The overpowering of The High-T Lady/The capture of Sally & Thomas
Inside the temple on top of the teapot The High-T Lady summons Tallulah Bag to stop her evil ways and she destroys T-Bag’s evil weed, her precious T-Plant. She tries to make T-Bag drink from the cup of goodness “The T that puts the T in Tolerance, Tenderness and Truth” so she can become a member of the ancient order of the T-Set and be her T-Caddy once more. T-Bag is reluctant but sees there is still one leaf intact by the T-Plant. She takes a drink from the cup; the High-T walks out. T-Bag spits out the T of goodness and seizes the leaf from her T-Plant and takes a suck from the leaf and her evil powers return. T-Bag then changes the temple into her new T-Room and she sits down. Mean while Sally comes into the curiosity shop. While Thomas goes to make a cup of tea, Sally lifts the lid which unbalances T-Bag’s new T-Room.
T-Bag: What the?
Sally looks in and the high-T Lady returns.
High-T Lady: What’s happened? What’s going on? What is all this?
T-Bag: I warned you not to tangle with me didn’t I?
High-T Lady: But your T-Plant?
T-Bag: Ar yes, what’s done can easily be undone.
T-Bag magics her T-Plant back to life.
High-T Lady: You can’t do this.
T-Bag: I’ve done it.
High-T Lady: I have the power to stop you.
T-Bag: Try it!
T-Bag and The High-T try to out magic each other but T-Bag over powers the High-T.
T-Bag: Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Now who’s the High-T? Me ha ha ha ha ha ha. Now get out of my sight you old has-been.
T-Bag casts the High-T away and turns around and she sees Sally peering in.
T-Bag: Who are you?
T-Bag captures Sally and she disappears from the curiosity shop. We hear Sally’s scream for help as an echo with every call for help we zoom in on the Teapot.
Sally: Thomas, Thomas, Thomas, Thomas.
Thomas: Sally!
Thomas rushes into the shop and looks into the teapot to see her tied to a post with an approaching laser edging ever closer ready to zap her to bits.
Thomas: Sally!
Sally: Thomas help. Arrrgh.
Thomas: Oh no
Thomas blinks to get into the teapot but fails; he tries again and appears inside the teapot.
Sally: Arr ohh hurry ar ooh.
T-Shirt manages to untie Sally; they both dive out of the way of the impending laser and a moment later the laser reaches the post and explodes with a plume of smoke.
T-Shirt: That was close!
Sally: How? What? What’s going on?
We hear someone clapping, it is T-Bag!
T-Bag: Well done, what a hero!
T-Shirt: T-BAG!
T-Bag: Yes it’s me.
T-Shirt: Oh no.
Sally: What is going on?
T-Shirt: It was a trick, what an idiot.
Sally: Who is she?
T-Bag: Tell the girl T-Shirt.
Sally: T-Shirt? Who’s T-Shirt?
T-Shirt: Me I’m T-Shirt.
Sally: But you’re Thomas.
T-Shirt: Not anymore. What a mean rotten trick that was pretending you were going to zap Sally!
T-Bag: Who was pretending?
T-Shirt: You’re a beast you are!
T-Bag: Oh come now. Is that anyway to speak to an old chum like me?
T-Shirt: You’re no chum of mine.
T-Bag: Well chum or no chum you’re here now and you’ll do as I say. So my little genius Tea-making friend get brewing.
T-Shirt: No I won’t not in a million years. Not now, not ever, no way, get me, no way!
