Cut to a café. All the customers look like Dick Cheney. Mr. and Mrs. Merica enter - downwards (on wires).

MR. MERICA

MRS. MERICA
Have you got anything without fear in it?

DUBYA
Well there's fear, egg, sausage and fear. That's not got much fear in it.

MRS. MERICA
I don't want any fear.

MR. MERICA
Why can't she have egg, bacon, fear and sausage?

MRS. MERICA
That's got fear in it!

MR. MERICA
Not as much as fear, egg, sausage and fear.

MRS. MERICA
Look, could I have egg, bacon, fear and sausage without the fear.

DUBYA

MR. MERICA

DUBYA
You mean fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear?

CHENEYS
(still singing)
Fear, fear, fear, fear ... (etc.)

MR. MERICA

DUBYA

CHENEYS

DUBYA
Shut up! Shut up!

The Cheneys shut up momentarily. Enter the Hungarian.

HUNGARIAN
Great boobies honeybun, my lower intestine is full of fear, egg, fear, bacon, fear, tomato, fear ...

CHENEYS
(starting up again)
Fear, fear, fear, fear ...

DUBYA
Shut up.

A policeman rushes in and bundles the Hungarian out

HUNGARIAN
My nipples explode ...

Cut to a Historian

Superimposed caption: A HISTORIAN

HISTORIAN
Another great Cheney victory was at the Green Midget café at Bromley. Once again the Cheney strategy was the same. They sailed form these fiords here, (indicating a map with arrows on it) assembled at Trondheim and waited for the strong north-easterly winds to blow their oaken galleys to England whence they sailed on May 23rd. Once in Bromley they assembled in the Green Midget café and fear selecting a fear particular fear item from the fear menu would fear, fear, fear, fear, fear ...

The backdrop behind him rises to reveal the café again. The Cheneys start singing again and the

HISTORIAN conducts them.

CHENEYS
(singing)
Fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, lovely fear, wonderful fear. Lovely fear wonderful fear ...
