Did you tell him we slept together? Did you tell him we had sex? I'm not mad.
Just tell me.
Did you? Yeah.
- Nissa, look.

Bad news.
The search continues for the man who police say brutally murdered a group of innocent sex tourists here in the Middle East.
The manhunt grows as the Holy Man turned pervert-hating killing machine - was reportedly last spotted in Australia.

Room service.
[DOORS CREAK.]
Good morning, Jesus.
Your breakfast is here.
Oh! Oh, Jesus.
FEATHERSTONE: Due to my negligence, Tulip O'Hare and Cassidy have escaped Masada, as has our political prisoner.
[SCOFFS.]
I've also failed in my duty to track down and locate the Holy Child.
For these reasons [SMOOCHES.]
I'm ready to die.
I'm ready, too.
[TELEPHONE RINGING.]
Mm? Gone? Where? Did you check the leper lab or the pediatric-cancer wing? He loves those sorts of Hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Proceed.
Hmm.
Mm.
You have no authority.
Don't you dare.

- [GUN CLICKS.]
- I'll take my chances.
Idiot.
- [TELEPHONE BEEPS.]
- Problem, sir? They can't find Jesus.
Sir, please, I think I've earned the right to be executed by you and you alone.
- [TELEPHONE RINGING.]
- [SCOFFS.]
Uh, how can I get anything done when the phone won't stop? You've earned the right to drop dead and get rolled into a tarp, Flufferman.
That's what you've earned.
[TELEPHONE BEEPS.]
What?! How dare he? [WIND WHISTLING.]
Where the hell is Hitler? [BOTH GRUNTING.]
[GRUNTS.]

What an - Aah! Ugh! Do you know what's at stake, what I've been promised? The apocalypse is going to happen, and no teeny, tiny tin-pot is going to get in my way! [GRUNTS.]
While I'm here, the Messiah.
Now that you've laid eyes on him, how did he seem to you? [SIGHS.]
Fantastisch, mein Allfather.
Congratulations.
F-Finally, a Messiah we can believe in.
Hmm.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
'Cause he knows if he doesn't, I'll hurt you.

[MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY.]
[TRUCK ENGINE REVS, MEN SPEAK INDISTINCTLY.]
[THUD.]
Coming in now.
[ECHOING.]
Quiet.
Listen up.
SAINT OF KILLERS: Let's go.
[FOOTSTEPS DEPART, SPURS CLICKING.]
CASSIDY: Hunted down like a dog over an orgy murder.
I mean, this is why we need to stick together, isn't it? Mm.
[SIGHS.]
You know, it's all my fault.
It's not Jesse.
He turned up like a good friend should.
And I been thinkin' He said, "Look, I know we've had our differences, you and I, but that doesn't matter right now on account of you getting repeatedly foreskinned by a meat-handed Italian man.
Christ, he was there to stop it.
He'd come to help.
And do you know what I said to that? Do you know what my stupid, selfish response was? - "I'd rather be circumcised.
" - That's right.
Which means I got a lot of work to do to make it up to him now.
So maybe goin' down to Australia to rescue him from whatever godforsaken mess he's got himself into seems like a pretty good start, doesn't it, you know? All right, so go on.
Let's hit the road.
- One more drink - [SWALLOWS, SETS GLASS DOWN.]
- Go and get our boy.
- No, thank you.
What'd you mean by that? It means I ain't goin'.
[SCOFFS.]
You don't really mean that.
[BEEPING CONTINUES.]
Gotta fix the car.
Dust in the carburetor.
Then we're takin' off.
Tak takin' off w-with Jesus Christ? Mm-hmm.
He wants to see Las Vegas.
I think he's [CLICKS TONGUE.]
I don't know what to think.
All right, but you can't just leave.
Shouldn't we stick together? Come with.
Out on the road with a lonely, handsome Jesus? Could be fun.
Think about it.
[VIDEO GAME BEEPING.]
I don't want to.

Crate 350 with a cowl-induction hood and 4-11 gears.
Flowmaster and TA tires.
And all mine.
Yeah.
You sure about this? Takin' off? Of course.
Don't you got stuff to do, like walkin' on water, turnin' it into wine? I don't know.
Oh, most of that's [SIGHS.]
pretty much just metaphor.
Oh.
'Cause there's no changin' your mind once we hit the road.
We're committed.
Well, there is this conference I'm supposed to be helping out with, but No.
I was born a man without obligations.
Walking the Earth, being with people, I think that's all the stuff I need to do.
I like that.
'Cause we're gonna walk some serious Earth.
[TOOL CLANKING.]
[CHUCKLES.]
The unredeemed one, will he be joining us? Cass? He's thinkin' 'bout it.

Sex, sex, sex.
Those juicy flanks.
Legs wrapped tight.
Feelin' of me inside her.
Yeah, I think you know what I'm talkin' about, you dirty bird.
[LAUGHS.]
What the hell's got you so worked up? Hot date.
I haven't seen her in years.
When she lands, on.
Effendi.
What about you and your gal? Hot number.
No, no, she's not my gal.
But of course she is.
Don't blame you, either.
[SETS GLASS DOWN.]
Big baby eyes.
Sweet caramel skin.
Oh.
Naughty little uppercut.
She's my best mate's girl.
It's not gonna happen.
No.
No, it's not.
Not with that attitude.
Listen to me, friend.
Every now and then, you have to roll the dice.
Love isn't easy, forbidden love, especially.
[SIGHS.]
Breaks and beats ya.
Rips you to shreds.
But then, right when you think your heart can't take another second, it gives you life.
Dazzling and new.
A love worth fighting for.
A love so That's enough, now.
That's enough.
Shut your mouth, you oozy little gobshite.
For the love of God, I am tryin' to do the right thing, okay? God, for once.
[LIQUID POURS.]
[BOTTLE CLANKS.]
- [SETS GLASS DOWN.]
- You're right.
Who am I to give advice about love? Look what it got me.
Cast out of heaven, exiled, imprisoned.
And all because of some smokin' hot piece [FOOTSTEP.]
What? She's here.
Hmm? [CLEARS THROAT.]
["LOVE OF MY LIFE" PLAYS.]

[WAILING CONTINUES.]
I didn't know I could.
That is no excuse.
Leavin' you there, that that was a sin.
You're a good kid, Eugene.
You're a good Christian.
I don't really know what that means anymore, but you are.
You put your faith in your preacher, and your preacher let you down.
Christ.
Your own preacher sent you to Hell.
Eugene, I don't know if you could ever forgive me.
I just want you to know that I feel so bad 'bout what I did.
Eugene I'm sorry.
[SEATBELT CLICKS.]
Seen Tulip do this 1,000 times.
Is it blue or red? - [CAR ALARM BLARING.]

That one little sin changed everything.
Yeah.
Two sins, actually.
She was married.
Oh, right.
[INHALES DEEPLY.]
I'm not complaining.
[CHUCKLES.]
You know? [SIGHS.]
A new Messiah was chosen.
My son.
A better one by all accounts.
Humperdoo? I heard he was, like Incredible.
My father's favorite.
A true unblemished innocent.
In the end, God knew best - [COUGHS.]

Cassidy, let's go! [GLASSES CLINKING, PLEASURABLE MOANING.]
[POUNDING.]
I think they're going to break my bedroom.
I should help Jesse.
It's the right thing to do.
[LIQUID POURS.]
I mean, Tulip's never gonna love me.
Not like that, anyway.
[POUNDING, MOANING CONTINUE.]
- I should go and help him, right? - [GLASS SHATTERS.]
- It's up to you.
- That's right.
That's free will.
Free will says I can change.
Free will says I don't have to be the selfish arsehole that no one believes in.
I get to decide whether I wanna be the hero here or not.
Just like Han Solo, you know? Luke's my friend and he's in trouble, and I don't give a shit about a chestful of Rebel gold.
I'm gonna turn around, and I'm gonna help blow up that Death Star.
You know what I'm talking about.
Do you know "Star Wars"? - Moving pictures - Uh-huh.
are an affront to Allah, Effendi.
Right.
Han would help.

[LAUGHS.]
Ah! Champagne? I'll be back, my beloved.
Well? - Hi.

"Dazzling and new" is right.
I thought you were gonna mess with the space-time continuum back there.
I'm happy for the both of ya.
You're still here.
I thought you were on some sort of rescue mission.
Yeah, well, I decided to take your advice, you know? [SETS GLASS DOWN.]
