ALVIN What's that? THOMAS A work in progress. (Alvin takes the pages and reads.) ALVIN "Every Christmas Eve we’d make angels in the snow, just like every other kid has done. We’d stretch out our arms and legs. Then we’d wave them to and fro, in a halo of the late December sun." "AND ONCE A YEAR WE BELIEVED THERE WAS MAGIC ALIVE IN THE AIR FOR THE ANGELS WE MADE LYING THERE." Hm. I like this. "PROUDLY WE’D CREATE OUR TWO ANGELS IN THE SNOW WITH REVERENTIAL ROBES AND PERFECT WINGS. WE’D SPEND HOURS IN THE YARD ALL THOSE CHRISTMASES AGO AND WHEN AT LAST THEY WERE COMPLETE WE FELT LIKE KINGS. THEN AS THE SUN DISAPPEARED..." (Alvin realizes that this is all Thomas has written.) This is it, Tom? (Thomas takes the pages from Alvin and searches for words to complete the sentence.) THOMAS THEN AS THE SUN DISAPPEARED... AND WITH SNOW DOWN THE BACK OF OUR PANTS WE WOULD WAIT FOR OUR ANGELS TO DANCE. (Thomas tosses the pages into the air creating a blizzard of papers. The blizzard becomes a gentle snowfall.) THE ICY WIND WOULD WHIP THE SNOW FROM THE GROUND ALVIN AND THE TREES WOULD MOAN A SWEET CELESTIAL SOUND. THOMAS THEN THE ANGEL SOULS WERE WIDE AWAKE BOTH AND ALIVE ON EVERY SINGLE FLAKE. THEY WHIRLED ALL AROUND US AS WE STOOD LIKE STONE. THOUSANDS OF ANGELS WITH LIVES OF THEIR OWN. EACH ONE WITH A SEPARATE STORY JOINING IN ONE BURST OF GLORY. THOMAS BUT THEN THE SNOWFLAKES SCATTERED AND THEY FLEW AND OUR ANGELS DID TOO. BOTH EVERY CHRISTMAS EVE WE’D MAKE ANGELS IN THE SNOW THOMAS AND EVERY YEAR WE’D WATCH THEM DISAPPEAR. ALVIN THEY’D DISAPPEAR. THOMAS BUT I KNOW THAT THEY’LL RETURN AND THOUGH THE YEARS MAY COME AND GO WHEN I NEED TO HAVE THEM WITH ME THEY’LL BE HERE. (Alvin looks Thomas in the eye with reassurance.) ALVIN THEY’LL BE HERE. THOMAS THEY’LL BE HERE. ALVIN THEY’LL BE HERE. BOTH SWIRLING ROUND AND AROUND IN A MAGICAL CHRISTMAS EVE GLOW. THE WAY THEY DID THEN BACK WHEN WE WERE JUST TEN ALL OUR ANGELS AGAIN IN THE SNOW. (Thomas and Alvin embrace one final time and Alvin vanishes. Thomas finds himself once again in the funeral chapel. He goes to the podium, closes his notebook and speaks.) THOMAS We are gathered to honor the life of Alvin Kelby. He was my best friend. Let me tell you a story about Alvin...
