?
JESUS: Billy.
BILLY: (not hearing the voice) Help me somebody, please.
JESUS: I know you recognize this voice.
MOM: (a mournful cry) Billy, oooooh Billy…
BILLY: Mamma? (Crying uncontrollably) Mamma. Help me, Mommy. Mommy, it’s so dark here! I’m afraid! Help me, Mommy, please! Get me out of here. Mommy!
MOM: (crying) Why did you hurt all those people? Why didn’t you get saved, Billy? Why didn’t you get saved?
BILLY: Momma, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt anyone. Please don’t leave me, mommy. I need you. Mommy, please help me. Mommy!
JESUS: Billy.
BILLY: No! (running trying to get away from that voice) Mommy!
JESUS: Billy.
BILLY: Nooooo! (Screaming) Mommy, please help me!
JESUS: (more stern) Billy!
BILLY: Who are you?! What do you want? Why don’t you leave me alone. Who are you?
JESUS: You don’t know me, Billy.
BILLY: Can you help me?!
JESUS: I tried to help you before. I knocked on your door many times, but you wouldn’t open. Now, you have been weighed in the balance and been found wanting. Depart from me into everlasting punishment!
BILLY: (Running to the front of the stage screaming) Noooooooooo! (Panic stricken) No! No! I’m sorry! I’ll change! Let me out of here! Please let me out of here! I don’t want to be here! Someone, help me! Please! No! No!
2 DEMONS: (walk up from back of stage, grab Billy, drag offstage)
BILLY: Noooo!
