"Here's the plan! Tantalus, the infamous band of daring thieves
(that's us) is headin' to the Kingdom of Alexandria... Our
mission: to kidnap the heir to the throne, Princess Garnet!"

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Tonight's performance is a story that
takes place long, long ago. Our heroine, Princess Cornelia, is
torn from her lover, Marcus. She attempts to flee the castle,
only to be captured by her father, King Leo. When our story
begins, Marcus, having heard of this, crosses swords with the
king. And now, Your Royal Majesty, Queen Brahne, Your Highness,
Princess Garnet... ...noble ladies and lords, and our rooftop
viewers, Tantalus proudly presents 'I Want to Be Your Canary'!"

"Why, my poor Marcus! Hark, lad. No matter how much thou
dost treasure Cornelia... ...no matter how deeply she might
believe she doth love thee... ...never shall I see her marry
a peasant such as thee! When yon bell strikes three... Under
the axe thou shall be!"
