The PC Viper Chronicles, Chapter One - part III

In part I, PC Viper announced his candidacy by threatening the life of a puppy named Hamster. In part II, another candidate named Sam Bucks denounced P.C. Viper's position and promised to nuke Viper if he killed Hamster.

The first and only official debate between P.C. Viper and Sam Bucks was historically important as the first nationally televised debate not to feature any major party candidates, only two independents. The debate took three hours, and not much was discussed except the puppy position. A partial transcript follows.

BUCKS: You won’t kill the puppy!
VIPER
: I will kill the puppy!
BUCKS
: You won’t kill the puppy!
VIPER
: I will kill the puppy!
BUCKS
: You won’t kill the puppy!
VIPER
: I will kill the puppy!
BUCKS
: You won’t kill the puppy!
VIPER
: I will kill the puppy!
BUCKS
: You won’t kill the puppy!
VIPER
: I will kill the puppy!
MODERATOR
: Please, gentlemen, let’s move to the next issue. National poverty levels have risen to record highs...
BUCKS
: Poverty is a terrible thing.
VIPER
: I agree.
BUCKS
: That’s settled. You won’t kill the puppy!
VIPER
: I will kill the puppy!
BUCKS
: You won’t kill the puppy!
VIPER
: I will kill the puppy!

And so on. Despite this fascinating exchange of ideas, the debate drew 200 million viewers, That’s more than any Super Bowl, or even more people than had voted in any election previously.
