Camel Driver
Your son?
[spotting the 12-year-old Jesus, while refreshing himself in a well in Nazareth]
Mary
Yes.
Camel Driver
And, does He like being a carpenter?
Mary
Yes, He does.
Camel Driver
There's a big world outside this garden. Do you want Him to see it?
Mary
He will see it soon enough.
Camel Driver
Let me take Him with me. I'll pay you well. I can use a lad like that to help me with my caravan.
Mary
No. Someday, He will leave me, but someone else will call Him.
Camel Driver
And who will that be?
Mary
My son will know Him when He comes.
Lucius
Have no fear. We're simply checking the census against the tax rolls. Now, you are...Joseph. And you live here with your wife Mary.
[arriving at Jesus' home in Nazareth on horseback with another Roman soldier; reading from a scroll]
Joseph
That is so.
Lucius
Who's this boy?
[pointing to Jesus]
Mary
My son, Jesus.
Lucius
I have no record of His birth. When was He born?
[looking at the scroll again]
Mary
Twelve years ago.
Lucius
Where?
Mary
In Bethlehem.
Lucius
Bethlehem? Count those in the next house. See that the boy is registered before the year is out.
[realizing Jesus must have survived the killing of the young boys in Bethlehem which he commanded on Herod's orders 12 years before, and after a long, tense pause; Mary slowly nods "yes"; to the other Roman soldier; the Roman soldier rides away; to Mary; rides away]
