Lancelot: Thank you for allowing me, Milady. |
Camelot! Ah me, the chain of wedlock is so heavy that it takes two to carry it. Sometimes three. You poor things. Perhaps we can arrange a little rendezvous for you. |
|
|
Lance! I have it solved. Oh I thought Lance was here Pelly. |
He just left, Your Majesty. He was here with the Queen. |
|
|
You're not a member of this Court. How dare you enter these grounds unannounced! |
But I was announced, Milord. Did the Chamberlain not say there was a young man from Scotland who wished to bring you greetings? |
|
|
And were you not informed all visitors were to return tomorrow afternoon? |
I shall be busy tomorrow night. |
|
|
By jove, what impertinence! He shall be taught a lesson. |
Keep away! Don’t touch me! I’m unarmed! |
|
|
Call the guard, Pelly, and have this young ass thrown out. |
That's not a very kind way to treat the son of Queen Morgause. Yes your majesty I am Mordred. |
|
|
Wait, Pelly. Mordred? |
Your Majesty. |
|
|
I shall be waiting nearby, fi you need me, Arthur. |
I bring you greetings, Your Majesty, from Queen Morgause and King Lot. |
|
|
I trust your mother is well, Mordred? |
Mother is splendid, thank you. As witchy as ever. Still beautiful which of course she would be, with all her magic and sorcery. I’ve been wandering about the castle, I hope you don’t mind. It’s quite grand really. I love the way you mixed English with French, it’s very tasteful. |
|
|
And king lot? |
The king? Never happier. He was so delighted I left. He always hated me you know. Do you know what he did to me once? Mother had a youth potion that took off ten years. When I was 9 he gave it to me to make me MINUS ONE. I kept asking mother why he disliked me so, and she said… |
|
|
What brings you to Camelot, Mordred? |
A desire for blood your majesty. I have quite the family here you know. My dear aunt, Morgan le Fay, whom I have never seen. |
|
|
Nor has anyone else. The castle where she and her court live is quite invisible. It hardly seems reason for making this long journey. |
And then there’s you. Your majesty. As I was saying I kept asking mother why father disliked me so and one day, not long ago, she told me the marvelous news: he’s not my father. How one day when she was visiting England, she met a young and attractive lad named Arthur, whom she then invited to her room and bewitched him for the night. That is the way the story goes, your majesty? |
|
|
Yes. That's the way the story goes, Mordred. |
You can imagine her surprise when later he became the King of al England. |
|
|
*Mordred enters forest* |
Dear aunt Morgan? Dear sweet aunt Morgan? It is I, Mordred, who has come to visit you! Dear aunt Morgan? Am I near your invisible castle? Dear sweet aunt Morgan! Dear sweet queen aunt Morgan! |
|
|
Go away, Mordred. Go away! You were a nasty little boy, and I'm told you've become a nastier little man. |
I beseech you, Your Majesty. Give me amoment of your time. |
|
|
Not now, Mordred. I am eating my dinner and shan't be finished till tomorrow. |
What a pity. I had chocolates. |
|
|
Chocolates? You say you have chocolates? |
Hard candies and caramels… |
|
|
Hard candies and caramels? |
Cherry cremes. With the soft centers. |
|
|
Cherry creams with soft centers? Don't move, my darling nephew! Your darling aunt is on her way. Court! |
Your Majesty. |
|
|
Arise, Mordred. And give me the candy. |
I have your candy, dear aunt, baskets and baskets in sugary profusion, but first, let us discuss what you shall do for me. |
|
|
I shall do nothing for you, nothing at all. Why should I do anything for anyone? I have all I want of life: passionate afternoons, gluttonous nights, and slovenly mornings. |
Very well, then. |
|

|
|
Give me my candy, or I shall go home and continue eating my dining room. |
Eating your dining room? |
|
|
And why not? My chairs are made of vegetable; my table's made of cheese, and my doors are gingerbread. |
And the floor? |
|
|
Roast beef wall to wall, but candy I never get so I desire it most of all. |
Then why should you be denied it? When all I ask is for you to play a prank on King Arthur? |
|
|
King Arthur! Oh, Wart! I used to watch him from my invisible window out walking with Merlyn. He was a dear little boy. No. I don't wish to harm him. |
No harm! |
