SCENE ONE -- THE HEAVENLY ARCHIVES

Stacks of filing cabinets climb to the ceiling. Two large wooden desks side by side, the angel RAPHAEL seated behind one, writing in a large old-timey ledger.

Then the Archangel GABRIEL rolls in across the stage on a chair (think Nathan Lane circa 2005, entrance applause) coming to a rest right next to Raphael's desk -- and collapsing onto it with a sigh.

RAPHAEL
Don't start again, Gabriel.

GABRIEL
It's 1999 -- one thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine years since all the excitement ended, and we were named co-Administrators of Defunct Prophets and Prophecies. Almost two thousand years since I had a chance to do my pageantry.

RAPHAEL
May we be blessed for two thousand more. Now -- is your time card late again?

GABRIEL
You don't get it, Raphael. You're made for bureaucracy -- but I was created to deliver good news. I used to be fun, Raphael -- I used to be exciting! You know, when I first appeared to that little virgin Mary to tell her the good news about Jesus, she said --

RAPHAEL
You've told me, Gabriel. Thousands of times.

GABRIEL
I'm sorry to be a bore, but -- people loved seeing me. I loved seeing people. And now I see... nothing.
