KAY : 

Wait!

Excalibur’s right there.
[ kay begins to climb up. ]

…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 : 

Can'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.

Weaponless, with no armor to speak of… 

…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 tossed out onto that little island you see in the distance.

PALAMEDES : 

Tossed out?!

GIANTESS : 

We can’t keep the scraps of our meals with us on the Mount.

They 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 right now. 

[ we switch over u know how it is i wish they had names ]

GIANTESS : 

Well done.

Truly, I’m surprised.

You’re holding up better than expected, for such a small man.

LAMORAK : 

So I’ve been told.

( This is no good.

The ground's soft, so I spend more time trying not to fall over

than focusing on hitting her. 

Meanwhile, she only has to reach out a little to get a hit in.

It’s exhausting,

and it’s pissing me off. )

GIANTESS : 

Oh, there's murder in your eyes.

Looks like you're getting frustrated.

Still think you can beat me, little knight? 

You, with no great deeds to your name?

LAMORAK : 

I defeated 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 validation?”

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 seriously.

LAMORAK : 

Huh? 

Ah! 

( She’s going to⎯ )

GIANTESS : 

You little pest. You think yourself oh so important.

But your “deeds” are an illusion.

Human life is utterly worthless.

And you’re not even the best knight there is.

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 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.
