Black Mage stands the ladder against the wall, climbs it and takes four light bulbs from the ceiling. He shows them to Carol
Black Mage
So yeah. That's four Orbs of Light. Don't touch them, they are hot. Hot with destiny!
Carol
Well. They are orbs. And they are hot.
Black Mage
See? You can't argue with fate. Now let us see the King.
Carol
I'll buzz you in.
And so, in the throne room...
King Steve
So you're saying that if we send every Light Warrior applicant, it will result in untold bloodshed as their worthless bodies are slain by the vast armadas of evil lurking in the shadows of our vast, dangerous world?
Queen Jane
Yes.
King Steve
And that is... bad?
Carol
(offscreen) Excuse me your highnesses, there are some Light Warriors here to see you.
King Steve
Oh, don't bother with that, Carol. Just send 'em out into the wild to be slain like the fodder they no doubt are.
Queen Jane
No no no! Send them in so we can interview them first.
King Steve
Oh right. We're trying to stop senseless and rampant death. Sorry, hon. Won't happen again, I promise.
