[paper burns leaving marks on the table]

Markl: Scorch marks! Howl, can you read them?

Howl: That is ancient sorcery and quite powerful too.

Markl: Is it from the Witch of the Waste?

Howl: "You who swallowed a falling star, o' heartless man, your heart shall soon be mine." That can't be good for the table.
