Jokey: Hey, Maggie, d'ya know how ta smurf off the wee-woo thingy?

Magician: The what?

Jokey: Ya know, it smurfs a wee-woo noise when ya — accidentally — trigger a blast box in the Mushroom?

Magician: ...THE FIRE ALARM!?

Jokey, shrugging: I mean, it's more explosion than fire, but sure.

Magician: [exits the Mushroom, covered in soot]

Jokey, worried: Are ya okay?!

Magician, grinning a bit madly: 'Okay'? I finally smurfed out how to smurf the disappearing sock trick, I'm more than 'okay'! What kind of question is that???

In the background, the Mushroom starts smoking and a loud wee-woo noise can be heard.

Magician, shaking her head: Smurfs, Jokey, it's like you don't even know me sometimes.

Jokey, glancing between her and the burning Mushroom: I t'ink I'm gonna agree wit' ya there...
