It's him !Run for it !
- Which way ?- This way. Careful.
We can explain everything, sir.

Wh-Why don't you get outthe way you came ?
Don't try and be smartwith me, you little creep.
Yeah.
If you want to play it smart,I'll introduce you to Vermin.
He eats anything,you know.
I'm not trying to be smart.I'm just trying to help.
- You know, don't you ?- I don't know anything.
You know, and you'renot going to tell us.

We don't know him that well.We only work for Him.
Shut up !Now, are we all here ?
- What ?- Og, are you here ?
- Yeah, he's here.- Vermin ?

- Hey, where are you going ?- Get him ! He'll give us away.
Help ! Help !
Farmers !
Look what you've done, boy.
Sorry.What town is that ?

Come on, boy.You come with us.
No, thanks.

You're going the wrong way.
Napoleon ?
- Get down !- You nearly got us caught !
You silly fool.You could've ruined everything.
- Do you know where we are ?- Shut up. Of course I do.
See ?
Are you sure we're notin somebody's bedroom ?
Look, do you want to beleader of this gang ?
- We agreed no leader.- Right. So shut up and do as I say.
Now, we've got to getinto the city.
We can't.The roads are too dangerous.
I've got an idea.We can use the river.
Come on !
What are wegoing to do here ?
- A robbery.- Shhh.

We're internationalcriminals. We do robberies.
Shut up back there.
Aim ! Fire !

That's him.
You're not gonna rob him ?
Yeah. Every singlepenny he's got.
- But that's Napoleon.- And he's rich.
Monsieur Commander...
I think that the mayor ofCastiglione and his council...
would like very muchto surrender now, please.
Look at that !Look at the little fellow !
With the city, we have the whole areaof western Lombardy at our feet.
Oh, go away !
I never should'vemarried you !
- Oh, stop it !
Yes ! Yes !
Mon Commander,they are very keen to surrender.
They have been hereeight hours.
Don't stand so closeto me, Neguy !
I've told youabout that before.
You on one sideand him on the other--
It's like being on the bottomof a bloody well !
Just becauseyou think I'm small.
No, Commander, you arenot small at all.
No, not by any means.Five-foot-one is not small.
Yeah, five-foot-oneand conqueror of ltaly.

Fun on a unicycle.

He singand lift heavy things.
No. How about, uh--
Come on.
This I think you'll like.
It's very funny.
The Three ldiots...
uh, from Latvia.
It's a very funny act.They swallow brushes.
No, no !They're all freaks !
Not one of themunder five-foot-six.
What kind of theaterare you running, huh ?
I'm sorry, sir, but--
No, no.More of the funny show,
the little puppetshitting each other.
That's what I like !Little things hitting each other !
Come on.
Psst.
- Huh ?- Play something like this.
Tsk. Hmm.
# Like the wallpapersticks to the wall #
# Like the seashoresticks to the sea #
# Like you neverget rid of your shadow #
# Boy, you didn'tget rid of me #
# Me #
# And my shadow #
# Strolling down the avenue #
# Avenue, avenue, avenue #
# Me #
# And my shadow #
- # Not a soul to tell our troubles to #- Please let go !
- # We stick together like glue #
# And when it's 12:00 #
# We climb the stair #
# We never, never knock #
# 'Cause nobody's there-- #
# Me and my shadow #
# Feeling blue ##
Well, what do you think ?
Marvelous show.
Young man, you stick with these boys,you have a great future.
You know, you arethe best thing...
to happen to mesince this whole campaign.
You know, I cometo conquer ltaly...

I heard they wasreally tiny guys.
Sir, I really think thereare more important things--
Shut up !
Don't you dare to tell memy business.
You are dismissed, you hear ?You, Lucien, the rest of you.
Great streaks of misery.
- But sir--- No !
I'm going to havesome new generals for a bit.
Alexander the Great...
five feet exactly.
Isn't that incredible ?
Alexander the Great, whose empirestretched from lndia to Hungary--
One inch shorter than me.
Oliver Cromwell...
the only man with any gutsin British history--
Not a big man at all.
Louis IV, 5' 21/2".
Charlemagne...
a dumpy little five-footer.
- Squatty little chap.
Attila the Hun, 5' 11/2".
Cyrano de Bergerac,5' 31/2".
Tamburlaine the Great,four-foot-nine...
and three quarters.
Wasn't he interesting ?
Strutter, wake up.Wake up.
According to this map, there's a timehole outside. See if you can find it.
- Right.- The rest of you, the holedisappears at 12:00, right ?
So let's get moving.
Vermin, Fidgit,the tapestry.

Ten-hut !
About turn !
- Stop !- Go !
Thieves !After them !
- Follow them !
Oh, Sir Vincent,you came for me !
Oh, Good Mistress Pansy,I could not have ridden faster.
Four horses have I exhaustedthis day from Nottingham.
Oh, the way you leapt to my chamber,so full of... manliness.
I could scarce restrainthe rushing of my feet.
These 12 long years have beenlike chains that bound me.
Oh. And the personalproblem ?
- Much, much better.- Ohhh.
And now we will ride full tilt to Dover,and there embark for France.
Oh, you don't haveto wear the special--
No, no, I don't have to wearthe special-- anymore.
Oh, Pansy.No more worries now, Pansy.
- Oh.- Oh.
- No. No.
- Hey !
- Quick ! Quick !- We did it !
- Your problem, Vincent.- Forget the problem. Get me the money.
- We did it ! We did it !
I told you. You stick with me,and you won't go far wrong.
Sometimes I almostbelieve you, Randall.
- Hey, where are we ?- Where are we ?
Why, it's obvious.We're, um--
Vincent, don'tworry about a thing.
I'm not worrying.
- Exactly--- In the Middle Ages.
Hmm... inthe Middle Ages.
Five-hundred years before the manwe just robbed was even born.
- Fantastic !- Try that one in a court of law.
Vermin, that is notmeant to be eaten.
You never knowuntil you've eaten it.
Is it always like thiswhen you've done a raid ?
I don't know.We've never done one before.
But I thought you wereinternational criminals.
Going to be.Going to be.
Yeah, going to be.Aren't we ? Going to be ?
Especially nowthat we've got you, Kevin.
Hang on. He's just a kid.He's not one of us.
He knows an awful lot.
Yeah, and he's biggerthan any of us.
- Do you really want to join us ?- Can we really go anywhere ?
You name it.If it's down here.
I don't understand.What's so special about that map ?
This map used to belongto the Supreme Being.
- You stole it ?- No. Well, sort of.
He used to be our employer.He made all the big stuff,
Iike good and evil,men and women, night and day.
And when He did trees and shrubs,we helped make all this.
Whew, that's not bad.
Yeah, and did we get a thimblefull of credit for it ?
No, all we got was the sack,just for creating the Pink Bunkadoo.
- Pink Bunkadoo ?- Yeah. Beautiful tree that was.
- Og designed it, didn't you ? Yeah.
Six-hundred feet high,bright red and smelled terrible.
As a disciplinary measure, we weresent down to the repairs department.
- What ?
You see, to be quite frank, the fabricof the universe is far from perfect.
It was a bit of a botched job.We only had seven days to make it.
And that's where this comes in.This is the only map of all the holes.
Well, why repair them ?Why not use them to get stinkin' rich ?
Yeah, stinkin' rich !
- Lads, here's to stinkin' rich !
Stinkin' rich.Stinkin' rich.
- And to Kevin !- Yeah, Kevin !
- Here's to Kevin !- Stinkin' Kevin !
Hey, hold it there.
- Smile.
- Hey, the map.- Yeah, the map. Don't forget the map.
Hey, come on ! Smile !
Help ! Robbers !
- Hey, that's us !- Someone's in trouble. Come on !
Grab the loot.
- It's a bit tight.
- Now, those are our sort of people.- Yeah !
Vincent ! Oh !Oh, dear !
- Help !- Come on.
Oh, Vincent,someone's coming.
- Help ! Help I say !
Oh, at last.Oh, I say !
I say, my fiance and I would appreciatea bit of assistance.
- Oh, no ! The problem, Pansy !- Oh ! Oh !
- It's started again ! Oh ! Oh !- Oh, don't worry, darling.
- I say !- I must have fruit !
- Where are we ?- We've lost them.
Come on.Don't be so wet.
- Hey !
What do we do now,Randall ?
Just leave this to me, Wally.We've just got to treat them right.
What do you want,you tatty-faced old scumbag ?
- What's your business, gob face ?- We're robbers !
- Villainous robbers ?- The worst.
- Stop at nothing ?- Nothing at all.
- Steal a cup outta a beggar's hands ?- Rather.
- The teeth from blind old ladies ?- Of course.
- Toys from children ?- Whenever we can.
Right.Let 'em down !
They always crackin the end.
Wow.
Listen, I've got a few ideasfor, uh, a linkup...
between your gangand our gang,
but I only wantto talk to the boss.
The boss ?
- The boss ?- That's right.
They serious ?
Ohhh.
All right ! Do it !
Anyone else wanna go ?
Come on, you weasels.
What's this ?
Lose yourself, leprechaun.
Move yourself, lad.
- That's disgusting !- Wait here ! I'll get him !
Hello. I-I'm Hood.
- It's Robin Hood.- Yeah.
- Say good morning, you scum.
Good morning, scum.
- Good morning.You're all robbers, then ?- The best, Mr. Hood.
Jolly good.And you're a robber, are you ?
Jolly good.
And do you enjoyrobbing, then ?
Well, it helpspay the rent, sir.
Jolly good.
And you're a robber too ?How long have you been a robber ?
- Four-foot-one.- Good Lord !
- Jolly good. Four-foot-one ?- Yes.
Well, th-th-th-that isa long time, isn't it ?
Well now, I hear you've madea pretty good haul.
Well, see for yourself, sir.
Gosh ! I say !
Crikey ! I mean,I've been in robbing for years,
but I've never seenanything like this.
Crumbs ! And you acquiredall of this by yourselves ?
Well, it was a good day,Mr. Hood.
- Jolly good day !- It's nice, isn't it ?
Rather ! Well, I mean,what can I say ? Thank you.
Thank you allvery, very much indeed.
Oh, don't ment-- What ?
Well, I mean,it's frightfully kind of you.
The poor are going to beabsolutely thrilled.
- Have you met them ?- Who ? The poor ?
Oh, you must meet them.I just know you'll like them.
Of course, they haven'tgot two pennies to rub together.
- But that's because they're poor.
Uh, Marion, would you be so kindas to ask the poor to come in, please ?
- No problem.- Thank you so much.
- Right. Come on, you lot.- Let's just see what we've got.
This is going to beso much help in our work.
No, you don't understand.All this stuff is ours. We stole it.
Oh, yes, I know, and believe you me thepoor are going to be not just thrilled,
but also considerably less poor,aren't they, Redgrave ?
- You see ? What did he say ?
- He said, "Yeah, what withChristmas coming up and all."- Ah, jolly good.
Yes, well, there we are.Congratulations. Well done.
There we are. Well done.Congratulations.
Is that-- Is thatabsolutely necessary ?
- What did he say ?
- He says, yeah, he's afraid it is.- Ah, fine. Fine.
There we are, madam.Congratulations.
- Congratulations. Jolly good.- Thank you.
Incidentally, would any of you liketo stay on and help us with our work ?
There's still so much wealthto redistribute.
Oh, I'd like to stay.
Jolly good.What's your name ?
- Uh, Ke--- Ke-- What a jolly nice name.
- Let me go.- Well, never mind.
- Cheerio. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very, very,very, very much.
Awful people.
- This can't wait !- I'll never get a chanceto meet Robin Hood again.
- Any chance of a rescue ?- Stop moaning !
He's obviously a dangerous man.Unbalanced, if you ask me.
Giving awaywhat isn't even his !
That's what Robin Hoodalways did. Even I know that.
- Oh, of course. You know it all.- He was one of my heroes.
Heroes ! Heroes !What do they know about a day's work ?
- Leave him alone, Randall !- Well, it makes me sick.
Anyone who's always rightmakes me sick.
- That's why you get on with yourself !- Watch it !
- Big mouth !- Horseflesh wouldn'thave got us into this.
- Horseflesh is dead.- Then give me the map.I'm taking over !
Get off me ! Get--
So... these arethe sort of people...
the Supreme Beingallows to steal His map ?
Look at them.Stunted little proles.
I wouldn't entrust themto wipe their own noses.
Oh, no, sir. It's muchtoo difficult for them.
What sort of supreme beingcreated such riffraff ?
Is it not the workingsof a complete incompetent ?
But He created you,Evil One.
What did you say ?
Well, He created you,so He can't be totally--
Never talk to melike that again !
No one created me !I am Evil !
Evil existedlong before good.
I made myself.I cannot be unmade.
I am all-powerful !
Yeah.
But why,if that's the case,
are you unable to escapefrom this fortress ?
That's a good question.
Why have I let the Supreme Beingkeep me here...
in the Fortressof Ultimate Darkness ?
- Because you--- Oh, shut up.I'm speaking rhetorically.
- Of course.- I let Him keep me here...
in order to lull Himinto a false sense of security.
Ah, clever, clever.
When I have the map,I will be free...
and the world will be differentbecause I have understanding.
- Uh, understanding of what, master ?- Of digital watches.
Soon I shall have understanding of videocassette recorders and car telephones.
And when I have understanding of them,I shall have understanding of computers.
And when I have understanding ofcomputers, I shall be the Supreme Being.
God isn't interestedin technology.
He knows nothing of the potential of themicro-chip or the silicon revolution.
Look how He spends His time.Forty-three species of parrots !
- Nipples for men !- Slugs.
Slugs ! He created slugs.
They can't hear. They can't speak.They can't operate machinery.
Are we not in the handsof a lunatic ?
Sir... Iook !
If I were creating a world,I wouldn't mess aboutwith butterflies and daffodils.
I would have startedwith lasers, 8:00 day one.
- Sorry.
I just can't wait for a new tech--techno-- technological dawn.
Sir... Iook !
What is it, Benson ?
The map, sir. The map !They've brought it with them !
- What ?- I saw the map, master, just now.
- Are you sure ?- I'm sure, master.
Down there !The little one has it.
The little one ?
This is our chance.This is what we've been waiting for !
- It will set us free.- Shut up !
If you're wrong, Benson,my revenge will be slow and unpleasant.
I will turn you inside outover a very long period of time.
Oh, thank you, master.Thank you.
Now we must bait the hook,see if they bite...
and pull them in.
Stand by for mind control.
What about Babylon ?
- Who ?- It's a city of legendary wealth.
Ahh.
I've got a better idea.
Who said that ?
I've got an ideaforming in my head.
You haven't had an ideafor thousands of years.
There is a place where we could findthe greatest thing man could want,
the goal of everybody'shopes and dreams.
What the hellare you talking about ?
The most fabulousobject in the world.
- That sounds like a good idea.- Yeah.
They're hooked,the greedy little fish.
- Why do you alwayshave to go after money ?- Who's this ?
I don't know, master.I haven't seen him before.
He's stronger than the rest.Who is he ?
- I don't know.- I'm losing them.
Something's going on down there.We've lost them !
Randall, look, over there !
- We'd better move !- Don't rush me.
The forest !It's on fire !
It's raining,pudding head !
- Oh, no !- What is it ?
- It's Him !- It's Him !
Return the map.
- Make for the hole !- Where is it ?
It's over there.Quick ! Come on !
- Stop ! Return !- Hurry up !
Return what youhave stolen from me.
Return the map !
There are two holes, Randall.Which one ? Which one ?
Go, Kevin !Just get away !
Go ! Not that one !
Where did youcome from ? Huh ?
I'm not quite sure.
Who sent you ?The gods ?
Was it Zeus ?Apollo ?
Athena ?
Well, you're certainly a chattylittle fellow, aren't you ?
I don't believe it !
You don't believe what ?
I don't believethe way you killed him.
Yes. But ithas to be done sometimes.
No. I mean it wassuch a good shot.
I bet you've killedlots of people.
Well, the gods musthave given you a name.
Oh, yeah. Kevin.
Kevin ?
Well, Kevin,here, it's yours.
- What ?- You don't want it ?
Oh, yes, please.You mean I can really have it ?
Well, on condition that youcarry it back to the city for me.
Oh, great. But no,I can't really.
I must wait. You see,I'm with friends.
You see, if I lose them,I may never be able to get back.
- Get back ? To where ?
I'm not really sure.
Here, you better take this.You'll need it. It's water.
There's enough there for your friends,too, if they ever turn up.
Oh, and by the way,thank you.
No. Please.I'd like to come, really.
No, no, please.I'd like to come.
Better ? No.
You saved my life.Remember ?
The enemy of the peopleis dead !
Hail King Agamemnon !
There's a man beingcut in half here.
It must have been a brilliant battle.Choo ! Choo !
All three are to receivesummary executions today.
If the queen wishes to see me,I'll be in the courts all afternoon.
Remind the queen thatI still rule this city.
I wish I'd beenin the Trojan Wars.
Will you teach mehow to sword fight ?
Come here. I'll teach yousomething much more useful.
- Where is it ?- There.
That one.
Kings aren't supposedto do things like that.
You know, I never, everwant to go back.
Don't you want to seeall your friends again ?
No, thanks.
To be in your own home, to bewith your own father and mother ?
No.
Very well, then.
- I can stay ?- We'll decide that tomorrow.
I have decreed that this boyshall remain here with us in our city.
Furthermore, he shallfrom this day forward be my own son...
and heir to the throneof Mycenae.
Let the banquet begin.
And now, ladies and gentlemen,

- You're supposed to drink it.- I like that. It's very nice.
Oh.
Six more platesof caviar, please.
Anyone else want any ?
No, none for me, thank you.I'll stick with the quail's eyeballs.
The caviar makes me throw up,you know.
- Waiter.- Sorry, Randall. Sorry.
Cheer up, Kevin. Kings aren'tthe only ones with money, you know.
The money wasn't importantto him.
He didn't have anythingto spend it on, did he ?
Stuck out in Greece-- Ioweststandard of living in Europe.
- You make me sick !
What ?Things are looking better all the time.
- I've got something to say to you.- Go away !
- It's about the map.
The map ?I don't understand you, Randall.
You've got somethingreally brilliant like that,
- and you're just wasting it.
I wouldn't call this exactly...wasting it.
Why couldn't you leave mewhere I was happy ?
Because when you hearwhat I've got planned,
- you're gonna be a lot happier.
I was havin' a close look at the maplast night. Do you know what I found ?
Og was right.The most fabulous object in the world.
It does exist.
Look.
- The time of legends--- The time of legends !There's no such thing.
But there is.You just gotta believe in it.
Otherwise, Horsefleshwouldn't have put it on the map.
"In the middle of the time of legendsis a fortress of ultimate darkness,
and inside the fortressof ultimate darkness,
the most fabulous objectin the world."
Give it up, Randall.
- Look.
- You and me-- we got a lot in common.
- Not like that Og.
We like a risk.
- We like adventure.
Well, this is it.
This is the big one.
No namby-pambytime holes here.
We risk all.We win everything.
Waiter, more champagne.
Yes, sir.
And plenty of ice.
Hello !
I want to go home !I can't stand it !
You'll get us all killed,Randall !
Stop whimpering, Fidgit !
How could I know we were gonnarun slap-bang into an iceberg ?
It didn't say "Get off beforethe iceberg" on the ticket.
Now-- Now is the time...
to star-- to start our quest for the--for the most fabulous object, Randall.
- Og's right ! I've got the map.- No !
- Let's go !- What ?
Randall, we are in the middleof the Atlantic Ocean !
It doesn't matter where we are.You just gotta believe in it !
You're crazy !

I can't swim !I can't swim !
Help ! Help !
- Don't worry, Fidgit ! I'm coming !- Help !

Suddenly, I feel...very, very good.
- I'm sorry, master.- It'll pass. It'll pass.
- Shall I bring them in, master ?- Yes, Benson.
- Bring them into the time of legends.
Hey !Hey, I can swim !

No. It's your nerves, dear.
Here we are, darling.
Come on.
- And the ointment for the leg.
I grew too fastwhen I was young.
- That was the problem.- You've been overdoing it a bit, dear.
You try being beastly and terrifyingwhen you--
you can only get one hour's sleepa night because your back hurts,
and you daren't coughin case you pull a muscle.
But you are horrible, dear.
You're just sayin' that.
And gargle.

Ah, you meaneat their boots ?

Every little bit.
That means the big potand the large skewers.
- What shall I do, dear ?
Terrify them.
Oh, but what about me back ?
Well, you don't haveto jump around.
Just shout horribly...
and leer at them.
You know,the way you used to.
- Right.

- Yes ! To that side ! Quick !- We're saved !
Catch all ! Come on !
- Hold on !- Hold on tight, Wally !
How're we doing now, Randall ?

As long as this wind keeps up,nothing can go wrong.

All hands on the tiller !
- Quick ! Drop the sail !- All right ! Leave it to me !
One !
How about it ? Eh ?

Let's go back !We'll all die out here !
- Yeah !- You can't give up now.
- When can we give up ?- Come on. It's just a big further--
What is it ?
I don't know,but it hurts.
It's some kindof invisible barrier.
Oh ! So that's whatan invisible barrier looks like.
It's what this linemust be.
And just on the other side,
the Fortressof Ultimate Darkness.
We've made it, lads !We're here !
You're mad, Randall !
Your brain's gone.Do you know that ?
I promise you,this is it !
We are here !
- We're nowhere, Randall !- Yeah !

- But Evil's got the map, Randall !- Oh, damn right, yes.
Last thing we want to dois see him again. Come on.
But you can't leave it with him,or he'll destroy the world !
Oh, Robert, Benson,
I feel the power of evilcoursing through my veins,
filling every corner of my beingwith the desire to do wrong.
- I feel so bad, Benson.- Good ! Good !
Yes, it is good, for this is the worstkind of badness that I'm feeling.
- Kill me, master ! Kill me !- Not now, Benson. We have work to do.
No less a work than the overthrowingof creation itself.
We will remake manin our image, not His.
We will turn mountainsinto sea,
and the skies into rivers,and fjords into deserts.
- Come on ! Come on !- And deserts into quagmires.
The boy's insane.We can't go in there.
Shh !
Oh !
- Let me see !- And icebergs into fire !
And the fire into a mightyrushing wind which will coverthe face of the earth...
and wipe clean the scourge of woollythinking once and for all.
We can make beansinto peas !
Oh, Benson.
Dear Benson, you are so mercifully freeof the ravages of intelligence.
- You say... such nice things, master.- Yes, I know. I'm sorry.
Now, Benson, I shall have to turn youinto a dog for a while.
Thank you, master.
Stay, Benson.Guard the map.
Robert, we must plana new world together.
This timewe'll start it properly.
Tell me about computers.
Uh, a computeris an automatic electronic apparatus...
for making calculations.
Or controlling operations...
- that are expressible...
in numericalor logical terms.
And fast breeder reactors ?
Ah, fast breeder reactors...
use a fast fission process...
for the generationof fissile isotopes.
- Be quiet, Benson !
Show me more, Robert.
Show me--
Show me...subscriber trunk dialing.
I must know everything.
Come on ! Throw !
Throw it !
Stop !
Come on ! Oh, no!
- Let's get out of here !
- Come on !
Stop them by every meansin my power !
It's coming this way !Run for it !
I'm coming !I'm coming !
We're trapped.
- We've got to separate.- What ?
Go down the time hole.Go wherever you can and get help.
- I'll divert them.- But you can't do it on your own.
No. I'll take one other.
- Well done, Og.
Yes. Og and me'll stay.Ready ?
- Hey ! Hey ! This way !
You are a very troublesomelittle fellow.
I think I should teach youone of my special lessons.
What do you think, Robert ?
Benson, what would look nice ?
Half donkey ?
Half warthog ?Half oyster ?
Half carrot ?
- Or the diseased left tonsil-
Call off those, those creatures,or I'll destroy the map forever.
- Don't, don't be so stupid.- Call them off !
Very well.I have no need of them.
- Robert.- Yes, master ?
Your time has come.
Oh, wonderful, master ! Wonderful !
- Wonderful !- Don't mention it.
Benson.
I'm a reasonable man.
Give me the map,
and you might at least walk outof here on human feet.
- Og !
No !
- No !
No !
This way, men.Over there.
- Wally !
- Where's the trouble, sonny ?- Down there !
Aha !
So... this is the best...
the Supreme Being can do.
I guess we'll havea lynchin', eh ? Yippee !
- Wait !
Got him !
- See, sonny ? No problem.
Wait a minute !Wait !
Wait a minute !Oh ! Oh ! Hey !
Hold on ! Hey ! Hey !
- Let me go !- I don't feel so good !
Fire !
Charge !
Strutter ! Quick !
Strutter !
Next !
Get him !
Randall, go !
Go !
- I can't control it !- Of course you can't, you silly man.
I control them !
Hurry ! Help me !
Get me down !
Stay where you are !Something's happening !
Get out of the way, Fidgit !
Get out of the way !
- Fidgit !- Hey ! Hey, Fidgit !
Fidgit !
Quick ! Push it off him !Push it off. Quick.
- He's dead.- What ?
Fidgit's dead.
Oh, no. I'm sorry.
- It wasn't your fault, Wally.- It was, it was his fault.
- Get down, Wally !- Get down !
- Wally ! Get down, Wally !- Evil !
- Come on back !
Evil !He killed my friend !
I'll kill him !Get off me !
Get down !
- I'll kill him !
Huh ?
- Oh, no !- He's found us !
Quick ! Ron for it !
Oh ! I hatehaving to appear like that.
Really,it's the most tiresome way.
Noisy manifestation.
Still, rather expectedof one, I suppose.
Get down ! Get down !
O Great One !O Supreme Being !
O Creator of all the universe,
without whom we would be naughtbut scarab beetles on the--
What a dreadful mess !Is the pig with you ?
Right.Well, we'll sort him out first.
- Og !
- Og, here ! Quick ! Out of the way !- I was enjoying that.
One thing I can't stand,it's mess.
I want all this stuffpicked up.
Yes, sir.Anything you say.
- Anything you say, sir.- Wally, tidy up !
But, but he's dead, Randall.
Fidgit, Fidgit's dead.
Dead ?No excuse for laying off work.
- Fidgit.- Fidgit.
- Fidgit ?
- What happened ?- I'm sorry I killed you, Fidgit.
He's okay !He's okay !
Oh, do hurry up.
- Oh, yes, sir.- Yes, sir.
I'd like to explain everything.
We didn't mean to steal the map.We didn't mean to run away--
What do you mean, you didn'tmean to steal the map ?
- It, it just sort of--- Of course you didn't mean to steal it.
I gave it to you.You silly man. And that.
- Do you really think I didn't know ?- Sir ?
I had to have some wayof testing my handiwork.
I think it turned outrather well.
- Don't you ?- Hmm ?
Evil turned out rather well.Mm-hmm.
Whose are these ?
Mine, sir.
They're mine, sir.
You really are an untidy boy.
Sign... here.
Do you mean you knewwhat was happening to us all the time ?
Well, of course.I am the Supreme Being.
- I'm not entirely dim.- Oh, no, sir.
We're not suggesting that, sir.It's just--
That I let you borrowmy map.
Now I want every bit of Evil...
placed in here.
- Right away.- Of course, sir.
Come on.
You mean you let all those people die,just to test your creation ?
Yes.You really are a clever boy.
Why did they have to die ?
You might as well say,"Why do we have to have evil ?"
Oh, we wouldn't dream of askinga question like that, sir.
Yes. Why do we haveto have evil ?
Ah.
- I think it's somethingto do with freewill.
Do be careful.
You weren't watching.
Don't lose any of that stuff.That's concentrated evil.
One drop of that could turnyou all into hermit crabs.
I'm sorry, sir.
I, I was just wonderingif there's, um,
any chance we mighthave our old jobs back, sir.
- Oh, you certainly wereappallingly bad robbers.- Yes, sir.
I really should do somethingvery extrovert and vengeful with you.
Honestly, I'm too tired.
But I think I'll just transfer youto the undergrowth department--
yes, bracken, small shrubs--that sort of thing--
with a 19%%% cut in salarybackdated to the beginning of time.
- Thank you, sir.- Oh, thank you, sir.
Well, I am the nice one.
Is it all ready ? Right !
Come on, then.Back to creation.
- I mustn't waste any more time.- Bye, Kevin.
They'll think I've lost controlagain and put it all down to evolution.
- Come on.- Sir ?
- Yes ?- What about my friend, sir ?Can he come with us ?
No, of course not.This isn't a school outing.
But, sir,he deserves something.
- I mean, without him--- Oh, don't go on about it.
- He's got to stay hereto carry on the fight.- Fidgit !
Come on. Fidgit !
Hey ! You can't go !
- Hey, you can't leave me !- Fidgit !
- Fidgit, come on !- Wait, please !
- Come on, Fidgit !- Hey ! Stop !
Hey !Hey ! Don't leave me !
Hey ! Help ! Stop !
Don't go ! Help ! Don't leave me !
Hey ! Don't go ! Stop !
- Don't leave me ! Please ! Wait !
Don't leave me ! Please !
Come on ! Come on !
Let's go !
- Let go ! I've got to save it !- Don't be a fool, Diane !
- I'm going in for the toaster !- No ! No !
- Oh, Trevor !- Me super deluxe steamer !
Oh !
- You all right ?- Yeah.
I think so.
You're a very lucky boy.
Honestly, Trevor.If you'd been half a man,
you'd have gone in thereafter the blender.
- This is what started it.- Eh ?
Left the Sunday jointcookin' all night, didn't we ?
Sunday joint ?It's Thursday.
I never touched it !
Well, someone put it on.
Well, there was no meatin there last night.
Oh ! Well, what do youcall this then ?
Mom ! Dad !
It's Evil !
Don't touch it !
Mom ?
Dad ?
