(Jesus & disciples jog in, looking hot & tired.)

Jesus: I’m tired. I’m gonna sit down. You guys go to town for food.

(Disciples leave. Jesus sits down by the water bottle & the woman.)

Jesus: Give me a drink.

Woman: Huh? Who me? You talking to me?

Jesus: If you knew who was asking you, you would ask ME for a drink of living water.

Woman: You don’t even have a water bottle. Where are you going to get living water?

Jesus: If you drink this water (point at the water bottle) you’ll be thirsty again. Whoever drinks the water I give, will never be thirsty again.

Woman: Hey, cool! Give me your water so I won’t be thirsty or have to keep carrying around this stupid water bottle any more.

Jesus: Go get your husband & come back.

Woman: Uh… I don’t have a husband.

Jesus: You’re right! You actually have had 5 husbands, and the guy you live with isn’t your husband.

Woman: Whoa! You must be able to read my mind! How’d you do that?

Jesus: I am the savior.

(The disciples come back)

Disciples: Why is He talking to HER?????

Woman: (shouting into the distance) Hey, you guys! Come over here! You’ll never believe who I found!

(Townspeople enter.)

Woman: This guy knows everything. He’s the savior!

Townspeople: (falling to their knees) Wow!
