Whispers to Wise Guy .... Yeah I don't quite trust him myself. Let's get out of here while the goings good .....
Oh great king Herod, you are indeed wise to remain here at the seat of government during this potentially troublesome time. Your loyal and devoted subjects don't deserve the great kindness you do to them by blessing them with your presence.
We will do as you suggest, and find this infant to worship him. And then we shall send you word so that you to may worship him without wasting too much of your valuable time in the search. We will be off now, and start our search in Bethlehem.

Well, I'm rather fond of cocktails and nibbles. Angel 1 likes a tipple too. A little light conversation, agreeable company, dinner and dancing afterwards - makes for such a pleasant evening don't you agree?

Hmmm, kids haven't done too badly there. Their methods are clumsy and not too refined. Still, they're young, they have time to learn.

EXT. YERUSHALEM HILTON - NIGHT
A low-slung black limousine camel SCREECHES around the corner and pulls up to the front entrance portico in a cloud of dust.
A hefty TORPEDO in pin-striped robes, burnoose, and sunglasses jumps off, looks over the area intently.
PHIL THE WISE GUY jumps out of the saddle and runs up the front stairs, elbowing aside the DOOR EUNUCH.
PHIL: "Outta my way, fat boy!" EUNUCH: "Oooh! Oooh! You're one to talk!"
INT. CHIEF WISE MAN'S SUITE - NIGHT
A furious POUNDING is heard on the door. CWM struggles to his feet, falls back, scrabbles about a bit trying for traction on the slick tiles, and settles for crawling to the door.
He throws it open to reveal...NORMA DESMOND!
NORMA: "I'm ready for my close-up now, Mr. De--" CWM: "OI! YOU! Wrong door!"
With a shriek Norma yanks the door shut!
Suddenly, the French patio doors open and Phil the Wise Guy strides in.
PHIL: "OK you mugs, lissen up; I wuz meetin' wit' some of my...uh...family here in town, discussin' a, uh, "business venture," and word's out onna street dat Herod's gonna double-cross us. He's got his mini-onions casin' for us. We gotta take a powder on dis pop stand, toot sweet, and hook up wit da baby Jesus."
Phil opens his robe to show a glittering Thompson .45 caliber sword hanging from his sash.
PHIL: "An' if he wants ta play us a tune, I got da harmonica!"

Meanwhile, on a hillside near Bethlehem, some shepherds are gazing at the stars. One of them is obviously an Australian.....
"Crikey, youse bloody sheep- bloody hell, watch those teeth!"
She creeps up behind one, pounces on it, and wrestles it to the ground. Holding it firmly, she turns her head and beams in the direction of any stray camera that may be around.
"Crikey, stone the bloody crows, this animal is a mighty tough one, and dangerous- kids, don't you go roughing up any sheep you find out in the Australian outback. Leave it to me, roight?"
The other shepherds groan in unison. Years of working with the Spare Shepherd have taught them the folly of politely trying to get the Steve Irwin -wannabe to shut up. Does she not realise that sheep are a far cry from crocodiles, and ancient Israel a miliion light years away from Discovery and the National Geographic Channels and the Bush in far-off Oz? No. She doesn't. So they beat her up, in a firm but kindly fashion, with their shepherds' crooks.
"Kids, don't try that at home. Crook injuries may hurt."

Mary got text-ed by a heavenly host, Who said she’d conceive by God’s Holy Ghost
Though she was hesitant Joseph to tell With the aid of an angel it took it quite well.
To Bethl’em Mary on a donkey’s back rode Jo took a limo – he’s such a toad.
Wise men were told, “Just let the star lead”. (A GPS system’s more what they need).
Herod they questioned, “Where is the King? A star has foretold of this wondrous thing.”
But Herod’s a wicked, malevolent man. With the aid of a henchman he’s thought up a plan.
He told the wise men to seek the King out And when they have found him, to give him a shout.
Herod’s determined the baby to kill I fear that the story will turn out most ill.
The tension’s so hard I hardly can wait To see what develops, next, in scene eight.
