God is speaking to Moses.

God: I’ve got good news and bad news.

Moses: Give me the good news first.

God: The good news is that you have been chosen to deliver my people from bondage. I will force the pharaoh to free the people by sending plagues of locusts, frogs, darkness, devastatio­n, and more.

God: You have to prepare the environmen­tal impact statement.
