[Serious Announcer] Thou dost all know what this is about by now, I'm sure.
[Silly Announcer] Politeness never hurt anybody! Remember without the support of the good people of the Steps, we would starve!
[Serious Announcer] Yes, but they could throw fresher fruit!
[Silly Announcer] ...and eggs!
 
[Quibbel] ...since we have not seen a Crier in a while?
[Bottel] Ahhh! We be a happy bunch here!
[Battel] Why be you wearing that hideous fluorescent orange cloak?
[<ANTIR5>] I be Incognito!
[Bottel] Well, Lord Incognito, you definitely would not be noticed if you lean against the brightly coloured walls over there...
[Babbel] ...in the Unenchanted Ground!
[Quibbel] ...method in the madness, I see...
[Battel] Wait, you forgot your roll of special blue plastic tape with the yellow words Unenchanted Ground...
 
[Babbel] I still hath not forgiven the GRAND PUNTIFF for making us look like fools the last time we tried to put one over him...
[Quibbel] Yes, but we ARE Fools...
[Battel] It all be under control. I just persuaded the GRAND PUNTIFF to present a gift to the Duke for his birthday.
[Lady Tanglwyt] But why would the GRAND PUNTIFF, for his own birthday, give a present to the Duke?
[Bottel] That could be unwise, he is well liked by the Duke already.
[Battel] Two years ago the GRAND PUNTIFF presented the Duke with a small lime. The Duke was so offended that he told his guards to shove the lime up his fundamental orifice!
[Lady Tanglwyt] Strange way to eat fruits...
[Babbel] Nay, the GRAND PUNTIFF...
[Battel] Last Year the GRAND PUNTIFF presented the Duke with a potato. This gift again irritated the Duke no end and orders were once again issued to the guards to shove the apple up his fundamental orifice!
[Quibbel] I thought thou said potato.
[Babbel] Pomme de Terre!
[Lady Tanglwyt] Watch thy language!
[Quibbel] Sorry!
[Bottel] What be so amusing?
[Battel] I just persuaded the GRAND PUNTIFF this year to give the Duke a gift of a pineapple!
[Lady Tanglwyt] What be a pineapple?
