Judas : I haven't thought at all about my own reward; I didn't really come here of my own accord. Just don't say I'm damned for all time!
Annas : Cut the protesting, forget the excuses. We want information, get up off the floor!
Caiaphas : We have the papers we need to arrest him. You know his movements, we know the law.
Annas : Your help in this matter will not go unrewarded.
Caiaphas : We'll pay you in silver, cash on the nail. We just need to know where the soldiers can find him...
Annas : With no crowd around him.
Caiaphas : Then we can't fail.
Judas : I don't need your blood money!
Caiaphas : Oh, that doesn't matter, our expenses our good.
Judas : I don't want your blood money!
Annas : But you might as well take it. We think that you should.
Caiaphas : Think of the things you could do with that money. Choose any charity - give to the poor. We've noted your motives, we've noted your feelings. This isn't blood money, it's a fee, nothing... fee, nothing... fee, nothing more.

Pontious Pilate : Who is this broken man cluttering up my hallway? Who is this unfortunate?
Annas : Someone Christ, King of the Jews.
Pontious Pilate : Oh, so this is Jesus Christ; I am really quite surprised, you look so small! Not a king at all! We all know that you're a news, but are you King? King of the Jews?
Jesus : That's what you say.

Pontious Pilate : And so this king is once again my guest. And why is this? Was Herod unimpressed?
Caiaphas : We turn to Rome to sentence Nazareth. We have no law to put a man to death. We need him crucified. It's all you have to do.
Caiaphas , Annas : We need him crucified. It's all you have to do.
