The Wedding At Cana

Scene 1
Int. Night. A grand party taking place for a wedding.

Mary: Jesus! Martha’s up the creek here. So many guests have turned up she’s run out of booze. Can you help her out?

Jesus: Do you want the lads to nip to the offie? They can bring back 12 cases.
Mary: No. I was rather hoping you’d do one of your tricks.

Jesus: Mother! I’ve told you before, they’re only for something special.

Mary: Have you seen the number of people here? It’ll be great for your career, be fantastic PR.

Jesus: ( Sighs) Ok. Tell them to fill up five barrels with water.

Scene 2
Int.Day. A living room type setting. Mary is reading a newspaper shaking her head in disbelief. We see the article she is reading has the headline “Drunken Rampage in Cana”

Mary: Special Brew. Idiot.

Ends.

This is a very funny idea and would make a great little sketch with a bit of polishing and a sharpening.

I know exactly how I'd write it but I'll keep my ideas to myself for now.

You do have the makings of gem, though.

Yes I'm loving the premise too.
But I don't think the punch works as well as it could.
