Monty Python's Flying Circus, Episode 5
Salesman: (knocks on door) Burglar! Burglar! (Woman opens door.)
Woman: Yes?
Salesman: Burglar, madam.
Woman: What do you want?
Salesman: I want to come in and steal a few firings, madam.
Woman: Are you an encyclopedia salesman?
Salesman: No, madam. I'm a burglar; I burgle people.
Woman: I think you're an encyclopedia salesman.
Salesman: Oh, I'm not. Open the door. Let me in please.
Woman: If I let you in, you'll sell me encyclopedias.
Salesman: I won't, madam. I just want to come in and ransack the flat, honestly.
Woman: Promise? No encyclopedias?
Salesman: None at all.
Woman: Alright. (opens door) You'd better come in then.
(Salesman enters.)
Salesman: Mind you, I don't know whether you've really considered the advantages of owning a really fine set of modern encyclopedias. You know, they can really do you wonders.
(Scene cuts to a man at a desk.)
Man: That man was a successful encyclopedia salesman, but not all encyclopedia salesmen are successful. Here is an unsuccessful encyclopedia salesman. (Scene cuts to a body flying out of a high window and then back to the man at the desk.)
Man: Now here are two unsuccessful encyclopedia salesmen. (Scene cuts to two bodies flying out of a high window and then back to the man at the desk.)
Man: I think there's a lesson there for all of us.
Lesson, indeed.
