Sheep 1 suddenly realises she's eaten ALL the Pringles (well, once you pop you just can't stop as they say). Gives Rudolph a satisfied smirking look.
Baaaaaaa.

I was wondering whether the Fairy Godmother might like to have some quality time with her Godchildren.... but then I remembered, that Sweet Henchman... you know, that nice Mr Herod's helper... he volunteered to help out if I needed a hand with the children. What do you think? I think he left his mobile number - shall I give him a ring?

On second thoughts -
Maybe they would be safer with me. At least I could keep them entertained even if they aren't fed and changed.

Well, I felt he was a bit, how can I say, two-faced about it all? Nice on the outside, who knows on the inside, I think he said he was with Herod, and we all know what a piece of work he is!

Oh Brian, you were sleeping so sweetly, I hadn't the heart to wake you when Joseph turned up in the limo. Besides, he's not a man to be tangled with when he has his buzzsaw at the ready.
Here, have a coffee.
I was just going to book a flight to Egypt. Any ideas who does cheap flights from here to there? I would check on the internet, but it hasn't been invented yet.

Jeep pulls up outside a house. Henchman and Legions jump down. Henchman knocks on the door.
Open up in the name of the King!
A little old woman gingerly opens the door. The Henchman pushes past her.
Any children/grandchildren in the house?
The woman shakes her head in fear. Henchman turns to the legions.
Search the place! Tear it apart!

On second thoughts - I think it's really bad for a child's psychological development for them to be away from their parents for more than a few hours whne so young - I mean just look at how Herod behaves nowadays...
Tell you what - I'll come with you and the little darlings (monsters) and that way I can top up my tan whilst being paid to nanny them.

Jeep pulls up alongside another house. There are soft toys in the window. Henchman doesn't bother knocking this time. She barges in, her sword drawn.
The stage goes black, and there are several screams, two infant-voices, and one woman sobbing violently.
The lights come up to see the Henchman leaving the house, wiping her sword.
Onto the next one, boys.
I can see this scene being replayed in years to come - a visitor going from house to house, all in one night, leaving little 'gifts' for all the little children...
Muhaha.

Innkeeper!
How many children do you have staying in your hotel?
The innkeeper breaks into a cold sweat. "Um... there're none actually in the hotel as such.", he replies.
