[Music] tomorrow's the big day huh not as big as
it be if folks didn't spend the day in church instead of outside more of my age right well see ya
is that supposed to be I don't know I panic oh let me handle this and would you like the Morning Report
sir oh let me guess the egg production is up I said I won't be dead I'd say we
have eggs of Plenty well that depends on how you learn things is the egg cake half full or half empty well then the
workers are happy uh though a little bit tired satisfying fatigue of productivity and
there will be a beautiful service at St March tomorrow you'd think so wouldn't you all in all this should be a glorious
Easter so um Mr nether don't you have chickens to
10. may I ask you a question no
foreign
what I wanted to ask you was well everything is going so well so couldn't
we uh close up shop just for Easter what close-up shop do you know what that
would mean you know when my grandmother started this Factory oh no here comes
the speech again 112 years ago yeah I know sir 113.
who's making Easter before you were born
113 years ago with one chicken and a coop
my grandma started dying eggs for the local girl scout troop
she started making money and that's her business group she got more hens and
colors and she knew just what to do
she built herself a factory to do what
she loved best she kept on dying Easter egg but then
you know yes sir I suppose it was bound to happen her age she could not hide
More Than A Hundred Years of Living and
then one day she died
but before she drifted off that day she
whispered in my ear those words I never shall forget I still
hear them loud and clear she said Abby she always used to call me
Abby Abby I taught you the family business and with my dying breath I say
you tell every single person
now at first this all confused me till then I realized
that as long as I make Easter eggs it's like she's still alive
she builds herself a factory to do what she loved best
and now keep making Easter eggs my one that no big West
tomorrow the world will see how I'm gonna make Easter even bigger and better
and Grandma will live forever just like she wanted so you see we can't just stop
the factory that would let Grandma down but Abby yeah Mr nether sir I am hello
there mind if we come in that'll be all now get back to work but I don't work here oh well I'm not hiring either oh no
that's not why we're here we came too you're that church fella aren't you well
yes I guess I am so why are you here well sir I know your grandmother used to bring you to church she loved Easter so
much yes then you'll come no but you said I said yes my grandmother loved
Easter what's not to love with the eggs and the candy oh but Mr nezer we miss
you at the Easter Service if you ask me you've got enough people locked up already sitting in those pews when they
should be out buying more eggs I'm sorry look I know my grandma like that old
church but I have no idea why I need to make Easter bigger to keep her alive and that church is just in the way what and
that's why I'm working on this oh
is that one's supposed to be me because I'm not that fat sorry
tomorrow is my grandma's birthday and she has given me a job to do
well I've been saving all my money to make a Easter dream come true
[Music] but don't you just love it Easter land
what's that supposed to be oh you're really going to love this I'll make
Easter last all year long we'll have Easter egg hunts every day to please the
massive throng throng it means lots of people everyone will buy my eggs and
I'll give them more to munch built by my yummy chocolate bunnies for
breakfast dinner lunch Grandma will be proud of me for keeping her alive and
dear church was her most favorite place
[Music] she builds herself a factory to do what
she loved best and so I'm building the Easter land my
one and only Quest that's not what she meant you can't do
that of course I have to be able to talk the bunny Factory too you can't tear it on the church that land has been in my
family for Generations if you just came to the service you'd realize you gotta talk to him Uncle Ebenezer Easter is a
time when when I am interrupted by people
in me and save the orphans connection [Music]
building something great and folks will come from miles around in trains on
bikes just like my little plastic chairs
I don't care about your service or your windows or your glass I'm gonna build a
world a place where Easter is a blasting won't help me with my deed get
out of here and don't come back I'll go what a company
if that church was
I can't believe it oh man is it you canceled Easter that's Mr nezer and
he hasn't done anything yet what are we gonna do
well we just need to have hope [Music]

Mechanicals chickens as far as the eye can see bye to get on quick but what
about the eggs age eggs can't attend chicken money real eggs plastic plastic plastic my friend in
whatever color you can make it faster faster plastic yes with mechanical chickens and plastic
wait a minute you can't make Easter bigger with plastic eggs
what a thing my friend no no no no no no hey you got it all right what do you
mean East is not about plastic eggs and bunnies and baskets but isn't Easter
supposed to last forever oh of course it doesn't plastic last forever yeah but I
don't see the difference well it's kind of if anything sure is fun how's that inventing show is fun plastic plastic

Easter land 10 off with the gift shop oh well that's generous what do you think out you

the present oh a present for me oh you shouldn't have no not a present be present Easter

another idea
oh what's this place listen
well if NASA really knew how his grandmother felt he wouldn't touch that old church I wouldn't no she sure loved
that old place did you know she paid for all those beautiful Windows herself I and the new
window we were going to unveil tomorrow she commissioned it just before she passed away she sure would have loved
everyone to see it now neza's Gonna Knock the whole thing down
dear this is a isn't an old sour nether's fault why I'd
like to take that old ghost girl and teach him a thing or two I'd leave his Easter basket into a pretty kettle of
fish I'd I'd I I guess he just needs to get out of that
factory and find out what Easter is really all about what a ninny and the
factory is what Easter's all about the eggs the baskets you don't get it do you
they're talking about the hope of Easter the hope of Easter changes everything if
you take it away you won't like what you get I'll get a lot more time for folks to buy eggs and that's what I'll get and
I'll get to build Easter land and keep my grandma alive forever [Music]
Mom Dad Edmond you're supposed to be asleep I know but I couldn't sleep and
well I've been thinking yes Mr Nazar isn't a bad man what a sweet
little boy no he just doesn't have something that we all have the thing
that lets us celebrate Easter all years long [Music]
how sick is he very sick I'm afraid well it is he gonna if nothing changes
this will be his last Easter oh when are the doctors going to tell its
parents [Music] what

if you just believe
there is nothing to fear nothing happened
[Music]
and to give us hope he wrote he died for us to give us

the hope of Easter is life Everlasting if you believe in who he is and what he
did for you if you believe of course we all have to live without
decisions the world will be a better place if that church was never built what oh oh that I'm afraid it's time to
see what this town would be like without the Hub of Easter welcome to Easter future

what did you say I said don't touch this church I know I told you to tear it down that
we'd all be better off without it I was wrong I know that now I thought
Easter was about eggs and Candy but it's more than that it's about Hope and the
hope that this life isn't all there is that dying isn't the end it's a new beginning if you believe
that's what my grandma was trying to tell me well that's what this church has been telling people since since before I
was born I've seen what life would be like without the hope I used to and believe
me you don't want to go then this church is staying right here so
