[0193|001] (With exaggerated enthusiasm) [0194] I find this really
most extraordinarily interesting.

[0195] One out of four. [0196] Of the other three two don't
mention any thieves at all and the third says that
both of them abused him.

[0197] Who?

[0198] What?

[0199] What's all this about? [0200] (pause) [0201] Abused who?

[0202] The Saviour.

[0203] Why?

[0204] Because he wouldn't save them.

[0205] From hell?

[0206] Imbecile! [0207] From death.

[0207|001] I thought you said from hell.

[0207|002] From death, from death.

[0208] Well what about it?

[0209] Then the two of them must have been damned.

[0210] And why wouldn't they?

[0211] But the other apostle says that one was saved.

[0212] Well? [0213] They don't agree and that's all there is to it.

[0214] But all four were there. [0215] And only one speaks of
a thief being saved. [0216] Why believe him rather than
the others?

[0217] Who believes him?

[0218] Everybody. [0219] It's the only version they know.

[0220] People are bloody apes.
