Siete minutos, Ismael Camacho Arango [read with me TXT] 📗

FIFI
Two years?
HOMER
Two years?
CARDINAL
I only have a chalet by the beach, after helping those idiots with their coup.
AURITA
Imbeciles!
GENERAL
Your highness will be treated very well by my government.
EVERYBODY
Hurrah to our new president. Hurrah!
FIFI
Religion has gone down the drain. We have communist bishops, married priests,
naked nuns, crazy Franciscans, bad Jesuits, bigamist Dominicans, destitute saints,
canonised footballers, archangels who have been warned, cherubs working for the
Metro Goldwin Mayer, virgins with no reference, Adam and Eve without an apple and
Jesus Christ trying to pass a driving test.
CARDINAL
That’s why we need a new government to lead the country but I hope the general
doesn’t forget my needs.
GENERAL
You’ll have your chalet.
CARDINAL
You’ll have my blessings.
GENERAL
Thank you, your highness.
CARDINAL
I’m all yours, Excellency.
AURITA
He’ll have his new Cadillac and cars.
GENERAL
Yes.
SEAGULL
I am hungry.
ADMIRAL
We need a strong government for our people. That’s why we’re here tonight. We
must bring order to the country and the church. Priests have to pray more.

CARDINAL
You speak of sanctity and virtue.
GENERAL
We’ll fix this with lots of canons.
ADMIRAL
We can’t forget the tanks, ships and submarines.
HOMER
I have good submarines for you.
GENERAL
Thank you. We can show them in the parades.
ADMIRAL
Well, sometimes we use them in manoeuvres.

HOMER
My submarines must be protected against humidity.
ADMIRAL
That’s good. Sea water finishes with everything.
GENERAL
A parade with no submarines is like a party without a drink.
AURITA
Or without any music.
