"Um, I think I'll sit this one out..." said Bob backing away from the climax.
"Ha, ha, pathetic Lizy!" said Cruel with a sinister chuckle. "This is my empire now! Your lowly king stood not a chance against me! And niether will you."
"Now look here!" demanded Lizy standing his ground. "When you say the King's name, you'd better say it with a capital 'K'! Otherwise I'll have to do something we might both regret!"
"Phooey!" laughed Cruel. "Your pathetic threats mean nothing to me! What are you going to do? Make me a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich? Ooo... I'm so scared..."
"Well, you ought be," argued Lizy, "Because...
...I'm challenging you to a duel..."
...that's exactly what I had in mind!"
