Midnight Screenings

[reading Colton Burpo's tweets]

David Gobble:
"God has a fire sword."

Brad Jones:
Did he just go see Noah? Has a sword of fire! Sweet!

David Gobble:
"Because of what I have seen, I am always ready to die."

Brad Jones:
Uh, so is, I, uh... I'm with Sarah. This kid's gonna murder us all!

David Gobble:
"I am just a normal kid. I love football and Minecraft, and I have met Christ."

Brad Jones:
[snorts] Okay.

David Gobble:
"God will claim all his children."

Brad Jones:
Man, again! You say that in John Malkovich's voice... goddamnit! This reads like a parody account, but it's not!

David Gobble:
"As he must come for all of us, heaven babies are forever babies."

Brad Jones:
That's horrifying! I don't think Heaven is like being stuck on, like, the worst airline ever!

David Gobble:
"I will make them believe."

Brad Jones:
What does that mean? Goddamnit, what does that mean?

David Gobble:
"I am not afraid of what I am becoming."

Brad Jones:
Don't give this kid guns. Please.

David Gobble:
"You have no concept of what seeing God does to a human mind."

Brad Jones:
I'm starting to see what it does to a human mind!

David Gobble:
One day ago, he tweeted, "I know how the world ends!"

Brad Jones:
Well, why don't you tell us! That should be the first thing that you say! You know, this story's getting a lot more elaborate every time he says it! I would've lead with "I know how the world ends." If you know how the world ends, who don't you tell us?

David Gobble:
"Even in heaven, the wounds of Jesus bleed. They forever bleed."

Brad Jones:
So Heaven is for real; they just don't have any band-aids.

David Gobble:
"Mom says I came back different." This is amazing!

Brad Jones:
[breaks out into laughter]

Jerrid Foiles:
[to Jake] Go on.

Jake Norvell:
I'm laughing my ass off. I didn't do it, okay. I don't appreciate you immediately coming to the conclusion that I did like this movie.

Brad Jones:
Sorry, sorry.

Jake Norvell:
But in your defense, there's a very good possibility I did, but no.

Jerrid Foiles:
Let's just say this, there was another couple in that, uh, in that theater.

Brad Jones:
You weren't alone?

Jake Norvell:
[shaking his head giddily]

Jerrid Foiles:
No.

David Gobble:
No, no, no, no, no. Explain the story in full please.

Brad Jones:
I think I know where this is going.

Jake Norvell:
Oh, you should. So, uh, we're sitting there, and, um, the ticket lady first came in and just, like, sat there, staring at us, and I was like, "How ya doin'?" She's like, "What movie is this?" I was like, "Mr. Popper's Penguins! Come on in! Have a seat! We're the only ones watching it!" She laughed and laughed and I'm sitting there watching the commercials I just paid ten dollars to see. And, uh, this couple walked in, and they were walking up, and the guy was like, "Wow! I thought we were gonna be the only people here." And I was like, "I was thinking the exact same thing when you guys came in."

Brad Jones:
Yeah.

Jake Norvell:
I didn't think much of it.

Brad Jones:
Uh-huh?

David Gobble:
Continue

Jake Norvell:
This is exactly where it's going.

Brad Jones:
[laughing]

Jake Norvell:
Um, so we're sitting there, and, uh, we're watching the newest tweeny movies that are going to come out.

Brad Jones:
Yeah?

Jake Norvell:
And, uh, I hear a moan. Uh, a female moan. And I was like, "What the f*** was that?" And I started to laugh, because they're sitting, like, in the very top row of the theater, alright, way behind us. I'm sitting, we're sitting front row. I mean, not front row, center, like in the middle of the row, the ideal viewing spot.

Brad Jones:
Yeah.

Jake Norvell:
And I heard that, so I started to giggle, because it's [blows raspberry] midnight, and I'm tired. And, uh, and then I hear, "Uh! Ouch!" So like what is going on up there?

Brad Jones:
That doesn't go there!

Jake Norvell:
[continuing his story] I turned around to look, and I didn't see anything, so I was like, "Well, okay."

Brad Jones:
Uh-huh?

Jake Norvell:
And then, uh, the girl walked down the aisle, this is all of course before the movie ever started.

Brad Jones:
Oh!

Jake Norvell:
And, um, so she was walking and she tugging at her shirt a little bit like, you know, like, pulling it down. So, "What the f*** are they doing up there?"

Brad Jones:
Uh-huh.

Jake Norvell:
And so she comes back in, the movie's started. So I'm sitting there watching this just, just... awful movie... and I start to hearing this rhythmic...

Jake Norvell:
[makes fist and taps it rhythmically on his leg]

Brad Jones:
[laughing]

Jake Norvell:
Right?

Brad Jones:
It wasn't just the penguins slapping their feet or whatever?

Jake Norvell:
Oh no, no. No, no, the penguins have not shown up yet. And so I'm hearing this and at first...

Brad Jones:
[laughing hysterically]

Jake Norvell:
At first I thought Jerrid was just ripping ass, because it sounded like it was coming right beside me, and I look beside me and Jerrid's just like...

[c*cks head sideways]

Jake Norvell:
Neh! So I was, like, it wasn't Jerrid?

Jerrid Foiles:
I really was, just, brain-dead, 'cause this movie was just so bad.

Jake Norvell:
It was, it was bad. It was *bad*. And, um, so I'm like, "OK, it's not Jerrid, then what are they doing up there?" And I turned, and, uh, I'm sitting kinda like this.

[slouches in seat]

Jake Norvell:
And they can't see me. So I go like that to turn around...

Jake Norvell:
[turns head around]

Jake Norvell:
[turns back] And when I looked up there, I saw titties.

[everyone busts out laughing]
