The Evil Death eaters

Man: Trouble in the common room.

Woman: Oh no - what kind of trouble?

Man: One Slthy s'gone drunkie on the bttrbeer.

Woman: Pardon?

Man: One Slthy s'gone drunkie on the bttrbeer.

Woman: I don't understand what you're saying.

Man: (slightly irritatedly and with exaggeratedly clear accent) One of the Slytherins have has gone drunk on the butterbeer.

Woman: Well what on earth does that mean?

Man: *I* don't know - Miss Toadstool just told me to come in here and say that there was trouble in the common room, that's all - I didn't expect a kind of evil death eater like interregation.

(JARRING CHORD - The door flies open and 3 evil death eaters burst in)

Death eater: NOBODY expects the Evil Death eaters! Our chief weapon is suprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Dark Lord.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again. (Exit and exeunt)

Man: I didn't expect a kind of evil death eater like interregation.

(JARRING CHORD - The death eaters burst in)

Death eater: NOBODY expects the Evil Death eaters! Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Dark Lord, and nice black robes - Oh damn! (To other death eater) I can't say it - you'll have to say it.

Other death eater: What?

Death eater: You'll have to say the bit about 'Our chief weapons are ...'

Other death eater: (rather horrified) I couldn't do that...

(Death eater bundles the cardinals outside again)

Man: I didn't expect a kind of evil death eater like interregation.

(JARRING CHORD - The death eaters enter)

Other death eater: Er.... Nobody...um....

Death eater: Expects...

Other death eater: Expects... Nobody expects the...um...the evil...um...

Death eater: Death eaters.

Other death eater: I know, I know! Nobody expects the Evil Death eaters. In fact, those who do expect -

Death eater: Our chief weapons are...

Other death eater: Our chief weapons are...um...er...

Death eater: Surprise...

Other death eater: Surprise and --

Death eater: Okay, stop. Stop. Stop there - stop there. Stop. Phew! Ah! ...our chief weapons are surprise...blah blah blah. Malfoy, read the charges.

Malfoy: You are hereby charged that you did on diverse dates commit heresy against the Dark Lord. 'My old man said follow the--'

Death eater: That's enough. (To woman) Now, how do you plead?

Woman: We're innocent.

Death eater: Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

(Superimposed caption: 'DIABOLICAL LAUGHTER')

Other death eater: We'll soon change your mind about that!

(Superimposed caption: 'DIABOLICAL ACTING')

Death eater: Fear, surprise, and a most ruthless-- (controls himself with a supreme effort) Ooooh! Now, Malfoy -- the sword!

(Malfoy produces a plastic camping dinner knife. Death eater looks at it and clenches his teeth in an effort not to lose control. He hums heavily to cover his anger)

Death eater: You....Right! Cut their arms off!

(Other two death eaters make a pathetic attempt to cut their arms off. Of course without succes.)

Death eater: Right! How do you plead?

Woman: Innocent.

Death eater: Ha! Right! You, stab them!

(Malfoy stands there awkwardly and shrugs his shoulders)

Other death eater: I....

Death eater: (gritting his teeth) I *know*, I know you can't. I didn't want to say anything. I just wanted to try and ignore your crass mistake.

Other death eater: I...

Death eater: It makes it all seem so stupid.

Other death eater: Shall I...?

Death eater: No, just pretend for God's sake. Ha! Ha! Ha!

(Other death eater pretends to stab. Then a giant foot comes down and squishes everybody. HAH!)
