She’s filled with spirits, Bacardi Breezers an’ that. She’s like, “Orright, Mary. I can feel me bay-bee in me tummy and I reckon I’m well blessed.”

pupil two: Think of all the extra benefits an’ that that they are gonna get. Mary goes, “Yeah, s’pose you’re right.”

pupil one: Mary an’ Joe ain’t got no money, so they have to ponce a donkey an’ go dahn Beflehem on that. They get to this pub an’ Mary wants to stop, yeah?

pupil three: Shut it! Anyways he’s like, “The police is comin an’ they’re killin’ all the bay-bees. You better nash off to Egypt.”

pupil one: Joe goes, “You must be monged if you think I’m goin’ down Egypt on a minging donkey.”

pupil two: Wouldn’t get me on no minging donkey. Went on one at Margate in the summer. It proper stunk.

pupil one: Will you give it a rest? Gabriel sez, “Suit yerself, pal. But it’s your lookout if you stay.” So they go down Egypt till they’ve stopped killin’ the firstborn an’ it’s safe an’ that. Then Joe and Mary and Jesus go back to Nazaref, an’ Jesus turns water into Stella.
