Making Things Up Again
Original Broadway Cast of The Book of Mormon
[ELDER CUNNINGHAM, spoken]
And lo, the Lord said unto the Nephites: "I know you're really depressed, what with all your... AIDS...and everything... but there is an answer in Christ."

[NABULUNGI, spoken]
You see? This book CAN help us!

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM]
I just told a lie
No, wait, I didn't lie
I just used my imagination
And it worked!

[CUNNINGHAM'S FATHER]
You're making things up again, Arnold

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM, spoken]
But it worked, Dad!

[CUNNINGHAM'S FATHER]
You're stretching the truth again
And you know it
[JOSEPH SMITH]
Don't be a Fibbing Fran, Arnold

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM, spoken]
Joseph Smith...?

[SMITH, FATHER ]
Because a lie is a lie

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM, spoken]
It's not a lie!

[MORONI, MORMONS, SMITH, and FATHER:]
You're making things up again, Arnold

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM, spoken]
Oh, conscience!

[MORONI, MORMONS, SMITH, and FATHER:]
You're taking the holy word
And adding fiction!
Be careful how you proceed, Arnold
When you fib, there's a price

[MIDDALA, spoken]
Ehh, this it bullshit!  The story I have been told is that the way to cure AIDS is by sleeping with a virgin!  I'm going to go and rape a baby!
[ELDER CUNNINGHAM, spoken]
What?! Oh my-NO! You can't do that! NO!

[MIDDALA, spoken]
Why not?

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM, spoken]
Because that is DEFINITELY against God's will!

[MIDDALA, spoken]
Says who? Where in that book of yours does it say anything about sleeping with a baby, huh? Nowhere!

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM, spoken]
Uhhhh, behold! The Lord said to the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith "You SHALL NOT have sex with that infant!" LO! Joseph said: "Why not, Lord? Huh? Why not?" And the Lord said, "If you lay with an infant, you shall...burn in the fiery pits of Mordor!"

[MIDDALA, spoken]
Really?

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM, spoken]
Uh-huh... Uh-huh! "A baby cannot cure your illness, Joseph Smith.  I shall give unto you... a frog!" And thus: Joseph laid with the frog, and his AIDS was no more!

[UGANDANS, spoken]
Ohhhhh!

[MORONI, MORMON, SMITH, and DAD]
You're making things up again, Arnold
You're recklessly warping
The words of Jesus!
[HOBBITS]
You can't just say what you want, Arnold!

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM, spoken]
Come, on, Hobbits!

[ALL]
You're digging yourself a deep hole!

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM]
I'm making things up again, kinda
But this time, it's helping
A dozen people
It's nothing so bad because this time
I'm not committing a sin
Just by making things up again, right?

[ALL]
NO!

[NABULUNGI, spoken]
Elder Cunningham, you have to stop him!

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM, spoken]
What? What is it?

[NABULUNGI, spoken]
Gotswana is going to cut off his daughter's clitoris!

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM, spoken]
Huh?

[GOTSWANA, spoken]
This is all very interesting.  But women have to be circumcised if that's what the General wants!

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM, spoken]
No, no, doing that to a lady is definitely against Christ's will!

[GOTSWANA, spoken]
How do you know? Christ never said NOTHIN' 'bout no clitoris!

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM, spoken]
YES! YES HE DID! In ancient New York, three men were about to cut off a Mormon woman's...clitoris.  But...right before they did, Jesus had... BOBA FETT turn 'em into FROGS!

[GOTSWANA, spoken]
Frogs?

[ASMERET, spoken]
You mean like the frogs that got fucked by Joseph Smith?

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM, spoken]
Right! Right! Like THOSE frogs! For a clitoris is holy amongst ALL things, said he!

[MORONI, MORMON, SMITH, DAD, and HOBBITS]
You're making things up again, Arnold

[UGANDANS]
We're learning the truth!

[MORONI, MORMON, SMITH, DAD, and HOBBITS]
You're taking the holy word
And adding fiction!

[UGANDANS]
The truth about God!

[MORONI, MORMON, SMITH, DAD, and HOBBITS]
Be careful how you proceed, Arnold
When you fib, there's a price!

[UGANDANS]
We're going to paradise!

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM]
Who would have thought
I'd have this magic touch?
Who'd have believed I could
Man up this much?
I'm talking, they're listening
My stories are glistening
I'm gonna save them all
With this stuff!

[UGANDANS]
Ooooh- La

[MORONI, MORMON, SMITH, DAD, and HOBBITS]
You're making things up again, Arnold

[UGANDANS]
Elder Cunningham!

[MORONI, MORMON, SMITH, DAD, and HOBBITS]
You're making things up again, Arnold

[UGANDANS]
Holy prophet man!

[MORONI, MORMON, SMITH, DAD, and HOBBITS]
You're making things up again, Arnold

[UGANDANS]
Our savior!

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM]
You're making things up again

[WIZENED OLD JEDI MASTER]
Hmmm, up again, making things, you are

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM]
I know
