Quotes
Deborah
Where do we find a king in Bethlehem?
Cyrus
Well, if memory serves, a king is set apart from the Philippians with an oriental headdress.
Felix
Audible what?
Deborah
They wear hats!
[Someone wearing a hat walks by]
Felix
[shouts]
They're coming for you, your majesty! Run for your life!
[Felix's words come off as camel sounds bellowing out to the man who runs off to uncanny valley as a result]
Felix
Run like the wind!
Deborah
Will you cut that out? We'll never find him tied up here. We have to go out and search.
Felix
That's it! I'm biting through the reins!
Cyrus
Don't you dare! That is fine Corinthian leather! Do you have any idea how much that cost?
Felix
Are you kidding me?
Deborah
No. He's right.
