Host: Welcome to Crooked Are the Meek, where soft spoken liars are exposed through modern techniques of interrogation. Strapped into our electric chair and ready to suffer for any inaccuracies in his statements is Clarence Caldwell, CEO of Caldwell Consultants. Mister Caldwell, is it true that you sponsored a paramilitary group to invade and take over an island republic on behalf of a banana importer? Caldwell: We just want what's best for the people of that region… (A sudden jolt of power makes him clench his teeth in pain.) Host: And judging by the look of discomfort on your face, that was the wrong answer. We won't fall for your propaganda here, sir. Now, is this corporate client of yours also a chief importer of narcotics? Caldwell: We believe that children should 'just say no' to drug users. (Another pulse of energy passes violently through him.) Host: There you go again. What does it take to get a straight answer from people like you? And are you currently advocating the use of a lethal toxin to accelerate the production of artificial houseplants? Caldwell: We do our best to operate within conventional parameters... aa-aagh! Host: God damn it, that's not an answer! (Losing his temper, he seizes Caldwell by the throat and shakes him fiercely.) Why can't you ever tell the truth? How are we supposed to feel good when it all depends on lies? Why can't you... |
