"The Story of Jesus"

[Irish accent]: I got about nine of them here! Anybody need a cable?
MEL: In 33 AD,
Jesus and his apostles were the hottest group in Jerusalem.
But, with the Romans looking to arrest Jesus,
the group got together
to record what would be
his final sermon. Here we go!
These are "The Last Supper Sessions." Go, baby!
APOSTLE [Scouse accent]: Here we go, here we are.

We had a little problem with Rolling Stone.

Almost smushed us like a latke.
Well, now that we got the whole band here,

You know, it's a big concert film, so...
You know, one thought that I had was Rome.
You know, we could play Rome. Got a lot of friends in Rome.

Nobody likes Judas' idea? MARK: No, it's not that.
It's a tough crowd. I'd love to do the Apollo Temple.
MARK: Oh, Apollo. PETER: Apollo's very nice.
Oh, acoustics are good there. Sure.
You know, we could always go to the top of Masada, you know?
The kids up there are, uh,
they're a little too horny, maybe.
Kids from Long Island... MARK: Kids from Long Island.
Feeling each other up.
[chuckles] Hate to be cliché, but what would Jesus do?
What would He do? What would you do? [Luke chuckles]
JUDAS: Certain people want to know.
Lads, I would just focus on the music.

JESUS: Just write the psalms, you know?
Our message will bring people in.
Well, it's easy to say when you control all the publishing.
Some of us only make money off the live gigs.
That's so materialistic.
We should just play in our souls.
JESUS: We should... MARY: Don't you think?

when exactly did Mary join the band?

but I guess, it turns out we're the "Fab 13."
That's an unlucky number, isn't it?
I mean, she's one of us, isn't she, mate?

I just wanna know why am I the way I am?
Why do I like the things that I like?
I have a hard time eating dairy, and I always wondered why that is.
I love riding horses.
What is that about?
I'll tell you what it's about.
I'm Kublai Khan,
and I had sex with all these people's ancestors.
And you can find out if you are my progeny as well
by signing up for khancestry.com.
When I first heard of khancestry.com,
I thought $600 is a lot of money,
but I've learned so much about myself.
I knew my mom's second cousin was Flip Wilson's wife,
but this is way cooler.
I've always had this overwhelming urge
to conquer and unify Eurasia.
So, you might be asking yourself,
what's all this shit about?
Genghis Khan, AKA my grandpa Gengie,
started the biggest empire the world's ever seen.
And I took that shit to the next level
by creating trade routes to the west, establishing currency,
and balling my brains out.
[arrows popping] My empire even extended into Russia!
That makes sense though because, see, my ma is Russian.
My dad's Italian, though. Hey, yo.
Alright, so a few years ago, I started growing out my ponytail,
and my coworkers started making fun of me.
They asked me if I worked at Guitar Center,
and then I realized that I was related to Kublai Khan,
who also had a ponytail, so fuck you, Corey!
I cheated on my wife for years, but I never knew why.
It's literally in my DNA to spread my seed
as far and as wide as possible.
So, I told this to my wife, Gloria, and she said,
"Nah, that's bullshit."
You know, I'm related to Kublai, too,
but, uh, I didn't fuck the babysitter!
First of all, it's not like a teenage babysitter. This woman is 48.
And second of all, she's a nice lady. She's going through a rough time.
I'm just trying to help her get on her feet.
Yeah 'cause she's spending a lot of time on her back,
with you on top of her, like a big ol' fucking manatee.
After I got my khancestry.com results,
I took dairy out of my diet,
and the rash on my back cleared up within weeks.
Oh yeah, I can't do dairy. Also cashews.
So that means no almond milk?
No, no tree nuts of any kind!
Let me tell you something about little Miss Perfect over here.
She tells everyone that she was in the Rockettes.
She was not in the Rockettes!
You don't listen, Barry.
The Rockettes are a group of my girlfriends
who are fans of the Rocky movies. That's all.
I walk around the street, and I'm like,
"Are you the spawn of Khan? Are you the spawn of Khan?
I'm the spawn of Khan!"
[laughs] Everyone thinks I'm insane!
With the right leader, we could unify the tribes.
