JOHN CARDILLO: Try that again, sicko! I was a cop!
JC'S FATHER (on ground): Son, I- ...ow...

J CARDILLO: I had a RADIO SHOW, old man. A RADIO SHOW!

J CARDILLO: And you HUG me? Like a [homophobic slur]?!
JC's FATHER: John-
JOHN CARDILLO: Just forget it. Trump's gonna lose because of people like you! (to gun) Come on, Duke.
*Exits*
JOHN enters his bedroom. Kneels on floor.
J CARDILLO: Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Etcetera. God? People are mad at me on Twitter. I just want Trump to win. I love my dad.
*he starts to cry*
CARDILLO: I know Biden loves his son. I know he's a good man. But Karl Rove said attack your opponent at his strength. I'm just trying to do what Karl Rove said. I had a radio show. I was a cop. Why do people hate me? God?
*Pause*
Are you there?
*A tear rolls down his face*
*Enter GOD (Mel Brooks)*
GOD: Get up, schmuck.
CARDILLO: God?
GOD: You were expecting maybe Brad Pitt? Yeah, it's me. The almighty me. Don't be such a putz, kid.
CARDILLO: I have seen the light.
GOD: Don't give me that crap. Grow up.
CARDILLO: Yes sir.
GOD: Vote Biden. Goodnight.
Hospital. FATHER in bed.
DOCTOR: He'll be fine. Fell down the stairs, huh? Gotta be careful!
CARDILLO: We will be. Right, pop?
*FATHER smiles. Doctor exits*
CARDILLO: God spoke to me. He said "Vote Biden."
FATHER: Well, he's God...
CARDILLO: Yeah. Sorry I groined you.
*They hug*
