Mary: No. Too dangerous for them at the moment. It's easier for us to do this, we're no threat.
Salome: You say that, but what if they've posted soldiers at the tomb? Goodness knows what they might do if they find us trying to open it up.
Mary: Salome, stop worrying! You've got those oils?
Salome: Yes.

Mary: The stone!...
