MAN 1: Thank you for seeing us on such short notice, Pilate.

MAN 2: We represent the Hallmark corporation and we hear you have a man named Jesus in custody.



PILATE: Indeed, but I cannot let him go.

MAN 1: Goodness no! Kill him!

MAN 2: Yes, please do martyr him. We just have concerns with how you plan to.



PILATE: People like this Jesus. It's always Messiah this, and Hosanna that. We need to take him down a peg or two, so we thought we'd dress him in this giant rabbit costume.



MAN 1: That's the problem. You see, in the future Hallmark makes quite a bit of money from Easter Bunny items, and we don't need the rabbit image getting all entangled with Jesus.

PILATE: How many pink bunnies do you sell? What if I dyed it pink?



MAN 3: Excuse me sir, but we represent Turner Network Television. You may have heard of our 24 hours of A Christmas Story?

PILATE: Fine! I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition over this.



MAN 5: The comedy troupe Monty Python asks that you not infringe upon their most memorable bits.

PILATE: Fine, no bunny suit. How about a nice penguin suit?

MAN 6: Ni!
