„Okay," God nodds towards his private theatre troup. „Please continue, my
dears."
Jesus looks at Olivia. „Shall I help you with the words?" Olivia gives him a friendly smile. „I think I know the story, and the words will come to my mind, when I need them."
„That`s exactly the way I used to preach." Jesus returns her smile.
„Maybe this was the problem." Judas approaches them staring at Jesus who squirms under Judas`intense gaze. „You`d have managed better, if you`d had it planned." Judas adds quietly, then he turns to Olivia and his dark eyes sparkle vividly. „I`m really looking forward to this scene. I always thought I had too few scenes with Mary." He grins cheekily and a light red flushes over Olivia`s cheeks.
„I think your scene is at the end of the song," Jesus steps between the two building a human wall. „so you can leave us alone for the moment." He smiles slightly, but a wary expression remains in his eyes.
Judas grins almost diabolically. „Well, Jesus, your memory fails you. Mary hasn`t been in this scene from the beginning herself. She better comes with me so you can focus on getting upset over your disciples. Not that this would be so difficult." He adds maliciously and reaises his hand, when he sees Jesus open his mouth. „Ah, don`t worry, I`ll tell her all she has to know about the scene." With these words he reaches for Olivia`s hand and pulls her into a corner of the stage half hidden behind a big column so that noone from the audience can see them.
„I don`t like this." Luzi complains worried. „They should stay in sight."
„Ah Luzi," God tries to calm her. „it´s not their scene, at least not at the beginning, so they shouldn`t be visible on stage."
„But..." Luzi rebels.
„No," God shows a determined gesture. „They can stay in the background. Besides" he adds with softer voice. „It won`t take long till they have to be on stage theirselves. So what could happen in the meantime?" he looks warmly at Luzi waiting for an answer. Luzi grubles and mumbles and finally admits grumpily: „Nothing I suppose."
God smiles broadly."Good, so let`s continue."
Jesus, who can see Olivia and Judas clearly, isn`t calmed himself and shoots upset glances in the direction of the two people, who whisper and giggle and obviously have an entertaining time. But before he can take any action, he`s already approached by the scanty remains of his little sext, consisting of Peter, Jacobus and Simon.
They surround him singing with all their mights as if they wanted to win some competition.
WHAT`S THE BUZZ`TELL ME WHAT`S A HAPPENING
WHAT`S THE BUZZ? TELL ME WHAT`S A HAPPPENING
WHAT`S THE BUZZ? TELL ME WHAT`S A HAPPENING
WHAT`S THE BUZZ? :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The disciples may be really enthusiastic, but they`re definitely not particularly inventive, repeating the same phrase over and over again.
Jesus slowly gets impatient and his frustration grows even more as he looks over to Judas who leans forward and whispers something into Olivia`s ear, causing her to stifle a giggle.
Jacobus and Peter look confused at each other; Jesus has missed his entrance, and so they begin a new.
WHAT`S THE BUZZ? TELL ME WHAT`S A HAPPENING
Simon creeps behind Jesus and knocks at his right shoulder.
Jesus jerks, swings round, but of course Simon has already disappeared. Jesus rolls his eyes and groans. „Simon.", when he sees the spikey haired disciple stand before him grinning happily like a boy who could fool his teacher.
WHAT`S THE BUZZ? TELL ME WHAT`S A HAPPENING
At last Jesus seems to remember the words to sing.
WHY SHOULD YOU WANT TO KNOW?
DON`T YOU MIND ABOUT THE FUTURE?
DON`T YOU TRY TO THINK AHEAD?
Well, this obviously is just an empty phrase, for who would have expected his sheeps to „think"?
SAVE TOMORROW FOR TOMORROW
THINK ABOUT TODAY INSTEAD.
But since the disciples have been trying so hard to be louder as each other, they couldn`t hear what Jesus said, and so they start to repeat the refrain again.
WHAT`S THE BUZZ? TELL ME WHAT`S A HAPPENING?
Jesus` blue eyes get lost in the distance and he seems to adress himself more than his disciples who expect an answer of their leader.
I COULD GIVE YOU FACTS AND FIGURES
GIVE YOU PLANS AND FORECASTS
His glassy eyes wander over to the end of the stage where Judas and Olivia seem to have been absorbed in a mute exchange; dark eyes sinking into emerald trying to get a message through that can`t be expressed in words.
EVEN TELL YOUW HERE I`M GOING
A hardly visible expression of worry and sadness appears on Jesus` face, as he notices an unusual shy smile on Olivia´s face. A strand of her brown hair falls into her face and Judas raises one hand to stroke it out of her forhead.
WHEN DO WE RIDE TO JERUSALEM?
An impatient voice interrupts Jesus` thoughts and forces him to concentrate on stage again. Before him Simon stands, his blue eyes sparkling with enthusiasm and anticipation, ready to fight against whatever.
WHY SHOULD YOU WANT TO KNOW?
WHY ARE YOU OBSESSED WITH FIGHTING?
TIMES AND FATE YOU CAN`T DEFY
Jesus shouts uncontrolled at Simon who`s visibly hurt by the vehemence of his reaction. He steps backwards looking confused at Jesus.
Jesus approaches him again, his blue eyes pleading for forgiveness and understanding.
IF YOU KNEW THE PATH WE`RE RIDING
YOU`D UNDERSTAND IT LESS THAN I
His light eyes lock with Judas` dark, who immediately retreats giving Olivia a soft push into Jesus` direction.
