(A group of KIDS enters. They see JACK and ANNIE peering into the Great Hall.)

YATES

Well, what do we have here?

RIKKI

I ain't never seen them around the castle.

OTHER KIDS

Yeah, we knows everyone works on the premises.

YATES

Couple of beggars, are ya?

BAXTER

Looking for a chance to pinch a piece of pigeon pie?

ANNIE

Pigeon pie& ?

JACK

Shhh.

YATES

Our mother's the cook and she baked them pies herself.

RIKKI

'Til the wee hours of the morning-

BAXTER

So they'd be fresh for the Duke's feast.

YATES

But if you was from around here, you'd know that already.

(The KIDS begin to circle JACK and ANNIE, threateningly.)

KIDS

Yeah. You'd know that already.

YATES

Looks like we caught ourselves some foreign spies!

OTHER KIDS

Yeah, or thieves!

RIKKI

Maybe they come to poison the Duke or steal his jewels.
