Script[]
| Red Mage | Ready... now! |
| Fighter rushes past the bone dragon and plunges his swords onto its legs. | |
| Bone Dragon | Bah, my feet. Can't move! |
| Red Mage | Haste! Haste! Haste! Haste! Haste! |
| Bone Dragon | (glowing redshift) I fail to seejustwhatthisissupposedtodo. Doyoudonestlythink...(unintelligible due to Haste effect) |
| Red Mage | With that much Haste build-up, our undead and skeletal friend should be fossil fuel in a few seconds. |
| Black Mage | I can't believe I'm saying this without a hint of sarcasm, but I'm impressed. |
| Red Mage | Oh, yes. It would be a stunning victory to be sung about for ages if Haste spells worked like that. |
| Black Mage | What. |
| Red Mage | (with mortarboard and chalkboard) Stacked Haste spells only increase the overall duration, not the potency. |
| Black Mage | But he's super-accelerated into a red shift. |
| Red Mage | (beside a film reel) I just wanted to see what it would be like if physics worked that way. |
| The dragon "crumbles into dust". | |
| Red Mage | Tell the truth, pretty convincing illusion spell, wasn't it? |
| Black Mage brandishes his daggers. | |
