KAY :
Wait!
Excalibur’s right there.
…Shit.
It’s too high up.
You, there.
Get on my shoulders.
PERCIVAL :
Excuse me?
KAY :
To get the sword, obviously.
Arthur is defenseless right now. We need to get Excalibur back.
PERCIVAL :
[nauseous] I see…
KAY :
Come here and help me, then.
Gawain, you go on ahead.
We’ll catch up with you. Help him as much as you can.
GAWAIN :
Of course.
I’ll protect Arthur at all costs.
PALAMEDES :
Oof!
GIANTESS :
We'd be done with this by now
if you stopped avoiding me and fought.
PALAMEDES :
Cann't you catch me, instead of making excuses?
Or maybe you’re relying on that magic ring too much.
GIANTESS :
Do you want me to use it that badly?
PALAMEDES :
You won’t do it.
It’s too draining, isn’t it?
You seem ill-prepared to face this many knights.
With no weapons, no armor…
…a trinket you want to use on as many knights as possible…
You lot didn’t ask for anything in exchange for Elaine’s life.
Something’s off.
GIANTESS :
Elaine
is no longer in this world.
Her remains were thrown out onto that little island you see in the distance.
PALAMEDES :
Thrown out?!
GIANTESS :
We can’t keep the scraps of our meals with us on the Mount.
It would stink the place up.
…What?
You still don’t understand?
It was never our intention to bargain with the Round Table.
Each and every single one of you will die.
So instead of looking for loopholes where there are none…
You’d better worry about the knight fighting my sister.
[ we switch over u know how it is i wish they had names ]
GIANTESS :
Well done.
Truly, I’m surprised.
You’re not doing that badly, for such a small man.
LAMORAK :
So I’ve been told.
( This is no good.
Because of this soft soil, I spend more time trying not to fall over
than focusing on hitting her.
Meanwhile, she only has to hold her arm out without moving too much to get a hit in.
It’s exhausting,
and it’s pissing me off. )
GIANTESS :
Oh, what a murderous look.
Looks like you're getting frustrated.
Still think you can beat me, little knight?
You, with no great feats to your name?
LAMORAK :
I beat thirty knights in a row at the Cornwall tourney,
fought Tristan and Lancelot countless times without ever losing,
drove the Nuckelavee from the Pentland Firth!
I⎯
NARRATION :
“And how
does that make you a good knight?”
“Are you not simply looking for recognition?”
GIANTESS :
You seem very proud of your track record.
In that case, I’ll do you a favor.
I’ll have to take this fight more seriously.
LAMORAK :
Huh?
Ah!
( She’s going to⎯ )
GIANTESS :
You little pest. You think yourself to be oh so important.
But your “feats” are illusory.
Human life is worthless.
And you’re not even the best knight.
So what do I have to gain by playing with you?
( disdainful )
NARRATION :
“You know, Lamorak…”
“If you keep trying to be the best,
you’ll soon have cause to regret it.”
ROUND TABLE TRIVIA
Magical creature : the Nuckelavee.
A terrifying sea-dwelling sidhe originating from Orkney. From a distance, it looks like a rider on horseback, skeleton-thin and skinless.
It’s a malevolent creature that preys on crops, spreads disease among livestock and hunts humans.
