Cashier:  No mercy.  But it does have a fair amount of accusation. 

Judge:  Sounds good. I'll have that!

Cashier:  Would you like lightening bolts to go with it?

Judge:  Sure!  What's a Condemning Jesus without lightening bolts?!

Cashier:  I hope you don't mind me asking, but do you have a lot of enemies?

Judge:  (Proud) Indeed I do!  World-cleaners always have enemies.

Cashier:  World-cleaners?

Judge:  Yes.  I'm trying to clean up the world, rid it of the dregs of society.  You know what I mean.  Prostitutes, drug addicts, liars, adulterers, and all the other riff raff that takes up space on this planet.  They're hopeless anyway, so why shouldn't I get rid of them?

Cashier:  Oh, I see.  Sort of like an early Judgment Day with you as the Judge. 

Judge:  Yes!  (Arrogant) And there's no one better suited to judge the world than I am. 

Cashier:  In that case you may want to change your order to the Terminator Jesus.

Judge: (Smiles) The Terminator Jesus? 

Cashier: It's our special today so it comes with lightening bolts and loud claps of thunder.

Judge:  In that case, make it two Terminators with extra lightening bolts! 

Cashier:  Will there be anything else?

Judge:  No!  Case closed.  (Pounds fist on the counter)

Cashier:  Here's your receipt.  Your number's at the bottom. (Hollers over shoulder)  Two specials and an extra basket of bolts! 

Cashier:  May I have your order?

Impatient:  I'll have the Heal Me Jesus.  And I want it with no waiting. 

Cashier:  No waiting costs 50 cents extra. 

Impatient:  (Incredulous) What?  That's not fair!  I heard I could come here for a Heal Me Jesus with no waiting.  I want it right now!  This very minute!  Pronto!

Cashier:  Hey, I don't make the rules, no waiting costs extra.  Maybe you should order the Mind-over-matter Jesus instead.  It's as good as the Heal Me Jesus-- and you'll save 50 cents!

Impatient:  I tried the Mind-over-matter Jesus last week.  It gave me a headache! 

Cashier:  Like I said, no waiting is 50 cents extra.  You want it or not?
