 FOR REFERENCE.  

Act 1. Inciting incident

Scene 1. Kevin almost gets caught fortune telling on campus, escapes to bulletin board, meets Ruth, flirts and fakes starting a bible study.

b. Thaddeus warns Kevin about fortune telling, becomes unwitting accomplice, witnesses Kevin trying to get alone time with girl by lying, agrees to go to fake bible study.

c. Peter is teaching class, clearly disgruntled about something, barely into it, keeps referencing wife negatively, when Cody asks a question that derails him into a passionate rant about PC culture capping off the class.  PC student sees him after class (while Cody is still sitting there, encouraging her), and she starts telling him off, but he stands his ground about it.  Cody gets mad, calls him a name and leaves.

d. Lily and Ruth discuss their respective goals somehow organically (come up with something interesting), Ruth wants to get out and make a difference for Christ and evangelize the world, and Lily wants to, I dunno, take back Constantinople or something crazy weird like that.  Or maybe make the "meet cute" interesting enough so that Ruth's desires take precedent and come out of her organically, while Lily just comes off like a normal quiet homeschool girl.  That way the next scene she's in has more of an impact.

2. Fun and games

a. Kevin stalks Thaddeus outside of class, catches him on the way out, outs himself as a con man, tries to convince Thaddeus not to out him to Annie, explaining his backwards morality for fortune telling, and offering to help him get a girlfriend through training in the fortune telling arts,

b. Thaddeus is put off by Kevin and the longer he talks to him the more superior he feels, and he has flashbacks to people telling him he's pretentious and judgmental, and decides to befriend Kevin, and even agrees to keep quiet about his lack of Christianity mostly because he's pretty sure he's gonna strike out all on his own.

c. The PC student escalated the issue with Peter to the school board.  Peter has one-sided conversation with another student, Lily, afterwards when he's supposed to be discussing her weirdly gorey paper-mache depiction of the crusades, and talks himself into getting involved in one of the student groups, leading them both to the fake bible study flyer somehow.

d. Lilu also has one sided conversation with herself in Kevin Sorbo's office about her problems connecting with people and making friends, but with significantly less self-awareness than Kevin Sorbo.

e. Cody is idle as a few other PC people who have a stink on Peter plan to retaliate in some way.  Cody asks moral question, but is mocked for it, and she apologizes and goes back to just listening.

f.  Lily meets up with Ruth, Ruth tells her about bible study, and they both overhear part of the PC conversation and Ruth decides based on half information to fight for THAT cause in some way.

2.5. Midpoint

--Study group, exploring characters against each other, mostly via banter, jokes and completely failing to stay on the bible study topic; Outing their denominations, with noticeable tension between Cody and Peter.  Peter leaks details about his external conflict.  Peter and Cody have it outs a little, and Kevin starts to side with Cody, but when Ruth sides with Peter and adds the extra intention of doing something about it, Kevin switches gears to support Peter as well.  Cody backs off when Peter explains himself sufficiently.  Kevin agrees to join Ruth as she pickets.

3. Enemies close in

a. Scene where Ruth and Kevin are picketing, and encounter hardships for it (get spat on, etc).  Ruth stays positive, Kevin continues faking Christianity, but begins to ask what he got himself into with this girl.

b. Cody walks in on her PC friends in the middle of preparing for a bit of a "demonstration" wherin they make an example out of Peter.  Cody tries to talk them down, insisting that they had him wrong, or at least that they're going too far pegging him as a white supremacist.  They mock her more, and insist that these things need to be nipped in the bud, and use Ruth and Kevin as an example that white supremacists are already taking hold on the campus.  She leaves.

c.  Lily encounters Peter on campus on the way to coffee shop, and begins to talk his ear off about making new friends and belonging somewhere, and Peter becomes exacerbated.  Tries giving her advice, but she completely misunderstands it. 

d. Montage of Kevin and Ruth picketing and getting abuse for it, in absurd and unlikely ways, preferably to the tune of a syrupy Christian song about facing persecution.

e. Thaddeus approaches Kevin and Ruth, and has a double speak conversation to Kevin (so that Ruth doesn't catch on) about how all the lying is working out for him.  Kevin doubles down on his commitment, and offers a stack of leaflets to Thaddeus who refuses to picket and goes inside coffee shop.  Peter and Lily also pass with a greeting.  Ruth gets discouraged, and goes inside to grab a quick coffee for the two of them.

f.  A PC person, one of Cody's friends, stops to lay it on Kevin, but he quickly turns it around, admits he thinks she's right, but points at Ruth, confesses he really likes her and appeals to her "love is love" mentality, begging her to take a leaflet and pretend she's going home with it to say the sinner's prayer or whatever, so that Ruth will see and get encouraged.  PC person reluctantly agrees.  Ruth sees and is encouraged.  PC person is met with other PC people who collectively enter the coffee shop.  Cody runs up and is spooked that it's too late, and runs inside.  Kevin and Ruth decide the *real* protest is probably inside the coffee shop.

4. Resolution

a. PC students throw coffee on Peter, stunning him and Lily who is still pestering him, and begin slow motion shaking a spray paint can; Cody sees and slow motion yells "NOOO" as she leaps in front of it taking the bulk of the spray paint.  The PC students call her a traitor.  Most of the staff and other patrons back against a wall or out of the way watching the scene take place; the room is now divided between Cody's PC friends and the Bible Study crew.  Cody sticks up for Peter one last time, and Peter jumps in on his own behalf, mostly speaking as a faculty member, encouraging everyone as students to deescalate the whole situation.  The PC students refuse, telling Cody to step aside or get covered in spray paint Nazi symbols along with Peter.  Cody stands her ground, and Lily and Ruth join her. 

b. Kevin whispers to Thaddeus asking what a Christian would do in this situation.  Thaddeus responds that "you're not a Christian, stop acting like one", and Kevin whispers "you're right.  This isn't a job for Kevin the Christian, it's a job for Kevin the sleeze-ball."  Thaddeus starts to say that's not what he meant, but

c. Kevin jumps up on the counter and "borrows" a headset from one of the baristas and starts to make a speech, but realizes the mic isn't on, and the barista informs him that it's for the drive through.  He says "that's okay, I'll just project", and proceeds to make what he THINKS is a compelling "we're not so different/can't we all just get along" speech, but he keeps kissing the butts of the PC-crew then turning around and stage whisper kissing the Bible Study crew's butts like "everyone knows you're the best!" then turns and stage whispers "not really, you guys are the best, I'm just saying that to them" but everyone can hear him doing that, and aren't really amused.  In the end, the PC-crew leaves without spray painting anyone, Kevin calls it a success, but the conflict isn't *really* resolved.

d. Bible study closing scene with much more fun banter than the first scene, now that they all know each other and are on the same team.  Thaddeus finally asks if they're actually gonna study any bible.
