Hiding Dragon, Crouching Pumpkin

CRANE: (in choppy, dubbing English) Hello, good madam. My name is Ichabod Crane. I am to be your new school master.
KATRINA: (dubbing English) Welcome, good sire. I am Katrina Van Tassle, daughter of the mayor. Look out behind you!
CRANE: What is this I see!
(whooshing noises)
KATRINA: It is the Headless Horseman!
(echoing demonic laugh)
KATRINA: See how he attempts to frighten you!
CRANE: Ah, Headless Horseman, I have heard of your legend. Do you think I fear you? Let us have at it!
(fighting, grunting, whooshing noises)
KATRINA: Ichabod, you are such a graceful fighter! What style do you practice?
CRANE: Crane style, of course.
(more demonic laughter)
CRANE: Ah, you think you are strong, but I am stronger!
(more fighting and whooshing)
KATRINA: Watch out Ichabod Crane, he has a pumpkin!
(musical sting)
