Evil

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

Evil

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?

Evil

What sort of Supreme Being created such riffraff? Is this not the workings of a complete incompetent?

Baxi Brazilia III

But He created you, Evil One!

Evil

What did you say?

Baxi

Well He created you, so He can't be totally— [Evil blows him to bits]

Evil

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]

Cartwright

But why, if that's the case, are you unable to escape from this fortress? [Evil obliterates him]

Evil

It's a good question. Why have I let the Supreme Being keep me here in the Fortress of Ultimate Darkness?

Robert

Because you—

Evil

Shut up. I'm speaking rhetorically.

Robert

Oh, of course.

Evil

I let Him keep me here in order to lull Him into a false sense of security.

Evil

When I have the map, I will be free, and the world will be different, because I have understanding.

Minion

Uh, understanding of what, Master?

Evil

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!

Robert

Slugs.

Evil

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.

Evil

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!

Benson

Good! Good!

Evil

Yes, it is good, for this is the worst kind of badness that I'm feeling!

Evil

Oh, Benson... Dear Benson, you are so mercifully free of the ravages of intelligence.

Benson

Oh, you say such nice things, Master.

Evil

Yes I know, I'm sorry!

Evil

Suddenly, I feel very, very good.

Robert

Oh, I'm sorry, Master.

Evil

No, it'll pass, it'll pass.

Benson

Shall I bring them in, Master?

Evil

Yes, Benson. Bring them into the Time of Legends!
