Mary Magdalene
They ought to be here.... We must be many.... He is to pass through this street, under that window, on his way to Pilate....
Nicodemus
When?...
Mary Magdalene
To-night, before the second watch.... Which of you has arms? Where are they hidden?...
Nicodemus
What do you wish to do?...
Mary Magdalene
To deliver him, if Verus does not deliver him.... It is easy, you shall see.... They will let us do as we please, I know they will.... The Romans do not want to judge him.... Appius told me so, they are perplexed.... When they took him to Caiaphas, there were only two soldiers to guard him and two sergeants from the Temple, armed with sticks.... If only there had been five or six men with me!... We would have hidden him, I know where; and he would have been saved!... But I was all alone!...
