BORS :
GALAHAD!
GALAHAD :
Sir Palamedes!
PALAMEDES :
GET BACK!
You’re no match for her!
GALAHAD :
But⎯
[ bors catches galahad by the hand. ]
BORS :
What’s the plan?!
PALAMEDES :
You two go ahead.
I’ll deal with her. Go and look for the others!
BORS :
I'm not leaving you here!
PALAMEDES :
Listen to me!
Arthur’s our priority!
You all have to get to him, now!
BORS :
…Damn it!
[ he sets off at a run. ]
GALAHAD :
NO!
Bors, stop!
PALAMEDES :
If you want to go any further,
you’ll have to go through me.
GIANTESS :
( surprised, then smirks )
If that’s all it takes.
GALAHAD :
Bors!
Bors, we can’t leave her!
If she takes on the giant on her own, she’ll⎯
BORS :
I know!
That’s why we have to find the others!
Because I… I…
I can’t…
do anything…
[ galahad squeezes his hand ]
( Where are they…
Please, let them be alright! )
?? :
HEY THERE!
CAN SOMEONE HEAR ME?!
BORS :
That voice…!
It’s coming from over there…?
TRISTAN :
Bors! :’D
BORS :
Tristan?!
But how did you end up here…?
Are you hurt?
TRISTAN :
I don’t know, but I’m okay.
I just need a hand.
Where are the others?
BORS :
Palamedes is fighting the giantess at the gate…
And the others, I…
I don’t know…
But we need to find Arthur…
TRISTAN :
And let Palamedes take the credit?! Certainly not!
BORS :
( sigh )
Yes, well, before worrying about any of that,
we have to get you out of here!
LAMORAK :
Damn it, I told you to get out of my way!
If not that, you could at least stand and fight!
GIANTESS :
You don’t really believe I’m just going to let you reach Arthur, do you?
He who torments us,
who wants nothing but to see us destroyed⎯
LAMORAK :
Spare me the melodrama.
I know what you are. I’ve heard enough sordid tales about what you do to humans.
You’ve got no consideration for anything that isn’t you.
So I don’t give a shit about your little sto⎯
GIANTESS :
You’re an interesting one.
I’ve seen many, many knights.
They didn’t last very long.
They shook in their own armors.
But you⎯you're a decent fighter.
Are you perchance Lancelot du Lac? Tristan of Lyonesse?
…Gawain of Orkney?
LAMORAK :
I’m Lamorak of Wales.
GIANTESS :
…Never heard of you.
You mustn’t have achieved anything worth telling.
Oh?
Did I strike a nerve?
You know what?
If you prove to be a worthy opponent…
I’ll make an effort and remember your name
after I roast and eat you.
LAMORAK :
You think that⎯
( Shit…
If that's the kind of punch she's packing, her next blow could⎯
She missed!
Wait, the ground’s crumbling!? )
GIANTESS :
You must know how I know your little friends' names, right?
They’ve all killed a giant before.
As for you…
You finally get it.
I can see it in your eyes.
You've realized
that you’re going to die here.
ROUND TABLE TRIVIA
The area around Mount Tombe is known for its quicksands, also called lises (a word that comes from Welsh, which also have us the verb enliser).
[ can’t translate the joke rn but it showcases the use of the verb, with the caption : how to prepare for your death and Chill ]
Quicksand’s viscous texture is caused by the presence of clay : its structure breaks down when stirred, therefore the ground becomes more liquid and you can sink into it.
It’s a very ancient phenomenon, as shown in the Bayeux Tapestry, on which you can see soldiers stuck in the Mont Saint-Michel’s quicksand.
Figures :
“Thanks Harold, you’re a real one.”
“Artax, nooooo!”
The Latin text says “Hic Harold dux trabehat eos de arena”, which means “Here did Duke Harold pull them from the sand”.
