§ Schala's visit  Man: Elder! Schala is here! Melchior: What? Schala's here? Elder: Miss Schala... Why have you come to such a miserable place? Schala: Stop degenerating yourselves! We Enlighted Ones were once the same as you. The only difference is that we are under Lavos's control... Janus: What a filthy hovel. Schala: Melchior.... After the Mountain of Woe fell, I thought I would find you here! Melchior: Is it safe for you to leave the palace? Schala: That no longer matters. The Ocean Palace is now operational! Melchior: Then all is lost! Schala: But without me, the Mammon Machine won't work. I have turned my back against that evil device! I've kept the Skyway open. Hurry! You must stop... my mother! ( ): Why don't we keep it right there... Schala: Dalton! Dalton: Tisk, tisk, tisk my dear. Your presence is required elsewhere! Melchior: Dalton! Leave her alone! Dalton: Ah! The geezer speaks! Silence, old man! Melchior: Argh! Dalton: (to Schala) You'll come to the Ocean Palace with me. (to Janus) Do anything funny, and Schala's dust. Got it? Janus: Schala! Dalton: The Queen's children all seem to have a problem with authority, don't they? Dalton: Stay back. The life of this woman means nothing to me! Shall we get going, Schala, dear? Your mother awaits! * They disappear Frog: Melchior! Melchior: I'm all right. But we must save Schala, or else... Elder: Impossible! Even though it's coming from YOU, Melchior... Melchior: If the Queen is allowed to fulfill, all life as we know it, is doomed! § back
