Ha!!! I wish I could be there.

Silver BulleTT 2001

A village. We see a group of villagers who are dragging a beautiful YOUNG WOMAN dressed as a witch through the streets. They drag her to a strange house standing on a hill outside the village. A strange-looking knight stands outside, Sir Bedevere.

First Villager: We have found a witch. May we burn her?
All: A witch! Burn her!
Bedevere: How do you know she is a witch?
All: She looks like one. Yes, she does.
Bedevere: Bring her forward.

They bring her forward - a beautiful Young Girl dressed up as a witch.

Witch: I am not a witch. I am not a witch.
Bedevere: But you are dressed as one.
Witch: They dressed me up like this.
All: We didn't, we didn't!
Witch: This is not my nose. It is a false one.

Bedevere takes her nose off.

Bedevere: Well?
First Villager: ... Well, we did do the nose.
Bedevere: The nose?
First Villager: And the hat. But she is a witch.
All: A witch, a witch, burn her!
Bedevere: Did you dress her up like this?
First Villager: ... Um ... Yes ... no ... a bit ... yes ... she has got a wart.
Bedevere: Why do you think she is a witch?
Second Villager: She turned ME into a newt!
Bedevere: A newt?
Second Villager: (after looking at himself for some time) I got better.
All: Burn her anyway.
Bedevere: Quite! Quiet! There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
All: There are? Tell us. What are they, wise Sir Bedevere?
Third Villager: Do they hurt?
Bedevere: Tell me ... what do you do with witches?
All: Burn them.
Bedevere: And what do you burn, apart from witches?
Fourth Villager: ... Wood?
Bedevere: So why do witches burn?
Second Villager: ... Because they're made of wood?
Bedevere: Good.

Peasants stir uneasily then come round to this conclusion.

All: I see. Yes, of course.
Bedevere: So how can we tell if she is made of wood?
First Villager: Make a bridge out of her.
Bedevere: Ah ... but can you not also make bridges out of stone?
All: Ah. Yes, of course ... um ... er ...
Bedevere: Does wood sink in water?
All: No, no, it floats. Throw her in the pond. Tie weights to her. To the pond.
Bedevere: Wait. Wait ... tell me, what also floats on water?
All: Bread? No, no, no. Apples ... gravy ... very small rocks ...
Bedevere: No, no, no.
Arthur: A duck!

They all turn and look at Arthur. Bedevere looks up very impressed.

Bedevere: Exactly. So ... logically ...
First Villager: (beginning to pickup the thread) If she ... weights the same as a duck ... she's made of wood.
Bedevere: And therefore?
All: (pause) ... A witch! ... A duck! A duck! Fetch a duck.
Fourth Villager: Here is a duck, Sir Bedevere.
Bedevere: We shall use my largest scales.

He leads them a few yards to a very strange contraption indeed, made of wood and rope and leather. The put the Young Woman in one pan and the duck in another. Each pan is supported by a wooden stave. Bedevere checks each pan then ... Arthur looks on with interest.

Bedevere: Remove the supports.

Two Peasants knock them away with sledge hammers. The Young Woman and the duck swing slightly but balance perfectly.

All: A witch! A witch!
Witch: It's a fair cop.
All: Burn her! Burn her! Let's make her into a ladder.
