Cain and Abel are in a forest nearby the ceremony.
Abel (shouts to Cain)- "Cain wait!... Brother! Brother! Please stop! Let me speak with you."
Cain - "Shouldn't you be enjoying your victory? Drinking wine and banging the sluts."
Abel - "Cain those are your sisters!"
Cain - "That doesn't change the fact that they are sluts."
Abel - "Cain...Why did you run away? Come back and join us. Ask for forgiveness, God will have mercy on you if you admit your sins."
Cain - "Yes I know, that is what I've always been taught. Tell God all the ways I am wretched and if I do that, I will be saved by his divine grace. He doesn't ever want to hear about the good I do, only wants to hear all my wicked deeds. Real hero we got there...You know, the relationship experts claim that all the best, long-lasting relationships follow those guidelines...That one person demands that the other person tell them all the ways that they are despicable and to completely ignore the good that that person performs. As a result, the despicable person will never feel worthy, always feel guilty, lack any sort of self-confidence and self-love to ever have the courage to leave the relationship. Hence why these relationships last so long. Wow, with advice like that, it is so challenging to figure out why all these relationship gurus are single."
Abel - "Cain, God knows all. He knows your good and he knows your bad, but he still loves you either way. God just wants you to admit your mistakes and acknowledge your faults, and by doing so, you display your honesty, wisdom and your need for him. If you understand the difference between right and wrong and can admit your wrongs, you can grow from them, learn to not do the wrong deed in a similar circumstance, you can have the strength and will to overcome. Cain just listen to me when I tell you that God cares about you and loves you immensely."
Cain - "He loves you more though!...And he loved your fat friend more than he loved my beautiful assortment of fruits and wheat. I made an elegant edible arrangement that one would gladly overpay for, while you made a disgusting blood fest. I forgot that our God is blood thirsty, my fault. Next time I will rob a blood bank and present that to him as a sacrifice... I'm sure he would practically blow a load he would be so excited by all that blood. I am honestly beginning to think that our God is in fact a vampire. Perhaps he hated my sacrifice because I left a clove of garlic in there. He was worried that it would kill him, or give him bad indigestion, either way it would make for an unpleasant scenario."
Abel - "It isn't the blood Cain. You know that you didn't give God your best. You gave him what you could do without, what you didn't mind losing. You didn't show faith. If you had faith, you would offer your best, all you had, knowing that God will provide and reward you for your sacrifice to him. Sacrifice is needed to achieve anything in this world. What you give equates to what you receive. Give your all and God will allow you to receive the universe's all. Trust me on this Cain."
Cain - "I swear you are reading too much Deepak Chopra and Alan Watts! Get out of here with all that law of attraction bullshit...Hashtag, BORING!!! At least give me some weed before you try to speak to me about this nonsense."
Abel - "Cain, there is a valid reason why I have knowledge of my horoscope, knowledge of my Kua number and why I maintain knowledge of my Feng Shui directions. These things aren't mumble jumble or mystic nonsense, they are science."
Cain - "Chemistry, physics, biology, these are examples of science. Feng Shui isn't a science... I wish I had a science textbook in my hand right now, a hardcover one, 500 page minimum, to slap you across the face with it. Trust me, it won't be the first time science hits you with a dose of reality."
Abel - "Stop with your violent threats Cain!"
Cain - "You think that was a violent threat? Clearly you are not into research, but I would suggest you do some research in finding out what actually constitutes as a (air quote gesture) violent threat. For someone who is so avidly protesting against violence you come across as a giant hypocrite, since indeed you did just murder a sheep less than an hour ago. So who in fact is the violent one? I may be making threats but at least I am not engaged in violence, therefore I would halt this moral train you got going on if I was you brother. Oops, I forgot, you prefer Mr. Virtuous." (rolls eyes in a sarcastic manner)
Abel - "Violent acts can be excused when they are in the name of God."
Cain - "Wow really? Quite a loophole you found in God's moral code. I probably should have read in between the lines to find loopholes as well, instead I am too busy following in the footsteps of our parents...You know, letting down God and all, disobeying him and his rules. But in fact, if I was just as clever as you and sought to discover the loopholes in his limiting code, I could still indeed be in favor with the Lord and yet, still act in any way that I deem fit. I must say brother, I am actually quite impressed with this level of craft...Once again I must ask, are you sure you aren't Satan's? You clearly have the gene for clever serpent behavior."
Abel - "You are speaking irrationally Cain. You are just upset about the ceremony and I understand, but there is always next year to win the sacrifice."
Cain - "You said that last year, and the year before, and oh yeah, the year before that one too. God has never looked at my sacrifice with favor! Everyone loves you! Why can't they love me!? No one loves me. No one understands me, not even God. If the creator can't even love or understand his creation who will?"
Abel (pleading) - "Don't say that Cain! I love you! We all love you. I'm here for you Cain, please let us talk. Just the two of us, over tea and dessert. Come over to my place tonight, please Cain."
Cain (deviously) - "I got a better plan."
Abel - "What is that?"
Cain - "Let us walk to the field, we can talk there in private."
Abel - "Sure! That will be splendid."
(The two walk to the field, as Abel continues to walk, Cain begins to slow his pace, he then bends down.)
Cain - "Keep walking brother, I just got a pebble in my sandal. I will catch up."
Abel - "Ouch! Yes remove the pebble before it causes further trouble."
(Cain waits for Abel to pass, he then picks up a large jagged stone off the ground, then he creeps up behind Abel.)
Cain(holds the stone above his head and proclaims) - "In the name of the Lord!" (Cain viciously strikes Abel over the head with the stone and proceeds to pound his brother's skull in.)
