as Tripitaka and his companions continue

their journey from China to India they

traveled across a wind whipped and rocky

stretch of desert until they finally

came to the kingdom of Bijou an ancient

and weather-beaten land the good king of

vision had married the niece of the

royal chancellor little did he know that

in reality his wife and her uncle were

evil and magical creatures and so the

four friends entered the city and found

the inn where travellers stayed monsters

why of course not we're pilgrims we're

on our way to India we're on a quest for

the books of wisdom all we want is a

place to rest and pass the night do you

really expect me to provide lodging for

the likes of a monkey and a pig you have

nothing to fear for they are my loyal

companions and good and Noble Souls law

rider come this way it appears to me

that you are fortunate to live in such a

happy prosperous Kingdom it becomes less

happy and prosperous with every passing

day but how can that be

because our queen is a cruel woman she

and her uncle the Chancellor used their

power to raise taxes and then keep all

the money themselves they grow fat while

we suffer but that's unfair and it

shouldn't be allowed what can we do I

shall speak with your king tomorrow true

he may listen to you at least I hope so

that very night in the Queen's private

chamber she and her uncle were hatching

an evil scheme we must lower the taxes

uncle

are you insane but the people are

growing angrier every day we don't want

to risk an open revolt is it that bad

everywhere they're saying our demands

are unreasonable what if you were to

take to your bedchamber huh what has my

bedchamber got to do with it

if you were deathly ill they'd willingly

pay for my medicines wouldn't they

exactly

you take to your bed and the peasants

pay

will the king be fooled I'm sure you can

fool him and everyone else in the

kingdom if we say their taxes are to pay

for your medicine they'll give till it

hurts aren't we clever the next day the

Chancellor told the king that the Queen

had fallen gravely ill she will need

medicines and they'll be costly may I

see her but she looks so well yes she

does and that's exactly what makes this

exotic and insidious disease so

dangerous Your Majesty there's a monk

who's passing through the kingdom on his

way to India and he wants to see you to

discuss the unfair taxes tell him I

cannot possibly see him before I have

too much on my mind and what name does

this itinerant monk go by he says his

name is Tripitaka Your Majesty this

Tripitaka is a very famous monk and if

we let him in we can hold him for rent I

mean ask him if he knows what remedies

might help the Queen Tripitaka must come

in Tripitaka must come in Tripitaka

almost

this way but the visitor only appeared

to be Tripitaka in reality he was monkey

in disguise I'm told you disapprove of

our tax system but since you don't live

here I fail to see what business it is

of yours I am a monk and an enemy of

injustice everywhere so when I was told

of the people's suffering I decided that

I must make it my business but I do not

agree with you that the taxes here are

unjust Majesty our visitor must be told

of the Queen's illness you tell them

about the Chancellor our queen has been

stricken with a mysterious deadly

illness oh really

when just last night and I assure you

which is a kind of illness requiring

expensive treatment which our taxes will

pay for oh great and wise monk could you

not heal my poor suffering wife as a

favor to me my inner I may be able to

see the problem so yes if you please

take me to her if you're able to end her

misery we shall be delighted but should

you fail the king will be displeased hmm

well let me have a look and I'll do the

best I can

[Laughter]

she has a high fever and dreadful chills

on top of that let me have a look yes do

please examine her closely as monkey

gazed at the Queen he and the evil

creature saw through each other's

disguises

now that you've examined her I suggest

you retire to your in for a while all

right but if she keeps getting worse

you'll have only ourselves to blame no

no please don't leave us

Satsuma you mustn't send him away if

it's possible he can be of help you're

all right but he'd better conduct

himself with prudence won't you look at

the Queen again I will although I can

discern more clearly without the

impediment of a disguise but this is no

Queen either as you can see oh let her

go a prepare to submit to punishment I'd

stand back and why were you the Queen

flew to the inn were there real to be

taught awaited with eggsy and sandy

things are so quiet around here I tell

you it's starting to make me nervous

with good reason

the Queen swooped off and changed

herself into a palace guard who are you
