Therefore
they said
to him,
'How were
your eyes
opened?'
[John 9:10]
******************
"Maybe....
He was
just a..
brilliant
OPTHOMOLOGIST?"

"Who,
child?"

(Impatient voice.)
"JESUS!"

"Oh."
[PATIENT NOD.]

(Shrug.)
"Maybe.....
He was just
born with all
that...
MEDICAL..
KNOWLEDGE...!"

[NOD.]

"I mean...
just look at
BACH!"

[NODDING.]
"What
about him,
My beloved."

"WELL?
Wasn't he,
like: FIVE?
And,
writin'..
all that..
MUSIC?"

[NOD.]

"WELL?
Couldn't somebody
be BORN...
and,
just KNOW..
how to HEAL..
people's EYES?"

[PATIENT NOD.]

"Even,
back THEN?"

[NOD.]
"Perhaps
so,
child."

(Squint.)
(Mumble.)
"I haven't
gotten
the WINE
part...
figured out."

[CHUCKLE.]

(Look up.)
"I'm still
WORKIN'
on it."

"Good,
child.
Very good."
[SMILE!]
[NOD.]
[PAUSE.]
"Hm."

(Yell to the ceiling.)
"WHAT,
LORD?"

[QUIET VOICE.]
"Check
your
spelling,
My beloved."
************************
He
put clay
on my
eyes,
and
I washed,
and
I see.
[John 9:15]
