Earl: Gotta say, Dad, I'm a little nervous about this presentation... but then I think of our product, and I"m like, hey, it's all good! Duke: Excellency, here's your problem - everyone's rooting for the rebels. The more you suppress them, the more they're viewed as freedom-loving folk heroes. You're losing the perspective battle. You need to redefine them. We're recommending that from now on, you only refer to them as the "Berzerki Taliban"! Dictator: The Berzerki Taliban? Earl: Think about it, sir. The Taliban are violent Muslim extremists - the worst brand on earth! Dictator: Brilliant. I don't know how you guys come up with this stuff. Earl: Well, sir, my dad and I are public relations pros... Dictator: Say, do you think it matters that the rebels are Jewish? Earl: Yes. Dictator: Thought it might. Duke: Okay, then how about the Berzerki Talmud? It just has to sound bad.
