Transcript[]
| Agent Cranium | Arthur! |
| Arthur | Yes, Miss Cranium? |
| Agent Cranium | Are you aware that there is a dragon or demon or something in downtown Moperville? |
| Arthur | I am aware. |
| Agent Cranium | Then why haven't you dispatched agents? |
| Arthur | It is too public.Agents using magic would raise questions. |
| Agent Cranium | You already told the public magic is real! Also? It's a dragon! |
| Arthur | We would not be able to deny the existence of magic anyway. The accessibility of magic has always been the real secret. |
| Agent Cranium | But-- |
| Arthur | Police have guns of their own. Without magic, our immediate presence is redundant. |
| Agent Cranium | But we could-- |
| Arthur | No. |
| Arthur | Do not worry, Miss Cranium. The occasional casualty will not disrupt our long-term objectives. |
