Sir Humphrey:
It is characteristic of all committee discussions and decisions that every member has a vivid recollection of them and that every member’s recollection of them differs violently from every other member’s recollection. Consequently, we accept the convention that the official decisions are those and only those which have been officially recorded in the minutes by the officials, from which it emerges with an elegant inevitability that any decision which has been officially reached will have been officially recorded in the minutes by the officials and any decision which is not recorded in the minutes has not been officially reached even if one or more members believe they can recollect it, so in this particular case, if the decision had been officially reached it would have been officially recorded in the minutes by the officials, and it isn’t, so it wasn’t.

Betty Oldham:
Look, Sir Humphrey, whatever we ask the Minister, he says is an administrative question for you, and whatever we ask you, you say is a policy question for the Minister. How do you suggest we find out what is going on?

Sir Humphrey:
Yes, yes, yes, I do see that there is a real dilemma here. In that, while it has been government policy to regard policy as a responsibility of Ministers and administration as a responsibility of Officials, the questions of administrative policy can cause confusion between the policy of administration and the administration of policy, especially when responsibility for the administration of the policy of administration conflicts, or overlaps with, responsibility for the policy of the administration of policy.

Betty Oldham:
Well, that's a load of meaningless drivel. [pause] Isn't it?

Sir Humphrey:
It's not for me to comment on government policy. You must ask the Minister.

[Why has the Minister been invited to Number 10?]

Sir Humphrey:
Perhaps it is just for a drink, Minister.

Hacker:
Don't be silly, Humphrey. They don't ask you to Number 10 for a drink just because they think you're thirsty!

[Standard excuses when faced with serious allegations]

Sir Humphrey:
There's the excuse we used for the Munich Agreement: it occurred before certain important facts were known and couldn't happen again.

Hacker:
What important facts?

Sir Humphrey:
Well, that Hitler wanted to conquer Europe.

Hacker:
I thought everybody knew that.

Sir Humphrey:
Not the Foreign Office.

Sir Humphrey:
Didn't you read the Financial Times this morning?

Sir Desmond Glazebrook:
Never do.

Sir Humphrey:
Well, you're a banker. Surely you read the Financial Times?

Sir Desmond:
Can't understand it. Full of economic theory.

Sir Humphrey:
Why do you buy it?

Sir Desmond:
Oh, you know, it's part of the uniform. It took me thirty years to understand Keynes' economics. Then when I'd just cottoned on, everyone started getting hooked on these new monetarist ideas, you know, 'I Want To Be Free' by Milton Shulman.

Sir Humphrey:
Milton Friedman.

Sir Desmond:
Why are they all called Milton? Anyway, I've only got as far as Milton Keynes.

Sir Humphrey:
Maynard Keynes.

Sir Desmond:
I'm sure there's a Milton Keynes.

Sir Humphrey:
Yes, there is, but it's... [Humphrey gives up]

[Sir Humphrey claims he would be deeply sorry to see the Minister leave the DAA.]

Hacker:
Yes, I suppose we have got rather fond of one another. In a way.

Sir Humphrey:
[laughs] In a way, yes!

Hacker:
[jokingly] Like a terrorist and his hostage!

Bernard:
Which one of you is the terrorist?

Hacker & Sir Humphrey:
[each points at the other] He is.

[After Nerissa, glamouring as the Mage has controlled Halinor into diverting the source of the Guardians powers into the Heart of Kandrakar, the stream of energy was sent to Cornelia, as she was close by when it happened, while all the other Guardians powers have gone. Taranee and Irma fall and Will and Hay Lin catch Taranee and Caleb catches Irma]

Taranee:
Will!

Will:
It wasn't me! Our wings, our powers, they're just gone!

Hay Lin:
Well, get 'em back!

Will:
[Holds out the Heart of Kandrakar] Guardians unite! [Nothing happens. The trio gasp. The now, mega sized Tridart, due to the amount of desperation drained from Halior, appears]

Will:
Ok, uniting's out. How about panicking?

[Tridrart is hit in the face by a fast beam of light. The beam of light flies off and it is revealed to be Cornelia, super powered with all of the Guardian's powers. Due to the conversion of energy onto her, she flies back round to Tridart]

Cornelia:
[Her voice now echoes] Hey, Ice Guy? Chill!

[She unleashes a vast blast of fire, which in a fist form punches Tridart. He falls backwards a bit and when he looks back, Cornelia has unleashed a multitude of fire missiles. They hit Tridart, but he reflects some of them, with his wings. Cornelia is now even taller and her costume has slightly changed - her blue t shirt is now shoulderless and comes up even higher above the naval, her body is bigger, hair bigger and longer and her wings are bigger]

Caleb:
Woah! Hot!

Taranee:
Is that Cornelia?

[Cornelia flips her massive amount of hair and blonde/golden leaves appear]

Cornelia:
[Voice echoes] What would you do without me?

Irma:
[dryly] It's Cornelia.

[Caleb is now very happy with the "new" Cornelia and is smiling with mouth open and gets a leaf stuck in his mouth, which he has to spit out. Ember appears and fires a stream of fire at her and Cornelia turns and sends a torrent of water, which turns into ice at Ember. Shagon appears behind Cornelia and charges up and fires his green energy beams, but Cornelia turns invisible and flies out of the way. Shagon turns around to face the now reappeared Cornelia and she blasts him several times with green Earth energy. He falls down and crashes, Cornelia flies away. Irma and Caleb join Will, Taranee and Hay Lin]

Will:
How'd she get all our powers?

Cornelia:
[telepathically and loud, due to her voice echoing, which results in the girls being in pain and closing their ears] I don't know! Can you guys hold?!

Cornelia:
[To Tridart and to the girls] An iceberg is looking to Titanic my tail.

[Later]

[Cornelia and Tridart are battling. Ember soon joins and fires fire at Cornelia. Cornelia turns invisible, flies out of the way then reappears]

Cornelia:
[telepathically to Ember] You'd have more fun attacking him. More fun! Fun!

Ember:
This is fun! [she cackles and attacks Tridart]

Tridart:
Stop! You hotheaded maniac! [He hits Ember and she falls down, Kor catches her.]

Will, Irma, Taranee, Hay Lin:
[While Cornelia is attacking Tridart] Go Corny!

Caleb:
Yeah, Cornelia!

Will:
Use your lightning!

Taranee:
Telekinesis!

Hay Lin:
Ooh, go invisible again!

Cornelia:
[voice echoes] Ok! Don't be backseat Guardians!

Shagon:
[To Kor] Go! Distract her!

[Kor goes on the catapult and lands by the girls and Caleb]

Caleb:
Hey, Hairbrain! Bet you can't catch me!

[He jumps down, Kor follows]

Caleb:
Ok, lost that bet.

Cornelia:
[noticing them, voice echoes] Caleb!

[She flies down and saves Caleb]

Caleb:
Woah!

Taranee:
Will, look out!

[Shagon is flying after Will, and trying to blast her with his green energy. Cornelia unleashes a vast gust of air by exhaling. After, she flies down to join the girls]

Cornelia:
[voice echoing] This isn't safe. Get inside! I'm the only one who can do this now.

Irma:
Wow, even when she's self sacrificing, she's self centred.

[Tridart attacks them but Cornelia forms a fire shield around everyone]

Cornelia:
[voice echoes] I can't save your behinds and fight at the same time!

Caleb:
Cornelia, what are you doing?!

[She flies off, leaving the fire shield]

Cornelia:
[voice echoes] Protecting you!

Irma:
[as the fire shield closes] You can't do that! We're teammates, not sidekicks!

Caleb:
We have to get out of here.

Taranee:
Do we? I mean, what if Cornelia's right?

[Everyone looks at her]

Taranee:
First time for everything.

Hay Lin:
We can't just leave her out there alone! We're her friends!

Will:
[holding the Heart of Kandrakar] And we're always stronger together. With or without powers. [Hay Lin smiles at her]

Irma:
Oh, she's getting our help. Whether she likes it or not!

Will:
Hey, the Heart's warm. [holding it up] Ok, it may not be transmiting from the aurameres but it's still a talisman. [The Heart creates a fold]

[Cornelia is flying around Tridart, with a trail of golden energy. She flies around fast so much that the energy entraps him and explodes. Because of this, ice hits Cornelia, freezing her wings. Tridart catches her]

Tridart:
Even the prettiest flower gets brittle with the cold. Brittle and likely to snap!

Cornelia:
You think I'm pretty? Uh, sorry, Coldzilla. I already have a boyfriend. As for ice, [she puts her hands together. Her voice echoes] if it's not diamonds, I'm not interested! [She transforms into yellow fire, which burns Tridart and she flies away]

Cornelia:
[voice echoing] Now, you feed on fear, you'll choke on this! [She emits wavelengths of golden yellow energy from her mind] Eat hot confidence, Ice Cube!

[Principal Knickerbocker is punishing the girls for being gone by making them clean the school bus]

Cornelia:
Wait! It's my fault. I flaked and they were just covering. But I'm ready to do my own work now. Please, don't punish them because of me.

Principal Knickerbocker:
Then, I suppose the others may go.

[Cornelia starts to clean the bus, but Hay Lin sprays it with a hose, Taranee cleans it, and Irma and Will join]

Cornelia:
What are you doing?

Helping!

Julian:
What have you done with the real Mage?

Nerissa:
I've been the only Mage for years.

Julian:
How many years?

Nerissa:
[darkly] Change your tone, Julian. [lightly] The Mage was my dear friend. Took me in after a stray portal freed me from my cell on Mount Thanos.

Caleb:
Why would The Mage help you ?

Nerissa:
She wanted to...save me. Wanted me to see the bigger picture. Which I did...to her regret.

Caleb:
Your bigger picture is the dream of every petty tyrant. Phobos was no different. We beat him and we'll beat you, too.

Nerissa:
Ha! You'd never have vanquished Phobos without me. Wouldn't you agree, Julian? Or perhaps you both require proof? [to Julian] Remember Magenzian Falls? [pause] Good. Then remember this, also. Numbers don't lie.

[She drops them from the electrical constraints and walks through the fold]

[At Magenzian Falls]

Caleb:
Dad, what are you looking for? Is The real Mage a prisoner at Magenzian Falls?

Julian:
[quietly] There.

[He dives down]

Caleb:
Dad!

[He dives down after him and follows Julian to a different part of the land]

Caleb:
Enough! What is going on?!

Julian:
The Mage...

[Caleb notices a grave]

Caleb:
You mean she's... there? For how long?

Julian:
18 years. [Flashback of Julian and "The Mage"] But it was 17 years ago that we fell in love and had a child.

[End of flashback]

Caleb:
Wait, you're saying The Mage was my mother?

Julian:
No, Caleb, numbers don't lie, and neither did Nerissa. We have never defeated Phobos without her. She and I give the Rebellion nothing less than the rebel leader himself. Nerissa is your mother, Caleb.

[Caleb gasps]

Nerissa:
You must have questions.

Caleb:
Just one, Mom: how do you live with yourself?

Nerissa:
By making the universe a better place.

Caleb:
No, seriously.

Nerissa:
I'm quite serious. When Meridian was under Phobos's thumb, someone had to take charge. To unite the Meridianites and save their world.

Caleb:
That was me, not you.

Nerissa:
And you were created by me, entirely for that purpose. Someone had to have a vision, Caleb. On Meridian, that was you. But I play on a larger stage. Only I had the vision to create a perfect universe. All worlds will be united under my rule. [Cassidy, still controlled, levitates down, slowly] No more war or conflict. No injustice or suffering. If I demand obedience, it is only for the greater good. To create a new order!

Caleb:
Who-Who's that?!

Nerissa:
Cassidy. Or rather, her ghost. But soon, she will live again. Even death bows to my will!

You won't harm our child, Nerissa! If our love could create this magnificent son, there must been some good in you... once.

Nerissa:
Then, just this once, I'll let you both go, but cross me again, and there will be no mercy. Now escape.

Caleb:
Gee, Mom. Most kids just get grounded.
