HOMER
I’m sure of that.
FAT PROFESSOR
Businessmen have a direct influence on our lives.
HOMER
Yes, of course.
FAT PROFESSOR
This illustrious scientist has been studying angels since his childhood. He used to
dress in a tunic and wings during Christmas time and his pyjama reminds him of them.
Have you seen him sleeping?
HOMER
I haven’t had that honour.
FAT PROFESSOR
He wears a long blue gown, beautiful plastic wings with golden beads and a blond wig
that goes down to his hips. He keeps a golden harp on his bedside table.
HOMER
It’s very interesting. Do you want another coke?
FAT PROFESSOR
All right.
Homer claps his hands and a sailor appears.
HOMER
Bring the professor another coke.
WAITER
Yes, Sir.
The man leaves the scene.
FAT PROFESSOR
After graduating with honours in the theology faculty of Rome, he wrote his thesis in
old Latin. No one can read it, because it’s very old but he won the Novel Prize for his
feat. It’s one of a few books that have not been translated.

The sailor arrives with the coca colas.
HOMER
What does the book say?
FAT PROFESSOR
It has 834 pages, written in verses of ten lines. Nobody knows what it says, until
someone translates it.
HOMER
It’s very interesting.
FAT PROFESSOR
He has won the first prize in the story of science, being a genius must be an illness.
HOMER
That’s obvious to me. Drink your coca cola.
FAT PROFESSOR
He earns 2,500 dollars a month, plus eight hundred dollars for expenses.
HOMER
It’s not much for such an important job.

FAT PROFESSOR
They don’t pay good money to geniuses like us.
HOMER
We’ll have to change that.
FAT PROFESSOR
He has wondered about the sex of angels since his infancy. Are they men or women?
It’s something to weaken the toughest guys.
HOMER
He’s a hero.
