Narrator:
Through forest green and violent stream the Viking Gardener shall follow his dream.

Pasqual:
I go to the garden with spade in my hand, I am a gardener I cultivate the land.
The soil's so dry the sky is too blue, oh what is this poor Viking Gardener to do?
The carrots need sunlight, the squash fertile ground, the parsley some water but none to be found.
There's nowhere to run there's nowhere to go, oh why must my garden always have to blow?

Narrator:
And so Pasqual went to sleep...

II DREAMS OF A UTOPIAN GARDEN

Pasqual:
I dream of gardens in the sky, a dew kissed rose, a tear from my lord's eye.
Gentle rains caress as life unfolds, with every breath this world has touched my soul.

Narrator:
Meanwhile, out in the forest..

The Evil Weeds:
Die. Kill. Rip. Smack. (4x)
Die.

Pasqual:
I feel my life slowly decay, darkened fields with flowers ripped and frayed.
My mother raped vomits forth death's own, I feel her scream to touch what I've been shown.

Narrator:
Meanwhile, back in the forest...

The Evil #12:
Your days are numbered Pasqual. 1, 2, 3, 4.

The Evil Weeds:
Die. Kill. Rip. Smack. (8x)
Die.

***************************
III TOMATOES

Pasqual:
Look at my garden, look at my garden, look at my garden, look at my garden.
Tomatoes, tomatoes, what does it matter, they're all dead.

IV A QUESTING WE WILL GO

Narrator:
And so Pasqual, disgruntled with his land, left. On a quest to seek the Utopian Garden. He walked proudly with hoe in hand and a bag o' seeds to impregnate the land. He crossed miles of desert and fertile terrain and bathed when he could - which wasn't too often. For after all, he was a viking. But he kept his heart pure, and that's the important thing during a quest. He had many wonderfully strange adventures and met many strange and wonderful creatures, including some women. The tiller of soil was soon set upon by armies of the Nasty Weeds, led by The Evil #12. The battle ensued.

V CARNAGE IS FOREST LEIBENBOOT

Pasqual:
Who are you?

The Evil #12:
I want your carrots,...

Pasqual:
No!

The Evil #12:
...and your beans, ...

Pasqual:
No!

The Evil #12:
...and your radishes...

Pasqual:
No. You can have the cumquats.

The Evil #12:
Your garden is mine...

Pasqual:
No - not the garden...

The Evil #12:
...for ever, and ever, and ever,...

Narrator:
Suddenly just when all seemed lost, Pasqual pulled out his trusty butane torch and set the nasty weeds aflame in one fell swoop.

VI THE CRYPTIC CHAMELEON

The Keeper:
Hey I'd like to thank you for the deed that you have done. Here - have a lollipop the color of the sun. The taste of life is thrice as sweet with hybrid gardens at one's feet. But twice the love is from above. You'll never wither, always love.

Pasqual:
Keeper of the forest green and garden of the sky - no need for thanks. Twas nothing, eh. This lollipop looks mighty good, it borders on a dream. But I cannot think, I cannot see. Am I high? What does this mean?

The Keeper:
I cannot say just what this is, just keep your heart true. But hey - whoa - turn around! What is that thing behind you?

Narrator:
And when he turned The Keeper fled and left Pasqual alone. Concentration, sweat of blood, he must rethink what he'd been told.

The Keeper and Pasqual:
The taste of life is thrice as sweet with hybrid gardens at one's feet. But twice the love is from above.

Pasqual:
What could he mean? I lick it once. I lick it twice. The lollipop it sings! A blinding light, I cannot see. A violent scream. What does this mean? She appears with deep green eyes. Garden Princess - I am mesmerized!

**********************
VII EPILOGUE

Narrator:
Pasqual and Princess Gardenia were whisked away to their Utopian Garden on a chariot pulled by a team of flying squirrels with duck feet and snorkels. (And snorkels.) They lived long and happy lives - you know - being all happy. But deep down Pasqual knew that someday the Nasty Weeds would return.

The Evil #12:
(inaudible murmurings)
