Sir Bedevere:
There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
Peasant 1:
Are there? Oh well, tell us.
Sir Bedevere:
Tell me. What do you do with witches?
Peasant 1:
Burn them.
Sir Bedevere:
And what do you burn, apart from witches?
Peasant 1:
More witches.
Peasant 2:
Wood.
Sir Bedevere:
Good. Now, why do witches burn?
Peasant 3:
...because they're made of... wood?
Sir Bedevere:
Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?
Peasant 1:
Build a bridge out of her.
Sir Bedevere:
But can you not also build bridges out of stone?
Peasant 1:
Oh yeah.
Sir Bedevere:
Does wood sink in water?
Peasant 1:
No, no, it floats!... It floats! Throw her into the pond!
Sir Bedevere:
No, no. What else floats in water?
Peasant 1:
Bread.
Peasant 2:
Apples.
Peasant 3:
Very small rocks.
Peasant 1:
Cider.
Peasant 2:
Gravy.
Peasant 3:
Cherries.
Peasant 1:
Mud.
Peasant 2:
Churches.
Peasant 3:
Lead! Lead!
King Arthur:
A Duck.
Sir Bedevere:
...Exactly. So, logically...
Peasant 1:
If she weighed the same as a duck... she's made of wood.
Sir Bedevere:
And therefore...
Peasant 2:
...A witch!
