Veronica Backham - Interview with Jesus Christ (Script)

VB: "Hello, Mr. Christ. Actually, I am not quite sure how to address you..."

JC: "I am the Lord..."

VB (giggling): "No, no, I can't do that. I only call my husband by that name."

JC (irritated): "I am Jesus, whom you are inquiring."

VB: "Okay. Well, Jesus, the reason I am interviewing you today is that you are the author of this vastly successful book titled The Holy Bible."

JC: "Many of God's children have contributed..."

VB: "Oh, you had ghost writers, too? You see, I just published my memoirs, which is pretty exciting, considering that I never have read a book in my life. Yes, I understand. I had some help, too. (Laughter) Can you tell me why your book is so appealing to such a vast readership?"

JC: "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but those who drink the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

VB (swooning): "Ooh! And it helps building your reputation. Right?"

JC: "If I honor myself, my honor is nothing. It is my father who honors me."

VB (slightly confused): "Oh, really?"

JC: "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my father's name, they bear witness of me."

VB: "Well, I take your word for it. But, after all, you made a lot of money through the book sales?"

JC: "What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul?”

VB: "Oh, I don't know about you, but I need the daily visit to my coiffeur in London. (Fiddling with JC's hair) I can give you his phone number, if you want. (Sighing) So, are you saying it was wrong that I made profits from my book sales?"

JC: "No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead he puts it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light."

VB (smiling): "You got that right! Now, what's up for you in the near future? Any photo ops? Or movies? Another book?"

JC: "I will work to help build and to grow our vision for evangelism--to help every congregation who wants the help reach and baptize at least ten percent more people than they're currently baptizing. That's a doable goal.”

VB: "Good for you! I hope next time I will have more questions about your book. I just saw the movie, you know, the Mel Brooks version - very funny! But I didn't have the time to see all the sequels, and there are so many of them."

JC: "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle..."

VB: "Oh, tell me about it! (Pause) Okay... I thank you for this ... uhm ... interesting interview. I am sure our readers will enjoy it, and I hope to see you again soon."

JC: “Yes, I am with you always, until the very end of time.”

VB: "No, that's not necessary. Don't make me get another restraining order! (Pause) You can leave now."
