Location Production Footage: The Last Temptation of Christ Page #4

This is not your business!

Do you want to get hurt?

Didn't you hear, idiot?

Move!

No. I don't want this.

Listen to him.

He doesn't want this. Well, we want it.

- Why?

- We don't have to tell you!

Bad enough we live

in a whorehouse.

But she's a Jew!

She works on the sabbath.

She goes with Romans.

She broke Moses' law. She dies!

Who has never sinned? Who?

Which one of you people

has never sinned?

Whoever that is...

come up here!

And throw these!

I have nothing to hide.

Good. Take this.

It's bigger.

[ Whimpers ]

Be careful, Zebedee.

There is a god.

He's seen you

cheat your workers.

He's seen you with that widow.

What's her name?

- [ Woman ] Judith.

- Judith.

Aren't you afraid God will paralyze you

if you lift that stone?

That your arm will wither?

That you'll lose all strength?

[ Sobbing ]

[ Whimpering ]

[ Jesus ]

God has so many miracles.

What if I say the wrong thing?

What if I say the right thing?

Come closer.

Come closer!

We're all a family.

Come closer so you can hear.

I have something to tell you.

Who is he?

It's Jesus from Nazareth.

Nothing good can come out of Nazareth.

The scriptures say so.

Uh...

I'm-- I'm sorry, but...

the easiest way

to make myself clear...

is to tell you a story.

A farmer was planting in his field.

Some seed fell on the ground,

and the birds ate it.

Some seed fell on rocks

and dried up.

But some seed--

Some seed fell on rich soil...

and grew into enough wheat

to feed a whole nation.

- Can you hear me?

- Oh, we can hear you fine.

I'm the farmer!

The farmer is me.

And two and two makes four.

Another lunatic!

Rabbi... tell me.

If you're the farmer...

and we're the stones,

what's the seed?

What's the seed?

Love.

Love one another.

That's easy to say. Maybe that's

good advice, but for some other world.

These people are starving.

First feed them, then talk.

I used to think God was angry too,

but not anymore!

He used to jump on me

like a wild bird...

and dig His claws into my head.

But then one morning,

He came to me.

He blew over me

like a cool breeze...

and said, "Stand up."

And here I am.

- And you will go to hell.

- These are children's stories.

- How can they help?

- What are you hungry for?

What are you thirsty for?

- Justice!

- And bread.

Bread? Bread too.

You're thirsty for justice,

for people to treat you fairly,

for people to treat you with respect.

Whoever's hungry for justice,

they're the ones

who'll be blessed.

They'll be filled with bread.

They'll never be hungry again.

They'll have the real value, the value

of love-- to love, share and comfort.

They'll have the courage

to do the good.

And you... you're mourning.
