Miracle! Oh, what a beautiful name! What's yours?

I'm really sorry to hear that.

Roman Officer
[offscreen]

Seize him!

Josephus
[grabbing his crotch]

Seize THIS, honkus!

Comicus
[covering his mouth]

NO! Don't ever say that to the cops!

Roman Officer

ARREST HIM! [his guards do so] Do you know the punishment for a slave who strikes a Roman citizen? [the crowd starts shouting and raising hands] Okay, you...You had your hand up first.

Onlooker 1

Death by torture!

Roman Officer

No. You?

Onlooker 2

Crucifixion!

Roman Officer

Wrong. How about you?

Onlooker 3

They shove a living snake up your ass!

Roman Officer
[surprised]

Wow...! Ah, no; but that's very creative. How about you?

Onlooker 4

They send you to the lions!

Right!

[alarmed]

NO!

What do you mean, no? He was correct; if a slave decks a Roman citizen, the slave is lion-chow!

Hey, hey, hey, so you say. But one who sits amongst has already betrayed me this night.

No! Leave us alone!
