"They are only for you to see..." "Even if people ask you to show the plates to them, don't" "Just copy them onto normal paper" "Even though this might make them question if the plates are real or not..." "This is sort of what God is going for..." "Joseph took the plates home and wrote down what he found inside" "He turned those plates into a book, Then he rushed into town and cried:" "Hey!" "God spoke to me and gave me this blessed ancient tome" "He has commanded me to publish it And stick it in ev'ry home!" "Wow!" "So the Bible is actually a trilogy and the Book of Mormon is Return of the Jedi?" "!" "I'm interested!" "Now many people didn't believe the prophet Joseph Smith." "They thought he made up this part three that was buried by a tree on the hill in his backyard." "Many people even called Joseph Smith a liar." "So Joe said," "This is no lie, I speak to God all the time and he told me to head west!" "So I'll take my part three from the hill with the tree" "Feel free if you'd like to come along with me to the promised land!" "Paradise, on the west coast!" "Nothing but fruit and fields as far as the eye can see!" "Joe led his followers across the USA" "Spreading their new religion to folks along the way" "They kept searching for that promised land, no promise there would be." "And as they passed through every town, the Mormons would decree!" "Have you heard of the All-American prophet?" "He found a brand-new book about Jesus Christ!" "We're following him to Paradise, we call ourselves Mormon" "And our new religion is All-American!" "Wow, this all sounds so incredibly awesome!" "The Mormons kept on searching for that place to settle down" "But every time they thought they found it they got kicked out of town" "And even though people wanted to see the golden plates" "Joseph never showed 'em!" "I have maggots in my scrotum" "Um... okay..." "Well, anyway..." "Now comes the part of our story That gets a little bit sad" "On the way to the promised land, Mormons made people mad" "Joseph was shot by an angry mob And knew he'd soon be dead" "And even as his life drained away, he stood by what he said:" "You must now lead the people, my good friend Brigham Young" "You're wise and pure of heart, and... all-Ameri... can" "Oh God, Why are you letting me die" "Without having me show people the plates?" "They'll have no proof I was telling the truth or not" "They'll have to believe me just... 'cause" "Oh..." "I guess that's kinda what you were going for..." "The prophet Joseph Smith died for what he believed in." "But his followers, they kept heading west." "And Brigham Young led them to paradise." "A sparkling land in Utah they called Salt Lake City." "And we come from there today to tell you what those early settlers sang long ago!" "Have you heard of the All-American Church" "Here's a pocket hand-held Bible for you!" "It'll all make sense if you read Part 3, so follow those books from the hill with the tree!" "And you'll reach the promised land too!" "Keep you word and then we'll also throw in a set of steak knives!" "All-American!" "So?" "Who would like their very own copy of the Book of Mormon?" "What the fuck is a steak knife?" "What the heck were you doing?" "!" "Just doing my part, you know, 'cause we're supposed to be a team." "Well... there's nothing in the Book of Mormon about steak knives!" "I'm sorry." "I've never actually read it." "You what?" "It's... it's just so boring!" "How could I even believe that you...?" "JUMAMOSI!" "He's here!" "What is this?" "!" "Some kind of public assembly?" "!" "My name is General Koni, leader of the NRA Rebellion and protector!" "Here you don't protect anyone!" "We have not signed up for your rebellion!" "It is just a gang of thugs who steal and mutilate women for no reason!" "For no reason?" "!" "The clitoris... is an abomination!" "Its voodoo power has brought a wrath upon Uganda and it must be cast out!" "My wife's body is none of your business!" "And you are no general." "By the end of the week, all females in this village will be circumcised!" "Or else..." "All right, they're all gone." "You have to stay indoors, Nabulungi!" "Keep the lights off, and the windows closed!" "But Baba, we have to help and fight him!" "We can't fight against this, Nabulungi!" "We just have to hope they move on!" " But Baba... they white boys..." " What?" "They said they know the answers to our problems." "I have to go check on the others!" "Listen to me, Baba!" "The Mormons talked about people who were miserable like us, but they all found someplace to go." "Somewhere wonderful." "I'm going to text them right now and tell them we are interested." "Put that stupid thing down!" "Just stay inside, and do not open the door for anyone!" "My mother once told me of a place With waterfalls and unicorns flying" "Where there was no suffering, no pain" "Where there was laughter instead of dying" "I always thought she'd made it up To comfort me in times of pain" "But now I know that place is real Now I know its name" "Sal Tlay Ka Siti Not just a story mama told" "But a village in Ootah Where the roofs are thatched with gold" "If I could let myself believe I know just where I'd be" "Right on the next bus to paradise:" "Sal Tlay Ka Siti" "I can imagine what it must be like This perfect, happy place" "I'll bet the goat meat there is plentiful," "And they have vitamin injections by the case" "The warlords there are friendly They help you cross the street" "And there's a Red Cross on every corner" "With all the flour you can eat!" "Sal Tlay Ka Siti The most perfect place on Earth" "Where flies don't bite your eyeballs And human life has worth" "It isn't a place of fairy tales It's as real as it can be" "A land where evil doesn't exist Sal Tlay Ka Siti" "And I'll bet the weather is nice there" "And I'm sure the streets are clean" "And I hope that when I get there I'll be able to fit in..." "Will I fit in?" "Sal Tlay Ka Siti A land of hope and joy" "And if I want to get there I just have to follow that white boy" "You were right, mama, you didn't lie The place is real, and I'm gonna fly!" "I'm on my way" "Soon life won't be so... shitty" "Now salvation has a name" "Sal Tlay Ka Siti" "O. M. Gosh you guys, I am freaking out!" "What is it?" "I just got off the phone with the zone leader." "The mission president wants a written progress report from us this week!" "A progress report?" "But we don't have any baptisms." "I know that!" "What are we gonna do?" "!" "Okay okay okay!" "Hold on!" "I mean, maybe we should just..." "say... we had some baptisms." "What?" "You mean, lie?" "Well..." "Are you an idiot?" "!" "Mormons don't lie!" "I once told a lie when I was 12 and I had a dream that I went to Hell!" "It was really spooky." "You did?" "I got the worst hell dreams after the day that my sister died." "You guys have the hell dreams too?" "Look, we've all had the Spooky Hell Dream, people." "I have it nightly." "The issue now is what the heck am I supposed to tell the Mission President!" "Elder Price?" "What happened to you?" "!" "Africa... is nothing like The Lion King!" "I think that movie took a lot of artistic license!" "He's upset because we just saw some guy get shot in the face." "I can't continue my mission in this way!" "There's absolutely nothing I can accomplish here!" "Elder Price, you cannot lose your cool on me now!" "We're about to get evaluated by the Mission President!" "The Mission President..." "That's it, I need to go talk to the" "Mission President and get transferred!" "Buddy!" "Buddy, I know things seem tough right now, but remember, tomorrow is a Latter Day!" "Yeah!" "Latter Day doesn't mean tomorrow!" "It means the afterlife!" "Reckoning!" "Latter Day, when good people get to go to Heavenly Father and they get everything they've always wanted!" "I'm out of here!" "Hey, hey!" "Are you forgetting Rule Number 23?" "!" "You may not..." "leave the living quarters after 9 pm!" "To heck with the rules!" "I'm not wasting the most important two years of my life!" "Hey uh..." "Hold up, you forgot me!" "Elder Cunningham!" "Do you also want to break Rule Number 23?" "Oh no!" "What am I supposed to do?" "According to Rule Number 23, I can't leave the living quarters after curfew!" "But according to Rule Number 72 I can't leave my companion alone!" "This is like a Matrix logic trick!" "Rule 23, Rule 72, Rule 23..." "I CAN'T SEE!" "It's been a thing since I was a kid." "I'm sorry guys, he's my best friend!" "Hey, come on!" "We're supposed to be together at all times!" "I can't do something incredible here!" "Okay!" "Stop, breathe, think!" "This isn't what you want to do." "Yes it is!" "Okay!" "Uhhh, right." "If that's what you want to do, then that's what we're doin'." "We're transferring." "I'm with you" "I didn't say we're transferring!" "I said I am." "Oh I see..." "Look, you and me, we're s- not that compatible, alright?" "Well we only became best friends a few days ago." "May" "And I'm not your best friend!" "I just got stuck with you by the missionary training center!" "I didn't mean to..." "I didn't mean to say "stuck"..." "It's just that" "Eh, yeah, yeah, it's fine." "It's, it's alright." "I know how it goes." "It's really fine." "I'll be, I'll be totally fine." "Yes!" "Yes, you will be fine." "It's just that we..." "need um... different things." " Right." " You know?"

"No!" "I have written Elder Price a text." "Here." "It says to please come back to the village." "We are ready." "To do what?" "To listen to him." "I texted everyone that we have to give Elder Price a chance." "Well I'm sorry, he's requested a transfer." "What is a transfer?" "That means he'll be sent somewhere else." "No, he can't leave." "We are ready to listen." "It's too late." "He's already made up his mind." "What about you?" "Me?" "What?" "He is gone, but you are still here." "You will lead us!" "Teach us everything about what is in the Book of Mormon!" "Me?" "Nooo!" "Noohoho!" "I'm a follower." "Everyone's waiting." "Come back to the village and you will have your listeners." "I swear it." "What did Jesus do When they sentenced him to die?" "Did he try to run away?" "Did he just break down and cry?" "No, Jesus dug down deep, knowing what he had to do" "When faced with his own death, Jesus knew that he had to..." "Man up He had to man up" "So he crawled up on that cross, and he stuck it out" "And he manned up Christ, he manned up" "And taught us all what real manning up is about" "And now it's up to me, and it's time to man up" "Jesus had his time to, now it's mine to man up" "I'm taking the reins, I'm crossing the bear" "And just like Jesus, I'm growing a pair!"

"I'm gonna man up all over myself!" "I've got to get ready It's time to, time to..." "What did Jesus do when they put nails through his hands?" "Did he scream like a girl, or did he take it like a man?" "When someone had to die to save us from our sins," "Jesus said, "I'll do it," and he took it on the chin!" "He manned up, and manned up" "He took a bullet for me and you That's man up, real man up" "And now it's my time to do it too!" "Time to be a hero and slay the monster!"

"It is time to..." "I have maggots in my scrotum!" "Indeed, it came to pass that the prophet Joseph Smith discovered the Book of Mormon on golden plates."

"They fought many great battles, but then, just after his crucifixion, Christ appeared." "I... am Jesus." "I've just been crucified on the other side of the world." "I only have three days before I am resurrected, but in that time I will preach here to you in America." "And lo, Christ spoke of many things, and the Nephites came forth and wrote the teachings on plates of gold." "Plates that became the Book of Mormon, a book that is still today read by missionaries all over the world!" "And it came to pass that the Nephites did gather together a great number of men, even to exceed the number of 30,000." "Uh..." "And it came to pass that, in the same year, they had a number of battles in which the Nephites did beat the Lamanites and did slay many of them." "And what the fuck does that mean?" "It means, you know, you should be nice to each other, or s- or something." "And lo!" "The LORD was so displeased with the Lamanites that he caused a cursing to come upon them." "And wherefore as they were white and delightsome, the LORD God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them, and God said" "Uh..." "Nev- mi-, never mind, let's, let's forget that part." "How is this supposed to make things better for us?" "The general is going to come back, and if he sees us here, we are all dead!" "Baba, please!" "We just need to listen." "To what?" "!" "Three hours we've been listening to him talk about stupid shit that happened on the other side of the Earth thousands of years ago!" "It has nothing to do with us." "Yeah!" "And those Nephites probably didn't even have AIDS to deal with!" "Uh?" "!" "Sure they did!" "Sure they did!" "Back then people had even worse AIDS!" "Yeah!" "And lo, the LORD said unto the Nephites:" ""I know you're really depressed, what with all your AIDS, and everything, but there's an answer in Christ."" "You see?" "This book can help us."

"This is all very interesting, but the general said that it is because our women aren't circumcised that God has brought this wrath upon us!" "No, doing that to a lady is definitely against Christ's will!" "How do you know?" "!" "Christ never said nothin' 'bout no clitoris!" "YES!" "YES HE DI-ID!"

"Just because the Lamanites have big Death Star weapons and stuff, doesn't mean you should let them run your lives, you know?" "There's more of you than there are of them;" "you've gotta stand up for yourselves!" Christ said." "Oh!" "Just like the way the Hobbits all stood up against Brigham Young's killers!" "Very good, Middala." "So, the Nephites..." "fought off the wicked Lamanites, and for punishment the Lord God turned the Lamanites... yellow!" "Oh!" "Like the Chinese!" "Right, right."

"I have never seen the people here so happy." "Even Baba." "You... are amazing." "Oh." "Well, I haven't really done that much." "But you have." "I texted my friend the story of Joseph Smith's battle with diarrhea, and he said everyone in his village has read it." "You are a great man." "Thank you." "I kind of am, huh?" "All the Mormons are such amazing people." "They traveled across the United States to find Paradise in Sal Tlay Ka Siti." "And even though they found it, they still travel the world to show others the way." "I guess I never really thought of it like that." "Do you think that we are worthy enough to join you?" "We have been trying very hard." "And we are ready to do whatever tasks you require of us." "Oh, no, no, no, no, you don't understand." "There's nothing they have to do to become Mormon." "We let anybody who wants to join up, so long as they're willing to commit to the Church." "Then we can... baptize them." "Well then, would you like to baptize me?" "Shh yeah, sure, that would be... great." "Okay!" "Let's do it!" "What?" "Now?" "Why not?" "Well... to be honest, I've never done it before." "That's okay." "Neither have I!" "I guess that's true." "Do you know how to baptize someone into the Church?" "Sssure, that's something we studied over and over again at..." "Mission Control Center." "Please, Elder Cunningham, I want to be baptized." "I swear to dedicate my life to the Church." "Hah, okay, I, uh, just need a second to get ready." "Okay!" "I'll go get ready too." "I'm about to do it for the first time" "And I'm gonna do it with a girl!" "A special girl" "Who makes my heart kinda flutter Makes my eyes kinda blur" "I can't believe I'm about to baptize her" "He will baptize me He will hold me in his arms" "And he will baptize me Right in front of everyone" "And it will set me free When he looks into my eyes" "And he sees just how much I love being baptized" "I'm gonna baptize her Bathe her in God's glory" "And I will baptize her With everything I got" "And I'll make her beg for more As I wash her free of sin" "And it'll be so good She'll want me to baptize her again" "Excuse me, I, I need another minute!" "Never known a boy so gentle" "One like him is hard to find A special kind" "He makes my heart kind of flutter Like a moth in a cocoon" "I hope he gets to baptizing me soon!" "I'm gonna baptize you!" "I'm through with all my stallin'" "You're gonna baptize me!" "I'm ready to let you do it" "And it will set us free It's time to be immersed" "And I'm so happy you're about to be my first!" "OK." "Are you ready?" "I am ready." "So how do we do it?" "Well, I hold you like this." "Yeah?" "Then I lower you down." "Yeah?" "And then I..." "I just baptized her!" "She got dowsed by Heavenly Father" "I just baptized her good!" "I performed like a champ!" "I'm wet with salvation!" "We just went all the way!" "Praise be to God!" "I'll never forget this day" "I baptized you!" "I gotcha good" "You wanted it more, baby!" "I'll text you later." ""Dear Mission President, it is my honor to inform you that the elders of Uganda District 9 have brought twenty new members into the Church." "They are all fully commited to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and our numbers continue to grow."" "This is outstanding." "These boys have converted more Africans than any district in the country." "Elders of District 9, you have truly honored the Church by your success." "Congratulations on becoming one..." "with the people... of Africa." "I am Africa I am Africa" "With the strength of the cheetah My native voice shall ring" "We are Africa We are the heartbeat of Africa" " With the rhino" " The meerkat" "The noble Lion King" "We are Africa" "We are the winds of the Serengeti" "We are the sweat of the jungle man" "We are the tears of Nelson Mandela" "We are the lost boys of the Sudan!" "I am Africa" "Just like Bono, I am Africa" "I flew in here and became one with this land" "I'm not a follower anymore No, now I am Africa!" "With my Zulu spear I run barefoot through the sand" "And I am Africa!" "Something incredible You've done something incredible" "I have never seen a rectal blockage of this kind" "I have seen patients in the past" "With rodents or bottles in their ass" "But this is something incredible And it blows my freakin' mind!" "We are the snows of Kilimanjaro We are gorillas in the mist" "We are the galleys of the Amistad We are Fela's defiant fist!" "We are Africa" "Oh Neosporin it's amazing!" "The mission president wants to meet me personally and he's gonna give me a medal!" "Oh elder, that is incredible!" "We are Africa The zebra and giraffica" "Are you telling me that an entire village is wearing white and dunking themselves into water?" "!" "Well what type of..." "voodoo magic is that?" "!" "It freaks me out!" "They must all be put to death!" "We are the Africa The one and only Africa" "And the life we live Is primitive and proud!" "We are Africa We are deepest, darkest Africa!" "We are the fields and fertile forest, well endowed" "We are Africa" "We are the sunrise on the Savannah" "A monkey with a banana" "A tribal woman who doesn't wear a bra" "Africans are African But we are Africa!" "Hit me!" "Gimme another one!" "Come ON!" "Thank you." "You wanna hear something funny?" "I used to think drinking coffee was wrong." "You wanna know why?" "HM!" "Because apparently, a tribe of ancient Jews lived in America, created huge civilizations and were visited by Christ, but then, then disappeared, leaving no archaeological trace of themselves except... for golden plates, which were then dug up by a farmer who wrote down," "amongst other things, that hot drinks were not for the body to belly, so I can't have a cup of coffee!" "Elder Price?" "Are you okay?" "Well well!" "If it isn't the super Mormon!" "Really changed in Uganda, aren'tcha?" "I'm doin' what I can." "Yeah?" "Spreadin' the Word?" "Makin' more brainwashed zombies?" "Elder Price?" "What happened to you?" "I woke up." "That's what happened." "Of course you woke up!" "You drank twelve cups of coffee!" "You tell me how it is, huh?" "!" "How is it you converted all those people into Mormons?" "!" "I don't know." "Once I baptized Nagasaki the others just fell into place." "You baptized that girl?" "Yeah, I did." "Don't hate on me, elder!" "You get everything you pray for!" "You're doing everything I was supposed to do!" "Doesn't that seem a little telling to you?" "!" "Well of what?" "That the universe doesn't work the way we were told!" "When I was nine years old, my family took a trip." "To Orlando, Florida." "And it was the most... wonderful, most magical place I'd ever seen." "And I decided right then and there," ""This... is where I want to spend eternity."" "My parents said that if I made God proud and I did everything the Church asked, in the latter days, I could have whatever" "I wanted." "So I worked." "And I worked." "And even when I studied Mormon stories and I thought," ""That doesn't really make sense," I kept working!" "Because I was told that one day I would get my reward!" "PLANET ORLANDO!" "But what do I have now?" "Um..." "Yeah..." "Okay, anyway, so, the uh, the mission president is coming tomorrow and, I'm without my companion and, well, it just looks kind of bad" "Aaaa-oh, so thaaat's why you came!" "Noo, I came because I care about you" "BULL POOP!" "That is bull poop, elder!" "And you know it!" "Look, I know we may not be the best "companions,"" "but if we can please just ACT like we're still together, in front of the mission president, it would be the best thing for the both of us." "Fine!" "But don't talk to me!" "And don't touch me!" " Fine!" " Fine!" "Orlando Orlando" "I liked you, Orlando" "Your bright lights Your big dreams" "Your promises you couldn't keep" "Orlando Orlando" "Without you, Orlando" "I'm just a guy who will die And never go back... to... you..." "Boys!" "You have all done the most amazing work on your missions." "You are the gleaming examples of Latter-Day Saints." "Praise Christ." "Praise Christ." "And you two, Elder Price and Elder Cunningham, you are the most successful missionaries in all of Africa." "Ohh, thank you sir." "My companion has been so very helpful and there for me." "Praise Christ." "Excuse me!" "Excuse me mister Mormon President?" "My people wish to give you a special welcome." "Uhh..." "Neutrogena, what are you doing here?" "We, we have learned so much from Elder Cunningham, and as our gift to you we wish to present the story of Joseph Smith and the first Mormons." "NOOOOOOOO!" "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" "I think this is a very bad idea." "Let's not do this." "No no no, elder, this is just the sort of thing the Mormon leaders need to be seeing." "Yes, yes yes, let's see what these noble Africans have learned." "And now we wish to honor you with the story of Joseph Smith, the American Moses." "Well, this is very good;" "praise Christ." "Mormon" "I'm going to take you back in time, (Mormon) to the United States, 1823." "(Mormon)" "A small and odd village called Upstate New York." "(Upstate)" "There was disease and famine, (so sick) but also in this village lived a simple farmer who would change everything." "His name... was Joseph Smith." "Joseph Smith, American Moses" "Praise be to Joseph, American prophet man" "Aye my name is Joseph Smith, and I am going to fuck this baby." "What!" "?" "No no Joseph, don't fuck the baby Joseph Smith, don't fuck the baby" "Then God came down from heaven and appeared before Joseph Smith." "Joseph Smith, do not fuck a baby" "I will get rid of your AIDS If you fuck this frog" "Joseph Smith fucked the frog God gave him, and his AIDS went away!" "Then a great wizard named Moroni came down from the Starship Enterprise." "Joseph Smith, your village is shit." "You shall lead the villagers to a new village." "Here are the fucking directions." "Away" "And on the plates were written the directions to a new land." "Sal Tlay Ka Siti (Sal Tlay Ka Siti)" "Joseph tried to convince all the villagers to follow him and his golden plates." "Liberation, equality, no more slavery for Upstate Mormon people!" "I got de golden plates (gold plates)" "I'm gonna lead the people (we head West)" "We gotta stick together (Mormons)" "We gotta help each other (we're Mormons)" "And so we climb the mountain (we head West)" "And we cross the river (we head West)" "And we fight the oppression (Mormons)" "By being nice to everyone (we are Mormons)" "Not so fast Mormons, you shall not pass my mountain!" "Down from the mountain look who comes:" "the American warlord Brigham Young!" "Yeees." "I am Brigham Young." "I cut off my daughter's clitoris;" "that made God angry, so he turned my nose into a clit for punishment." "Brigham Young, his nose was a clitoris" "What will you do Joseph, will you fight the clitoris man?" "Not fight him, help him." "Joseph Smith took his magical fuck frog and rubbed it upon Brigham Young's clit face." "And behold Brigham was cured!" "Joseph Smith, magical AIDS frog" "Brigham Young, frog on his clit face" "Brigham Young was so grateful, he decided to join the Mormons on their journey." "Compassion, courtesy, unrelenting politeness from Upstate Mormon People!" "I got de golden plates (gold plates)" "I'm gonna lead the people (we head West)" "We gotta stick together (Mormons)" "Now comes the part of our story that gets a little bit sad." "After traveling for so long, the Mormons ran out of fresh water, and become sick... with dysentery." "Mormon go to the water, water go to the cup" "Cup go to the stomach, shit come out the butt" "Shit go in the water, water go in the cup" "Shit go down the stomach, shit come out the butt" "Ugh, oh fuck!" "Oh no, the prophet Joseph Smith is now getting sick!" "Shit go in the water, water go in the cup" "Cup go to the thirsty, shit go to the stomach" "Blood come out the butt, blood go in the water" "Water go in the cup, cup go to the tongue" "Shit blood in the stomach, shit blood in the mouth" "Shit blood on the insides, water come out the butt" "Brigham Young, you take the golden plates and lead the Mormons to the Promised Laaaand!" "Desperation, mortality, perseverance!" "I..." "I..." "got de golden plates (gold plates)" "I'm got to lead the people (we head West)" "We gotta stick together..." "Even though their prophet had died, the Mormons stuck together and helped each other, and were really nice to everyone they came across." "And then, finally, one day the Mormons found" "Sal Tlay Ka Siti." "(Sal Tlay Ka Siti)" "And there, the Mormons danced with Ewoks and Jesus." "Welcome Mormons!" "Now, let's all have as many babies as we can and make big Mormon families!" "Fuck your woman, fuck your man, this is all part of God's plan" "Mormons fuck all that they can We're in Salt Lake City land" "Thank you, thank you, God" "Now we are fucking" "Thank you, thank you, God" "God wants us fucking" "Thank you, thank you, God" "Get back to fucking" "Thank you, thank you, God" "Joseph Smith, fuck frog" "Brigham Young, clit face" "Shit come out the butt" "Jesus says:" "fuck, fuck" "Mormons!" "Elders!" "I'd like to have a word with you..." "NOW!" "I think they liked it." "We are sorry, Mission President, we had no idea..." "You keep your mouth shut!" "You're in enough trouble as it is!" "S-sir, um, I was... just trying to help the villagers here." "See, they all really wanted to learn." "Elder!" "Elder, I wanted to give you this." "It's the entire play written in text." "What is going on?" "What's going on here is that you have all brought ridicule down onto the Latter-Day Saints." "But we are all Latter-Day Saints now, right?" "You and your people are about as far from being Latter-Day Saints as it gets." "YOU ALL!" "Elder Cunningham, tell them!" "We are ready to go to Sal Tlay Ka Siti." "My things are packed." "Um..." "I'm so sorry, Nabagamba, but um," "I never meant that you were actually going to Salt Lake City." "But you said that we could find paradise by listening to you." "Well... when we say that, we mean paradise within yourself." "You know, it's sort of like a..." "like a Jesus thing." "Oh..." "I see." "So, when you baptized me, it meant nothing." "No, no!" "It meant everything!" "Uncircumcised women are going to have their families killed!" "Where am I supposed to go?" "!" "I don't, um..." "I know what you people are now." "You traveled from your sparkling lovely paradise in Ootah to tell ridiculous stories to people less fortunate to make fun of them!" "No no, it isn't like that..." "You have crushed my soul!" "I hope you all had a good laugh." "Elders, you may as well pack all your things." "This district is shut down." "Go home to your parents, and explain to them that you have all..." "FAILED... as missionaries!" "I really did it this time, huh?" "I mean I've, I've always been a screw-up, but this?" "The thing is I, I really liked her too, you know?" "And in fact, maybe it was like I could almost be a normal person, with a girl who cared about me, who was... hot." "And instead I made those poor Africans put on the biggest abomination in Mormon history." "Joseph Smith dying of dysentery?" "Moroni from the Starship Enterprise?" "That play was the most... beautiful thing I've ever seen." "Huh?" "It's like..." "like you were getting a point across using modern things." "And then you tried to..." "wait a minute." "You've been trying to teach me something all along, haven't you?" "What?" "Here I thought I could just fly in here all on my own a-a-and change everything by just sticking to Scripture." "While you were trying to show me that, that Scripture isn't that important!" "I was losing my faith, and you went out and did... something incredible!" "You did something incredible" "For a people who had nowhere else to go" "I thought they were unreachable but then they were happy, and hopeful," "and wearing costumes." "It was almost like..." "Orlando..." "I'm sorry that it took me so long to... realize what you were trying to teach me, Elder." "Oh, no that's, that's okay." "But what about Nathan Lane?" "!" "I mean, I made her believe in a bunch of made-up crap!" "No, no, no, it doesn't matter if the stories are true or not!" "That's not the point!" "It doesn't matter now 'cause she's gonna get clit cut off and it's all my fault!" "Elder, come on!" "There is always hope!" "I will help you fix this!" "You... would do that for me?" "I'd do anything for you." "You're my best friend." "We all need a partner You're the best for me" "We both need each other" "We're a really awesome team" "As long as we're together There's nothing we cannot do" "We can make things right again, me and you" "But mostly me" "So, what did the Mormon President think of our play?" "Did Elder Cunningham like it?" "He knows we are still in previews, right?" "JUMAMOSI!" "Well, well." "There you are." "There have been rumors that the people of this village are uniting to oppose us." "Yes." "We have been shown another way." "No." "No, we do not oppose you." "We will do whatever you say." "Nabulungi, what is wrong?" "Our prophet has told us to stick together, to fight oppression!" "Forget about Elder Cunningham!" "You aren't going to see him ever again!" "What are you talking about?" "Why aren't we?" "Because Elder Cunningham..." "he... he... he was eaten by lions, alright?" "ENOUGH!" "There is only one law to obey here and that is mine!" "We believe in something else!" "No, stop it!" "All of you!" "I told you our prophet is gone." "There is no promised land, and there is no salvation." "Oh no!" "You cannot talk like that, Nabulungi." "Remember the first teachings of the Mormons:" "When Joseph Smith died, they did not give up on their hope." "But it isn't true." "We aren't going to Sal Tlay Ka Siti." "Nabulungi!" "Sal Tlay Ka Siti isn't an actual place." "It's an idea." "A metaphor." "All the stories the prophet has told us... are just metaphors." "Yeah." "You don't think a man actually fucked a frog, do you?" "That's fucking stupid." "And you all believe this?" "Yes." "Hello?" "He has risen!" "It is a miracle!" "Our prophet returns, even from the dead!" "There!" "You see?" "!" "He must have fucked a frog!" "Who?" "!" "Who has risen from the dead?" "!" "He has!" "He has!" "So, so you might as well just, just put down your guns!" "Because they will not work against his... voodoo power!" "And if you don't get out of this village, right now, he is going to command the angel Moroni, from the Death Star, to unleash the Kraken, which will then... which will then... which will then..." "launch Joseph Smith's torpedoes from its mouth of Christ and turn you into a lesbian!" "Oh!" "Oh Nala, I am so sorry!" "Please, if you just give me a chance?" "Elder!" "Elder, you don't have to say anything." "I understand." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, elders, where do you think you're going?" "What do you mean "where are you going"?" "We've been shut down." "Yeah, we have to go home." "Who says we have to?" "What?" "Guys, we wanted to go on a mission so we could spend two years of our life living someplace exciting and helping people, right?" "Yeah." "Well, so let's do it!" "But the mission president said we're all about as far from Latter-Day Saints as it gets." "Naw, you know what guys?" "Fuck." "Him." "We are still Latter-Day Saints!" "All of us!" "Even if we, we change some things, or we break the rules, or we have complete doubt that God exists." "It doesn't change who we are." "Latter-Day doesn't mean afterlife." "It means tomorrow." "I am a Latter-Day Saint I know not what the future holds" "There are sure to be times of joy and sorrow" "Who cares what happens when we're dead?" "We shouldn't think that far ahead" "The only Latter Day that matters is tomorrow" "Screw the Church!" "Why don't we stay?" "Tomorrow is a Latter Day Tomorrow is a Latter Day!" "The skies are clearing And now the sun's coming out" "It's a Latter Day tomorrow" "Put your worries and your sorrows and your cares away" "Tomorrow is a Latter Day Tomorrow is a Latter Day" "I am a Latter Day Saint Along with my whole town" "In love with someone Christ put my way" "My family would always doubt me Now Nabulungi really cares about me" "And together we will have a Latter Day" "We're here for each other every step of the way" "And make a Latter Day tomorrow" "Americans already found a cure for AIDS But they're saving it for a Latter Day" "Tomorrow is a Latter Day" "I believe (Tomorrow is a Latter Day)" "Love and joy and all the things that matter day" "Tomorrow is a bigger, better Latter Day" "Tomorrow, tomorrow is a Latter Day" "A happy ending on a platter day" "Tomorrow is a doper, phatter Latter Day" "The skies are clearing and now the sun's coming out" "It's a Latter Day tomorrow" "Put your worries and your sorrows and your cares away" "'Cause tomorrow is a Latter Day" "Tomorrow is a Latter Day Tomorrow is a Latter Day" "So what will tomorrow bring?" "What does the future hold?" "I can almost see it now..." "Hello" "My name is Elder Mutumbo" "And I would like to share with you the most amazing book" " Hello" " Hello" "My name is Sister Kimbe" "It's a book about a people who were poor and sad like you" " A sacred text" " Hello" " Of pioneers and frogs" " Fuck frogs!" "And how you can find salvation if you just believe" "Heigh ho!" "Ding dong Hello" "Boba Fett!" "You have a lovely mud hut" "And if you just put down the gun I'll show you..." "Oh!" "Ok, I'll leave!" "Hello" "My name is Elder Ghali" "You will love all of the happiness this book can bring" " Hello" " Hello!" "My name is Elder Warlord" "Did you know that the clitoris is a holy sacred thing?" " Find Paradise" " With Jesus Christ" "And no more war" " Hello" " Nice door!" "You read that Book of Mormon, Did you know there's more?" "Part Four" " We swear" " We really care" " This is not a scam" " No ma'am!" "Have you heard the story of our prophet Arnold Cunningham?" " Hello" " Arnold Cunningham" " Hello" " Arnold Cunning..." "Heh-hello!" "Hello" "Our church is going strong" "And if you let us in we'll show you how you can belong" "Join our family And set your spirit free" "We can fully guarantee you That this book will change your life" "Hello!" "This book will change your life" "Hello!" "This book will change your life" "This book will change your life" "The book of Arnold (Arnold...)" "Hello!" "We are Latter Day Saints We take life one day at a time" "When the chips are down We know just what to say" "The past may be in tatters But today is all that matters" "Because today is yesterday's Latter Day" "Thank you God!" "Ma ha nei bu, Eebowai!" "Why are Mormons happy?" "It's because we know It's a Latter Day tomorrow" "So if you're sad put your hands together and pray" "That tomorrow's gonna be a Latter Day" "Yeah!" "You know it's gonna be a Latter Day" "Tomorrow is a Latter Day!" "I still have maggots in my scrotum!"
