Scene three: The Hermit
[SEBASTIAN leads the group along to the mouth of a cave. SEBASTIAN peeks in the mouth of the cave and screams.]
SEBASTIAN: HERMIIIIIIT! COME ON OUT!
[THE HERMIT emerges from the cave and looks around.]
HERMIT: Why howdy there Sebastian, it's been quite a while.
SEBASTIAN: Yeah, too long my good friend.
[SEBASTIAN and THE HERMIT shake hands, and CIEL looks at GRELL with curiosity.]
CIEL: Sebastian, who's this?
SEBASTIAN: This is the Hermit. He's not just a normal hermit—he's the Hermit. He does everything Hermits do, and more.
HERMIT: [grins and waves] Howdy!
CIEL: [mutters to ALOIS] He seems to be just like a normal Hermit…
[SEBASTIAN runs over to CIEL and frowns.]
SEBASTIAN: Don't trash talk the Hermit! He's going to help us.
WILL: Help us or help his fleas? [he points to THE HERMIT, who is scratching at his head.]
SEBASTIAN: I assure you, he's here to help. [SEBASTIAN strolls over to THE HERMIT, smiling.] Hermit, may we have permission to access your flying car?
CIEL: [disbelieving] Flying car? Is that code name for something?
HERMIT: You want to borrow ol' Suzan? Sure, just try not to dent her. We've been through a lot together. [THE HERMIT takes out some keys from his pocket and presses a button. A huge black limo with big white wings flies into view. Everyone except SEBASTIAN's jaw drops.]
CIEL: [sputtering] W-w-wha wuh wuh…
[SEBASTIAN picks CIEL up and goes to the car.]
SEBASTIAN: Hop in, kids, we've gotta get to Germany before sunset!
WILL: [walks in the car, muttering] First I had to cross an endless chasm, now I'm riding in a flying car. What next, purple cows?
[After everyone gets inside of the car and it takes off, a purple cow trots across the screen and moos, leaning down to eat some grass. The scene is used as a crossover to the next scene.]
