Yamba:
[looking at a Bible] Joseph Cinque:
You don't have to pretend to be interested in that. Nobody's watching but me. Yamba:
I'm not pretending. I'm beginning to understand it. [outside, a priest blesses himself] Yamba:
Their people have suffered more than ours. Their lives were full of suffering. [turns to a picture of the newborn Jesus Christ] Yamba:
Then he was born, and everything changed. Joseph Cinque:
Who is he? Yamba:
I don't know, but everywhere he goes he is followed by the sun. [turns to a picture of Jesus healing a man] Yamba:
Here he is healing people with his hands... [shows Jesus defending Mary Magdalene] Yamba:
protecting them... [shows Jesus and the children] Yamba:
being given children... Joseph Cinque:
[sees Jesus walking on water]
What's this? Yamba:
He could also walk across the sea. But then something happened. He was captured, accused of some sort of crime. [shows Jesus with Pontius Pilate] Yamba:
Here he is with his hands tied. Joseph Cinque:
He must have done something. Yamba:
Why? What did we do? Whatever it was, it was serious enough to kill him for it. Do you want to see how they killed him? [shows the crucifixion of Jesus] Joseph Cinque:
This is just a story, Yamba. Yamba:
But look, that's not the end of it. [shows the disciples taking Jesus' body down] Yamba:
His people took his body down from this... thing... this... [signs the cross in the air] Yamba:
They took him into a cave. They wrapped him in a cloth, like we do. [shows the Resurrection of Jesus] Yamba:
They thought he was dead, but he appeared before His people again and spoke to them. Then, finally, he rose into the sky. [shows the Ascension of Jesus] Yamba:
[the priest prays in the background] Yamba:
This is where the soul goes when you die. [shows a picture of Heaven in the clouds] Yamba:
This is where we're going when they kill us. It doesn't look so bad
