- Quotes
Jesus: Now, how can you take a speck of sawdust out of your brother's eye when all the time there's this great plank in your own?
Judas: I don't know. How can you take a speck of sawdust out of your brother's eye when all the time there's this great plank in your own?
Jesus: You hypocrite!
Judas: [confused cry of alarm] Wha-ha?
Jesus: First you take the plank out of your own eye so you can see clearly to take the speck of sawdust out of your brother's!
Judas: Wait a minute! That's no answer to the question!
Jesus: Did I promise you an answer to the question?
Judas: Ah... No.
- Crazy creditsThe end credits include an infinity frames effect. A sixteen second film of a busy street is shown, and then the right and bottom of the frame is frozen in a sideways capital L. This then becomes the frame for the next iteration of the film, which in turn leaves its right and bottom edges as a frame for the next film. Over the frames and film are played thumbnails of the actors, then credit cards and finally a credit scroll.
