Salem Witch Trials
Bailiff: Well, Sister Elizabeth, I must say we owe you a pretty big apology.
Witch: What?
Bailiff: Didn’t you hear? Two young girls confessed. It was all a big hoax. We’ve made a terrible mistake.
Witch: Two girls? Really?
Bailiff: Anyway, you’re free to go. We’re so, so sorry.
Witch: Everyone makes mistakes…look, I was thinking that maybe I could stay a while.
Bailiff: Stay? But you’re free! You’ve been wrongfully accused!
Witch: Right…it’s just that I think, you know, maybe I’d be better off in jail.
Bailiff: I’m not sure I understand…
Witch: I’ve…done some things…and I know you said this was all just a big misunderstanding, but, it would probably be better for everyone if I stayed here…away from children…or people.
Bailiff: Sister Elizabeth?
Witch: Look, maybe it was all just a big hoax. Maybe those two girls were just looking for attention. But then again maybe witchcraft does exist. Maybe I walk with the devil in my dreams.
Bailiff: Oh, very funny. You’re trying to get a rise out of me. Come on, out of your cell. That’s it.
Witch: Please…you don’t understand…I lure children with candy and then I cannibalize them. I can’t stop. Think of your family. You...you have to kill me.
