Sea Boils Earth Trembles

The desk rolls alarmingly, thanks to fancy footwork.

Crash! Boom! cries Terence.

Splash! cries Baby Pierre.

Yes! cries Terence. 

Arthur falls overboard again, followed by Sweezus and David.

Arthur starts swimming over the grass, towards the darkness.

Sweezus and David cling to a cardboard plank and follow Arthur towards Lisbon.

We know it is Lisbon, because there is a sign on the grass, with an arrow, pointing to Lisbon.

Gaius walks out stealthily in his black cloak, upturns the desk, and reverses the arrow.

Now the arrow points to the upturned desk, which represents Lisbon.

Arthur swims back across the grass and scrambles up onto Lisbon. He looks about him. And runs off.

Sweezus and David float to shore on the cardboard.

Alors! Lisbon! says Captain Baudin. The Sailor has run off. Our heroes are trying to make sense of what happened.

All is for the best, says David. 

But not for the poor Anabaptist, says Sweezus.

The sea boils! cries Captain Baudin. The Earth trembles. Whirlwinds of flame and ashes!

Terence runs on. Crash-SMASH! Goodbye thirty thousand people! Watch out for the Needles! 

And the Rubble! cries Baby Pierre!

Yes the Rubble! cries Terence. We don't have any Needles!

Because they got taken off us! cries Baby Pierre.

David kicks him.

Rubble, hisses David.

The audience might be forgiven for feeling confused.
