Judas Iscariot: I haven't thought at all about my own reward; I didn't really come here of my own accord. Just don't say I'me damned for all time! Annas: Cut the confessions, forget the excuses. We want information, get up off the floor! Caiaphas: We have the papers, we need to arrest him. You know his movements, we know the law. Annas: Your help in this matter will not go unrewarded. Caiaphas: We'll pay you in silver, cash on the nail. We just need to know where our soldiers can find him, with no crowd around him. Then we can't fail. Judas Iscariot: I don't need your blood money! Pharises: That doesn't matter, our expenses our good. Judas Iscariot: I don't want your blood money! Pharises: But you might as well take it. We think that you should. Caiaphas: Think of the things you could do with this money. Choose any charity, give to the poor. We've noted your motives, we've noted your feelings. This isn't blood money it's a fee nothing - fee nothing - fee nothing more...

Are yours the same as mine?

Pontious Pilate: Look at your Jesus Christ! I'll agree, he's mad! Ought to be locked up! But this is not a reason to destroy him! Jews: Crucify him! Crucify him! Pontious Pilate: He's just a sad, pathetic little man! Not a king or a god! Not a thief! I need a crime!

Pontious Pilate: Who is this broken man cluttering up my hallway? Who is this unfortunate? Annas: Someone Christ, King of the Jews. Pontious Pilate: Oh, so this is Jesus Christ; I really am surprised, you look so small! Not a king at all! We all know you're news, but are you King? King of the Jews?

17
Pontious Pilate: Why is he different? You Jews produce "messiahs" by the sackful!
