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?
