“JUDAS: You forgave Peter and bullshit Thomas—you knocked Paul of Tarsus off a horse—you raised Lazarus from the fuckin’ dead—but me? Me? Your “heart”? … What about me??!! What about me, Jesus?! Huh?! You just, you just—I made a mistake! And if that was wrong, then you should have told me! And if a broken heart wasn’t sufficient reason to hang, THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME THAT, TOO!
JESUS: Don’t you think … that if I knew that it would have changed your mind … that I would have?”
― Stephen Adly Guirgis, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot

“Although I have felt compelled to write things down since I was five years old, I doubt that my daughter ever will, for she is a singularly blessed and accepting child, delighted with life exactly as life presents itself to her, unafraid to go to sleep and unafraid to wake up. Keepers of private notebooks are a different breed altogether, lonely and resistant rearrangers of things, anxious malcontents, children afflicted apparently at birth with some presentiment of loss.”
― Joan Didion

“JUDAS: Why ... didn't you make me good enough ... so that you could've loved me?”
― Stephen Adly Guirgis, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot

“JESUS sighs, takes off his shirt, plunges it in the bucket, rinses it, and begins to wash JUDAS’s feet. JESUS washes meticulously and with care. He washes. And washes. Perhaps the water is mixed with tears.”
― Stephen Adly Guirgis, [(The Last Days of Judas Iscariot * * )] [Author: Stephen Adly Guirgis] [Jul-2006]
