"Great! Just great! Could they bring us a little gold? No. Some frankincense? No. Not even a small vial of myrrh. Instead, what do these "wise" men give him as a birthday gift? A drum set! A friggin' drum set!! The neighbors are gonna just love this. Wouldn't be surprised if they even try and kill him for it."

Cow: Moooooo!
Joseph: Shhhh!
Donkey: Hee-haw!
Mary: Shhhh!
Melchior: {coughs}
Caspar and Balthasar: Shhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Too bad Mr. Bean didn't find a few drummers to add to the scene! :)
