148 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,269 Oh, no, not the Sheriff of Nottingham.

149 00:08:09,333 --> 00:08:11,435 Oh, no, no, that's the Great Gonzo.

156 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:34,472 Not until you tell me the exact location of Robin Hood's hideout.

157 00:08:34,533 --> 00:08:36,668 l'll never tell you. Never!

158 00:08:37,433 --> 00:08:39,868 - That's terrific. - Thank you.

159 00:08:39,933 --> 00:08:42,168 And now it's torture time.

161 00:08:50,333 --> 00:08:53,169 We have ways of making you talk.

162 00:08:53,233 --> 00:08:55,635 Take these thumbscrews, for instance.

163 00:08:55,700 --> 00:08:57,435 All right. What do they do?

164 00:08:57,500 --> 00:08:59,735 - Put your thumb in here like this. - Yes.

165 00:08:59,799 --> 00:09:02,402 - That's it, then turn the handle. - This way?

166 00:09:02,466 --> 00:09:04,034 - No, the other way. - Sory.

167 00:09:04,100 --> 00:09:07,436 That's better. When you do that it presses the bar on the thumb.

168 00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:10,002 Whoo! Ahh! Whoo!

169 00:09:10,066 --> 00:09:12,001 Ooh! Ow! Wow.

170 00:09:12,066 --> 00:09:16,103 - All right, now will you talk? - No. l'll never tell you, never.

171 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,669 All right, another turn.

172 00:09:19,733 --> 00:09:21,334 You're wasting your time.

173 00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:24,401 Whaaa! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

174 00:09:24,466 --> 00:09:26,734 You could be right about that.

175 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,370 Ooh, but you won't talk so bravely on the rack, my dear.

176 00:09:31,433 --> 00:09:35,170 - The rack? What's that? - You'll wish you never asked.

177 00:09:37,533 --> 00:09:41,436 - Gonzo's tying to get himself killed. - Yeah, but he won't make it.

178 00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:43,768 He never succeeds at anything.

179 00:09:43,833 --> 00:09:45,467 [laughing]

180 00:09:45,533 --> 00:09:48,469 Best he can hope for is maimed.

181 00:09:50,333 --> 00:09:53,069 Manacles secured, hand and foot, right?

182 00:09:54,233 --> 00:09:58,270 Correct. There is no escape from this pain.

183 00:09:58,333 --> 00:10:00,601 - Ugh. - This pain here?

184 00:10:01,366 --> 00:10:03,101 Whoo! Ooh!

185 00:10:04,366 --> 00:10:06,968 Yes! Isn't that terrific?

186 00:10:07,866 --> 00:10:09,867 [screaming]

187 00:10:09,933 --> 00:10:13,069 Come on, talk. How much more of this can you take?

188 00:10:13,133 --> 00:10:15,635 [screaming]
