Dragonheart: A New Beginning Page #2

Oh, come on, Geoff.

Your tunic

doesn't look that bad.

I hate this thing.

Itches and it's

the color of worm vomit.

That's not the color

of my vomit.

The old code

doesn't say anything...

about what you've got to wear

to become a knight.

Well, I've got about as much

chance of becoming a knight...

as I do of convincing you

to come outside.

Friar Peter made me promise

that I would never go outside.

You're a dragon.

Act like one.

Hey.

Here. Allow me.

It's Friar Peter.

Oh, no.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

He can't find you down here.

Hide.

Drake ?

Yes ?

I have sad news.

M-Mansel ?

What ?

What is it ?

Friar Peter is gone.

Where did he go ?

He went to heaven.

Do you know what that means ?

Oh, yes.

Did it hurt him to die ?

I don't think so.

He seemed fine yesterday,

but he was old.

This morning

he just didn't wake up.

He was very fond of you,

you know.

I know I am not

Friar Peter,

but I will do my best

to take care of you.

I promise.

Thank you, Mansel.

[ Groaning ]

I was just talkin'

to him.

I can't believe he--

I don't feel

like talking now.

I'd like to be alone.

[ Whinnies ]

It's that stable boy

from the monastery.

[ Man ]

Oh, let's pay him a visit.

Up. Up. Up.

[ Whinnies ]

Whoa.

Hi. I saw you yesterday.

I'm sorry I didn't stop

to meet you. I'm Roland.

I'm Geoff.

Um, how was the castle ?

Geoff.

Old and stuffy,

but you know how it is.

- Well, I hardly ever

go there anymore.

- You've got a sword.

You want to try

your hand with us ?

Sure.

[ Man Chuckles ]

The stable boy's not bad.

We're just practicing.

[ Screams ]

[ Men Laughing ]

If we weren't practicing,

you'd be dead, stable boy.

Now, lower your eyes.

Peasants should never meet

the gaze of their betters.

[ Men Murmuring,

Laughing ]

- So, this is what

it's like outside.

- Drake !

You had to come out here now,

didn't you ?

I never got to say good-bye

to Friar Peter.

He was the only one

who knew about dragons.

You're lucky to have had him

as long as you did.

But my heart hurts.

You won't feel

this bad forever.

[ Indistinct Chattering ]

Today I make two edicts

in accordance with the old code.

To defend our helpless

and uphold our weak,

those people wearing green,

beige and brown tunics...

must be indoors

one hour after sunset.

Time for

your evening tonic, sire.

And from this day forward,

only the words of truth

will be spoken in our kingdom.

[ Applause ]

Who does Osric think he is ?

Next thing you know, he's gonna

be telling people what to think.

If they wanna

let him do that,

he probably can.

Well, not me.

You're throwing

your tunic away ?

I don't think

that's a very good idea.

- Let's fly away from here.

- But I don't wanna fly.

Of course you want to fly.

What do you think those wings

of yours are for ?

Hmm.

You see those mountains ?

Beyond those are-are

other kinds of people...

and treasure and adventure

and glory.

[ Geoff, Indistinct ]

Hmm ?

[ Kwan ]

So he lives.

The stars didn't lie.

[ Man ]

Those foreigners

had to come back this way.

They can't be far.

Let's split up.

[ Man ]

This way!

[ Geoff Shouting,

Indistinct ]

[ Kwan ]

He's a very young dragon.

We must not allow sentiment

to interfere with our mission.

That boy was

at the monastery.

And then we could come back

and be more famous

than Bowen and Draco.

[ Growling ]

All you have to do is just

open your wings and jump.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm staying right here.

I like it here.

If it's so easy,

you show me

how to do it.

It would have been

better for everybody...

if I was the dragon

and you were the stable boy.

Go ahead.

I'd like to see that.

Stupid dragon.

Oops.

He's got no tunic.

Let me read your minds.

You wanna know why

I'm not wearing my tunic.

Yeah.

Well, let me tell you...

[ Continues, Indistinct ]

- The boy can take us

to the dragon.

- It's a funny story, actually.

You see,

today was the day when...

all the monks

clean the privies.

[ Man ] What's he take us for ?

And old Friar Gustav must have

thought that my tunic...

was a rag or something,

because he used it to wipe up--

Seven lashes

for the tunic...

and ten for the lie.

[ Men Murmuring In Agreement ]

We seem to have

lost our way.

Perhaps you can point us

in the proper direction ?

Lord Osric told you

to get out of town.

Now, the only direction

I'll show you is toward

the castle dungeon.

Take him !

Be gentle with them.

[ Grunting ]

[ Both Grunting ]

[ Man ]

Come on !

[ Screaming ]

You're a girl ?

I'm Kwan.

This is Lian.

[ Men Yelling ]

We should leave

this area.

This way!

Get him !

Drake ! Drake !

I'm being followed.

You gotta hide.

If the guards see us,

we're dead.

Dead ?

Dead ?

I don't wanna die.

What's happening to you ?

Oh, my.

[ Groans ]

After him !

[ Whinnies ]

[ Grunts ]

Hello again.

Nice day to run

the horses, huh ?

Where are the foreigners ?

I don't know.

They disappeared.

No one can just disappear,

unless I make them.

All right. I give up.

Take me to the dungeon now.

You're not getting off

that easy.

[ Screaming ]

[ Roaring ]

[ Screaming ]

I've got you.

It's all right.

Drake, you're flying.

Of course we're flying.

How do you think

we got way up here ?

Ah, this is great.

Let's go up higher.

Hey !

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Okay. Let's swoop down

and scare the villagers.

Oh, no. This is

dangerous enough as it is.

Don't sound so scared.

You've done

the hard part already.

Actually, I think the hard part

is g oing to be getting down !

Everybody, look out !

Next thing I know,

three Teregoths, just me.

What's that up there ?

[ Woman #1 ]

Look at that.

[ Woman #2 ]

A dragon !

[ Gasping ]

Geoff, any ideas,

because I'm g etting tired ?

[ Indistinct Chatter ]

Lean right.

Lean right. No, left.

Whoa ! You have to lean

right too.

Get me the king's

fastest horses.

Look at that. A dragon.

Four days till the coming.

This alters everything.

Flap a little faster.

Whoa ! Too fast.

Slow down !

The prophecy

must surely be true.

First Friar Peter's

sudden passing, and now this.

It's all my fault,

Father.

[ Osric ]

Faster, men. Faster.

[ Groans ]

Would you loosen up ?

I can hardly breathe.

'' Lean farther. Fly faster.

Hold looser.''

- I can't think of

so many things at once.

-J ust slow down, will you ?

[ Screaming ]

[ Geoff ]

I think that was

a little bit too slow.

[ Coughing ]

[ Growling ]

We made it.

You were great.

Great ?

Even though we crashed ?

Absolutely!

You are a natural.

Thanks.

Uh-oh.

[ Men Yelling ]

Who's smart idea was it

to scare 'em ?

Uh, uh, uh, start flapping.

Start flapping !

I can't flap anymore.

I'm exhausted.

[ Angry Shouting ]

[ Growling ]

Watch out.

That got in my eyes.

Did you see that dragon

that just flew by, headed east

toward the mountains ?

Uh, he was big,

wasn't he ?

Sure was fast.

Probably never see him again.

Must be miles away by now.
