Action:     Tempt him to fall. 
Grim:        Embarrass himself.
Action:      Begin the dark art of conflict. 
Grim:        Practically though
Smooth:    Right, get him to join a movement.
Grumpy:   People we can bend stretch and turn on a pin head.
Action:      Brutal.
Grim:        Precisely.
Grumpy:    How about the Gaderene freedom workers party.
Action:      Join the GFWP
Smooth:    Truly representing down pressed hard working pig farmers
Grumpy:   Up the proletariat, 
Smooth:    They haven't been thought of yet
Grumpy:   Ah , Liberté, égalité, fraternité
Smooth:    That also hasn't been thought of yet
Grumpy:   Right, so its bash the Romans
Action:      throw out the Syrians,

Grim:         The acceptable night has come.

Action:       Power means us in charge

Grim:         Freedom for the captives, just rolls off the tongue 
Smooth:      Quite meaningless phrase 
Grumpy:     until we encourage unlimited darkness.

Grumpy:    You certainly will be.
Smooth:     Nonsense, pull yourselves together,

Grim:         The light is strong in him now
Smooth:      Even its brilliance may be a weapon we could use.
Grumpy:     I’m still sick
Action:       You wimp
Smooth:      Report to furnace number 2 if it’s that bad.

Smooth:      What
Action:       Light
Grumpy:     I’m still sick
