Alan: (enters through left front door of church) So this is it then? Wow this is huge.
Rob: Yep, this could really change our lives.
Alan: Your life could really do with that.
Rob: (ignors comment) I’ve been so looking forward to this for ages I hope this works (walks over to buttons).
Alan: Your not the only one! Are all these people coming too (meaning congregation).
Rob: Why not?

(Alan presses some buttons - a strange noice is heard, Alan and Rob both look at each other).

Rob: Well that’s it we have arrived.
Alan: Where.
Rob: That’s the difficult bit.
Alan: You mean it’s a bit like Dr. Who.
Rob: Who?
Alan: Oh, well your sence of humour can only get better, come on (exit left).

Rob: Its so hot.
Alan: How on earth are we going to cross this wide river?

Alan: No Rob the year 33 (to stepping stone) Thank you we had better get moving, good bye.
SS1: Good bye.

(Alan & Rob enter right).

Rob: This dust is getting right up my nose (Rob stops takes shoe off and empties sand out everwhere) look Alan please explain whats going on people everywhere are going to this Jerusalem place and they keep looking really stangely at me.
Alan: Well you are strange.
Rob: Just answer the question.
Alan: Later, look we need to blend in a bit more.
Rob: What like in the army, we could use that bush over there as camaflarge, its just starting to bud (slowly realises) …that means it must be springtime hang on its nearly Easter egg time.
Alan: Everyone is getting ready for a huge festival.
Rob: Easter! Are they going to make loads of Chocolate.
Alan: No Rob No.1 Chocolate has not been invented yet.
Rob: These poor people.
Alan: And No.2 Jesus is alive as we speak now.
Rob: I know you keep telling me that.
Alan: No I mean really, really alive.
Rob: Yes you’ve told me 1000’s of times.
Alan: it’s the year 30 He hasn’t died on the cross.
Rob: Alan I don’t go to church, but I do know that Jesus did die on the cross. What church have you been going to?
Alan: But he hasn’t died yet.
Rob: Yes he has and, and he came back to life forever.
Alan: I knew you wouldn’t get it.
Rob: You keep telling me he rose from the dead and now your saying he didn’t even die.
Alan: (Rather annoyed) He did die on the cross but it hasn’t happened.
Rob: You mean its going to happen for the 1st time soon, no wonder everyones going and excited, it’s the climax of history.
Alan: Rob, these people don’t know whats going to happen and there not all excited.
Rob: Are they stupid its Easter, predicted years before, its got a happy ending.
Alan: Jesus told his disciples several times, their not stupid they just didn’t understand people didn’t belive what they had been told.
Rob: They didn’t understand, well lets tell them.
Alan: Look if they didn’t understand Jesus, what chance have they got of understanding you! Anyway you look strange.
Rob: If this is not Easter what is everyone doing.
Alan: Your find out - but we need a goat.
Rob: (surprised) A goat! Hay were really going to blend in with a wild animal.
Alan: Actually a pair.
Rob: Make your mind up, hold on I’ve got a pear (pulls out a pear from an inside pocket).
Alan: (looking around for some) I mean a pair of goats!
Rob: Why?
Alan: For a sacrafice what else.
Rob: (sarcastically) Of course its so obvious (pulls out a tube of smarties from Jacket) I’ve got some smarties, we could sacrafice them.
Alan: Why have you got smarties you told me you were going to fast Chocolate.
Rob: Its only for an emergency use.
Alan: I’ll look after them for you, hay look at that crowd over there (pointing left).
Rob: I can’t see a crowd theres too many people in the way.
Alan: (looks at Rob beweldered) These people are expecting something but not what is actually going to happen, come on, I want to see Jesus we must get to Jerusalem before the passover.
Rob: Pass what over - I’ve given you my smarties what more do you want.
Alan: Never mind, we’ve got about 20 miles to walk and we’re need some palm leaves.
Rob: 20 miles isn’t there a bus we can catch.
Alan: What do you think?
Rob: We could ride a Donkey.
Alan: and which invisable Donkey would that be then?
(They exit left).

Alan: (pops up from behind rock) I’m over here, keep the noice down will you.
Rob: Where is over here.
Alan: Just keep walking in the direction your going.
Rob: ouch!!
Alan: Shhhhhh.
Rob: I’ve just walked into this rock.
Alan: Can you not do anything quietly.
(Alan is busy looking for something, Rob eventually finds the rock Alan is hiding behind and then falls over Alan).
Ohww what are you doing?
Rob: I’m just falling over again.

Alan: Quit falling over will you…hay look its just over there (pointing ahead).
Rob: Its dark how am I meant to see anything overthere.
Alan: (takes carrot out of jacket) Eat this carrot, quietly
(Rob eats half a carrot noicily)
Oh, we’ve missed it.
Rob: (speaking with mouth full of carrot) What have we missed.
Alan: (wiping carrot off of his face) He’s risen, he’s not dead anymore, the tomb is empty.
Rob: but how could he get out, there were two gaurds yesterday and that massive boulder in front of the entrance.
Alan: Angels.
Rob: oh yeah forgot about them, but why did they guard the tomb they knew he was dead they killed him. Thoughourly killed him, painfully.
Alan: They thought that the body would be stollen so it looked as though the savour had risen.
Rob: So the authorities & thoses guards actually helped prove that it was no mystery.
Alan: I supose so, hay here comes Mary can you see.
Rob: Yeah just about, but she’s well upset, why?
Alan: They still did not understand the scripture.
Rob: (shouts out) Oy he’s not there he’s alive.
Alan: Shhhh (Puts hand over Robs mouth) We’re not meant to be here, anyway she’ll found out.
Rob: She’s off again - hay we are having more than a carrot for breafast aren’t we?
Alan: That wasn’t breakfast.
Rob: That’s alright then.
Alan: It was to help you to see.
Rob: Alan actually this whole trip has made me see a lot, its going to change me.
Alan: Wow that’s not the answer I was expecting (looking back at the tomb) Peter and the others will be here soon.
Rob: Hay look at the beautiful view (looking slightly to the right).
Alan: The Sun is rising - and the light of the world has risen.
