Jorge de Burgos: "Laughter is a devilish wind which deforms, uh, the lineaments of the face and makes men look like monkeys."
William: "Monkeys do not laugh. Laughter is particular to men."
Jorge de Burgos: "As is sin. Christ never laughed."
William: "Can we be so sure?"
Jorge de Burgos: "There is nothing in the Scriptures to say that he did."
William: "And there's nothing in the Scriptures to say that he did not. Why, even the saints have been known to employ comedy, to ridicule the enemies of the Faith. For example, when the pagans plunged St. Maurice into the boiling water, he complained that his bath was too cold. The Sultan put his hand in... scalded himself."
