Rudolph peeks out from behind the stage curtain, wondering where all that ruckus is coming from. Looks around to see if any of those wise guys are around. Seeing none, Rudolph walks out on stage, sees a pile of census forms. Since there's no snacks anywhere around, Rudolph grabs a mouthful of forms and munches away.

Musical Director! I think a rousing rendition of Sheep may Safely Graze is called for.

Not from me, I hope. Breathe in, breathe out - breathe in, breathe out......that's the way. He's not even turning blue....

Heaven forbid! I'll ring them as soon as I've finished filling out this census papyrus.

Looks at scroll.

Err... this may prove rather complicated.

Well, in the spirit of the census, I've been counting.

It turns out, I have lots of money, loads of slaves, more than a few concubines and one very evil nature.

Wasn't able to locate any scruples however.

Must've lost them somewhere along the way.

Along with your marbles. Now get out of my house. I'm trying to fill out this form, and having evil kings poncing about the place doesn't help.

Mary, do you remember what my blood type is?

Bah! Get out you filthy animal!
Good job I bought half a dozen more shirts... well, they were on special offer you know.

Slippery slope you know.. And so young, too.

Actually, a nice cup of Earl Grey is what I want right now. Two sugars, skimmed milk. And a Digestive, if you can rustle one up.



Watches Mary walk out.

{sotto voce}

And then we'll have a chat about the phone bill.

"Ah"? Is that it?! "Ah"?! "Ah" is not going to pay the bill, my sweet.

"Ah" is not even going to explain the bill.

Frankly, "ah" is no response at all.

We'll postpone discussion of this until after the birth, though. I don't want the babies getting upset.

Taps pregnant bump.

Hear that, kids? Daddy - well, sort-of-Daddy - cares about you!

But actually, I think I'd rather have a honey and gherkin sandwich if you wouldn't mind, my sweet.

Hmmm... well, I can't say I'm thrilled at the prospect of preparing one of those.

But if it'll make you feel better, why not?

You expect me to believe that in light of the fact that you've named me Cyril?

Yes, or I'll put your head in a vice and make you believe it.
