holy music] BABY BRIAN COHEN: [crying] WISE MAN #1: Ahem. MANDY COHEN: Ohhh! [whump] Who are you? WISE MAN #1: We are three wise men. MANDY: What?! WISE MAN #1: We are three wise men. MANDY: Well, what are you doing creeping around a cow shed at two o'clock in the morning? That doesn't sound very wise to me. WISE MAN #3: We are astrologers. WISE MAN #1: We have come from the East. MANDY: Is this some kind of joke? WISE MAN #2: We wish to praise the infant. WISE MAN #1: We must pay homage to him. MANDY: Homage? You're all drunk. It's disgusting. Out! The lot, out! WISE MAN #1: No-- MANDY: Bursting in here with tales about oriental fortune tellers. Come on. Out! WISE MAN #2: No, no. We must see him. MANDY: Go and praise someone else's brat! Go on! WISE MAN #2: We-- WISE MAN #1: We were led by a star. MANDY: Or led by a bottle, more like. Go on. Out! WISE MAN #1: Well-- well, we must see him. We have brought presents. MANDY: Out! WISE MAN #2: Gold. Frankincense. Myrrh. MANDY: Well, why didn't you say? He's over there. --- Sorry the place is a bit of a mess. Well, what is myrrh, anyway? WISE MAN #3: It is a valuable balm. MANDY: A balm? What are you giving him a balm for? It might bite him. WISE MAN #3: What? MANDY: That's a dangerous animal. Quick! Throw it in the trough. WISE MAN #1: No, it isn't. MANDY: Yes, it is. It's great, big mmm... WISE MAN #3: No, no, no. It is an ointment. MANDY: Aww, there is an animal called a balm,... or did I dream it? So, you're astrologers, are you? Well, what is he then? WISE MAN #2: Hmm? MANDY: What star sign is he? WISE MAN #2: Uh, Capricorn. MANDY: Uhh, Capricorn, eh? What are they like? WISE MAN #2: Ooh, but... he is the son of God, our Messiah. WISE MAN #1: King of the Jews. MANDY: And that's Capricorn, is it? WISE MAN #2: Uh, no, no, no. That's just him. MANDY: Ohh, I was going to say, 'Otherwise, there'd be a lot of them.' [sniff] WISE MAN #1: By what name are you calling him? MANDY: Uh, 'Brian'. WISE MEN: We worship you, O Brian, who are Lord over us all. Praise unto you, Brian, and to the Lord, our Father. Amen. MANDY: Do you do a lot of this, then? WISE MAN #2: What? MANDY: This praising. WISE MAN #2: No, no. No, no. MANDY: Er, well, um, if you're dropping by again, do pop in. Heh. And thanks a lot for the gold and frankincense, er, but don't worry too much about the myrrh next time. All right? Heh. Thank you. Good-bye. Well, weren't they nice? Hmm. Out of their bloody minds, but still.
