Pharisee:
So what happens if a woman marries a man, he dies, she marries his brother, he dies, she marries his other brother, he dies, and so on until she has married seven brothers and they have all perished? Who is she married to in Heaven?
Judas:
Well, in Heaven, we'll all be like the angels.
Jesus:
Judas, I can handle this.
Judas:
Oh, um. Okay.
Jesus:
Like Judas was saying, we'll be like the angels. All of us. Except Judas.
Judas:
*sigh*
Jesus:
But I gotta ask -- what's up with this chick marrying the brothers? Is she killing these dudes? Because it sure sounds like she's killing these dudes.
Pharisee:
It's just an example, Jesus...
Jesus:
We should form a posse, go stone this bitch.
Judas:
I thought we were going to go easy on the stoning, Lord.
Jesus:
I’ve decided to start supporting local business.
Judas:
Really? Because you could start by buying my memoi-
Jesus:
Yep. Let’s go to Walmart.
Judas:
Oh, you’ve actually made a very easy mistake. Walmart is actually a huge corporation, kind-of the opposite of “local business”. And when I say that you made a very easy mistake, I mean, of course, the exact opposite. You are a cretinous human being.
Jesus:
What… what are you doing? That’s way too mean for you. Are you just going through the motions with this? Is that what’s happening?
Judas:
I have to say, Jesus, that this whole routine seems to be getting a bit stale. I’m beginning to legitimately hate you.
Jesus:
Wow. You know, you’re actually affecting me here, on an emotional level. For real. You’re right — I say some stupid things, and I’m cruel to you, and I need to grow up. I need to be the Jesus that we’ve been waiting for. I need to be a better human.
Judas:
Really?
Jesus:
No! Fuck you! Let’s go buy things at Walmart using your credit card and then stop in a bunch of small businesses on the way home and *gloat*.
Jesus:
Get moving, Judas, we gotta go sign autographs.
Judas:
I don't think that's a very messiah-y thing to do, Jesus.
Jesus:
Oh, don't worry, I'm not signing *my* name.
Judas:
Please don't tell me what you're doing. I don't want to know. Just leave.
Jesus:
Fine. Except no, I have to tell you, because it's awesome. I figured out that I can forge celebrities's signatures on documents saying that they attacked me in the street, and then I can go up to the celebrity and threaten to release the documents unless they give me money!
Judas:
So when you say "we gotta go sign autographs", you mean "I want to indulge in some fraud and extortion."
Jesus:
Sure, if you want to get all technical about it.
Judas:
Oh, believe me, there is nothing technical about any part of what you're doing. Which celebrities are you targeting?
Jesus:
This Pilate guy seems pretty popular.
Judas:
That's gonna come back to bite you in the ass.
Jesus:
Hey man, I have a question about David and Goliath.
Judas:
Shoot.
Jesus:
Okay, well, how come the little guy-
Judas:
Oh, I'm sorry, you didn't let me finish. I meant to say "shoot me". As in, "shoot me so that I don't have to answer whatever stupid question you currently have rattling around in your brain, you imbecile."
Jesus:
...I don't have a gun.
Judas:
I'm actually surprised, and heartened, by that fact.
Jesus:
Well, the cops confiscated it, so... Anyway. David and Goliath. How come the little guy won?
Judas:
I guess the easiest answer is to say that he didn't. Neither of them won. Because they didn't exist.
Jesus:
That answer's no fun.
Judas:
Oh, of course, I apologize. After all, the story of David and Goliath is all *about* fun.
