FLO:
A couple got into town today and the girl has to be about nine
months pregnant! The inn is so crowded, there wasn't a room
for them. Never seen anything like that in little Bethlehem.
(Walking away from the table with her order book, Lydia follows
Flo.)
Flo, you must feel so lucky to live in Bethlehem!
FLO:
Why do you say that?
LYDIA:
Because the scriptures say that the Messiah will come from
Bethlehem!

MS. HALA: Bethlehem? The Messiah? Tonight? In these dark streets? I
doubt it. You're a dreamer!
