...and Tonberry King and Mandraggy. D'oh!

Tonberry King: "...and zat iz vhere zee term 'Everybody's Rancor' originated. Now for my next... Hm? Vhere in zee vorld are ve!?"
Mandraggy: "It be looking like dark caves with lots of wooden contraptions."
Ooh, another mystery solved by famous detective Mandrack Holmes.
???: "Well, fiddlesticks! I've gone and done it again.
I guess I can't be a powerful and beautiful mage."
"So, this is zee land, I mean, the land of the Goblins?"
???: "Yes. Welcome to the subterranean Goblin city of Movalpolos."
"Moronopoly?"
???: "Movalpolos."
"Mortalcombolos?"
???: "Mo-val-po-los."
"Mor-bol-po-lice."
Mandraggy: "I'm not caring about name of crazy caves. Now someone be telling me how we getting here and how we be getting home. And who is crazy Gob holding funny yellow sticks?"

Yeah, who is this strange character? The face looks awfully familiar, but I can't put my finger on it... Who does she remind me of...?



???: "My full name is too difficult for you upworlders to pronounce,
but you can call me Moblina--the most beautiful mage in Movalpolos."
Mandraggy: "Goblin is girl!?"
Tonberry King: "Zose round eyez... Zose floppy earz...
She is zee most beautiful Goblin in zee vorld..."
Mandraggy: "Ummm... Absolutely, your majesty!
(What's he talking about? She looking exactly like Fab.)"

"Okay, Moblina. Maybe you can tell me why you brought us here."
Moblina: "Next to my beauty, you're the talk of all Movalpolos, Fab.
There's a line of people just waiting to meet you and hear about your travels.
That's why I've been following you for the past four episodes."

A stalker!?



Mandraggy: "Well, that's being all great and happy, but it's having nothing to do with me. Now be sending me back to my home in Elshimo Jungles. I be missing my favorite linkshell programs."
Moblina: "Keep your mouth shut, sprout, or I'll have you sliced up and thrown into tonight's Goblin mushpot!"

Whoa... She took the words right out of my mouth.

Mandraggy: "What are you meaning, 'sprout'? Why is it that everyone calling me sprout? Funny Goblin calling me sprout. Annoying crab calling me sprout. Strange, ugly mystery girl calling me sprout... I'm not a sprout! I'm a Mand-"


Tonberry King"I thought I told you to keep qviet!"
SLICE!

Actually, I don't think he did, but you won't hear me complaining.

Moblina: "Um, yeah. Okay... Now let us continue our tour of the city."
Tonberry King: "Ha ha! Lead zee vay, my lovely princess."

Is it just me, or does Our Highness have a royal crush on Moblina?


Hey, this looks like some sort of pond...
Moblina: "This is where we Goblins like to come fish. Fishing is one of our favorite pastimes. There are even some Goblins who fish for a living. Have you ever heard of them, Fab?"
Tonberry King: "Ooh, ooh! I know of zeese Goblinz. I know! Zey are called Goblin Fisherz! Am I right, my darlink?"
Moblina: "Umm...yes. That's right. Fab, have you heard of them?"
"Hmmm... I don’t know. I might have. I meet a lot of people on the road. I can't remember everything I see."
Moblina: "Well, you haven't forgotten my name, have you?"
Tonberry King: "I know! I know!"
"Hmmm... I don't know. I might have. I meet a lot of people on the road. I can't remember everything I see."
Moblina: "Tee hee hee. You're so funny, Fab."


Tonberry King (whispering): "I can see zhat zee Goblin girl likes you. However, as zee Kink of Uggalepih, I demand zhat you give her to me!"
"No way, Kink! I've finally met somebody normal, and there's no way I'm letting a conniving frog like you near her!"
Tonberry King: "Frok!? You know vhat ve do to zose who make a mockery of zee king's name!?"
Moblina: "What are you two whispering about?"
Tonberry King: "Vhy, nothink, my dear Moblina. (You had better vatch yourself, Goblin-boy, or you vill end up like your crabby friend.)"
"Stab me all you like, but don't forget this is the land of the Goblins. Lay a finger on me and my brothers and aunts and cousins and nephews will be all over your green tail."
Tonberry King: "You nasty little... I vill get you, Goblin-boy. You just vait..."
Yeah, take a number.


Whoa, that looks pretty heavy. I wonder what's inside...
Moblina: "That box weighs over five thousand ponzes.
But with our Goblin technology, it can be lifted with ease."
"Goblins made that? Wow, we must be pretty smart. I don't remember seeing any of those box-moving machines in the Temple of Uggalepih..."
Tonberry King: "..."
Moblina: "Tee hee hee. Fab, you're so cute. Almost as cute as me."
"Heh heh. Tell me more."


And so we gazed into each other's obsidian eyes--oblivious to the monotonous churning of the surrounding machinery, oblivious to the cold wind that blew through the lonely tunnels, oblivious to the knife-wielding Tonberry slowly approaching...
