Scene: Pastor standing in water, raises hands to the air. Microphone is just at arms reach, and as he begins sermon, voice is quiet but audible. Large congregation, line of people to be baptized. Camera angle at back of congregation.
Pastor: Lord, may you strike down all of the evil doers, all of the adulterers, all of the money-changers! May you Reap Vengance upon the guilty, may you show your power to the blasphemers, the wicked, those who work on the sabbath and take your name in vain! Can I get an AMEN?!
No response from congregation
Pastor: I SAID, CAN I GET AN AMEN?!?!
No response
Old lady sitting at front row: Maybe use a microphone, Pastor John...
