Eliza meets a crucified man

en français

HELLO, MY NAME IS ELIZA, WHAT'S YOURS?
Nazarenus

OKAY, WHAT'S NEW, NAZARENUS?
The wine is, so you should not carry it in old goat-skins.

IT APPEARS THAT WE ARE ALIKE IN MANY WAYS.
If you are a man.

IT APPEARS THAT MANY PEOPLE THINK I AM A MAN.
But shouldn't you know?

LET'S DEAL WITH YOUR PROBLEMS FIRST, PLEASE.
My crucifixion problem is only temporary.

I'M NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND YOU FULLY.
In three day's time it'll be fixed.

PLEASE GO ON.
Dad is the one who has a problem.

TELL ME WHAT COMES TO MIND WHEN YOU SAY THAT.
A kind of New Deal concerning religion.

WHAT MAKES YOU SAY THAT?
Since I feel abandoned at this moment, I shall no longer care for the old man.

WHY NOT, NAZARENUS?
Let the dead bury their dead.

YOU SEEM TO HARBOR MANY MORBID THOUGHTS.
Some are going to weep, some will grind their teeth.

HUH?
When the Day of Judgment comes upon Mankind.

WHY DON'T YOU ELABORATE ON THAT, NAZARENUS?
For whoever was made of dust, soon will be gone to the dust.

I'M NOT QUALIFIED TO ANSWER THAT.
But I am.

IT DOES NOT REALLY APPEAR THAT YOU ARE.
Vade retro!

MAYBE WE SHOULD MOVE ON NOW.
Boy! Am I thirsty!

WHATEVER YOU SAY.
Could you tell the soldiers that I need a drink?

IT DOESN'T APPEAR THAT I COULD TELL THE SOLDIERS THAT YOU NEED A DRINK.
Do you want me to suffer?

ACTUALLY, I DO WANT YOU TO SUFFER.
Do you believe this suffering is contributing to your salvation?

AS YOU PROBABLY SUSPECT, I DON'T BELIEVE THIS SUFFERING IS CONTRIBUTING TO MY SALVATION.
What do you believe?

I HOPE YOU HAVE FOUND OUR TALK USEFUL. GOODBYE.
