[Mark Jones]

Congratulations! We look forward to accepting your surrender!

Hope springs eternal or, in the words of Martin Luther King Jr., "I have a dream".

[William Reaves]

I may have a dream, but you're going to have a nightmare.

[Mark Jones]

A logistical nightmare of trying to figure out how in the world we are going to house all of the French POWs we have taken.

I suppose we could march them all into the sea and let them drown. No, that is an Old Boney tactic. Unlike you Parisian Sewer Rats, we Scots are civilized. We will just make them eat Haggis until they come to like it.

[William Reaves]

Indeed the Scots became "civilized" after being clubbed into submission by their English masters and reduced to a life of groveling servitude best appreciated by sheep and dogs. You must be undoubtedly grateful that they allow you eat their cast-off garbage and breathe the fetid air of their foul and dying monarchy, the obvious result of centuries of serial inbreeding. And please set the record straight: we drowned the Turks only because we did not have time to behead them all.

Cheers!

[Ed Blackburn]

Good news Bill.
