King of Kings - A Mother's Commitment to Her Son
Jesus: [while hiding his last quest from his mother]
The chair will have to wait until I return.
Mary: [vaguely; Jesus is surprised what she had said. He realizes that she already knew. She puts away the sewing supplies; leaves with her son]
The chair will never be mended. I am going with you.

King of Kings - A Moment of Shared Solitude and Sin
Mary:
I am alone now, share my table.
Mary Magdalene:
I am a woman of sin.
Mary:
You will share my table.
Mary Magdalene:
I have done much evil.
Mary:
Child, God knows evil exists as well as good. Just as there is light and darkness. Evil exists that we may be the better for it.
Mary Magdalene:
Will you speak to your son for me?
Mary: [humbled by the request]
Intercede...

King of Kings - A Conversation About Jesus' Interests
Camel Driver: [spotting the 12-year-old Jesus, while refreshing himself in a well in Nazareth]
Your son?
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: [arriving at Jesus' home in Nazareth on horseback with another Roman soldier; reading from a scroll]
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.
Joseph:
That is so.
Lucius: [pointing to Jesus]
Who's this boy?
Mary:
My son, Jesus.
Lucius: [looking at the scroll again]
I have no record of His birth. When was He born?
Mary:
Twelve years ago.
Lucius:
Where?
Mary:
In Bethlehem.
Lucius: [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]
Bethlehem? Count those in the next house. See that the boy is registered before the year is out.
