God:
All right. When is judgment day?Vizzini:
The battle of wits has begun.
It ends when you decide and we both wait and find out who is right...and who is dead.
But it's so simple.God:
All I have to do is divine from what I know of you:
are you the sort of god who tells us December 21st is judgment day?
Now, a clever god would hint that it may be December 21st just to get everyone to repent. But only a great fool would fall for that since Jesus didn't even know the day or the hour. But I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose December 21st. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not assume it is not December 21st.
You've made your decision then?Vizzini:
Not remotely.God:
Because there have been so many previous judgment day predictions, as everyone knows, and they have all obviously been wrong, so considering the pattern I clearly can not believe December 21st is judgment day.
Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.Vizzini:
WAIT TILL I GET GOING! Where was I?God:
previous predictions.Vizzini:
Yes, previous predictions.God:
And you must have suspected I would see the pattern and be suspicious this time. You would have expected this, so I can clearly choose the date in front of me.
You're just stalling now.
