The Shepherds 
Jake:   Luke, are all the sheep safe?
Luke:  Dunno.
Eli:   Well go off and check ‘em Luke, make sure they’re all there… Off you go, that’s a good lad. Of course, you know what’ll happen. He’ll get to fifteen and fall asleep again. Same thing, every night, he never learns does he?

Jake:   Poor lad. Shepherding’s not a bad life – but I’m not sure he’s cut out for it… 
Luke:  Lads, lads, have you seen what’s going on up there? 
Eli:   Not them vultures again is it?
Jake:   If it is they got very big harps and they’ve learnt to sing. 
Eli:   Sing? 
Luke:  Aye. Come with me I’ve got a shock for you. Look! 
Eli:   My goodness! Them’s not vultures - them’s... 

Luke and Jake: Yes? 
 
Eli:   Angels! 
Jake:   Wow! You’re kidding! 
Luke:  What’s an angel? 
Eli:   A spiritual being believed to be a celestial attendant or messenger of the omnipotent deity. 
Jake:   Pardon? 
Eli:   One of God’s assistants.
