The Thief and the Cobbler

"[squawks] I'm so hungry I could eat a vegetarian."

"King Nod: [wakes up] What? Oh, yes, Zigzag, if you really think so."

"[to ZigZag] You say you can charm beasts? [laughs; inhales] Throw him, to the alligators!"

"[after being poked with the perching stick] What? What, not the stick now! Ohh!"

"Your bath's ready! The water's getting cold! Princess, he's a cobbler! [to Tack] Keep your eyes on your work, cobbler!"

"Zigzag: O Greatest King of all the Earth, this low-born [uses cane to stop Tack from walking off] cobbler of no worth attacked me in the square today. Shall we take his head away?"

"Oh Phhhhhh-Phido!"

"Who dares enter the camp of the Mighty One-Eye?"

"MY MACHINE!!"

"[screams] You're giving me heart attacks here!"

"So next time you see a shooting star, be proud of who you really are. Do what your heart feels is right, and you too shall become an Arabian Knight."

"[to Yum-Yum] Just like your mother, out here without a veil."

"When to the wall you find your back, a tack, A Tack, A TACK! You have all you need, but it's what you do with what you've got! a tack, A Tack, A TACK!"

"Zigzag: O Great King Nod, have no fear. Zigzag, your grand vizier, is here! King Nod: [wakes up] What, what? [bored] Oh, it's you... Zigzag."

"It's not time to get up. Too early to rise. Too early to open the king's sleepy eyes."

"We'll see who wins at the end of the day... we'll see who ends up grieving! I'll go to the One-Eyes right away! I'M TAKING MY BALLS AND LEAVING!"

"Faster, faster! Take me to your master! One little mistake will suffice! Don't treat me lightly twice! Take me to your master!"

"[dying words] You too, Phido?...man's best friend? For ZigZag then...It is...The End."

"[shouting] ONE-EYES... WIN AGAIN! No one is left alive to warn them! And I shall conquer the Golden City!"

"Tomorrow, you shall ride at the front, sorcerer."

"Princess, perhaps me and my men ought to be staying here."

"[ZigZag whacks him in the rear] AWK! Blast!"

"Is this when we eat? I need to eat, I don't see any food, I'm still hungry here. I think I just lost my appetite."

"[first lines] It is written among the limitless constellations of the celestial heavens, and in the depths of the emerald seas, and upon every grain of sand in the vast deserts that the world which we see is an outward and visible dream of an inward and invisible reality. Once upon a time, there was a golden city. In the center of this golden city, atop the tallest minaret were three gold balls. The ancients had prophesied that if the three golden balls were ever taken away, harmony would yield to discord, and the city would fall to destruction... and death! But the mystics had also foretold that the city might be saved by the simplest soul with the smallest and simplest of things. In the city, there dwelt a lowly shoemaker who was known as Tack the cobbler. [Tack is shown asleep] Also in the city, existed a thief... who shall be nameless. [the Thief is shown sneaking about]"

"[shouts] A CARAVAAAN!"

"A caravan! Food! Drink! Women! Heh heh heh!"

"Ooh, get him, Tack!"

"A tack... a tack! But it's what you do with what you've got!"

"When to the wall you find your back, a tack, A Tack, A TACK! Belief in yourself is what you lack! A tack, A Tack, and never look back!"

"Mighty One-Eye: [shouting] ONE-EYES... WIN AGAIN! And I shall conquer the Golden City!"

"[King Nod beats up ZigZag in a panic] Just a night fear! Such things could never happen here! Such things would never happen... Well, they haven't happened yet. Can't you see the golden balls are safe atop the minaret?"

"[repeated line] Oh, great King Nod, have no fear! Zigzag, your grand vizier, is here!"

"[Whispering to himself while hearing the Golden Balls bounce out of control] Is this opportunity ringing? [whispers to his minions] I think there are some balls you should be bringing. [King Nod turns; they smile innocently at him. Whispers once more to his minions:] Get those balls. Keep out of sight. Bring them to me, late tonight."

"[After Tack steps between him and Yum-Yum] What, cobbler?! [attacks Tack]"

"The camp of the One-Eyes... how very nice! Perhaps they'll be willing to pay my price! I'll have those barbarians kissing my feet! [to Phido who squawks begging for food] And maybe, we'll find you something to eat... eh, Phido? [The One-Eye's soldiers appear, putting their spears at his throat] Gentlemen, gentlemen, what a delight to meet you all here on such a fine night."

"My friends! It grieves me to see you fed on persons like me, with no meat. Just help me a little, and I won't forget to feed you each day, a surprise that is plump, portly, paunchy, and FAT! FAT! FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!"

"My friends, my friends! Are you still here? I haven't fed you yet, I fear."

"[as he is being eaten by alligators] Oh, my bottom! Ow, my top! Greedies, don't you ever stop?"

"ONE-EYES... ATTACK!"

"[shouting] ONE-EYES... ONE-EYES... ONE-EYES WIN AGAIN! I shall gnaw the Golden City to the bone! [bites off a piece of ham] And I shall spit it out! [spits out the piece of ham] No one is left alive to warn them! One-Eyes! One-Eyes! The day of death has come to the Golden Land! And I shall conquer the Golden City! I shall trample and break them! And not show pity! No man escapes the MIGHTY ONE-EYE!"

"Tomorrow, I... strike... and you shall ride at the front, sorcerer."

"ONE-EYES... WIN AGAIN! And I shall conquer the Golden City!"

"A caravan? A CARAVAN!"

"May I remind you gentlemen that when in doubt, consult the brigand's... handbook!"

"Faster! Faster, you fools! Faster!"

"[after being poked with the perching stick] What? What? Ohh!"

"Heeeeeeeeeeere's Phido!"

"Ya miss me? [ZigZag whacks him in the rear] AWK! Calling that the humane society?"

"Come on, Boss! I need a rehearsal here! [jumps through a flaming hoop; his tail feathers are on fire] Fire! Fire! FIRE!"

"Princess Yum-Yum: But what has he done?"
