And Now A Musical Interlude With Judas And Jesus

JESUS

Peter will deny me
In just a few hours.
Three times he’ll deny me.
And that’s not all—
I see one of you here dining
One of my twelve chosen
Will leave to betray me.


JUDAS

Cut out the dramatics!
You know very well who.


JESUS

Why don’t you go do it?


JUDAS

You want me to do it?


JESUS

Hurry.
They’re waiting.


JUDAS

If you knew why I do it...


JESUS

I don’t care
Why you do it!


JUDAS

To think I admired you.
Well now I despise you.


JESUS

Liar. You Judas.


JUDAS

You want me to do it!
What if I just stayed here
And ruined your ambition?
Christ you deserve it.


JESUS

Hurry you fool.
Hurry and go.
Save me your speeches
I don’t want to know.
Go.
Go!
