i do isn't it
is that a real abby i mean with a fat
abbot and everything

mean i did save your hanky
it's not a handkerchief it's my
warrior's colors

do you know the abbot personal like
father mortimer
yes i've never met a real abbot will he
introduce me to him
well it's
that's the mighty claude what's your
name matthias
it's funny i had a dream about somebody
call matthias
[Music]
of course i come from a very psychic
family
you're great at throwing knives i'll
teach if you like
for getting me into the abbey but you'll
have to practice a lot
i will i'm learning to be a warrior uh
what's the matter someone stoned me
trunk
[Music]
looney who clooney the scourge he's a
terrible rat with an army of rats and
weasels
he stole a piece of our tapestry martin
the warrior
i don't care how terrible he is or what
he stole he'll need more than an army if
he messes about stealing my stuff
but ivy please you've got to move the
circus into the abbey if clooney's close
we've got to get them all inside
you're right matthias yes you're
absolutely right
we need to be inside the abbey
safe like
i sent you foraging for food like the
rest
we were chief then we saw
this must have been 50 of them guarding
it chief
but we got you treasure chief
treasure for you and promotion
for you
promotion yes promotion
promotion to chief idiots
act it off with cutlasses they did oh we
come quickly but they was all over the
place so we come in
crafty i have to find everett mortimer
if clooney's rats are this close we need
to get ready you said you'd introduce me
to the abbot
i'll come with you
clooney might have persuaded some
woodlanders to work for him
everybody coming in will have to be
searched it will be a great
inconvenience constance
they are all our friends one is enough
to open an outside door
then clooney's in huh
very well we'll do as you advise right
i'll pop a loft and man the catapult in
case clooney tries to jump us
in me juggle as it were but you'll miss
my show
father abbott this is wild ivy

i'm sure you're
abbot ship and i have never met her
a circus performer before

be long ago he saved the abbey from a
whole army of rats
and that's what this rat clooney stole
from you yes
everybody's very unhappy martin's our
hero
and you're gonna try to be like him yes
but there's a special thing i have to do
that will help me defeat clooney
and what's that exactly it's martin's
sword
i have to find it it's sort of
my fate fate's a very queer thing
[Music]

line of destiny is why
somebody's going to die and soon

carry your colours

do next

strike his enemy when he has fallen
