Location Production Footage: The Last Temptation of Christ Page #5

---

Mourners will be blessed.

You'll have God to comfort you.

You won't need men to do it.

And the meek, they're the ones

who will be blessed.

And the suffering,

they'll be blessed too.

And the peacemakers

and the merciful...

and the sick and the poor

and the outcast.

You'll all be blessed,

because heaven is yours!

[ Man Laughing ]

And believe me--

[ Laughing Continues ]

Believe me,

those who are laughing now...

will be crying later.

Those whose stomachs are filled

will be hungry later.

And the rich

will be poor forever!

- Kill the rich!

- Kill them!

[ Shouting ]

No! I-I-I didn't--

I didn't say death!

[ Shouting Continues ]

I said love!

I said love!

- Enough. Come.

- No, Father, I'm staying.

We have to work.

I need you!

John!

- Come.

- I'm sorry, Father. I'm staying too.

Oh, no, no, no.

Not the two of you!

Let me come with you.

I can help.

[ Sighs ]

No. Stay here.

You'll know when.

Tell people about me.

[ Quiet Chattering ]

James.

Andrew.

Move over, John.

Move over, James.

What? I was just comfortable.

- Peter wants to lie down.

- There's no more room.

I'm cold.

I want to be by the fire.

[ James ]

Go over by Phillip.

We're all cold.

[ Peter ]

Ah, shut up.

Rabbi, can I talk to you?

[ Sighs ]

I'm not like these other men.

I mean, they're good enough.

They're good men.

But they're weak.

One's worse than the other.

Where'd you find them?

Look at me.

If I love somebody,

I would die for them.

If I hate somebody, I kill them.

I could even kill somebody I loved

if they did the wrong thing.

Did you hear me?

Do you understand what I said?

Yes, I understand.

The other day you said if a man

hits you, you turn the other cheek.

I didn't like that.

Only an angel could do that.

Or a dog.

I'm sorry, but I'm neither.

I'm a free man.

I don't turn my cheek to anyone.

We both want the same thing.

We do? You want

freedom for Israel?

No. I want freedom for the soul.

No. That's what I can't accept.

That's not the same thing.

It's not the same thing!

First you free the body, then free

the spirit. The Romans come first.

You don't build a house

from the roof down; you build it

from the foundation up.

The foundation is the soul.

The foundation is the body!

That's where you must begin.

No. If you don't

change the spirit first,

then you're only gonna replace

the Romans with somebody else,

and nothing ever changes.

Even if you're victorious,

you'll still be filled with the poison.

You've got to break

the chain of evil.

How do you change, then?

- With love.

- [ Footsteps ]

Who's there?

It's me, Andrew.

Is everything all right?

It's all right. Go back to sleep.
