Transcript

The makers of X-Lax present strange as it seems. Tonight, X-Lax, the original chocolatid laxative, brings you another of its fascinating series of strange facts. Strange happenings, strange people. But first, we want to suggest that you try X-Lax the next time you need a laxative.

You'll find it delightful, milder, gentler, yet thoroughly effective. You'll like its delicious chocolate teats. It's so much more pleasant to take than some nasty tasting medicine. You'll understand why more people take X-Laks than any other laxative in the entire world.

The author who ate his book are now in the year 1644, and the following scene takes place in the great council hall of his Majesty King Christian IV of Denmark. I'm coming!

I'll talk to him, cat, he's well, but he's in a bad mood this morning. There's trouble in store for someone. You're mad at me. You're mad at me. You're mad at me. Where is that prisoner?

The prisoner is here, your mad at me. Head forward. Are you Theodore Ranging? Yes, your mad at me. Here is a book which I've been looking over. Are you the over? I am found. Are you aware that what you've written here amounts to treason?

I've had no deflause to my king or my country. I've written what I believe to be true. It's a lie. It's intended to appeal to the emotions of my people to stir up discontent. Whether you're mad at me and above all when we're in the midst of a vicious invasion by the army of Sweden.

You're mad at me. Hear me. You. You've reached democracy. The rule of the people. They're ignorant and fit to govern themselves. What the people can govern you? You would put some... some adventurer on my throne.
