Azelma: Does it not appear to be blocked?
Xiph: It does appear to be blocked.
A gunshot
Azelma: Er, what else does it appear t'be, sir?
Xiph: Besides blocked? Appears to be a barricade.

Heike makes more noises until Xiphosuran takes off the gag
Heike: Phaw! coughs So! You see! I was sick! You have no choice but to set
me free, for it proves I don't know nothin!
Comb: Nay, I fear-est we knew-eth that already…

Azelma: We're going to the mother's house soon. What are you doing?
Feuilly: Practicing.
Joly: We're gonna get a job and get lots of money.
Heike: Why don't you just steal it? Isn't that what you do?
Comb: What-eth? No-eth.
Heike: And why are you talking like that? It's getting annoying.
Comb: I am-eth simply brushing-eth up my Shakespeare-eth.
Heike: Ah.
The room explodes. They all fall through the floor and into an underground cave-
thing. Screams and thumps
Comb: What the heck-eth!
Heike & Feuilly: Ow.
Joly: AAH! All my bones are broken! I'm lying in an unknown place filled with
unknown diseases! My wounds will get infected! sneezes And I've caught the worst disease of them all!
Azelma: The plague?!
Joly: Duh colb.
Xiph: YES!!!! I've found it at last!
Feuilly: Enjolras!?
Xiph: The Ostrich's lair!
Feuilly: Oh…
Xiph: We'll get a huge promotion for this one. Azelma!
Azelma: Sah?
Ostrich Queen: Hello?
Comb: Oh my-eth.

Enjolras: Nooo!
Joly, Feuilly, and Combeferre: ENJOLRAS!!!
Enjy: Drat.
Joly: Fearless leader, you cured me!
Feuilly: Where are you?
The ostrich laughs nervously. Everyone gasps
Enjolras: Yes, I'm afraid it's true. This ostrich is my Siamese twin. All those years
at the café I managed it hide him from you, but finally, at the barricade, I
couldn't take it any more, and I decided to go visit my mother. But then she died, so I'm living in this cave with my brother.
Azelma: Wow.
Feuilly: Oh well. You'll come back to continue the revolution, right?
Ostrich: He won't! I'm not going to be killed on some barricade!
Xiph: You aren't going to be killed on some barricade. I'm going to kill you now.
Ostrich: No! Why?
Xiph: I don't know, Galia's weird.
Heike: Galia?
Xiph: It's the government I work for.
Everyone: Ohhh…
Xiph: Well, if this king doesn't want to be killed, then I see only one other solution.
Joly: What might that be?
Xiph: We must separate you!
Once more, he starts his chainsaw. There is a scream or two before it fades
off…
Announcer: Adventure! Romance! Chainsaws! Will the twins escape? Will they all
die horrible painful deaths? Will Combeferre ever really learn to speak
Shakespeare? Find out all this and more, next week on… the Hoogbah
Hour!
Oooooooo, the suspence! Hahahaha! Another episode, perhaps? We'll see. You'll see boys... prozacprozacprozac....
