JOSEPH: Hmmm. I see they're doing another census.
MARY: Are they?
JOSEPH: Bloody Romans.
MARY:
JOSEPH: Unelected bureaucrats.
MARY:
JOSEPH: Oh no. Why have you got thinking face?
MARY: Schools, Joseph! This means we can get him into a good school!

JOSEPH: Mary, we've talked about this. He can go to the local comp
MARY: He's not going there
JOSEPH: Did me alright.
MARY: Says the man who voted for Jexit
JOSEPH: Look, they lied to us. They said it would lead to more money for the Temple
MARY: He's going to a good school, Joe

JOSEPH: We can't afford a good school, Mary.
MARY: We just need to be in the right catchment area.
JOSEPH: I'm not moving house again. You know how hard it is finding carpentry jobs in this economy.
MARY: We just need to be in the right catchment area ON THE CENSUS
JOSEPH: Oh. OH

MARY: Hang on I kept the last Judean Times school league tables
JOSEPH: Don't we have to rent for a few months?
MARY: Don't think so. I think just it's about where they have you down... Okay Bethlehem. Top state school in the region
JOSEPH: My mum has a house there
MARY: Exactly!

JOSEPH: We're not living with my mother while this kid grows up. It's not even mine. God can go live with my mother if he wants it to get into a good school.
MARY: We just need to put her address down on the census, and be in the town on census day
JOSEPH: Gah. Fine.

MARY: Can we get there in time?
JOSEPH: Yeah. Just about. Good job I bought that new donkey isn't it? The one you told me didn't need upgrading.
MARY: Do you REALLY want to start that conversation again?
JOSEPH:
MARY:
JOSEPH: Sorry Mary.
MARY: Quite. Now go prep the stupid donkey

JOSEPH: What'll we do about accommodation? Mum's on one of her cruises.
MARY: We'll just have to get a hotel. What?
JOSEPH: I'm just... we're probably not the only ones who thought about this. Might be busy
MARY: Then we better get going sharpish, hadn't we?
JOSEPH: Yes Mary /END
