"Old women are very good at being confrontational," Rae grins at him. "Never get on their bad side."

"Get back, witch!" Max yells.
The woman protests. "I'm not a witch, I'm your wife, but after what you just said, I'm not even sure I want to be that anymore!"


"You tell 'im!" Rae agrees, "though I find this movie's tendency to drop in interesting but hardly explained characters out of nowhere kind of odd."

"True Love, he said "True Love", Max," the woman goes on, exasperated. "My God."
"Don't say another word, Valerie."
"He's afraid," Valerie confides to Inigo. "Ever since Prince Humperdinck fired him, his confidence is shattered."
"Why'd you say that name? You promised me that you would never say that name!"
"What... Humperdinck?" she teases.
"Aaaigh!"
Valerie follows the retreating Max around the room, shouting the prince's name repeatedly. "True love lies expiring, and you don't have the decency to say why you won't help!"
"Nobody's hearing nothing!" he protests, which leads to Valerie going back to shouting the prince's name at him.


"This is really weird," Rae mutters, watching the screen at a loss.

Inigo tries to stop the argument. "This is Buttercup's True Love. If you heal him, he will stop Humperdinck's wedding."
It works. "Shah! Wait, wait," says Max, approaching. "I make him better, Humperdinck suffers?"
"Humiliations galore," Inigo assures him.
"Ha ha ha! That is a noble cause. Gimme the sixty-five. I'm on the job," Max finally agrees, grinning.

Some time later, the miracle pill is nearly complete. Valerie is coating the pill with chocolate, while Inigo expresses his doubts.


"I've had some good chocolate," Rae remarks, smirking, "and named some chocolate after death, but I don't know if chocolate can actually bring someone back from the dead... That would have to be some divine chocolate, indeed."

Max gives them the pouch with the pill in it.
"Thank you for everything," Inigo says, as they hurry out the door.
Max and Valerie see them off, waving cheerily. "Bye-bye, boys!"
"Have fun storming the castle!"
Valerie lowers her voice. "Think it'll work?"
"It would take a miracle," he mutters back. Then, a moment later, they are both all smiles again, waving with renewed cheer.
"Bye-bye!!"


"Good thing they have a miracle, then, huh?" Rae says, cheerfully. It is a story, and has shown itself to work by storybook logic; she isn't worried for the heroes.
