[ Ploobis groans as he looks through a pile of moldy papers. ] 

Scred

More bills, your thoughtlessness!

Ploobis

Bills, bills, bills! What's the use? We're never gonna be able to pay 'em.

Scred

Awww, what's the matter, privy breath?

Ploobis

Scred... our fair land of Gorch is on the brink of default.

Scred

No, it's not, it's on the edge of Scabland! There's the border, right over there!

Ploobis

You idiot!  [ POW! Ploobis cuffs Scred in the head. ]

Scred

Oooh!

Ploobis

We're on the brink of default!

Scred

Well, what does that mean?

Ploobis

It means we can't pay our bills. It means the garbage man will no longer be able to deliver the garbage.

Scred

Oh... How will we feed the rats?

Ploobis

What we need, Scred, is fiscal assistance!

Scred

Oh -- that sounds painful!

Ploobis

Scred!  [ POW! ]  You're no help.

Scred

I'm just trying to help, your annoyance... but, ya know, usually when we need help, we ask... you know who.

Ploobis

Oh, yeah! The Mighty Favog!

[ GONNNG! The Mighty Favog is revealed. ]

Favog

THIS IS THE MIGHTY FAVOG. THAT'S MY NAME, WISDOM'S MY GAME. 

Ploobis

Mighty Favog -- we have come to seek fiscal assistance!

Favog

OOOH. THAT SOUNDS PAINFUL. 

Scred

That's what I said!

Ploobis

Will you shut UP!  [ POW! ]  Oh, Mighty Favog --

Favog

TALK TA ME!

Ploobis

Our fair land of Gorch is on the brink of default!

Favog

NO, IT'S NOT. IT'S RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF SCABLAND. SEE THE BORDER OVER THERE?

Scred

See! I told ya!

Ploobis

Shut up, Scred.  [ POW! ]

Scred

Ow ow ow ow ow!

Ploobis

Listen, Favog -- Gorch is broke. We can't pay our bills, and we need your help.

Favog

IT'S GONNA COST YA.

Ploobis

But we're broke. I mean, I got nothing to sacrifice.

Favog

WELL, WHAT ABOUT YER FRIEND THERE?

Ploobis

He's got nothing either.

Scred

That's right!

Favog

NO, NO, I MEAN -- I'LL TAKE HIM!

[ Scred shudders. ]

Ploobis

Oh... yeah!

Scred

No! No, no! Not old Scred! Oh, no!

Favog

YEAH, YEAH...

Scred

No, if I go... who'll torture the birds?

[ Ploobis picks Scred up and tosses him into the sacrificial well. ]

Ploobis

Get in there.

Favog

YEAH, RIGHT IN THERE.

Scred

Oh, no! No, not old Scred! Nooooooo...

[ Scred falls in with a splash. There's a flushing sound, and The Mighty Favog smacks his lips. ]

Favog

HE DON'T GO DOWN EASY.

Ploobis

Listen, Favog -- now, how can you help Gorch?

Favog

GORCH IS BETTER OFF ALREADY.

Ploobis

How come?

Favog

YA GOT ONE LESS MOUTH TA FEED.

Ploobis

Oh, yeah...

Favog

YA WANT SOME MORE HELP? BRING SOME MORE FRIENDS!

[ Scred pops up from the hole. ]

Scred

Yeah, and bring some girls!

Ploobis

Get in there...

Favog

GET BACK IN THERE! SEXIST REMARK...
