Look Who's Coming to Dinner, Redux

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 36984

Rami stared in surprise at the creatures before her. Trolls were supposed to be pale, short, Buddha-bellied beings with frizzy neon-colored hair. These trolls, though, were tall & reptilian. More astounding, though, they were also impeccable dressers - suits & bow ties & bowler hats.

"Who are you?" Rami asked.

The leader of the pack stepped forward. "My name is Huey, and my associates are Dewey & Lewey." With each introduction, a troll stepped forward, doffed his hat, and bowed deeply.

Rami chuckled. "Huey, Dewey, and Lewey? And what, exactly, do you do here?"

"Officially," explained Huey, "we are cave trolls. At least that's what the employment papers that Minestras presented to us state."

"You don't look like trolls," interjected Rami.

Dewey left the chamber as Lewey approached. Huey continued: "No, I suppose we aren't really cave trolls, though we do approach our work here with diligence. We are political exiles."

"Long live Sauron!" shouted Lewey. Rami noted with some alarm that he was now behind her, blocking her exit path from the cavern.

"Yes, long live Sauron," echoed Huey. "We are Lizardmen, and on our throne now sits a usurper, backed by a foreign power, the human king who rules outside this cave."

Suddenly, Lewey lunged at Rami, grabbing her tightly by the upper arms. She squealed and began kicking and struggling. "Hey, what are you doing?"

Dewey had returned with a large sack. Huey stepped forward, just out of range of Rami's kicks. "Well, we are cave trolls now, and as such we do the Dragon's bidding. He has commissioned us to rid his caverns of intruders, which you appear to be."

"Plus," Dewey chimed in, as he removed various cooking utensils and ingredients from his sack, "we are lizardmen, and we do love a nice leg of girl now and then, my succulent dear."

The situation seemed dire for Miss Gupta.

  1. Rami makes a deal with the trolls.
  2. The trolls continue their dinner preparations.
