Does this mean I don't have

to do dishes tonight, my liege?

- Come on, let's go.

- No, no, hand weapons.

Your choice.

- Joe.

- Don't put up the rail.

- Here you go.

- Don't put up the rail.

What the hell's going on around here?

- I can't raise my arm, Merlin.

- Sit right down there.

Aah!

- Hey, they getting too rough out there.

- Sh*t, it's out of control.

Well, er... Rocky and Ban

seem to be a Little...

What difference does it make?

Trumpets!

Are you leaving with the rest of them?

No.

Would you get back up there, please?

OK.

Thanks.

I'll go in for you, if you want.

You'd do that for me, wouldn't you?

Sure.

I won't be nearly as good as you.

My God.

Music! Music! Music!

Music! Music! Music! Music!

All right, come on, you guys.

Start the music, huh? Let's go.

- Music! Music!

- Come on, look ailve, look ailve.

Noble knights.

These brave fighters.

Brave fighters who...

They're gonna kill each other.

God damn.

It's two years' worth of grudges,

Morgan. It's their last shot.

- They're crazy.

- Yeah, they are. They're crazy.

You see,

that's what makes them sellable.

She won! Rocky won!

My lords and...

Oh, my God, the bike.

The bike!

Jennifer!

Come on, get back, get back.

Oh, Jesus!

Somebody get me a stretcher!

Ladies and gentlemen, please!

Everything is under control.

Please, now... now just stay

where you are.

Get back! Come on! Get back!

Normally, we do invite poeple from the

town to compete against the knights,

but obviously today we will not do that.

You guys picked

the wrong day to get cute.

Let's go play too, huh?

This is your lucky day, sweetheart.

I got a lot of energy after a big fight.

- Oh, I'm counting on that.

- Mm-hm.

- All right.

- Come on, let's go, let's go.

Stay out of this, Morgan.

I'm gonna take care of this one myself.

Go for it!

Give me my lance. Thank you.

If we get out of this ailve,

will you be my lover?

Yes!

Well, we just married on radio.

Oh!

- I got this guy!

- No, Alan.

I've been waiting for this guy

for a long time, man.

He can't fight! He's hurt bad.

Take me!

Jesus, Billy! What are you doing?

If you refuse to fight, then yield!

Get off the field! This battle is mine!

I'm not gonna fight you!

What the hell's the matter with you?

Holy sh*t! Is that real?

All right, damn it! Come on!

Yield.

I don't want to hurt you any more.

You have to yield.

Oh! Are you OK?

Give him some water. Here, sip.

Look at me. Oh.

Blood.

Sh*t.

I just need some time, Lin.

I gotta get out of here for a while.

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

I just need to take a ride.

Sheriff was by.

Said that woman's gonna be all right.

Well, thank the Lord for something.

What's the matter, Steve?

You afraid the premium was going up?

Beat the blackbird, magician.

Kicked his round ass square.

Don't know if you beat him.

Did they go?

We'll just have to wait and see.

Steve? If you would...

could you find out, er...

how long we can stay here?

How much it'd cost us?

- Sure.

- Thanks.

- How you doing, Luke?

- I don't believe it!

- I just don't believe it!

- Sam, how you doing?

- Hi, Alan.

- You guys look great.

- Yeah?

- You look just great.

Who are these guys?

Well, that's Dylan and this is Morgan.

Oh, wow. Another Morgan.

That's all we need, man.

Geez, I haven't seen you guys

since I left St Vincent's.

I didn't even know

if you'd still be up here for sure.

Oh, we're here forever.

Well, we're here for a couple of days.

- Think you can handle it?

- Sure.

Do you think we can handle that?

Come on inside. Come on.

- Aah!

- Come on.

- See you guys later.

- Yeah, all right.

Come on in here.

Oh, nice, nice.

I give you a three-five, Morgan.

And he can dive, too?

Give me... dope!

Don't get it wet.

Hey! All right!

Hey! What is going on here?

- What is this?

- This is it!

This is decadent.

This is Washington DC decadence.

- I love it.

- All right!

- Did I promise you good times?

- You did!

- You did so!

- Well, OK! Well, OK!

Say hi to Jeannie over here.

That's Sheila.

- That's Judy.

- Hi!

- That's Tuck.

- Looking good.

- And there's Morgan.

- I'm going inside.

- Well, come on in.

- Yeah, in a minute.

Would you fix me a drink, please?

- What would you like?

- Anything. Triple anything.

Hey. Er... saw the armour. It looks great.

It's not gonna be ready for a couple

of weeks, though. It doesn't matter.

I got a great suit for you

for tomorrow for the photo session.

That's AM, paisan.

I want you awake and looking good.

He always looks good.

Hey, er... and everything's OK

with the bikes, too.

Take deilvery on Wednesday.

Wait till you see 'em.

Gorgeous. Custom designed.

Wait till you see the Hummers, man.

Morgan, before you go,

what I need from you is your signature

on just a few documents.

Insurance forms.

It's just so you don't sue us

if you fall off your bike, you know?

You got workman's comp there.

I'll talk to you later, all right?

Hey, Joe.

Look at this. You see this?

We had a child while you were gone.

Say hi to Joe. He's the boss.

Baby love Joe!

Joe smooth!

I gotta get rid of Tuck.

Oh, Jesus.

You really are a hunk.

Oh, God. I wish he wasn't coming back.

Er... you wish he wasn't coming back?

Louis, the guy I ilve with.

Ah!

Now what the hell did you expect?

You didn't think I could afford

all this myself, did you?

Need a Little attitude right here.

Quiet, please. Look that way.

Yeah, look up here.

Look at him like he's real hot.

He is real hot.

Morgan,

you look right in here, OK?

Hey, Morgan,

when's our turn, man?

Now don't be greedy, now.

Morgan. Morgan, please concentrate.

Thank you.

- What are you doing after the shot?

- OK, everybody think medieval sex.

How come Judy can't shoot this stuff?

But Judy can shoot this stuff.

There's no point

in Judy shooting this stuff.

This is not documentary work.

What she does is documentary work,

which is...

This is studio work. This is...

- You've done studio, haven't you?

- Uh-huh.

- What do you think of it?

- I love my work.

Well, look at it. It's porn. That's...

Look, see, they're set-up shots.

That's just... that's controlling the

environment. That's not real life, hm?

That's not real life.

- There'll be work, all right?

- Mm. OK.

- Trust me. Trust me.

- Mm-hm, I trust you. Yeah, OK.

Great shot!

It's a pity there's just emptiness

But with sorrow there comes joy

And I would rather die in a hurricane

Than to never know the storm...

Fears I know, I face them

As my castle walls will fall

Oh, but I would let

Those castles tumble

Or I'd never love at all...

- Keep playing.

- New song.

It's not finished yet.

I'll play it for you some day.

- Do you mind if I sit down?

- Please.

How long are we gonna stay here?

The rent's paid.

It's a nice place.

Till they come back.

- You think they're coming back?

- Yes.

I don't know, man.

Maybe some of them.

They'll all come back.

Well...

I know it's important to me, like

Aside from this series, his works include The Crazies (1973), Martin (1978), Creepshow (1982), Monkey Shines (1988), The Dark Half (1993) and Bruiser (2000). He also created and executive-produced the 1983–88 television series Tales from the Darkside. Romero is often noted as an influential pioneer of the horror-film genre, and has been called an "icon" and the "Father of the Zombie Film". more…
