Before Redcap can sneak off, a man in the back of the crowd claps slowly. Everyone turns to the man.
The man speaks " A town with adventurers a lot like a mule with a spinning wheel...nobody knows how he got it and danged if he knows how to use it! The name's Lyle. Lyle Lanley. I've got an idea...but nah. It's more of a OTHER VILLAGE idea."
Garth the merchant speaks up "Hey, we'll be the judge of that!"
Lyle produces a deck of cards. The back of the cards read "DECK OF MANY THINGS. USE WITH CAUTION."
Lyle Lanley: Well, sir, there's nothing on earth
Like a genuine,
Bona fide,
mystified,
20-card
Many-deck!
What'd I say?
A village : Many-deck!
Lyle Lanley: What's it called?
Patty+Selma: many-deck!
Lyle Lanley: That's right! many-deck!
[crowd chants `many-deck' softly and rhythmically]
Miss Hoover: I hear those things are the worst...
Lyle Lanley: I swear to you that it's not cursed.
Apu: won't it cause our bitter end?
Lyle Lanley: Not on your life, my Hindu friend.
Barney: What about us brain-dead slobs?
Lyle Lanley: You'll be given cushy jobs.
Abe: Were you sent here by the devil?
Lyle Lanley: No, good sir, I'm on the level.
Wiggum: The ring came off my pudding can.
Lyle Lanley: Take my pen knife, my good man.
I swear it's
Springfield's only choice...
Throw up your hands and raise your voice!
All: many-deck!
Lyle Lanley: What's it called?
All: many-deck!
Lyle Lanley: Once again...
All: many-deck!
Marge: But Main Street's still all cracked and broken...
Bart: Sorry, Mom, the mob has spoken!
All: many-deck!
many-deck!
many-deck!
[big finish]
many-deck!
Homer: many... D'oh!
Lyle asks "who wants to draw a card or five?"
