The Setting: In the van driving to Mimi and Bucky's house. The radio is tuned to the local Christian music station. A song is playing, and the girls are quietly singing along.
Suddenly, Belle asks her mom a question.
Belle: "Mom, what does 'mocking' mean?"
Mom: "To make fun of something or someone...why?"
Belle: "Oh nothing...it's just in this song."
Mom listens to the lyrics a little closer, and yup...there it is. Plain as day.
Music plays:
"Amazing love, how can it be...that you my king would die for me...Amazing love...I know it's true...it's my joy to honor you....in all I do... (chorus) You... are "mock-ing"...Jesus, you... are "mock-ing".
Both wonder if they will ever hear the song the right way ever again. At least it's clear for Belle now.
