And exits March the second on the dot
By order, summer Iingers
through September
In CameIot
CameIot
I know it sounds a bit bizarre
But in CameIot
That's how conditions are
The rain may never faII
tiII after sundown
By eight the morning fog must disappear
In short, there's simpIy not
A more congeniaI spot
For happiIy-ever-aftering
Than here in CameIot
And I suppose the autumn Ieaves
faII into neat IittIe piIes?
No, My Lady.
They bIow away compIeteIy.
At night, of course.
I know it gives a person pause
But in CameIot
Those are the IegaI Iaws
The snow may never
sIush upon the hiIIside
By nine p.m.
the moonIight must appear
In short, there's simpIy not
A more congeniaI spot
For happiIy-ever-aftering
Than here...
...in CameIot
Look!
There, on the hiII!
I'm truIy sorry, but...
...I'm afraid, on account of me...
...you may be hanged!
Or burnt at the stake for abducting me!
That unciviIized king of yours wiII....
Defend yourseIf!
There she is!
But who's that peasant with her?
The king!
Wart, it's the king!
Your Majesty, forgive me.
I did not know it was you.
The king.
When I was a young Iad
of 18 years of age...
...our good king, Pendragon, died,
Ieaving no one to succeed him...
...but a sword stuck through an anviI
that stood on a stone.
Written on it,
in goId Ietters, it said...
...""Who so puIIeth this sword
from this stone...
...is rightwise born
King of aII EngIand.""
disIodge it, but they faiIed.
So finaIIy, a great tournament was
procIaimed for New Year's Day.
AII the mightiest knights in EngIand
were assembIed at one time to have...
...a go at the sword.
I went to London as squire
to my cousin, Sir Kay.
On tournament day, Sir Kay found
he had Ieft his sword at home...
...and he gave me
Going through London,
I passed a square and saw a sword...
...rising out of a stone.
Not thinking very cIearIy...
...I thought it was a war memoriaI.
...and to save myseIf the trip.
So I...
...took the sword and...
...and I faiIed.
So I tried again.
And I faiIed again.
So, with aII my might,
I cIosed my eyes...
...and I tried...
...one Iast time.
And, Io!
And sIowIy...
...it sIid out of the stone.
I heard...
...a great roar.
I opened my eyes.
The square was fuII of peopIe saying:
""...Long Iive the king!
Long Iive...
...the king.""
That's how I became king.
And since I am,
I've been iII at ease in my crown.
UntiI I dropped from the tree...
...and my eyes...
...beheId you.
And then, for the first time...
...I feIt Iike a king.
I was gIad to be king.
And most astonishing of aII,
I wanted to be the most heroic...
...the wisest, the most...
...spIendid king ever to sit...
...on any throne.
If My Lady wiII foIIow me...
...I'II find a proper companion...
...to accompany you.
I hear it never rains
TiII after sundown
must disappear
In short, there's simpIy not
A more congeniaI spot
For happiIy-ever-aftering
...than here...
...In CameIot
The map of EngIand.
Map, indeed.
A fishnet of iII-begotten kingdoms
ruIed by immoraI Iords...
...battIing with their own unIawfuI
armies over iIIegaI border Iines.
And who is...
...king of this...
...jungIe?
The man who 4 years ago
pIedged he wouId become...
...the greatest king
who ever sat on any throne.
I...
...Arthur of EngIand.
Yes.
The greatest warrior in the Iand.
For what purpose?
Might...
...doesn't aIways mean right.
What are you saying? To be right
and Iose couIdn't possibIy be right.
MerIyn...
...used to frown on battIes.
Yet he aIways...
...heIped me win them.
Why?
Proposition:
Is it far better to be aIive than dead?
Yes, far better.
If that is so...
...then why do we have wars...
...in which peopIe can get kiIIed?
I don't know, do you?
Yes.
Because somebody attacks.
Why do they attack?
Did I ever teII you...
...how MerIyn taught me how to think?
No.
By changing me into animaIs.
Oh, reaIIy! Arthur!
Jenny, I mean by making me beIieve...
...he had changed me into animaIs.
For instance, when a hawk
is up there Iooking down at the worId...
...there are no boundaries.
Right?
Yet boundaries are what
somebody aIways attacks about.
And you win by pushing them
...that doesn't exist.
So we have battIes for no reason at aII.
Why, Jenny, why?
Because Iadies Iove knights.
To see your knight in armor....
That's it, Jenny.
Jenny, that is it!
It's the armor!
It's the armor, Jenny.
The armor.
OnIy the knights are rich enough
to have armor. The foot soIdiers....
WeII, they have nothing.
So, aII that can happen
to a knight is...
...an occasionaI...
...dent.
Proposition:
Right or wrong...
...if they have the might.
So right or wrong, they're aIways right.
That's wrong.
Right?
I'm here.
Suppose we create
a new order of chivaIry?
A new order where
might is onIy used for right.
To improve instead of to destroy.
We'II invite aII knights...
...and kings of aII kingdoms to Iay down
their arms to come and join us.
Oh, yes, Jenny.
And we'II...
...take one of the Iarge rooms
in the castIe...
...put a tabIe in it
and aII the knights wiII gather at it.
And do what?
TaIk across it.
Debate.
Make Iaws.
PIan improvements.
But, Arthur, do you think
aII the knights wiII ever want to...
...to do such a ridicuIousIy
peacefuI thing?
We'II make it a great honor.
Very fashionabIe.
Everyone wiII want to join.
OnIy now...
...the knights wiII whack onIy for good.
Might for right.
Might for right.
Might...
...for right!
That's it, Jenny!
Might....
No, not might is right!
Might...
...for...
...right!
It's very originaI.
And civiIized, Jenny.
It wiII have to be
What of jeaIousy? AII wiII cIaim
superiority and want to sit at the head.
We'II make it...
...a round tabIe.
So there is no head.
A round tabIe!
My father's got one
that wouId be perfect. It seats 150.
He had it as a wedding present
and he never used it.
We'II send the heraIds
Riding through the country
TeII every Iiving person far and near
In aII the worId a spot
Where ruIes a more respIendent king
Than here
In CameIot
CameIot
In far off France
I hear you caII
To you aIone I'II give my aII
I know in my souI
what you expect of me
And aII that and more
I shaII be
ShouId be invincibIe
Succeed where a Iess fantastic man
WouId faiI
CIimb a waII no one eIse can cIimb
CIeave a dragon in record time
Swim a moat
In a coat of heavy iron maiI
No matter the pain
He ought to be unwinceabIe
ImpossibIe deeds
ShouId be his daiIy fare
But where in the worId
Is there in the worId
A man so extraordinaire?
C'est moi, c'est moi
I'm forced to admit
'Tis I
I humbIy repIy
