Osama: "Hey Abdul, ain't that a nice one?"

Abdul: "Huh? Which one? Clint's?"

Mohammed (who comes rushing down into the cave's inner recesses): "My Osama, what ails thee? Is the tomato sauce not tasty enough?"

Obam -- sorry -- Osama: "The noise, the noise."

Abdul (points a scimitar at Mohammed's fat belly): "Answer your master."

Mohammed: "No worry; it was just one of them American helicopters. Cheney will be delivering a new batch of Leone's masterpieces in just about ... oh, there he is."

Osama: "Hi Cheney! Howsa life going?"
