Anglican Book of Common Prayer: The Movie
From the Washington Post on Mel Gibson's apology:
"But after the film grossed more than $600 million, those execs raised Gibson on their shoulders and began optioning every goyish property from Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians to the Anglican Book of Common Prayer."
INT. MANSION – DAY
KARL (Jamie Foxx) is reading from the Anglican Book of Common Prayer while his partner BRUCE (Brad Pitt) is stealing diamonds from a wall safe.
KARL: Watch ye, for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cock-crowing, or in the morning; lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
BRUCE: He won't find me sleeping [SNAPS clip into his semiautomatic handgun]. Grab the diamonds -- let's get out of here!
EXT. HIGHWAY – DAY
BRUCE is driving while KARL is in the passenger's seat, holding the bag of diamonds and the Anglican Book of Common Prayer. They are being chased by dozens of police cars and a helicopter. Bullets are whizzing by their heads.
BRUCE: They’re gaining on us!
KARL (reading): O God, make speed to save us. O Lord, make haste to help us.
BRUCE: I second that!
INT. MOTEL – NIGHT
BRUCE and KARL are celebrating after outrunning the cops. Empty beer cans are scattered on the floor; the bag of diamonds sits next to the TV.
BRUCE: Not a bad day's work, huh?
KARL (reading): Praise be to the Almighty who guides us.
BRUCE: Amen, my brother. Amen!
