Stoning |
| Official: Matthias, son of Deuteronomy of Gath … |
| Matthias: (to Official’s Helper): Do I say «Yes»? |
| Official’s Helper: Yes |
| Matthias: Yes |
| Official: You have been found guilty by the elders of the town of uttering the |
| Name of our Lord and so as a blasphemer you are to be stoned to |
| Death |
| Matthias: Look, I’d had a lovely supper and all I said to my wife was, «That |
| Piece |
| Official: Blasphemy! |
| He’s said it again |
| Women: Yes, he did |
| Official: Did you hear him? |
| Women: Yes we did. |
| Really |
| Official: (suspiciously) Are there any women here today? |
| (The women all shake their heads. The Official faces Matthias again.) |
| Official: Very well, by virtue of the authority vested in me … |
| (One of the women throws a stone and it hits Matthias on the knee.) |
| Matthias: Ow. |
| Lay off. |
| We haven’t started yet |
| Official: (turning around) Come on, who threw that? |
| (Silence.) |
| Who threw that stone? |
| Come on |
| Women: (pointing to the culprit, keeping their voices as low in pitch as |
| They can) |
| She did |
| He. |
| Him |
| Culprit: (very deep voice) Sorry, I thought we’d started |
| Official: Go to the back |
| Culprit: Oh dear |
| (disappointedly goes to back) |
| Official: There’s always one, isn’t there? |
| Now, where were we? |
| … |
| Matthias: Look. |
| I don’t think it ought to be blasphemy, just saying |
| «Jehovah!» |
| (Sensation!!! The women gasp.) |
| Women: (high voices) He said it again |
| (low voices) He said it again |
| Official: (to Matthias) You’re only making it worse for yourself |
| Matthias: Making it worse? |
| How can it be worse? |
| Jehovah, Jehovah, Jehovah |
| (Great Sensation!!!) |
| Official: I’m warning you. |
| If you say «Jehovah» once more … |
| (He gasps at his error and claps his hand over his mouth. A stone |
| Hits him on the side of the head. |
| He reacts.) |
| Right! |
| Who threw that? |
| Women: (high voices) |
| It was her |
| It was *him* |
| (low voices) |
| It was him |
| Official: Was it you? |
| Culprit: Yes |
| Official: All right |
| Culprit: Well, you did say «Jehovah.» |
| (The women all shriek and throw stones at her from very close range. She falls |
| To the ground stunned. |
| Quick cut of Romans reacting. |
| They shake their heads |
| And mutter to each other.) |
| Official: Stop that. |
| Stop it, will you stop that. |
| Now look, no one is to |
| Stone anyone until I blow this whistle. |
| *Even*…and I want to |
| Make this absolutely clear…*even* if they *do* say «Jehovah.» |
