Script[]
| White Mage | (to Black Mage) How were you able to take Black Belt out? |
| Earlier on, before Black Mage took out Black Belt... | |
| Black Mage | (to Thief) You'll give me the secret to defeating Black Belt for just half of my share of the treasure we'll find on our quest? Sign me up! |
| Back to present time. | |
| White Mage | (to Black Mage) And just where did you get the inane idea that you could disguise yourself as him?! |
| Earlier on, before Black Mage took out Black Belt... | |
| Black Mage | (to Thief) You'll give me the secret to winning White Mage's heart for just half of Fighter's share of the treasure we'll find? Done and double done. |
| Thief hands a scroll to Black Mage. | |
| Thief | Just sign on the dotted line, the one under it, and the one under that one. |
| Black Mage | Done. |
| Thief | And initial it at the bottom. And then the top. In that order. |
| Black Mage | Not a problem. |
| Thief | And then forge Fighter's signature. |
| Black Mage | Beat ya to it. |
| Thief | I feel it necessary to inform you that the contract gives me the rights to the bottom halves of your treasures. |
| Black Mage | Top, bottom, what do I care? |
| Thief | Well, it's just that... |
| Thief | (quietly) ...I'd have to go through the top halves to get to the bottom halves, and I do happen to have first rights to any treasure I see, so I'll acquire your left over halves on the way to my halves. |
| Black Mage | What's you say? I didn't quite catch it. |
| Thief | Just speaking in fineprintese. Don't worry about it. |
| Back to present time. | |
| Black Mage | Look, the point is that I'm here, it's night time, and we're in your tent. So let's get wacky. |
| Silence... | |
| Black Mage | Wacky with love, that is! |
| White Mage | No. |
