The Destruction of Tabatha Bag
Captain Cockle has gone over to T-Bag’s side but he tricks her into giving him all the pearls (or so he thinks), when T-Bag is not in the room he sends a message in Morse code to the children down in the village, they hide in the chest with the compass. Captain Cockle tricks T-Bag into magicking his belongings so he can sling his hammock up and be out of her way. T-Bag leaves the room and Sally and T-Shirt emerge from the chest.
Sally: Captain Cockle you had us fooled you know, we really thought you had gone over to T-Bag’s side.
Captain Cockle: As if?
T-Shirt: Brilliant idea that to send us a message to hide in the chest.
Captain Cockle: Ar it came to me in a flash.
(The children laugh)
Captain Cockle: Shushhhh.
Sally: It can’t be true Captain can it? The pearls destroyed?
Captain Cockle: Peppermint, it was my peppermint I ground up not the pearls (Sally takes a taste of the powder) I switched them over when her nibs weren’t watching.
T-Shirt: You crafty old soul.
Captain Cockle: You’ve brought the Captains compass we’ve got to work quickly now. (He starts putting the pearls onto the compass) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8…
Sally: What’s wrong?
Captain Cockle: There’s only eight there should be nine, there’s one missing.
T-Shirt: Well where is it?
Captain Cockle: I must have dropped it have a look round and see.
(They search frantically on the floor for the elusive pearl. Then suddenly T-Bag walks into the T-Room in front of Captain Cockle!)
T-Bag: So Captain two-faced Cockle destroyed all the pearls did you? (She holds up the last pearl in her fingertips) What’s this then a pickled onion?
Captain Cockle: But bu bu…
T-Bag: You seriously didn’t expect me to believe that cock and bull story about grinding up all the pearls did you in the moonlight?
Captain Cockle: Uh uh you saw…
T-Bag: Oh I wasn’t born yesterday you know?
T-Shirt: You said it.
T-Bag: Oh you traitor, I should have known all along you two-faced person I kept one pearl back as a little insurance policy. Uh just as well I did eh? Now what’s to be done with the gleesome threesome? This for starters! (T-Bag’s spell ties up their hands.)
T-Bag: Well, I've certainly learned something today, haven't I? Trust no-one. Not a soul! From now on it's going to be me, me on my own, all alone. I will share my glory with no-one. And as for you Sally Smug-Faced Simpkins, I have a special fate in store for you. You're going to wish you were never born! And who will come to your rescue? Him (pointing to Captain Cockle)? Him (pointing to T-Shirt)? Or this little precious pearl perhaps? (T-Bag holds the pearl in her palm over the compass) This precious, wonderful global of goodness. I doubt it, don't you?
(T-Shirt has managed to untie Sally, at this very moment Sally hits T-Bag’s hand upwards and the pearl soars freely into the air. The pearl reaches its zenith and then starts to fall, as it falls it lands back perfectly on the empty space of the compass.)
The compass and the pearls spring to life and the heavenly magic rids the world of evil, a bright white beam of goodness envelopes T-Bag and she vanishes. Tabatha Bag is destroyed for the very first time.
