INT. CALVARY WALK CHURCH - PASTOR DOYLE'S OFFICE - EVENING
We open up inside of the office of Matthew Doyle, Senior Pastor at Calvary Walk Church in Holston, Pennsylvania. The office is small but cozy. A large oak desk set on a an massive oriental rug is where we find our pastor seated. Bookshelves line the walls, with texts from the likes of Francis Chan, Tim Keller, C.J. Lewis, John Piper, R.C. Sproul, and of course, several versions of the Bible.
At the moment, Pastor Doyle's attention is divided between the computer screen that sits atop his desk (he is surfing the internet) and the telephone conversation that he is carrying on.
In the background we hear the voice of Bucky Reese come from the radio upon Pastor Doyle's desk-- Bucky is recapping his evening's show, and the local events.
On the computer screen is a wrestling article from the now-defunct Internet Wrestling Alliance. The headline reads: "An Unholy Alliance." There is an accompanying photo of Marty Sunshine, Carter Hayes, and Priscilla Price celebrating in the middle of a ring.
Pastor Doyle clicks on the link accompanying Priscilla Price's name-- it takes him to a page devoted to the antics of the "Metropolitan Mistress."
Pastor Doyle hangs up the phone. He stares off into nothingness for a moment.
And then he clicks onto a blank EMAIL, and begins to type.

Sweetie, I listened to the whole thing and I am telling
you, I don't think it was that bad....It was a slight
pause...don't you worry about it....No, your
mother didn't think it was bad either....

Oh sweetheart, I wish you would just distance yourself
from this whole Wrestletown ordeal... I just have a bad
feeling about what this is gonna do to our town, and it
pain's me to think of you being caught up in it....I am not
overreacting, did you hear about what when down at Chuck
Savage's place? Not to mention,I heard what that Clayton
Cobb fellow was saying on the radio, about bringing in the
sunshine...Sammy, I know how to do Google research.

Okay dear, be safe. Tell Bobby I

send my regards, love you too.
And then he clicks onto a blank EMAIL, and begins to type.
Dear Ian, I hope this letter finds you well. There is so much I need to catch you up on, but in short, I could really use your help right now. You see, something is happening to my community, it is being overtaken, and it is leaving me feelings of concern; and well, I know if anyone can relate to that sentiment it is you. I really could use your assistance. Please give me a call. Your friend, Matt.
