How do we get there ... em ... I would suggest the 44 from Jerusalem Road, every 7 minutes. Takes about 15 mins to get to the airport.

Not this time of day - rush hour
Get stuck at every traffic light if you're not careful.
And the 44 don't take double buggies

What? Hold or hand luggage. Properties! Have you a tape measure handy? I'm not sure if Donkey fits the standard measurements for Brianair.
It is a cheap airline, after all.

Somehow I think you'll come in very handy, Gold. I'll try to persuade the pilot to accept Frankincense and Myrrh as payment instead... I hear aromatherapy is getting quite popular these days.

Jeep pulls up alongside a large building. Henchman gets out and reads the sign over the door.
"Bethlehem Day Nursery. For ages five and under."
Awww, what the hell, it is Christmas, after all.
Rumages around in the boot, and pulls out her trusty bazooka. Retreats to safe distance.
Ready... aim... fire!
The Day Nursery disappears into a pile of rubble.
And on we go!
The Henchman returns to the jeep, humming happily
#O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
While soldiers march thy silent streets
And little boys all die
For in the dark streets shineth
The gleam of Herod's grin
He won’t be beaten by a baby;
He will stay the king.#

Mary, who had been looking in despair at the luggage, sees the devoted donkey hard at work. She smiles serenely and gratefully and stores up this thing in her heart. She fishes in her handbag and throws the donkey a carrot.
Oh Donkey, what would I do without you?
You're a sight more use than that other donkey, Joseph. Where is he when I need him?

I'm sure it's a lovely script. But next time, it would help if you let the cast see it.

Mary runs serenely back into the stable, places the babies down on the hay, and ferret's about to find her mobile. Eventually she finds where she put it down in the manger. She spots her copy of Pride and Prejudice under the manger too, and frantically stuffs it into her pocket. She picks up the baby Jesus and runs back out to the limo.. there isn't a moment to waste!

The gray is for normally soiled items, the red bin with the biohazard waste symbol is for the really gross stuff soiled with sheep plop, shepherd barf, and the like. Your pay will be docked for the cost of any items not returned by close of business Monday.

Glances out of the window and spots the smoke rising from the pile of rubble somewhere in the distance. Murmuring sadly to herself,
I told them fear. I told them there would be doom, and gloom, and untold suffering. I tried to warn them.
But no. Angel 4 would be all happy clappy. And as for that Gabriel. A few Thrones short of a Domination, if you ask me.
