Take Two

           I

'Your money or your life.

...

'Well?'

'I'm thinking.'*


           II

'Gimme your money.'

'You do know that just because it's nighttime doesn't mean that you can't be seen.  That this all isn't being recorded, as part of your real record.  And that you will have to answer for your actions.  To set things right.  As a child of God, just temporarily in this realm of illusion, of seeming separation, of Choice, between good and evil.  To learn lessons, along The Way of a child of God.  That there is reason and purpose behind it all.  That life is a school, and the Purpose is to graduate.

...

'Well?'

'I'm thinking.'


Good.
