We join King Steve and his new Left Hand Man Gary (Gary is his Left Hand Man because his Right Hand Man is now, and always will be, Rodney the Coffee Stain) walking in the luxurious and oft unkept castle gardens.
King Steve
Left Hand Man, Gary, look at my shoes. Aren't they fantastic?
Gary
Highness, I find myself being drawn to complimenting your shoes.
King Steve
Thank you, Lefty! Yes, they're quite nice, and very comfortable. Very expensive, too.
Gary
That would explain the obscene sum of money that's gone missing from the treasury.
King Steve
Indeed. These shoes weren't cheap. They're made from baby skin.
King Steve
Fresh daily.

Gary
Actually, sire, that's something I wanted to talk to you about. Even though those shoes (which, I must say, are the nicest shoes I have ever seen in my life) are wonderful, they're also quite disturbing.
Gary
They sound of babies crying with every step.
King Steve
Of course, fool! Why do you think they cost so very, very much?
