SOFT MUSIC PLAYS.
ELLIE (V.O.)
Our granny used to say:
“You may not understand why things happen, but God has a purpose and a plan."
​
THE MUSIC ABRUPTLY STOPS.
A MALE VOICE SHOUTS and GLASS CRASHES.

What she didn’t tell us was what to do when we don’t understand God’s purpose and plan.

Excerpt:
CHRISTIE (V.O.)
You know that famous line: Life is like a box of chocolates...?
A waiter brings her a cup of steaming tea.
CHRISTIE (V.O.) (CONT’D)
