INT - MURRAY’S KITCHEN - DAY

Murray is sitting at his table, numb, and in shock.

MURRAY

It’s happened again. First John the Baptizer. And now Jesus of Nazareth.

(looking to the heavens)

Why do they have to kill off all the good guys?

Murray sighs and gets up.

MURRAY

I’ve been moping around since yesterday. I better try to get some work done.

EXT - MURRAY’S KITCHEN - DAY

Murray is finishing loading up his donkey FESTUS with catering utensils and containers.

MURRAY

Festus, it looks like we picked a beautiful Sunday to be traveling.

Murray and Festus proceed down the street.

MURRAY

A trip to Bethlehem might do me some good.
