INT. OFFICE - AFTERNOON
Andy welcomes Mike and Isa into his office.
ANDY
Mike, Isa, welcome.
MIKE
Thanks, Pastor Andy.
ANDY
So, only a couple more days.
ISA
We’re worried about the fires. Do you think they’ll get the church?
ANDY
I’m sure the firefighters are doing all they can to avoid any fire damage to our community.
ISA
But -
ANDY
Isa, don’t worry. Even if the whole town burns down, I will still marry you guys. I am committed to your ceremony.
ISA
Thank you.
ANDY
Speaking of which, this is our last session before the big day. I’m satisfied after meeting with you both over the last couple months that you are a great match. So why don’t we use this time for any questions you may have, spiritually or not, about what lies ahead.
MIKE
Sounds good.
ISA
Sure.
Andy waits.
ANDY
Do you have any questions?
ISA
(embarrassed)
Um...we were talking the other night and...
MIKE
...and, even though we are committed whole-heartedly to one another, we were wondering...
ISA
...about, you know...the, ah...
MIKE
...well, you know how everyone always jokes about the passion waning after marriage...
ISA
...right, we don’t want that to happen...we don’t want the passion to, ah...
ANDY
Wane.
MIKE AND ISA
Right.
ANDY
I understand what you’re saying and it’s a great question. How does a couple in love keep the passion alive?
Mike and Isa nod.
ANDY (CONT'D)
Trust in your love for one another, trust in God to guide you, and trust in your own imaginations to be thoughtful and creative. Look, there’s no pat answer to this. You’ll have to feel it out, excuse the pun, as you go along.
Mike and Isa laugh.
ANDY (CONT'D)
But, with the commitment you’re making to one another, I’ve no doubt you’ll be able to meet that challenge.
Mike and Isa nod in agreement.
