Augustus:  Herod , what about a little bet ? I 'll take the fat one for twenty gold pieces .
Herod: Caesar , it would be against my religion to bet on the life of a man .
Augustus: Oh , really ? I would have thought it against your religion to bet on anything .
Herod: Caesar , it 's true : Jews love gambling . But we fear our god more .
Augustus: Which one ?
Herod: We have only _ one _ , Caesar .
Augustus: I 've never understood that , it 's quite insufficient . Why do n't you take some of our gods ? You know , plenty of people do .
Herod: Believe me , Caesar , the one we have is hard enough to live with .
