j. ketch: Yes, and I hope it will be a lesson to you. (Sticks gallows into bracket on back edge of playboard.)
punch: But what about my poor wife and sixteen small children, most of them twins and the oldest only three years of age!
j. ketch: Mr. Punch, you are to be hanged by the neck till you are dead, dead, dead!
punch: What! Three times?
j. ketch: I expect once will be enough. Put your head in this noose.
punch: (Pretending to thrust his head into noose, missing completely.) Where? There?
j. ketch: No, no, a little further to the right.
punch: I'm not very good at this. I was never hanged before, you know. Here? No, there. Oops, missed again.
