A witch! We have found a witch! Can we burn her?
How do you know that she is a witch?
Because she looks like one!
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.
She has a wart.
Why do you think that she is a witch?
Well, she turned me into a newt.
A newt?
Well I got better.
Burn her anyway.
There are ways of telling whether she is a witch. Tell me, what do you do with witches?
Burn them!
Now, what do burn besides witches?
More witches! [receives a punch from Peasant 1; silence]
Wood?
So, why do witches burn? [more silence]
Because there made of wood?
So, how do you tell if she is made of wood?
Build a bridge out of her!
Ah, but cant you also build bridges out of stone?
Oh, right.
Tell me, does wood sink?
No, it floats.
What also floats in water?
Exactly!
So if she weighs as much as a duck she is made of wood.
And therefore?
A witch!
We shall use my largest scales.
It's a fair cop.
