VIRGIL: This is the ring of the slothful. Here, the condemned must run perpetually, pushing giant boulders to make up for their slothfulness in life.
DANTE: Why aren't they running very fast?
DEMON 1: Hey! Get up! Start running! Come on, what did I just say? Get up!
DEMON 2: They're not listening to you! What do we do now?
DEMON 1: Get up! This is Hell! Get working!
(A slothful person walks by slowly without a boulder, yawning)
DEMON 1: Hey! What are you yawning about? Where's your boulder?
SLOTH 1: Shut up.
DEMON 1: Don't tell me to shut up! I own your soul!
SLOTH 1: Meh.
DEMON 2: We can't let this go on.
SLOTH 2: Hey, look! Instead of pushing these boulders around all day, you can lie on them pretty easily.
SLOTH 3: Wow, this is comfortable.
SLOTH 4: I could fall asleep!
SLOTH 5: The fire perpetually nipping at our heels can't even reach us up here. This is great!
DEMON 1: Hey! Come on!
DEMON 2: We need help. Call Satan.
DEMON 1: No! We can handle this. Besides, he'll kill us.
DEMON 2: He'll be madder if he sees this and we haven't called him. Look! They barbequing!
DEMON 1: Hey, put down those hot dogs!
SLOTH 6: You want one?
SLOTH 7: Could I get a burger? Medium rare.
SLOTH 6: Make it yourself!
SLOTH 7: Eh, forget it.
DEMON 2: We need to call him.
DEMON 1: No!
(DEMON 2 jumps at DEMON 1. DEMON 1 tries to wrestle DEMON 2 to the ground, but DEMON 2 gets to the phone.)
DEMON 2: (over a PA system) Satan to Ring Five, Satan to Ring Five.
DEMON 1: Damn you! Now you've done it.
SATAN: What's going on in here? I leave you two in charge and the place goes to Hell.
DEMON 2: They're out of control, Sir.
SATAN: HEY!
SLOTH 8: Oh crap, it's the boss!
SLOTH 9: Get back to work! (They jump off the boulders and push them quickly)
DEMON 2: We're very sorry, Sir. It won't happen again, we promise.
SATAN: Yeah, I'm sure. (grumbling) middle managers...
