    Muriel: Come look what Courage found. What do you suppose it could be?
    Eustace: [takes the slab out of Muriel's hands and takes a look] Well, judging by the markings and the obvious age of the relic, I'd have to say it would be...garbage! [throws the slab out the open window]
    Muriel: Eustace!
    Eustace: [turning on the TV] Garbage! From King Garbage of the Garbage Dynasty. Stupid dog. Always bringing garbage into the house.
    Newsman: But the big story today… million-dollar slab stolen from the Tomb of King Ramses.
    Eustace: Eh? I'm rich! [brings the slab back inside]
    Muriel: But the man said it was stolen, Eustace. We must return it to its rightful place.
    Eustace: He said a million-dollar slab, and that means I get a million dollars! And you know what a million dollars means. [Courage panics as the image of King Ramses on the slab magically vanishes] That's right! New lawn chairs!

    Eustace: What?
    King Ramses: Return the slab or suffer my curse.
    Eustace: What's your offer?
    King Ramses: This night, you will be visited by three plagues, each worse than the last. Return the slab.

    Eustace: [opens the attic window, yelling out to King Ramses] All right, but a million's as low as I'll go!
    [King Ramses raises his arms, unleashing the third and final plague of the image of a locust vanishing on the slab]
    Eustace: [to King Ramses] Ha! That's three plagues! You're out of ammo, mister! [snickers] And don't think you can come around here pushing no tote bags on us neither.
    [Last lines]
    Professor Frith: At last, the allegedly cursed slab has been returned to King Ramses' crypt, where it will remain buried in antiquity for all time. [the TV shows a picture of a pyramid in the desert]

    [Courage and Muriel try to heal Eustace's foot with various painful objects like cactus thorns, lobsters, and a vat of acid, but none of them work]

[summons a lightning bolt throws it down from the heavens, damaging the windmill below while Eustace is doing some repairs on his truck] A goose, a gander, a godly goosey gander, without love, is nothing but a fowl. [sits in his throne] Without love, all of this is but puff and fluff and…stuff. [honks in depression]
    [Courage and Muriel come out of the house and place two flower pots on the porch]
    Muriel: The coming rain should do these flowers good.
    Eustace: [presses the horn on the truck's steering wheel, but doesn't work] Darn horn.
    Muriel: Eustace? It'll be raining any minute now. You should come inside.
    [The goose god gazes at Muriel down below and falls in love with her, then sends a ray of light down from the heavens, sprouting the flower pot]
    Goose God: [romantically] Oh, pure and formless beauty. Oh, light, oh, sky, oh, baby's breath. You have grown solid. You have grown real. You have grown… fat. You have grown real fat, and your name is…
    Eustace: Muriel? Muriel!
    Goose God: Muriel. If letters be in order, let them be in such order as to spell...Muriel.
    Eustace: Muriel! Where's my pliers?
    Goose God: I am filled, full, and dizzy. I am…a stuffed goose. [sighs] If I gaze at her longer, I shall be consumed. Has ever a Goose God gazed upon such unfeathered beauty, immortal flesh? Does a Goose God pursue a mortal woman? Does one who calls the clouds home love one who must floss? Does a Goose God love a Muriel? Eh, I'll give it a shot.
    Courage: One way or another, that goose has got to go.
    Courage: That goose better not try to take Muriel away. [growls] It's true.
    Eustace: [regains consciousness, and sees the goose god taking his truck up to the heavens, proposing it as his queen] My truck!

    Muriel: [weakly] Ah, Courage, you're a dear.
    Eustace: Well, I… If you ain't feeding me, I'm going out to get me something to eat.
    Muriel: It would be lovely if you could bring me a scone from the Sweet Stuff bakery.
    Eustace: [growls in annoyance] Okay.
    Muriel: Courage, could you go along? He always forgets to get the right thing.

    Eustace: You got legs, don't you? Help yourself!
    [Shirley's rain cloud curse on Eustace causes the bed to get all soaking wet while he, Courage, and Muriel are all asleep]
    Eustace: [mumbling while sleeping] There ain't no curse.
    Muriel: [wakes up, seeing the bed getting soaked; disgusted] Eustace!
    Eustace: Huh?
    Muriel: The bed's getting saggy. If you can't do away with this curse, you're gonna have to sleep on the roof.
    [Eustace is now sitting on the roof outside the house]
    Eustace: Bah. Ain't no such thing as curses. [wipes the rain from his glasses] No way, no how. [takes off his glasses and wipes them with a cloth, but is startled by lightning strikes from the cloud, causing his glasses to fly out of his hand and land on the edge of the roof] Hey! My glasses! No! I-I-I can't see! Where?! Where?! [sees a TV antenna] Huh? Muriel? [hallucinates the antenna as a wiry monster, then rubs his eyes] You're not Muriel!

    Professor Frith: What's happened to me isn't important. What's important is what might happen to you and what happened thousands of years ago. The clothing in this sack tells the story. [takes the Mayan princess' clothes out of his sack] This belonged to a Mayan princess a long time ago. The princess loved cookies. Each day, the royal baker would whip up a jar full of cookies for the princess. The cookie jar was brought to the princess by her most trusted royal poohbah. And before he would give the cookies, the greedy poohbah would steal cookies from the jar and sell them for his own profit. One day, the baker caught the poohbah and went to tell the princess, but the poohbah got to her first. The poohbah presented the princess with cookie jars that were only half-full, and said the baker was stealing the missing cookies. The princess was outraged, and ordered the baker to have his mouth sewn shut, his eyebrows plucked, and his body mummified. Most unpleasant. [chuckles] That baker is now a centuries-old mummy. And he's risen. And he's seeking revenge. And he's on his way to this very spot at this very moment.
    Muriel: Why here? Why us?
    Professor Frith: [takes out a scroll from his sack and opens it] Here is an ancient drawing of the princess and the poohbah.

    Eustace: [presses the fly-paper into Muriel's face] Muriel, your face keeps getting in the way! [accidentally rips off her face as it's stuck to the fly-paper] You ruined my good fly-paper!
    Muriel: [faceless; threateningly] Eustace, put my face back where it belongs, or it's cold cuts for dinner! [Eustace rips her face off the fly-paper and places it back on her head upside-down; annoyingly unamused] Oh, you are cheeky. [Eustace turns her face back to its right side up position; then bashes him on the head with a rolling pin]

### Katz Kandy [2.6b]

    Eustace: Stupid water.

    Katz: So good of you to come. I hope you found my jam tasty. [chuckles evilly]
    Muriel: What do you want with us?
    Katz: You see, dear lady and dog, it's been my misfortune to place second year after year in the Nowhere Sweet Stuff Contest. Sad, isn't it?

    Eustace: Gobbledygook.
    Muriel: Sounds like people who love themselves and their money more than anything else aren't welcome here.
    Eustace: Big deal.
    Eustace: [coming across the golden hat] It's beautiful! I'd sure look good wearing that hat. [laughs as he reaches his hand for the golden hat, but Muriel smacks it away] OW!
    Muriel: Can't you read? [points to a sign, reading…] "Do not touch."
    Eustace: Nope. [chuckles and takes the golden hat, ignoring the sign]
    [The cave suddenly starts to rumble and crumble]

Eustace, wearing a towel, walks into the room. He grabs his shirt that was underneath the three shirts Muriel had folded and pulls it out, causing the three shirts to fall to the floor; annoyed] Eustace.
    Eustace: Uh, sorry. You had the pile upside down.
    [As Muriel picks up the three shirts, Eustace takes off his towel and starts to put on his shirt. Muriel starts to fold a shirt]
    Muriel: Arms in, shoulders back, bend over backwards. Arms in, shoulders back, bend over backwards.
    [Eustace starts to button his shirt, but his arms are telekinetically pulled straight down and bended backwards and his back is telekinetically bended backwards. Courage gasps in horror]
    Eustace: Muriel, you folded me clothes too tight. What are you trying to do to me?
    Muriel: I didn't do anything different, just the usual wash and fluff and fold. Must be the new detergent I'm using.
    [Eustace grumbles angrily. He uses his feet to push himself up and walks out while muttering to himself. Courage and Muriel watch on]
    [While Eustace reads his newspaper, Muriel polishes his shoes]
    Muriel: Beautiful. A good shine can make an old woman look young again.
    Eustace: [lowers his newspaper] Ain't nothing gonna make you young again. [puts down his newspaper] So just give me my shoes.
    Muriel: [gets up and gives Eustace his shoes] Here you are, [Eustace takes his shoes from her] crabby.
    Eustace: [puts on his shoes] Eh, who needs them polished anyway? Just gonna get scuffed. Stupid as showering.[Courage is gnawing on an anchor when Eustace's shoes explode] Muriel! What are you trying to do to me? [grabs his leg] Next time you wanna blow up my shoes, take 'em out back!
    Muriel: But I shined them just like always. Maybe they've changed the shoe polish formula.
    [Eustace is standing outside when Muriel comes out with his hat]

    [Courage comes outside sniffing]
    Eustace: Thanks. [takes his hat from Muriel and puts it on his head, but the two chickens that were inside the hat start pecking on Eustace's head. Eustace runs around screaming in pain]
    [Courage and Muriel watch on]
    Muriel: Must be something new they're putting in the steam.
    [Muriel is sitting with Courage on the rocking chair]
    Muriel: Some therapist she is. If only we had someone here who could really help.
    [Courage gets an idea. He runs upstairs]
    [Courage is in the attic, typing on the computer]
    Computer: You want to be a licensed therapist? A twit like you? [Courage types on the keyboard repeatedly] Okay. Don't get testy. I happen to be certified to certify. Just answer these questions and you'll have your license.
    Courage: Mm-hm.
    Computer: One: How do you spell, "our time is up, pay me lots of money?" [Courage types on the keyboard repeatedly] There's no Q in Cincinnati. Twerp. Next question: If Johnny has three apples and Davey has two apples, why don't they just shut up and eat?
    [Courage is unsure on how to answer the question]
    [Courage is in the attic]
    Computer: Congratulations. You are now a fully licensed therapist. [the printer prints out a therapist license, which Courage takes out and looks at. He runs out] Word of advice. Just keep nodding and don't say anything. And so Western civilization crumbles.
