George and the Dragon Page #5

Synopsis: The first crusade to free the Holy Land has ended. A mass of weary knights, squires, soldiers of fortune and priests are making their way home across a Europe that has changed forever. George, a handsome English knight, unsettled by the horrendous bloodletting he witnessed in Palestine, desires to hang up his sword and settle down to a quiet, peaceful life. On returning to England, George heads north where he's heard the land is good and the population sparse and of a kindly King named Edgaar. He finds King Edgaar in a terrible state. His beautiful daughter, Lunna has recently disappeared. In return for a small plot of land, George agrees to search for Princess Lunna. With Edgaar's faithful servant, Elmendorf, George sets out. George discovers both the princess and the truth behind her strange disappearance. The quest now set before them ends in a love, a lie and a legend that has lasted a thousand years.

Come on, come on!

Elmendorf!

There, that should hold them.

Be careful.

Already has its teeth.

You see?

What did l tell you, eh?

Maybe it's allergic to you.

-May l?

-Gently. Don't go near its mouth.

Smite!

Soldiers! Get them!

Smite!

Wryn, blow the horn!

We make a good team,

you and l.

We did.

We can again.

Rule with me, George.

l'd rather eat liquorice,

thank you.

Then so be it.

Not so fast.

Try again.

lt's working.

Smite!

George!

The trouble with you, Princess,

is you always need rescuing.

Hold that.

lf you need any more help,

just ask.

l'm so sorry.

Sorry, sir!

Who are you with?

No, who are you with?

Wrong answer!

Could you please hold my sword?

Thank you.

l'm an innkeeper. l'll give you

free ale for a year!

Fresh pies every Friday!

You are a very good team,

aren't you?

Sister!

He's not, he's not going down.

Oh, no!

Oh my God, Elm!

lt wasn't meant

to turn out like this.

Very tired.

But knowing there's someone

to watch over you

makes this a little easier.

Wryn.

l can think of no one

more worthy

to take my place

as guardian of

the king's household.

You'll grow into it.

Adelaide!

Dragon!

Dragon!

-Father!

-God, my child.

l'm sorry l've caused you

so much worry.

Where's George?

George?

Where's George?

-Something's fallen against it.

-George!

The lance!

lt was no fairy tale.

Rabbits and radishes,

rabbits and radishes...

Holy Father,

forgive me for what

l am compelled to do.

l will try to make this

as painless as possible.

Please, George, you didn't.

To George!

The dragon slayer!

You saved us aII.

You're truIy a saint, George.

God was on our side today.

l think AIIah doesn't pick sides

when men are killing each other.

l believe that you're right,

Tarik.

-He was a good man.

-A very good man.

But l don't think l'll ever be

able to take his place.

lt's such a big ring.

-I'II stay with you until then.

-You will?

l'll teach you

everything l know.

My lance!

Father.

-After all these years...

-Forgive me.

l'm so sorry l ever doubted you.

Oh, my boy.

Only you deserve

to wear this now.

Thank you.

Lunna!

Take my horse.

Good Iuck.

l think l may need it.

A perfect fit.

I can do this.

Be calm, young knight.

This is a battle

George must face alone.

Garth!

Come on!

No, come on!

Come on!

Lunna, keep riding!

Come on!

There is something you should

know about me, George.

l am not a good loser.

You were right

to be afraid of me.

George! George!

George? George?

You didn't kill her.

l can't believe

you did that for me.

I did it because of you.

Your absurd ideas...

your unique understanding

of creation

began to make sense to me.

No one knows what a hero

you really are.

No one can know about this.

If people should find out that

they're still alive,

they'll stop at nothing

to kill them.

This must be a secret.

A secret between them...

and us.

What are you going to do

with that?

No one must ever find this.

George...

l heard there was a unicorn

just near GIastonbury.

No, no, no.

No unicorns, no sea monsters

and certainly no more dragons.

We could just check it out.

lt's on the way.

Get your horse.

l believe l need you

beside me.

For sure,

l believe you never deny thee...

And it comes to life or death.

Before l'm breathing

my last breath,

l want you to know.

For me,

it will always be...

Action!

Action!

Action!

Action!

-You're a Moor.

-Yes, l am. Been one for years.

You're a Moor.

And a big one at that.

-You're a Moor.

-l am a Moor. My mother was a Moor.

B camera!

Three, two, one.

Action!

Action!

The only thing l'll be witnessing

is your certain death if less...

Keep rolling!

Okay, can we concentrate now,

please? Here we go. Still.

And action!

The only thing l'll be witnessing

is your certain death... l'm sorry.

Thank you.

Action!

Your absurd ideas,

your unique understanding of...

Sorry.

What is wrong with you?

The horse doing a turd.

lt was in my peripheral vision.

I'm really sorry.

l could pave this entire

country with gold.

l'm sorry, sir, it took

a little longer than we thought.

Action!

Still now, please.

No one must ever find this.

ldiot.

Thank you.

Have you both lost leave

of your senses?

Sorry, can we go...

What news,

my Lord de Gurney?

None yet, your...

My...

Sorry.

...so relieved that you've...

lt's an egg.

Camera mark. Keep rolling.

Action.

l can arrange

an introduction with...

Can't l say ''a meeting''?

I can arrange a meeting...

or an introduction

with the king if you like.

-Lord de Gurney.

-George of...

That's it, l can't take any more off

than this without help.
