Tricks And Scams/Transcript

Maia: [Opens doors, walks in] Hey, Evin! I didn’t know you were here.

Evin: I came because Haley thought it was a good idea.

Snarock: [Slithers, cracks]

Maia: Did you hear that?

Evin: A rock breaking under your foot? Yes. Now, I’ll be in the Beasts Of The Isles room, so see ya! [Leaves to the Beasts Of The Isles room]

Bookly: [Opens doors, walks in] Hey, Maia.

Jack: Did Evin leave?

Maia: Yep. So, what are you two here for?

Bookly: Looking for readable books.

Jack: (Whispers to Maia) He’s obsessed with books.

Evin: Okay, so, my kind has been here for… about 500 years. Wow, this is great to know. I haven’t learned this much since I was little. Things have changed *super* drastically from my species’ first arrival.

Curator: Your species? Could I have a peek?

Evin: (Screams) [Turns around] That was creepy. Also, are you the curator here?

Curator: Yes. Now, what species are you? My group has been studying every beast species there is. Now, are you a beast, by chance?

Evin: [Looks back] Kinda.

Curator: There is no species that is “kind of” a beast. Are you a beast?

Evin: Fine, yes.

Curator: Well, then. Please follow me, and we’ll have a look further into your species.

Evin: Yes. Yes, that would be nice.

Haley: Hmm… okay, this one looks nice. Wow, so abstract. Whoever made this is magic. (Smacks face) I meant great at art. Everyone here is a witch.

Bookly: But not everyone is magic.

Haley: Books? What are you doing here?

Bookly: Taking a look at my favorite piece. How about you?

Haley: Just looking around, trying to find out some stuff to tell Evin.

Bookly: [Tosses book into Haley’s hands] Try looking in that book.

Haley: *The History Behind Beasts*. Oh, he’d *love* this! Thanks, Books!

Bookly: Don’t mention it. By the way, where is he?

Haley: He said he went to the Beasts Of The Isles room.

Haley: That’s odd. He said he was here.

Evin: (Muffled scream)

Bookly: What was that?

Haley: Sounded like it was from the staff room just over there.

Maia: [Runs on-screen] We just heard a scream. We thought we’d need you guys, and you happened to be here.

Haley: We needed you to come investigate with us. It’s coming from the staff room.

Jack: Sounds like my kind of party. [Kicks staff room door]

Bookly: [Smacks face] We could have just walked in. [Opens door]

Evin: (Scream)

Haley: Evin! What’s happening?

Evin: (Muffled voice)

Bookly: I think he wants us to take the tape off his mouth. [Rips tape off of Evin’s mouth]

Evin: (Gasps) I can talk again! I’m still trapped, however.

Haley: How do we get you out?

Evin: Well, the curator guy trapped me in here when he found out I was a Deceper. Now, I don’t know a whole lot about my kind, so if there’s anything useful, I would *love* to hear it.

Haley: [Pulls out book, flips through pages quickly] Sorry, but this book has nothing with Decepers. I checked the Table Of Contents, and it doesn’t say anything about them.

Curator: [Opens door] What are you doing in the staff room? After all, it’s the *staff* room. And you’re not staff. So, get out.

Jack: Sir, as much as I would, I won’t go without my friend, Evin.

Curator: I said, out. [Casts spells] Now.

Haley: Fine, then. We’ll do this the hard way. Books, give me the book. [Holds out hand]

Bookly: This *is* a tight situation, so here! [Gives book to Haley]

Haley: Thanks, Bookly. [Casts spell, shooting large, thorny vines instantly, breaking ceiling] Maia, Jack, break the cage.

Maia: Time for the ultimate destruction. [Throws large potion]

Evin: [Cage breaks] Oh, thank you, you guys!

Curator: (Weakened) You haven’t seen the last of me.

Haley: Bookly, seal him up.

Bookly: Got it. [Sucks Curator into book]

Evin: Wow. You guys are great with magic! So, Haley. Just a question, how did you do that? [Points to large vines]

Haley: The book can only be used three times to enhance magic. Once it’s been used three times, the whole book is destroyed. Bookly had to use it once, so it has one use left.

Evin: Is there any way to add pages to it?

Haley: [Looks in book] That would explain the message that says you can reuse it by replacing the pages back in the book. Evy, that was really helpful.

Evin: Evy?

Haley: Is it too early for nicknames yet?

Jack: He’s your best friend. I think it’s okay.

Evin: I just didn’t think you would say Evy. That sounds… weird.

Haley: Do you have a suggestion for your nickname?

Evin: Hmm… nope. I guess Evy’s a good nickname.

Maia: Cool. Now, let’s get out of here.

Bookly: I got it covered. [Holds potion up to vines, causing the vines to make a hole that the group walks through]

Haley: Man, that was rough.

Jack: Has there been an episode where it’s *not* rough?

Bookly: Actually, none.

Maia: Well, that’s not that surprising.

Evin: Also, it’s almost time for... the sleepover!

Haley: Oh, right! We *did* plan it yesterday.

Jack: Well, then. It’s time for... The sleepover! [Everyone high fives]
