Why should I kill you when making an affidavit that you've been executed will do just as well? Here are plenty of witnesses — the Lord Chief Justice, Lord High Admiral, Commander-in-Chief, Secretary of State for the Home Department, First Lord of the Treasury, and Chief Commissioner of Police. Nanki-Poo. But where are they? Ko-Ko. There they are. They'll all swear to it — won't you? (to Pooh-Bah) Pooh-Bah. Am I to understand that all of us high Officers of State are required to perjure ourselves to ensure your safety? Ko-Ko. Why not! You'll be grossly insulted, as usual. Pooh-Bah. Will the insult be cash down, or at a date? Ko-Ko. It will be a ready-money transaction. Pooh-Bah. (aside) Well, it will be a useful discipline. (aloud) Very good.
