The Thief: [as Tack, asleep, sews parts of the Thief's cloak together] He's stitchin' me up like a boot! Sorry kid, this boot was made for walkin'. Zigzag: [as he is being eaten by crocodiles] Ow, my bottom! Ow , my top! Greedy things, don't you ever stop? Zigzag: Oh ffffff-Phido! Phido the Vulture: [screams] You're giving me heart attacks here! Phido the Vulture: [after being poked with the perching stick] What? What, not the stick now! Ohh! The Thief: My father said, "Never say die!" [as the pole that he's on to steal the three golden balls bends:] The Thief: Although, frequently say, "Ahhh ahhhh ahhhh ahhh ahhh!" The Thief: [looks at his reflection in the palace wall] AHHHHHHHHH! The Thief: [flies through the window of a woman's apartment with a rose in his mouth] [Woman screams from inside] The Thief: Ooh... naughty. Phido the Vulture: [squawks] I'm so hungry I could eat a vegetarian! Zigzag: O Great King Nod, have no fear. Zigzag, your grand vizier is here! King Nod: [wakes up] What, what? [bored] King Nod: Oh, it's *you*... Zigzag! The Thief: What a dump! Nobody lives like this except college kids! Nurse: Your bath's ready! The water's getting cold! Princess, he's a Cobbler! Keep your eyes on your work, Cobbler! Tack the Cobbler: Y-yes, ma'am. Tack the Cobbler: [after Princess Yum-Yum and Nanny leave] Nothing wrong with being a Cobbler. Why can't I ever talk when it matters? Phido the Vulture: Heeeeeeeeeeere's Phido! The Thief: Gotta get the ruby off the fat guy's head... gotta get the ruby off the fat guy's head... gotta get... The Thief: [Runs into sign] [Reading] The Thief: "No Prayers Past this Point". Hmmm... [turns] The Thief: [Runs into another sign] They should have a sign, "Beware of Signs"! <

Phido the Vulture: [makes Phido through hoops] AWWK! Zigzag: But as you see, that's not all I can do! Haha! Hee-hee! I have power over people, too, though they may appear complex. For me... they fall like playing cards... and I control the decks! [brandishes deck of cards with tricks but they slip up] Zigzag: Ah! Eh-heh! Ho ho! Ah! Hee-hee! But all this is nothing for now in my hand is the very key to the Golden land, for no man can take it, no matter how great, unless he possesses these three balls [presents balls] Zigzag: OF FATE!

Princess Yum Yum: [singing] But she is more than this / There's a mind in the body of this pretty miss! Princess Yum Yum: This life I live in regal splendor seems a waste. If I could help Father, instead of just sitting as his side, I'd be doing something useful. The Thief: Everything hurts, why do I do this? [sees the Three Golden Balls] The Thief: Oh yeah! Pain's gone! Princess Yum Yum: Do cobblers have names? Tack the Cobbler: [nods] Princess Yum Yum: Well, what *is* your name? Tack the Cobbler: [holds up a tack] Tack Princess Yum Yum: Tack? Is that your name? Zigzag: And now, O greatest of the great, to rest you from opposive state. I've searched the world and brought you thence, at no little effort and great expence. A play-thing! Princess Yum Yum: [bored] Oh. Zigzag: From far south of Gaza, a bountiful maiden from Zigzag: [whispers lecherously into King Nod's ear] Zigzag: Mombassa! King Nod: [wakes up] Oh-oh-oh! Mombassa! Chief Roofless: May I remind you gentlemen that when in doubt, consult the brigand's... handbook! Princess Yum Yum: [referring to Tack] *Who* is this? Zigzag: O Greatest King of all the Earth, this lowball [uses cane to stop Tack from walking off] Zigzag: cobbler of no worth, attacked me in the square today! Shall we take his head away? King Nod: [waking up] What? No, no, if you really think so, Zigzag.

It is written among the limitless constellations of the celestial heavens, and in the depths of the emerald seas, and upon every grain of sand in the vast deserts that the world which we see is an outward and visible dream of an inward and invisible reality. Once upon a time, there was a golden city. In the center of this golden city, atop the tallest minaret were three gold balls. The ancients had prophesized that if the three golden balls were ever taken away, harmony would yield to discord, and the city would fall to destruction... and death! But the mystics had also foretold that the city might be saved by the simplest soul with the smallest and simplest of things. In the city, there dwelt a lowly shoemaker who was known as Tack the cobbler.

[Tack is shown asleep] Narrator: Also in the city, existed a thief... who shall be nameless. [the Thief is shown sneaking about] The Thief: [running through the palace] Who *decorated* this place?
