(A hooded traveller, easily identifiable as Numbuh 5, is riding through the Sugar Deserts on a camel. She approaches a marketplace where merchants are trying to sell their candy. Bits and pieces of their conversations with customers can be heard.)
- MERCHANT #1: No, no, no, no. Three is my final offer.
- MERCHANT #2: ...like you have never seen, my friend!
- MERCHANT #3: I couldn't possibly part with it for such a pittance! Surely you can see...
(The last merchant and his two customers turn as Numbuh 5 rides by. Merchants begin to call to her.)
- MERCHANT #4: Hello, hello! Come closer, dear friend!
- MERCHANT #5: Yes, yes! Look here! See what I can offer you!
- MERCHANT #6: Ahh, best in bazaar, you see. No finer to be had! You look, you see, you buy!
(Numbuh 5 stops at one of the merchant's tents.)
- AL SUGARH: (takes a sip of tea) Ahh. I can see you are a wise traveller, friend, for you have stopped at Al Sugarh's humble tent. (chuckles) Peruse these most precious gems. Each is more valuable than the last, ha ha! Come, come! Let your eyes judge for themselves.
(Numbuh 5 gets off of the camel and walks over to the table. She regards the candy for a moment, then tosses it all aside. A group of children appear and begin eating it.)
- AL SUGARH: Ah, so you are a customer whose discerning taste yearns for candies more succulent than such puny fare. Ah ha ha ha! Please step into my tent. (he and Numbuh 5 walk into the tent) I sense that you wish not to be insulted. So permit me to go right to the yummy filling, ah? (he picks up an object wrapped in cloth) I offer... the Blurpleberry Supreme! (the cloth falls off to reveal a glowing dark blue candy in the shape of a rectangular gem) Perhaps you know of its fabled qualities, yes?
- NUMBUH 5: I know about it, all right... (she pulls off her hood) You stole it from me!
- AL SUGARH: Numbuh 5 of the Kids Next Door! I did not expect you to journey so far into the Sugar Deserts for a mere piece of candy.
- NUMBUH 5: Why did you do it, Al? You know a great candy taken in greed always turns sour!
- AL SUGARH: Ah! Rule number one, little girl—never let an ancient superstition get in the way of profits.
- NUMBUH 5: I was saving that candy for a special occasion, so give it back.
- AL SUGARH: What makes you think I'll just hand it over? (Numbuh 5 pulls out a G.U.M.Z.O.O.K.A.) Ah, you are full of surprises. But then again... so am I!
(Two licorice ropes suddenly wrap around Numbuh 5's wrists, and she is pulled backwards by two men holding the other ends of the ropes.)
- AL SUGARH: Goodbye, Numbuh 5 of the Kids Next Door. News of your failed mission will certainly raise the price of my precious jewel.
- NUMBUH 5: (grunts) I'm not licked yet! (she knocks over a basket of jawbreakers and kicks some of them backwards; the men are struck by them and fall to the floor) Heh heh heh. So that's why they call 'em jawbreakers.
(Numbuh 5 turns around to see that Al Sugarh has picked up her weapon. He begins firing at her, but she shields herself with a jawbreaker and the gumballs being fired fly back at Al Sugarh.)
- NUMBUH 5: Huh?
(Numbuh 5 looks up and sees that Al Sugarh has been struck by one of the gumballs, which now is in chewed form and stuck to his chest.)
- AL SUGARH: Eagh, ugh. (gasps) Oh, so sticky... (he falls to the ground moaning)
- NUMBUH 5: Hmph! That's right. (she picks up the Blurpleberry Supreme)
(Numbuh 5 walks out of the tent, then lifts a hand to shield her eyes from the sun. Then she trips over a rope made of licorice and the Blurpleberry Supreme flies out of her hand. She looks up to find herself surrounded by men wielding candy swords. Then a chubby boy with blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing an explorer's outfit with a pith helmet and monocle, picks up the Blurpleberry Supreme.)
- HEINRICH: Guten tag, mein Abigail. So good of you to join us.
- NUMBUH 5: Oh, hello... Heiney!
- HEINRICH: My name is Heinrich Von Marzipan! I think I made that clear when we last met in Guatemala!
- NUMBUH 5: Uh, eh heh... yeah... uh, listen, about Guatemala, you see, some urgent business came up, and then—
- HEINRICH: And you left me holding zee bag of sacred golden caramels just as the authorities arrived! I was grounded for ein month.
- NUMBUH 5: Oh, I am so sorry to hear that, and I would love to make it up to you, so why don't you just give me my candy back... (the guards growl and wave their swords at her and she chuckles nervously) I-I guess not?
- HEINRICH: Und vhy is this candy so important to you?
- NUMBUH 5: I am saving it for a special occasion!
- HEINRICH: Ah, so am I, Abby. I am going to use it to unlock the tomb of King Two-Tons-of-Candy!
- NUMBUH 5: Has all the sugar gone to your head, Heiney? You know that tomb is cursed!
- HEINRICH: I don't care about superstition. I'm in it for the candy! And that is why Heinrich Von Marzipan is the world's greatest candy hunter, not you!
- NUMBUH 5: Go suck on a salt lick.
- HEINRICH: Ooh, so bitter. (he tosses a small bag to Numbuh 5) Here! A payment for your jewel. Let's see how long you can survive alone in the desert on those. Oh, und by the way, that candy's sugar free.
- NUMBUH 5: I think I'll make do.
(Numbuh 5 tosses the bag into the air and its contents spill out onto the ground. Immediately the same children from before appear and begin eating the candy, knocking Heinrich over in the process.)
- HEINRICH: What? Nein! Oh! No! Go away! (the children scatter, then he looks up to find that Numbuh 5 is nowhere to be seen) She's gone! Find her! Search everywhere! I have no time for this. I want to see that sourball in chains when I get back!
(Heinrich gets into his Candy Tank and sets off. Unbeknownst to him, Numbuh 5 is riding on the back. Eventually, a set of pyramids comes into view.)
- HEINRICH: Oh! The tomb of King Two-Tons-of-Candy! (he stops the tank in front of the largest of the pyramids) At last, the entrance to the eighth Sugary Wonder of the World! Well, there's only seven now!
(Heinrich pulls a lever and there is an explosion. When the dust settles, a hole has been blown in the door to the pyramid. Heinrich opens the top of the tank and looks out.)
- HEINRICH: It's—it's... beautiful!
(Ahead is a large hall of striped columns, at the end of which is a door. Heinrich walks forward, clutching the Blurpleberry Supreme. He reaches the door.)
- HEINRICH: (giggling) Sweet! Let's see. (he places the Blurpleberry Supreme in an indentation in the door and it slides open, revealing a set of stairs; he walks down them) Ach du licorice! King Two Tons Of Candy's treasure!
(The chamber Heinrich has entered has a lot of candy in it, and in the middle is a gold-colored sarcophagus with Egyptian-style hieroglyphics on the side of it.)
- HEINRICH: Hmm... it says, "From the forehead ye shall control the sarcophagus, but share not and..." blah, blah, blah. Who gives a caramel? (he lifts off the lid of the sarcophagus and gasps) The king's headpiece! (he laughs and puts on the headpiece, which has a similar indentation to the one in the door) Und now for the ultimate prize!
(Heinrich is just about to place the Blurpleberry Supreme in the headpiece's indentation, but stops when he hears the voice of Numbuh 5.)
- NUMBUH 5: Don't do it, Heiney! If you finish the inscription, you'd see that it says, "From the forehead ye shall control the sarcophagus, but share not and only taste asparagus."
- HEINRICH: You don't fool me, Abby liebchen honey! You were going to come here without me and take everything, just like what you tried to do in Guatemala!
- NUMBUH 5: Now, now, Heinrich. You know that's not what happened.
- HEINRICH: (stammers furiously) I am the best there is, and I will prove it! (he places the Blurpleberry Supreme in the headpiece's indentation)
- NUMBUH 5: No!
(Light streams from the open sarcophagus, and the candy within swirls up and out of it. Numbuh 5 gasps. The candy begins to envelop Heinrich.)
- HEINRICH: The candy's all mine!
(Heinrich is completely enveloped by the candy, and in his place is a gigantic candy mummy.)
- HEINRICH/MUMMY: I control the candy now, Abigail, and it feels sweet! And you can't have any. Not you or anyone else. (starts eating a piece of candy, then spits it out) This candy tastes like asparagus. You! What did you do to the candy?
- NUMBUH 5: I warned you!
- HEINRICH/MUMMY: Lies! You will pay for tricking me, Abigail.
- NUMBUH 5: Uh oh.
(The mummy starts after Numbuh 5, chasing her up the stairs and spraying candy at her. At the top of the stairs is a dead end.)
- NUMBUH 5: Oh man, what now?
- HEINRICH/MUMMY: Looks like you've eaten the last chocolate in the box, fräulein. Any last words?
- NUMBUH 5: Yeah. Give me back my candy! (she tosses a licorice rope around one of the columns, swinging around to land on the mummy's headpiece, where she removes the Blurpleberry Supreme from the indentation)
- HEINRICH/MUMMY: Nooooo...
(The mummy begins to crumble away, revealing Heinrich standing in mid air.)
- HEINRICH: ...ooooo! (he falls to the ground) Ach, mein tummy hurts.
- NUMBUH 5: (tutting) Mm mm mm. How many times do I have to tell people? A great candy taken in greed always turns sour.
(The Blurpleberry Supreme sparkles in her hand, and this fades into a later scene at the Sector V treehouse, where Numbuh 1 is having a birthday party. Numbuhs 2, 3 and 4 are all wishing him a happy birthday when Numbuh 5 appears at a nearby window.)
- NUMBUH 5: Sorry I'm late, Numbuh 1. I had to pick up your gift. (she tosses the wrapped Blurpleberry Supreme to Numbuh 1)
- NUMBUH 1: (unwraps the Blurpleberry Supreme) Blurpleberry? Yuck! You know I prefer cherry!
(Numbuh 5 is stunned for a moment, then rolls up her sleeve and begins to advance on Numbuh 1 angrily.)
- NUMBUH 5: Oh, I can't believe it! I can't believe it!
- NUMBUH 1: What'd I say?
