The Magic Sword: Quest for Camelot

[Chorale music]

[Cheerful instrumental music]

[Kayley gasps]

KAYLEY:
Come on!

[Kayley giggles]

Father!

- Father, do you really have to go?

- I'm afraid I must, Kayley.

You know the king's knights

will be here soon.

Tell me again why you became a knight.

Kayley, you've heard it a thousand times.

But it's fine, dear.

Well, my daughter, before you were born...

...the land was dark and treacherous.

The people stood divided...

...brother fighting brother.

LIONEL:
The only hope for peace...

...was in the legend of the sword Excalibur.

For it was said that only the true king...

...could pull this magical sword

from its stone...

...and unite the people.

Many tried.

All failed.

Then...

...on the very day that you were born...

...an unexpected hero stepped forth.

His name was Arthur...

[All gasp]

...and he was the true king.

[Dramatic instrumental music]

LIONEL:
With Excalibur at his side...

...he led us out of the darkness...

...and together...

...we built the greatest kingdom on earth.

Everyone rejoiced.

[Traditional folk music]

Camelot!

[Kayley giggles and gasps]

LIONEL:
And so these three rings represent

the unity of our kingdom.

As a knight, I took an oath...

...to protect Camelot, King Arthur...

...and Excalibur.

The knights are here.

LIONEL:
I must go now, Kayley.

The king has summoned his knights

for a special day in Camelot.

Goodbye.

KAYLEY:
I'm coming with you, Daddy!

Yes, when you're old enough, Kayley...

...I will take you to Camelot. I promise.

LIONEL:
I love you!

One day, I will be a knight...

...like Father.

LIONEL:
Let's go!

[Dramatic percussion music]

[lnstrumental folk music

with rhythmic chanting]

KNIGHTS:
[Singing] "United we stand

"Now and forever

"In truth

"Divided we fall

"Hand upon hand

"Brother to brother

"No one shall be greater than all

"United we stand

"Now and forever

"In truth

"Divided we fall

"Hand upon hand

"Brother to brother

"No one shall be greater than all

ARTHUR:
[Singing]

"It's been ten years we celebrate

"All that made our kingdom great

"Liberty and justice

"For all

"Each of us will now divide

"In equal shares, our countryside

"Promising equality

"For all who reside

KNIGHTS:
[Singing] "United we stand

"Now and forever

"In truth

"Divided we fall

"Hand upon hand

"Brother to brother

"No one shall be greater than all"

KNIGHT 1:
Liberty!

Justice!

Trust!

KNIGHT 4:
Freedom!

KNIGHT 5:
Peace!

Honor!

KNIGHT 7:
Goodness!

Strength!

Valor!

RUBER:
[Shouts] Me!

Charming sing-along.

Now let's get down to business.

I've waited a long time for this day.

What about my new land?

Sir Ruber...

...always thinking of yourself.

As Knights of the Round Table,

our obligation is to the people...

...not to ourselves.

ARTHUR:
The lands will be divided

according to each person's needs.

Then I need more than everyone.

I wouldn't have supported you

all these years...

...if I thought you were running a charity.

The king has decided!

Then it's time for the new king...

...and I vote for me.

I will not serve a false king!

Then serve...

...a dead one!

[Ruber yells]

One day that sword will be in my hand...

RUBER:
and all will be mine!

[Knights all talk at once]

KNIGHT 7:
Is he all right?

Sir Lionel?

[Surprised gasp]

[Horses neigh]

Mother, listen.

KAYLEY:
Father!

[Giggles]

[Whispers] No!

Your husband died saving my life...

...and saving Camelot.

Lady Juliana...

...the gates of Camelot

will always be open to you.

Sir Lionel...

...was my most trusted knight...

...and also...

...my dear, dear friend.

We will always remember how

he bravely upheld the ideals of Camelot.

KAYLEY:
[Singing]

"If you were with me now

"I'd find myself in you

"If you were with me now

"You're the only one who knew

"All the things we planned to do

"I want to live my life

"The way you said I would

"With courage as my light

"Fighting for what's right

"Like you made me believe I could

"And I will fly on my father's wings

"To places I have never been

"There is so much I've never seen

"And I can feel his heartbeat still

"And I will do great things

"On my father's wings

"This world I'll never see

"My dreams that just won't be

"This horse's stride with one-day's ride

"Will have covered more distance than me

"And I will fly

"On my father's wings

"To places I have never been

"There is so much I've never seen

"And I can feel his heartbeat still

"And I will do great things

"On my father's wings

"Someday

"With his spirit to guide me

"And his memory beside me

"I will be free

"To fly on my father's wings

"To places I have never been

"There is so much I've never seen

"And I can feel his heartbeat still

"I will do great things

"On my father's wings

"On my father's wings"

[Chickens clucking]

[Light instrumental music]

ARTHUR:
In the ten years

since Sir Lionel's death...

...equality...

...and freedom...

...have spread throughout the lands.

ARTHUR:
Excalibur...

...has given us the strength

to stand together against all injustice.

Camelot has prospered

beyond our greatest dreams.

[Thunderous crashing]

KNIGHT 4:
It's a griffin!

[Griffin growls]

KNIGHT 5:
It's taken Excalibur!

KNIGHT 6:
Arthur is wounded!

Never mind me!

Find Merlin and go after the sword!

[Chaotic yelling]

GUARD 1:
Send word across the land:

Excalibur's been stolen!

Silver Wings...

...protect the sword!

[Dramatic instrumental music]

[Griffin squawks]

[Bugle call sounds in distance]

[Bugle call intensifies]

Excalibur! It's been stolen!

No, absolutely not!

KAYLEY:
But, Mother, Excalibur is missing.

I must go after it.

That's a job for the knights,

not for a young girl.

But I want to be a knight.

I'll go on grand adventures fighting evil,

rescuing damsels in distress.

What is a damsel anyway?

Now, Kayley, stand still

and try on your new dress.

[Kayley moans]

Mother, I don't want a new dress.

I want to save Camelot!

If you'd just let me, I know

I could find Excalibur all on my own.

The knights will find the sword

and they'll do it by working together.

While I'm working here...

...doing the chores, fetching the eggs,

taking care of the house.

Boring!

Where's the glory in that?

Kayley, one day you will learn

what Camelot means.

- Till then, you'll stay here with me.

- All right!

What would you do?

[Chickens clucking]

How am I ever going to do great things

if I'm stuck here...

...with these silly chickens?

[Chicken squawks]

RUBER:
Knock, knock.

Who are you?

Ruber!

Juliana.

I was in the neighborhood

and I thought I'd invade.

How about a little kiss?

I hear you're still single.

Impertinent pig!

Is that a "no"?

JULIANA:
I demand you leave immediately!

So rude!

RUBER:
And after I came all this way

just to see you.

What do you want?

Camelot.

[Sings] "Let's go back to

"War and violence

"I'm so bored

"With peace

[Yells] "And silence!

"Nights of evil filled with fear

"Your worst dream, that's my idea of fun"

You're mad!
