Magic vanish at the double

T-Bag: Thank you so much, so very much for ruining my birthday. You've really surpassed yourself, the worst day of my life and it's all down to you. It's deliberate isn't it? Isn't it? You wake up in the morning and you think what can I do to drive her mad today? Don't you, don't you? Well say something.
T-Shirt: I do my best.
T-Bag: Well thanks to you and your blundering stupidity that gruesome little ginger nut Deborah is within a cat's whisker of finding the last gold bell.
T-Shirt: But you see I...
T-Bag: But things are going to change around here beginning now, this is my last chance of foiling Deborah and you're not going to mess it up.
T-Shirt: But I can help.
T-Bag: Not this time. I'm very sorry T-Shirt but what I'm about to do is for my own good.
T-Shirt: What are you talking about?
T-Bag: Turn around.
T-Shirt: What's the big idea?
T-Bag: Quiet! Hubble, bubble nothing but trouble. Magic vanish at the double.
T-Shirt: Noooooo! Oh, what did you have to go and do that for?
(T-Shirt blinks to try and use his magic).
T-Bag: It's no use, it's gone. Your magic, all gone.
T-Shirt: After all I've done for you.
T-Bag: Exactly.
T-Shirt: What am I supposed to do without any magic, answer me that.
T-Bag: What you're best at.
T-Bag & T-Shirt: Making tea.
T-Shirt: Oh that'll be a real bundle of fun, that will.
T-Bag: No more gadding about for you my lad, you're going to stay here.
T-Shirt: What here? All the time?
T-Bag: All the time. Where you can do no harm.
T-Shirt: But that's not fair, I haven't done anything to deserve this.
T-Bag: That's for me to decide. A cup of tea s'il vous plaît. And don't sulk.

Feeee-nished

Uncle Jumbo: Go on then, don’t stand round here looking gormless, go out and get me some more goodies.
Nikdit: What about my tea?
Uncle Jumbo: I told you didn’t I, It’s all feeee-nished (stuffs his face).

The Temple of Bells

Debbie: Seven gold bells. Only one more to get. That'll put T-Bag's nose right out of joint. Well let's go looking then.
Nikdit: Hiya.
Debbie: I, I didn't see you there.
Nikdit: You are stranger here, I can tell.
Debbie: That's right.
Nikdit: You on holiday?
Debbie: Some holiday.
Nikdit: You on your own?
Debbie: Yes.
Nikdit: Ooooh, you want to be careful. This isn't the place to be wandering around alone. There's a lot of bad people about.
Debbie: Seems pretty quiet to me.
Nikdit: Don't you believe it. There's thieves and vagabonds crawling from under every stone. You want to be careful.
Debbie: Do you live round here?
Nikdit: Not far, I'm Nikdit. You can call me Nick.
Debbie: I'm Debbie, pleased to meet you Nick but I've got to be on my way now.
Nikdit: Going already? What's the hurry?
Debbie: Well you see, I've got to find a little gold bell, there's not much more time.
Nikdit: I know this place like the back of my hand, I could tell you where to look.
Debbie: That would be kind.
Nikdit: Think nothing of it. Let's think, bells, bells, gold bell. I know the best place to look, would be the Temple of Bells, up on the hill.
Debbie: That sounds promising.
Nikdit: Now do be careful, there's thieves lurking in every shadow in this place and one could... lookout, quick!
Debbie: What's the matter? But...
Nikdit: Shhhhhhh.
Debbie: I can't see anything.
Nikdit: Over there, in those shadows. Be very quiet and very still. Don't move (Nikdit steals the bells from Debbie's bag). Good, he's gone. (Debbie sighs) It's safe now.
Debbie: But who was it?
Nikdit: Who knows? But you're safe now anyway.
Debbie: Right, where's this Temple of Bells then?
Nikdit: It's through there and up on the hill.
Debbie: I must say, it's nice to run into somebody so helpful and kind, thank you.
Nikdit: Don't thank me, just go, please, quickly.
Debbie: Yes, bye.
Nikdit: Bye bye. (Debbie leaves) Oh easy. Too easy.

Crumbly, Flaky Pastry

T-Bag: Imagine what it must be like to sink your teeth into that crumbly flaky pastry there, and feel the fresh squidgy cream swirling round your tongue, and lick the delicate chocolate from your lips and force the jam through the gaps in your teeth.
Uncle Jumbo: Stop I must have them, all of them.

Giving them back

Debbie: T-Shirt!
T-Shirt: Debbie, hiya. Have you heard the good news? I've left T-Bag.
Debbie: Oh yes.
T-Shirt: It's true.
Debbie: A real den of thieves we have here.
T-Shirt: This is Nick, he's my pal.
Debbie: That figures, you stole my bells you thief.
Nikdit: I know and I'm sorry but now I'm giving them back.
Debbie: What?
T-Shirt: We're giving them back.
Debbie: You mean it's true, you really have left T-Bag.
T-Shirt: Yep.
Debbie: They're all here too, I've got the lot. You know what that means don't you?
T-Shirt: What?
Debbie: We can get rid of T-Bag once and for all, forever!
