Abe, get the truck and drive it up before the entrance to the mosque. We'll speak from that. Isobel can open the hoe down, get the crowd over and then introduce me.
gpt
Introduce me as Omar ben Crawf, the great friend and assistant of El Hassan. Build it up.

Right,

Elmer first round up the boys and get them spotted through the audience. You're the cheerleaders and also the sergeants at arms, of course. Nail the hecklers quickly, before they can get organized among themselves. In short, the standard deal. He thought a moment.

And see about getting a hall where we can hold a meeting of the ringleaders, those are the ones we're going to have to cool out.

Wizard,

You seem to have this all down pat.
gpt
It's routine, he said absently.

The brain of a mob is no larger than that of its minimum member. Any disciplined group, almost no matter how small can model it to order.
gpt
Just in case we don't have the opportunity to get together again, what happens at the hall meeting of ringleaders? What do Jake, Cliff and I do?
human
What comes naturally, Homer said.
gpt
We'll elect each other to the most important positions. But everybody else that seems to have anything at all on the ball will be elected to some committee or other. Give them jobs compiling reports to El Hassan or something. Keep them busy. Give Reunited Nations headquarters in Dakar time to come up with something.
human
Suppose some of these ringleaders are capable, aggressive types and won't stand for us getting all the important positions?
gpt
We're _more_ aggressive and more capable. Let my team handle that. One of the boys will jump up and accuse the guy of being a spy and an enemy of El Hassan, and one of the other boys will bear him out, and a couple of others will hustle him out of the hall. Homer yawned.
human
It's all routine, Isobel.
gpt
O.K., let's go, gal.
