And
they heard
the sound
of the Lord God
walking in
the garden
in the cool
of the day,
and the man
and his wife
hid themselves...
But the Lord God
called to the man...
Where are you?
[Genesis 3:8-9]
***********************
(Grimmace.)
"LORD?"

"Yes,
My child?"

(Pause.)
(Grimmace again.)
"I just thought
of a good way to
think of SIN!"

[WISE NOD.]
"What is that,
Mein kind'alah."

"Well..."
(Frown.)
"It's sorta like,
when you're one of
those unfortunate folk...."
(Sorrowful gaze.)
"Who are allergic to
milk and milk by-products."

[SMILE!]
"Go on."

"WHAT'S that CALLED*?"

[PATIENT SILENCE.]

"Anyhow."
(Put hand to stomach.)
"It's sorta like that."

"Like what,
Mein kinder."

"Well.....
(Squeeze eyes in a cramp.)
"Eh......ya know: you're
seduced by this real
big bowl a'
chocolate ice cream."

[WISE NOD.]
"Go on."

"Well...."
(Now, put both hands
to stomach.)
"It tastes so great,
and it feels so good,
goin' down, and all....."

[SMILE!]
"Yes?"

"But....ya just know.....
more sooner than later......"

[CURIOUS SMILE!]
"Yes, child?"

(Jump up from the chair.)
"It's gonna get BACK
at ya!"

[WISE NOD.]
***********************
The serpent
beguiled me
and
I ate.
[Genesis 3:13]

she had to look it up. It's
called 'lactose intolerance'.
Yeah, yeah; she knows about
those pills you can take.
It's better just to stay
away from the lactose.
