Joseph of Arimathæa
It is not so easy as you think, Magdalene.... All the populace was there, ready to stone him....
Mary Magdalene
But the populace is on his side and the crowd adores him!... You have forgotten his triumphal entry!...
Joseph of Arimathæa
It is different now.... They were all shouting for his death outside Caiaphas’ palace....
Mary Magdalene
It was a few servants of the Pharisees and Sadducees....
Joseph of Arimathæa
A few servants would not have been enough to cover a public place to the very roofs.... It was indeed the same crowd as on the day of the triumph.... No, believe me, Magdalene, he knows what he wishes.... He is determined to be destroyed.... He has confessed everything....
