The Tarot: The Origins, Meanings and Uses of the Cards is a book published in 1972, written by Alfred Douglas with illustrations by David Sheridan. Its description claims it as an "exciting book of detection [that] tells all that can be told about the ancient and mysterious set of playing cards known as the Tarot." Beau just thinks Gene is trying to make him feel better, and reasserts that the end is near. Kermit corrects him, "no, the end is now." Gene laughs and throws The Tarot over his shoulder.
