Nancy:  It is....(Unsure) I guess....

Tim:  (Surprised) What are you saying?  That you've changed your mind?

Nancy:  (Hesitates)  Well....no.

Tim:  (Insistent)  Then what?

Nancy:  (Indecisive) It's just going to be hard to leave, that's all.

Tim:  (Understanding)  I know, honey.  But we're committed to it.

Karie:  (Cuts in)  Soooooo?  Are you guys gonna tell us what's going on?

Phil:  Yeah, where ya goin'?!

Tim:  In a few months we'll be moving to New Guinea  -- Irian Jaya.  [Pronounced Ear-e-un Jai-ya].

Karie:  What?

Phil:  New Guinea?  Isn't this a little impulsive?

Nancy:  (Slightly sarcastic) We've had two whole weeks to think about it, Phil.  Why would anyone think selling our house and moving half way around the world is impulsive?

Tim:  It's not impulsive.  It's God!

Phil:  (Surprised) And how does God fit into this move?

Karie:  (Under her breath) I'm not sure I want to hear this....

Phil:  Karie!  Relax, will ya?!

Karie:  Relax?  Nancy's my best friend, Phil.  I'm upset.

Phil:  Why get upset before you hear what Tim has to say?

Karie:  (Stares at Phil for a moment) Good point.  (Looks directly at Tim) Go ahead, Tim.  Explain.

Tim:  Thanks, Karie. (Clears his throat)  A couple of weeks ago I was praying when....and I swear I'm not making this up....God spoke to me. 'You are to go to New Guinea' he said, just as plain as day.  And, suddenly, I felt this burning desire to go....  (Momentarily deep in thought)  Who am I to quarrel with God?

Karie:  (Not buying it)  That's....  weird!  God has never spoken to me like that.  (Turns directly to Nancy)  Nancy?  Don't just stand there, say something!

Nancy:  (Weakly) I'll miss you guys....

Karie:  (Under her breath) Mercy.  (To Tim directly)  So you're going to sell your home and move to a primitive country where there are cannibals? Cannibals do not kid around, Tim!  They actually eat people! 

Phil:  (Joking)  Then Tim won't have anything to worry about.  He's so thick skinned they'd never get through the first layer!

Tim: (Not amused)  You're a real commedian, Phil.  But don't quit your day job.

Phil:  (To himself) Boy.  New Guinea.  Saying it'll be a challenge is an understatement. (To the group)  Isn't it just like God to do something really unexpected? 

Nancy:  Tell me about it.
