With apologies to Monty Python

CONTROLLEDCHAOS: They've bled us white, the AOA bastards. They've taken everything we had, and not just from us, from our fathers, and from our fathers' fathers.

LORETTA (aka STAN): And from our fathers' fathers' fathers.

CONTROLLEDCHAOS: Yeah.

LORETTA: And from our fathers' fathers' fathers' fathers.

CONTROLLEDCHAOS: Yeah. All right, Stan. Don't labour the point. And what have the AOA ever given us in return?!

XERXES: The aquaduct?

CONTROLLEDCHAOS: What?

XERXES: The aquaduct

CONTROLLEDCHAOS: Oh. Yeah, yeah. They did give us that. Uh, that's true. Yeah.

COMMANDO #3: And the sanitation.

LORETTA: Oh, yeah, the sanitation, CONTROLLEDCHAOS. Remember what the city used to be like?

CONTROLLEDCHAOS: Yeah. All right. I'll grant you the aqueduct and the sanitation are two things that the AOA have done.

MATTHIAS: And the roads.

CONTROLLEDCHAOS: Well, yeah. Obviously the roads. I mean, the roads go without saying, don't they? But apart from the sanitation, the aqueduct, and the roads--

COMMANDO: Irrigation.

XERXES: Medicine.

COMMANDOS: Huh? Heh? Huh...

COMMANDO #2: Education.

COMMANDOS: Ohh...

CONTROLLEDCHAOS: Yeah, yeah. All right. Fair enough.

COMMANDO #1: And the wine.

COMMANDOS: Oh, yes. Yeah...

FRANCIS: Yeah. Yeah, that's something we'd really miss, Reg, if the AOA left. Huh.

COMMANDO: Public baths.

LORETTA: And it's safe to walk in the streets at night now, CONTROLLEDCHAOS.

FRANCIS: Yeah, they certainly know how to keep order. Let's face it. They're the only ones who could in a place like this.

COMMANDOS: Hehh, heh. Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh.

CONTROLLEDCHAOS: All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the AOA ever done for us?

XERXES: Brought peace.

CONTROLLEDCHAOS: Oh. Peace? Shut up!
