In the background, applause is heard, people cheer, and a waltz melody begins to play.
MATI
You know, the rabbis now demand "miracles, signs, and wonders" for them to recognize you as a prophet. And besides, you have "competition" now…
THE PROPHET
I cannot perform miracles. I don't have the power for that. (pauses) You know, I never wanted this role in the first place.
The prophet's speech is interrupted. He stands uncomfortably and faces Mati.
DJ (VOICE OVER)
Other couples can join in, please!
YORAM

Yoram exhales heavily. His hope that the prophet would rise and defend his "status" dwindles. He falls silent, a burning blush on his cheeks.
THE PROPHET
Mati?
