  Yeshua : Father, where are you? Father, speak to me.

• The Demon : I've seen every shooting star since the first one. Every flash of lightning. I've heard the last gasp of each thing that ever lived. Nothing's interesting anymore.

  Yeshua : Nothing surprises you? Not a thing?

  The Demon : The repetitiveness. The obstinate, dull repetitiveness of your father's plan is bewildering to me. The same lives lived over and over and over and over again. Is there a plan? It all has to turn into something, it has to pour out into something, but into what? And that's my weakness, curiosity. But I'll stay as long as it takes, forever, to witness the end. The final sunset. If there is one.

• The Boy : What is Jerusalem like?

  Yeshua : Dirty and corrupt.
