Quotes

 * Daniel (narrating): I remember it well. Israel. Our homeland. Our birthplace. Founded by Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and Joshua. For years it did well. But many turned on God. The result was invasion from the Babylonian Empire. Our temple was burned. Our holy objects stolen. Many people slain. Many captured. I was one.
 * Tom: Help! FIRE!
 * Jerry: You let them claim you.

Daniel: It was either me or my mum. I sacrificed my freedom so she may survive.
 * King Nebukenezah: They tell me you're the best humans amongst your people. You shall become Magi. You would advise me, govern the provinces, and check sacrifices to gods.
 * Daniel: I may serve as a Magus. But I refuse to deny God.
 * Aspinash: Here. The royal king's meat.

Daniel: I'm sorry. But we cannot accept it. We can't eat meat offered to another god, tainted by his ritual. To do so is to die.
 * Aspinash: But if you neglect to, we'd all die. Ohh.

Daniel: Give us vegetables, bread, seeds, fruit, cheese, and nuts. And some sardines for Tom. Do it. And keep it hidden from the king.

Aspinash: Okay. I hope you know what you're doing.

Tom: I think the same thing.
 * Sceppoc: Think before you get the better of me, Hebrew.,

Tom: The Lord Magus is a creep.

Jerry: And he's trouble.
 * King Nebukenezah: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Tom: What was that?

Droopy: The king had a nightmare. Again. He had it for about four nights now.
 * King Nebukenezah: Tell me the dream. How do I know you got powers?

Sceppoc: No mortal can know another's dream.

King Nebukenezah: You presume to deny me.

Sceppoc: But majesty..... be reasonable.

King Nebukenazah: YOU DARE TO REFUSE ME! GUARDS! DESTROY THEM!

Daniel: Stop! I know your dream! I know about the tree.

King Nebukenazah: Tree?

Daniel: Yes. A tree, growing high with food and shelter for all below. It symbolises you providing for your people. Then a woodcutter chops it down. Your reach is going too high, so God must bring you down to prevent your actions from starting a war which would end all. The stump is chained. You would live as a beast for seven years.... until you learn mercy and humility and believe in God.

King Nebukenazah: That is the dream.
 * King Nebukenazah: Am I supposed to be a donkey now? Or was it a giraffe, a croc, a tiger, a bear, a deer, a squirrel, or a dog?

Daniel: Hard to say.

Tom: Could be all.

King Nebukenazah: Why should I be a beast? Look on my city. This is Babylon, the greatest city on Earth. Yes.

Daniel: Beware your arrogance.

Kin Nebukenazah: I forged Babylon!

Daniel: As did many slaves such as my people.

(the lot see the king develop donkey-legs with tiger-stripes on as well as a croc tail, and gasp)

King Nebukeneazah: Wrong, Hebrew.

(he holds his arms up, failing to realise he's developing a brown bear body)

King Nebukeneazah: I built it.

(he falls down on all fours as he talks on)

King Nebukeneazah: Only I built Babylon.

(he grows a giraffe-neck)

King Nebukeneazah: The greatest city the world has seen.

(he grows deer-antlers and bloodhound ears)

King Nebukeneazah: My city.

(he grunts... growing squirrel-teeth)

King Nebukeneazah: Built by my hands. Ugh!

(people laugh)

King Nebukeneazah: Why do you laugh..

(he sees his reflection and screams)

Tom: Well, well. It came so. All on once.

Jerry: Daniel warned you. You refused to heed.

(the king rears up and roars, beating his chest)

(he runs about on a rampage, smashin thigns up)

Tom: He's gone bananas.
 * Daniel: Easy, sire. With faith, you can heal under God's guidance. C'mon. We'd escort you to some forest with food and drink.

King Nebukenezah: Thank you.
 * Tom: Balthazar is such a jerk. Even his dad proved better than him.
 * Jerry: Balthazar! You idiot! Bleeding your empire dry!
 * Daniel: Balthazar. You arrogant, greedy, irresponsible monster! You abused your power terribly. You ruined your dad's memory. Your dad, proud as he was, learned to be a better man. But not you. You abused your power, and left God with only one choice to ensure Earth's survival. Mene, mene. God has numbered your reign's days and ended it. Tekel. You'd been weighed on the balance and found guilty. Ofasing. Your kingdom is divided amongst the Persians and the Medes.

Steppoc: He is a liar.

Droopy: Then why do Medes come towards us?
 * King Darius: I admire the Hebrews. Yes. Such great people. Without order, there would be chaos.
 * Steppoc: A rebellion is plotting to cause chaos. It is to be announced. No one but the king shall be worshipped.

King Darius: Me?

Steppoc: Yes. Only you. Any who break the law is a rebel and must be thrown into the Lion-Pit!

Tom/Jerry: Lion Pit?!?

Daniel: Reconsider, Your Majesty. It would be madness.

King Darius: I trust him.

Jerry: Because he's one of your people? Steppoc is lying.
 * Tom: LIONS! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
 * King Darius: To think I trusted Steppoc coz he was one of my people. And he tricked me with his lies. Now, Daniel, Tom, and Jerry would die... and it's my fault. God. Take my life.
 * Daniel: God saved us. He sent an angel who tamed these lions.
 * King Darius: Steppoc! There never was a rebellion. You made it all up to justify removing Daniel. You did it to remove him for power! He saved your life from my predecessors. And this is how you repay him? You monster. Jerry warned me but I chose to trust you. I was an idiot and madman to trust you. An error I plan to correct. Guards! Arrest Steppoc and his followers! Tomorrow, they can feed the lions they planned to use on these few! (To Daniel) I declare that all shall worship your God, Daniel. Now I know he's the living God.
