[ Crowd shouting ]
>> We found a witch!
We found a witch!
A witch! We found a witch!
A witch!
>> We have found a witch.
May we burn her?
[ Crowd shouting ]
>> How do you know she is a witch?
>> She looks like one!
>> Send her forward.
>> I'm not a witch.
I'm not a witch.
>> But you are dressed as one.
>> They dressed me up like this.
And this isn't my nose.
It's a false one.
>> Well?
>> Well, we did do the nose.
>> The nose?
>> And the hat.
But she is a witch.
>> We burn her!
>> Did you dress her up like this?
>> No.
>> Yes.
>> Yeah, a bit.
A bit.
>> A bit. A bit.
>> She has got a wart.
>> What makes you think she is a witch?
>> Well, she turned me into a newt.
>> A newt?
>> I got better.
>> Burn her anyway!
>> Burn her!
>> Burn!
>> Burn her!
>> Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet.
There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
>> Are there?
Well, then tell us!
Tell us!
>> Do they hurt?
>> Tell me, what do you do with witches?
>> Burn them!
>> Burn!
>> And what do you burn apart from witches?
>> More witches!
>> Wood!
>> So why do witches burn?
>> Because they're made of wood.
>> Good!
>> Oh, yeah.
>> So how do we tell whether she is made of wood?
>> Build a bridge out of her.
>> Ah, but can you not also make bridges out of stone?
>> Oh, yeah.
>> Oh, yeah, true.
>> Does wood sink in water?
>> No, no.
>> No, it floats.
It floats!
>> Throw her into the pond!
>> What also floats in water?
>> Bread! Apples!
>> Very small rocks.
>> Cider! Grape gravy!
>> Cherries!
>> Mud!
>> Churches!
Churches!
>> Lead, lead!
>> A duck!
[ Crowd gasping ]
>> Exactly.
So, logically --
>> If she weighs the same as a duck, she's made of wood.
>> And therefore --
>> A witch!
[ Crowd shouting ]
>> Well done.
Very good.
We shall use my largest scales.
[ Crowd shouting ]
>> Come on, witch!
[ Crowd shouting ]
>> Right. Remove the supports!
>> A witch!
>> It's a fair cop.
>> Burn her!
