In this song (not included on the album) Marcy faces Jesus and learns that she is allowed to fail…if she so wishes.
[MARCY, spoken]
Camouflage.
Dear Jesus, can't you come up with a harder worth than that?
[JESUS, spoken]
Of course I can, my child.
[ALL]
Aaaahhhhhh!
[JESUS appears, played by actor playing Chip.
MARCY is absolutely astounded to see him - none of her parochial education has prepared her for this.
[MARCY, spoken]
Jesus?
[JESUS, spoken]
Marcy?
[MARCY, spoken]
Hi!
[JESUS, spoken]
Hi.
[MARCY, spoken]
How are you?
[JESUS, spoken]
I'm good. Is that your prayer, Marcy, for a more difficult word?
[MARCY, spoken]
Well yeah, it was but now that you're here can I ask for something better?
[JESUS, spoken]
I'm here for you now Marcy. C'est pour toi que je suis ici.
[MARCY, spoken]
Jesus... I was wondering what would happen if I didn't win today.
[JESUS, spoken]
What do you think would happen?
[MARCY, spoken]
I don't know, but what I mean is, would you be disappointed with me if I lost?
[JESUS, spoken]
Of course not-but Marcy? I also won't be disappointed with you if you win
[MARCY, spoken]
You're saying it's up to me then?
[JESUS, spoken]
Yes, and also, this isn't the kind of thing I care very much about
[MARCY, spoken]
Camouflage. C-A-M....O-U.....F-L...A....J..Z!! H!!!
Camaflajzh!
[The bell rings.]
[MARCY, spoken]
I blew that word
I blew that word
Praise Jesus!
Life has such possibility
Here's where I begin
The best speller won't necessarily win!
I won't win! I won't win!
I won't win!
[GIRLS]
She blew that word!
Praise Jesus!
She won't win
Goodbye!
Jesus was written by William Finn.
