Transcript:
A carriage maneuvers down a dirt road. In the back sits LEOPOLD, Lord Mugthirst’s brother. He’s carrying a musket.

The carriage is in front of the relatively modest home of Lord Mugthirst. Leopold greets Lord Mugthirst.
Leopold: Good teatime, dear brother. I thought I’d pop in and see if you have any tea!
Mugthirst: Leopold! What brings you down from Huntchester?

Leopold: Charitable work for the British Museum. I’m going on an expedition to collect specimens.
Mugthirst: I don’t think we have any specimens around here. Unless the British Museum wants one of my daughters…

Leopold: Not here, brother. I’m setting off next Tuesday for that special continent where rich white people are allowed to shoot at anything or anybody they want.

Mugthirst: You’ll have to be a lot more specific than that!
Leopold: Oh yes, quite! Africa, dear brother. Africa. “The Hated Continent.”

Mugthirst: Quiet! It’s teatime!

Both are sipping from teacups.
Both: SLUUUUUURP!
