[dr. pangloss]
let us review
lesson eleven!

[students]
paragraph two
axiom seven

[pangloss]
once one dismisses
the rest of all possible worlds
one finds that this is
the best of all possible worlds!

[students]
once one dismisses
the rest of all possible worlds
one finds that this is
the best of all possible worlds!

[pangloss]
pray cl-ssify
pigeons and camels

[maximillian]
pigeons can fly!

[paquette]
camels are mammals!

[pangloss]
there is a reason
for everything under the sun!

[candide]
there is a season
for everything under the sun!

[maximillian]
objection!
what about snakes?

[pangloss]
snakes!
’twas snake that tempted mother eve
because of snake we now believe
that though depraved
we can be saved
from h-llfire and d-mnation

[students]
because of snake’s temptation!

[pangloss]
if snake had not seduced our lot
and primed us for salvation
jehovah could not pardon all
the sins that we call cardinal
involving bed and bottle!

[all]
now onto aristotle!

[pangloss]
mankind is one
all men are brothers!

[students]
as you’d have done
do unto others!

[pangloss]
it’s understood in
this best of all possible worlds–

[maximillian]
all’s for the good in
this best of all possible worlds!

[candide]
objection!
what about war?

[pangloss]
war!
though war may seem a bl–dy curse
it is a blessing in reverse
when cannon roar
both rich and poor
by danger are united!

[students]
till every wrong is righted!

[pangloss]
philosophers make evident
the point that i have cited
’tis war makes equal — as it were —
the n-ble and the commoner
thus war improves relations!

[all]
now onto conjugations!

[pangloss]
amo, amas
amat, amamus!

[students]
amo, amas
amat, amamus!

[pangloss]
proving that this is
the best of all possible worlds
with love and kisses
the best of all possible worlds!

[students]
proving that this is
the best of all possible worlds
with love and kisses
the best of all possible worlds!

[pangloss]
quod erat demonstrandum!
qed!
amo, amas
amat, amamus!

[maximillian] (overlapping)
quod erat demunstrandum!
qed!
amo, amas!
quod erat demonstrandum!

[paquette] (overlapping)
quod erat demunstrandum!
qed!
amo, amas!

[candide] (overlapping)
quod erat demonstrandum!
qed!

[cunegonde] (overlapping)
quod erat demunstrandum!

[all]
quod erat demonstrandum
in this best of all
possible, possible, possible worlds!
quod erat demonstrandum!
q!
e!
d!
