Just add some randomly quoted Bible verses, and this one’s all set.

If I sufficate from laughing so hard, it’s your fault.

(Can you believe my brother and father have never heard of the Swedish Chef? They’re wondering what the heck I’m going on about).

Too wordy. You may recall that the squareheads in Northfield, MN, took down the James and Younger Gang with no preparation. The defense of the town and its bank probably went like:

Ole to Swen, the gun dealer and hardware salesman: Gun.

Swen, handing him a gun: Ayuh.

Hello, I think it’s time I introduced myself properly. You knew me as Doctor Lance North who arrived in this town five years ago looking for his lost wife who was disappeared after a boating accident gave her amnesia. Then after my arrest for the murder of Mayor Smith you thought I was actually Torch MacPike, an escaped convict who had been falsely imprisoned for murdering his best friend after he slept with his wife. But after it was revealed that Mayor Smith was not only alive but was actually my father and had set me up because he blamed me for the sister’s death, everyone discovered I was really Cash Hartley, an FBI agent who had been assigned to work undercover to break up the diamond smuggling operation at the hospital. Well now, with Doctor Green’s death, I can at last reveal the truth - Mayor Smith is not my real father. I was adopted by him after the war. My real name is Inigo Montoya and you killed my real father. So now prepare to die because my plan all along has been to kill you. Except that now … I’ve fallen in love with you.
