TOAD:
A table for two!
BUNCHBACK: A beer. PORTER:
Eh, I don’t know what you’re talking about.
(PORTER goes back to sleep. Persistent knocking.) PORTER:
Knock, knock, knock. Persistent little bugger aren’t you.
(PORTER answers the door. BUNCHBACK and TOAD take a seat at the nearest table. TOAD takes down notes as BUNCHBACK speaks.) BUNCHBACK: First, we kill all the lawyers. TOAD:
Yes!
BUNCHBACK: Then, we go out onto the moor in a rainstorm. TOAD:
Yes!
BUNCHBACK: Then we get down to our gym shorts. TOAD:
…Yes.
BUNCHBACK: And summon the witches. TOAD:
Yes…
BUNCHBACK: And then… we do a little dance! TOAD:
Oh! Yes!
BUNCHBACK: And murder the king! TOAD:
Yes…
