The Cathedral Steps be quiet with only a few present. It be nearing dark, and all be peaceful.....
Enter Stage Left, stumbling with pain, a Ragged Old Fool, in motley.
Enter Stage Right stumbling with bottel, another Less Old Fool, also in motley.

 
[1st Fool] Greetings M'Ld
[2nd Fool] Well, now, be it not my old friend Robin the Ruthless in Battel?
[Battel] Ay, it be so. And who be thee?
[Bottel] Why, I be Robin the Ruthless in Bottel...
[Battel] Ahhhh!
[Bottel] ...know you not me after all this time?
[Battel] Only too well! It was all your fault really!
[Bottel] Nay M'Ld, t'was really Babbel's fault you know!
[Battel] But it was your idea!
[Bottel] Ah, yes, but he was the one who....
[Battel] Look, I had the Town Waits ready with the fire buckets....
[Bottel] Yes, but it was Babbel who started the fire..
[Battel] Ah, no matter! They seem to have fixed up the damage to the Cathedral rather well....
[Bottel] .. dropped the torch..
 
[Serious Announcer] Enter upstage, a third Fool, in motley.
 
[Battel] !!!!!!!
[Bottel] !!!!!!!
[Babbel] Greetings, My good and old friends.....
[Battel] He be mine!!!
[Bottel] I saw him first!!!
[Babbel] ... ahgg, urp, please, I can not breathe...
[Battel] Nay, choke him not, I wish to hear him sing soprano before he dies...
[Babbel] Wait!! Our previous patron, Duchess Jacyntha will not take us back if we be caught fighting...
[Bottel] We plan not on getting caught!
[Battel] You hold him while I hit...
 
[Serious Announcer] ...and so we leave for the moment the three good old friends chatting amiably, fiddling with their knives, remembering old times. Of the disastrous fire that nearly destroyed the Cathedral, I will say nothing! Needless to say, that may have something to do with the reason why the three once good friends did part company and did leave the region, but of that too I will say nothing...
 
[Bottel] And so you should too.
[Battel] Yes, thy bribe was high enough!
