Peasant 1 : A witch! We have found a witch! Can we burn her? Belvedere : How do you know that she is a witch? Peasant 2 : Because she looks like one! Witch : I am not a witch! I am not a witch! They dressed me up like this, and this is not my nose it is a false one! [Belvedere pulls off the false nose and opens his helmet] Peasant 1: Well, we did do the nose, and the hat. Peasant 2 : She has a wart. Belvedere : Why do you think that she is a witch? Peasant 2 : Well, she turned me into a newt. [Belvedere gives him a disbelieving look] Belvedere : A newt? [Silence] Peasant 2 : Well I got better. Peasant 3 : Burn her anyway. [Yells of "Burn her!"] Belvedere : There are ways of telling whether she is a witch. Tell me, what do you do with witches? Peasants : Burn them! Belvedere : Now, what do burn besides witches? Peasant 3 : More witches! [receives a punch from Peasant 1; silence] Peasant 2 : Wood? Belvedere : So, why do witches burn? [more silence] Peasant 2 : Because there made of wood? Belvedere : So, how do you tell if she is made of wood? Peasant 3 : Build a bridge out of her! Belvedere : Ah, but cant you also build bridges out of stone? Peasant 3 : Oh, right. Belvedere : Tell me, does wood sink? Peasant 1 : No, it floats. Belvedere : What also floats in water? [lots of yelling and many wrong and random answers including very small rocks] King Arthur : A duck! Belvedere : Exactly! Peasant 2 : So if she weighs as much as a duck she is made of wood. Belvedere : And therefore? Peasants : A witch! Belvedere : We shall use my largest scales. [Having been revealed to weigh the same as a duck, therefore proving her a witch, the crowd goes insane] Witch : It's a fair cop.
