Peasant #1: We have found a terrorist, may we torture him?
Angry Mob: TORTURE HIM TOOORTURE HIM!!
Sir Gonzales: How do you know he is a terrorist?
Peasant #1: He looks like one!
Sir Gonzales: Bring him forward.
“Terrorist”: I’m not a terrorist, I’m not a terrorist!
Sir Gonzales: But you are dressed as one.
“Terrorist”: They dressed me up like this.
Peasant #2: No! Nooo! We didn’t! We didn’t!
“Terrorist”: And this isn’t my beard, it’s a false one.
Sir Gonzales: [lifts off giant fake beard] Well?
Peasant #2: Well, we did do the beard.
Sir Gonzales: The beard?
Peasant #1: And the turban. But he is a terrorist!
[mob roars in agreement]
Sir Gonzales: Did you dress him up like this?
Peasant #2: NO! No!… Yes, a bit, a bit. But he has got brown skin!
Sir Gonzales: What makes you think that he is a terrorist?
Peasant #3: What, he blew up the white house!!
Sir Gonzales: The Whitehouse?
[pause]
Peasant #3: We rebuilt it.
Angry Mob: TORTURE HIM ANYWAY!!!! TORTURE HIM!!!!
Sir Gonzales: Quiet, quiet! There are ways of telling whether he is a terrorist.
Peasant #2: There are? Are there? Tell us, tell us! Do they hurt?
Sir Gonzales: Tell me, what do you do with terrorists?
Peasant #3: Torture them!
[mob roars in agreement]
Sir Gonzales: And why do you torture terrorists?
Peasant #2: To Get Even! [Gets slapped]
Peasant #1: To get a confession?
Sir Gonzales: So, why do why do terrorists confess under torture?
[pause]
Peasant #3: ‘Cause they’re full of… sin?
Sir Gonzales: Good! So how do we tell whether he is full of sin?
Peasant #1: Sodomize him!
Sir Gonzales: Ahh, but can’t someone be free pf sin before you sodomize them?
Peasant #1: Oh yeah.
Sir Gonzales: Tell me, what else is full of sin?
Peasant #1: condoms.
Peasant #2: Hollywood.
Peasant #3: bananas.
Peasant #1: Ted Kennedy.
Peasant #2: The media.
Peasant #3: corn.
Peasant #1: women.
Peasant #2: New York.
Peasant #3: Carrots!
King Bush: [has been silent in the background] An Atheist.
[pause]
Sir Gonzales: Exactly! So, logically…
Peasant #1: …If he weighs the same as a atheist, he’s full of sin.
Sir Gonzales: And therefore?
Peasant #1: A TERRORIST!
[mob roars in agreement]
