Now Benson, I'm going to have to turn you into a dog for a while.

You are a very troublesome little fellow. I think I should teach you one of my special lessons? What do you think, Robert? Benson? What would look nice? Half-warthog? Half-donkey? Half-oyster? Half-carrot?
Scenes with Evil
5 scenesWhat sort of Supreme Being created such riffraff? Is this not the workings of a complete incompetent?
But He created you, Evil One!
What did you say?
Well He created you, so He can't be totally— [Evil blows him to bits]
Never talk to me like that again! No one created me! I am Evil. Evil existed long before good. I made myself. I cannot be unmade. I am all powerful! [Minions applaud]
But why, if that's the case, are you unable to escape from this fortress? [Evil obliterates him]
It's a good question. Why have I let the Supreme Being keep me here in the Fortress of Ultimate Darkness?
Because you—
Shut up. I'm speaking rhetorically.
Oh, of course.
I let Him keep me here in order to lull Him into a false sense of security.
When I have the map, I will be free, and the world will be different, because I have understanding.
Uh, understanding of what, Master?
Digital watches. And soon I shall have understanding of video cassette recorders and car telephones. And when I have understanding of them, I shall have understanding of computers. And when I have understanding of computers, I shall be the Supreme Being! God isn't interested in technology. He knows nothing of the potential of the microchip or the silicon revolution. Look how He spends His time! Forty-three species of parrots! Nipples for men!
Slugs.
Slugs! He created slugs. They can't hear! They can't speak! They can't operate machinery! I mean, are we not in the hands of a lunatic?... If I were creating a world, I wouldn't mess about with butterflies and daffodils. I would have started with lasers, eight o'clock, day one! [accidentally zaps a minion, who screams] Sorry.
Oh, Benson! I feel the power of evil coursing through my veins, filling every corner of my being with the desire to do wrong! I feel so bad, Benson!
Good! Good!
Yes, it is good, for this is the worst kind of badness that I'm feeling!
Oh, Benson... Dear Benson, you are so mercifully free of the ravages of intelligence.
Oh, you say such nice things, Master.
Yes I know, I'm sorry!
Suddenly, I feel very, very good.
Oh, I'm sorry, Master.
No, it'll pass, it'll pass.
Shall I bring them in, Master?
Yes, Benson. Bring them into the Time of Legends!
