Can't keep out of that bar can you? We're supposed to be worshipping the Holy Child (and Evil Twin) not the Demon Drink

Hmmm... yes, I will treasure them in my heart... but I was rather hoping for some new clothes for the babies. Can't any of you knit? A nice pair of purple booties for Lavinia would have been nice, I mean to say, you've got the wool!

Takes nailgun from Mary's handbag. She seems to have quite a few of his tools in here.
Right, Mr Mozzy, let's see what you're made of.

Hm, sorry about that, Mary. Didn't mean to nail your dress to the wall.
But look! I got the mosquito too.

Spoken by Sheep 3 to Sheep 2 in previous scene:
I think the first thing we need to do is nibble off all these cerulean ribbons and jingle bells that are plaited into my fleece.
I can hardly be stealthy going *jingle jingle* all the time.
and
quote:
ditto:
It was very nice of bee_of_good_cheer to put them in, and they do look pretty, but yes, the *jingle jingle* has become annoying.
Why don't we put them in this box, and perhaps Even Lowlier Shepherd (he's very nice, not like the others) can give them as a gift to the baby. I notice that the Baby Jesus liked the one I put in the manger.
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Joseph, dearest... GET THOSE NAILS OUT OF MY BEST DRESS! Honestly, do you think Simon is made of money? He'll dock the cost of this dress from your wages, you know.. and we need every penny you can earn to keep Jesus and Lavinia in the manner to which I would like to become accustomed. I mean, there'll be piano lessons, horse riding, ballet for Lavinia, karate for Jesus, school uniforms, Christmas and birthday presents (all on the same day, poor kids), school trips....

Mary dear, I think you're getting ideas above your station. Jesus will be helping me in the workshop as soon as he's slightly bigger than my smallest mallet, and Lavinia will stay at home to clean the floor, help prepare the food and engage in other activities suited only to women.
And I don't want to have to discuss this again.
Honestly, "karate" and "ballet"! How ridiculous.
