Ben X Page #2

in Jesus's time.

Jesus was hanging there

on the cross

and they said, "Jesus,

why don't

you do something?

If your dad is

boss of the universe,

if you can raise

someone from the dead,

it's child's play for you.

Click clack and you're free."

Jesus, himself, wondered too.

What does

the New Testament say?

At the ninth hour,

Jesus cried with a loud voice,

"My God, my God,

why hast Thou forsaken me?"

At that moment Jesus

himself wonders that too.

He is so humiliated,

dispirited, disheartened,

that Jesus himself

doubts God.

He lets go.

In fact,

Jesus commits suicide.

Until he rises from the dead.

Until the resurrection.

And so God...

God damn it, Bogaert!

Leave Ben alone!

It's not the first time

I've had to tell you this!

You're going to

be in trouble!

Ben's just different

from you,

from the below-average

members of the class.

Fortunately for him,

if you ask me!

But you obviously find it

very difficult

to accept that someone

is different.

Or is there something

you want to share with us?

Maybe your thoughts

on the text

you no doubt studied

in detail last night?

- Yeah, okay.

- Right.

We're dying of curiosity.

Does anyone know

what Jesus said

when they took him down

from the cross?

"Hey! My feet first!"

That joke's grown

really long whiskers.

My God,

why hast Thou forsaken me?

I ask myself the same question

numerous times a day.

Whoa whoa whoa!

Hey! Calm down!

Take it easy.

Don't let them

push you around, Ben.

Keep your cool.

Kids like him

don't stand a chance.

They're easy prey.

They once stuck

a bandage over his mouth

and told him the headmaster

had said they had to.

He walked round all day

with the bandage over his mouth.

He always brought

a packed lunch with him,

but he never managed

to eat it.

But what are

you supposed to do?

What we always do...

too little. Nothing.

Here's our favorite boy.

Well, Benny-Boy?

Our Boy Jesus.

Leave him alone, guys.

F*** off,

Freddy f*ggot.

It can't be easy, being different,

eh, Benny-Boy?

Whoa!

Better than average, eh?

In fact, we should

look up to you.

You're the man!

Calm down.

Don't get worked up.

Don't get worked up.

Just stay calm.

Smile.

They said

to keep on smiling.

Then it'll stop.

They'll stop.

Movie time!

Action.

F*ggot!

Loser!

F*ggot!

Loser!

Look at me, son.

If you don't tell me,

how am I supposed

to know, Vertriest?

Well, well!

Look who's here.

My favorite clients.

- The 10th visit is free.

- Do you know why you're here?

- I don't know.

- You really have no idea?

Is it a quiz?

Do you think

it's funny, Desmet?

To be honest, I don't think

it's the least bit funny.

Apparently you have been...
