Judas stares sinisterly at Olivia`s back, but even though his look is
burning as if he wanted to melt stones, she doesn`t take further notice.
She sits down on the stairs again, reaches for Jesus` hand and pulls him
down to her.
TRY NOT TO GET WORRIED
TRY NOT TO TURN ON TO PROBLEMS THAT UPSET YOU OH
Judas snorts scornfully. „Oh yes, don`t bother with little human problems. Just hide your head in the sand and don`t move anymore. Maybe the problems will dissolve in holy air. But maybe you`re not married at all."
Jesus swings round and glares at Judas`, who gazes darkly back at him. „What do you want to say?" Jesus asks sharply.
„Can`t you imagine?" Judas kneels down and smirks maliciously. „It`s the best that could happen to you, isn`t it? When you don`t end this story the way it is supposed to be, Olivia will be stuck herer forever. You finally get your Mary back. Hallelujah!" He leans closer to Jesus. „But what about her?" He looks at Olivia, his eyes glwoing even darken than usual. Olivia tenses, literally turning to stone, but doesn`t move and stares straight into the air avoiding to meet anyone`s glance. When she shows no reaction, Judas sighs deeply, shrugs and walks across the stage over to Jacobus, Peter and Simon, who`re standing in the background like living properties. Simon steps in his way, obstructing the view and stares with folded arms at Juas.
„How can you say that?" Jacobus suddenly speaks.
Judas raises an eyebrow and replies without taking his look from Simon. „Say what?"
„How xcan you say that Jesus would let her die?"
Judas smiles merrilessly. „Because it`s true."
„No it`s not." Jacobus sais firmly and blushes to the roots of his lightbrown hair, when he realizes that he contradicts someone maybe for the first time in all his life. He inhales a deep breath, gathers all his courage and continues with a voice, that doesn`t tremble much more than a boat in a hurrricane. „He`s the messiah, he`s good and pure." A sarcastic smile appears on Judas` face, but he stays silent. „How could he do anthing wrong to her?" Jacobus asks. „He loves her."
Judas slowly turns his head and looks at Jacobus sadness shining in his dark eyes. „Yes." He sais quietly while breathing out. „But is his love strong enough to do what`s best for her?" his eyes suddenly hold a consuming blaze.
„Yeah!" Simon suddenly laughs out. „You mean, like you did what was best for Jesus when you betrayed him? When you made him a martyr and us with him? When you got us all redeemeed and stuck here in this hole of holiness? Oh thank you so much!" He bows so excessively before Judas, that his spikey hair almost cleans the floor.
A sharp hiss escapes Judas` mouth, but he`s getting back control and smirks sarcastically. „Oh Simon, you really learned the use of irony? I`m impressed."
A tensed silence grows; Flaring blue eyes pierce ironical brown, but everyone can see that this fight won`t fought without deeds for very much longer, so Peter approaches them, puts a hand on Judas` shoulder and pulls him away from Simon to avert the nuclearblast.
At the same time Jesus turns to Olivia agian. „You don´t believe him, do you?" his blue eyes look anxiously at her. „I would never, you know, that I wouldn`t." he stammers, but Olivia simply lays a finger on his mouth to silence him. „It`s alright."
DON`T YOU KNOW EVERYTHING`S ALRIGHT;
YES EVERYTHING`S FINE
AND WE WANT YOU TO SLEEP WELL TONIGHT
CLOSE YOUR EYES
LET THE WORLD TURN WITHOUT YOU TONIGHT.
Wrapping her arms around him she sings to him, but her eyes wander far off into the distance.
IF WE TRY WE`LL GET BY;
SO FORGET ALL ABOUT US TONIGHT.
She turns to Jesus again and forces a smile onto her lips.
SLEEP AND I SHALL SOOTHE YOU
CALM AND ANOINT YOU
MYRRHE FOR YOUR HOT FOREHEAD; OH
She raises her head and locks eyes with Judas, whjo still looks angry, a disapproving frown on his forehead. Her voice grows softer, while she keeps on smiling at him.
THEN YOU`LL FEEL EVERYTHING`S ALRIGHT;
YES EVERYTHING`S FINE.
Judas turns away, so he doesn`t see the bottle of ointment Olivia is suddenly holding in her hands.
AND IT`S COOL AND THE OINTMENT SWEET
FOR THE FIRE IN YOUR HEAD AND FEET
CLOSE YOUR EYES CLOSE YOUR EYES
AND RELAX THINK OF NOTHING TONIGHT.
Jesus puts his head on her lap and she begins to massage him. When Judas turns to them again and sees this all too familiar scene, he narrows his brows and hurries up the stairs. With hardly hidden anger he grabs the bottle and holds it high into the air.
WOMAN; YOUR FINE OINTMENT; BRAND NEW AND EXPENSIVE COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED FOR THE POOR
Jesus closes his eyes, apparently quite stressed. And when he opens his eyes again, he looks at Judas, as if he was some annoying insect that came back everytime he chased it away.
WHY HAS IT BEEN WASTED?
WE COULD HAVE RAISED MAYBE THREE HUNDRED SILVERPIECES OR MORE.
Jesus leans forward, struggles the urge to fight back and loses. „Do you really think it would have mattered? Do you really think we could have satisfied all hungry mouths on earth?" he snaps at Judas. But he doesn`t retreat and replies his glanze firmly. „At least we could have tried."
Jesus leans back, his lips a thin line. „Don`t be silly, Judas! We could never have stilled the thirst, the hunger of everyone, not even if we sold anything we had."
„He should know best." Simon strolls nearer, obviously relaxed and calm, but a malign glimmer in his eyes shows clearly how much he enjoys this situation. „After all he sold you, and what did he get? 30 silverpieces. Well we could have raised more if we sold the ointment, don`t you think, Judas?" He turns to Judas and smirks provokingly, but Judas ignores him and kneels down beside Jesus.
PEOPLE WHO ARE HUNGRY
PEOPLE WHO ARE STARVING
MATTER MORE THAN
YOUR FEET AND HAIR.
Suddenly Olivia jumps up and drags the bottle vehemently out of Judas` hands. Her eyes send green flashes into his direction, and he steps backwards looking confused at her. When she stops before him, her facial expressions suddenly soften and a smile steals onto her lips.
TRY NOT TO GET WORRIED
TRY NOT TO TURN ON TO PROBLEMS
THAT UPSET YOU OH
DON`T YOU KNOW EVERYTHING`S ALRIGHT
YES EVERYTHING`S FINE
She lifts her hand and caresses his cheek tenderly, when suddenly a yell pierces throught the silence.
„Don`t you dare to touch my man!" Luzi jumps up her eyes spraying black fire into Olivia`s direction. God touches her hand and tries to pull her down, but Luzi keeps on standing in front of the stage, ready to jump on Olivia and scrape out her eyes the moment she makes the wrong move. Even though Olivia turns to Jesus again, Luzi keeps on watching her suspiciously.
„Ah come on, don`t make such a fuss!" Herodes sais with nasal voice. „It`s all in the play. Nothing unusual as far as I see, they all behave exactly like their roles demand."
He yawns. „Can we please go on?" Luzi shrugs. „Okay," she growls, and sits down but keeps her eyes fixed on Olivia.
Olivia wraps her arms around Jesus neck, while her eyes wander off to the dark haired man across the stage who keeps his head turned away smiling appeasingly at Luzi.
AND WE WANT YOU TO SLEEP WELL TONIGHT
LET THE WOLRD TURN WITHOUT YOU TONIGHT
Slowly Judas turns his face to her and their eyes lock over the heads of the other disciples.
IF WE TRY WE`LL GET BY;
SO FORGET ALL ABOUT US TONIGHT.
Jesus follows Judas` gaze just to see that it`s directed on the woman who`s supposed to have eyes only for him, the messiah, her saviour. He frowns and narrows his eyes. Judas suddenly feels hit by some blue flashes that are directed on him, breaks the eyecontact with Olivia and truns away.
Jesus relaxes visibly, but when he realizes that Olivia`s obviously still spellbound by the sight of Judas` back, he gets up with such a vehement move that Olivia struggles to keep her balance.
SURELY YOU`RE NOT SAYING WE HAVE THE RESOURCES
TO SAVE THE POOR FROM THEIR LOT
THERE WILL BE POOR ALWAYS PATHETICALLY STRUGGLING
He follows Judas, who faces the messiah unwillingly. „Jesus, I thought we had left this discussion behind." He sais with a tired tone in his voice and turns his back on him again.
LOOK AT THE GOOD THINGS YOU`VE GOT
Jesus screams nearly hysterically and points back to Luzi who`s watching the scene very attentively.
THINK WHILE YOU STILL HAVE HER
MOVE WHILE YOU STILL SEE HER
YOU`LL BE LOST AND YOU`LL BE SO SORRY
WHEN SHE`S GONE.
Judas turns round and a smirk appears on his face, but it dies as soon as he sees Jesus fall to the ground in slowmotion and all circle him.
Judas rolls his eyes. „What a sad pathetic man!" he whispers under his breath, trying to catch Olivia`s look, but she leans over Jesus and helps him up.
SLEEP AND I SHALL SOOTHE YOU
CALM YOU AND ANOINT YOU
MYRRHE FOR YOUR HOT FOREHEAD OH
THEN YOU`LL FEEL EVERYTHING`S ALRIGHT
YES EVERYTHING`S FINE
AND IT`S COOL AND THE OINTMENT SWEET
FOR THE FIRE IN YOU HEAD AND FEET
CLOSE YOUR EYES; CLOSE YOUR EYES AND RELAX;
THINK OF NOTHING TONIGHT
She leads Jesus down the stairs and when they pass Judas he grips her arm.
„He always faints if he doesn`t get what he wants." He tries to explain, feeling that he has just become the favourite target of icy spears that are thrown at him out of two clear blue eyes.
A frown appears on Olivia`s forehead. „He needs our support, Judas. He is weak at the moment."
Judas smirks. „Oh I never doubted that. But" he leans closer to Olivia. „What do you think how many men does it need to help one man up?"
Olivia stiffens, but doesn`t go into the question.
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND RELAX THINK OF NOTHING TONIGHT
„What do you think why he fainted just now?"
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND RELAX THINK OF NOTHING TONIGHT
„Could it be he fears to lose your attention?"
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND RELAX THINK OF NOTHING TONIGHT
„Could it be he wants to keep you from asking some unpleasant questions?"
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND RELAX THINK OF NOTHING TONIGHT
With a sigh Judas gives it up and turns around, but Olivia touches his shoulder lightly and smiles up to him.
