The Magic Sword: Quest for Camelot Page #2

I'm so glad you noticed.

RUBER:
I've been working at it for years.

[Sings] "Let Darkness find its sad ways

"Let's go back to good old bad days

"No more foolish acts of kindness

"Arthur and his kingdom

[Cackles] "Will be mine"

And pretty Juliana,

you're going to help me.

I would sooner die!

I think you'll find

you won't be able to resist!

[Cackling]

Mother!

[Ruber giggles]

Don't you dare harm her!

RUBER:
Follow my plan...

...and she won't be hurt.

RUBER:
"Years from now,

no one will bother

"To recall your good King Arthur

"Because all of this

"Will be mine

"This

"Will all be mine

[Sings] "I have a plan, it includes you

"You, Juliana, will lead me to

"Camelot

"Where I will claim all that is mine

"In the back of your wagons

"My men will all hide

"You'll sit up front as the gates open wide

"Now watch me create

"My mechanical army with pride

"With this potion

"I bought from some witches

"A drop on this chicken

"All watch as he switches

"Into a weapon that I can use at will

"Now this chicken

"Can kill"

[Ruber chuckles]

"Behold

"'Bladebeak'

"Step right up and enter quickly

"I'll transform the meek

"And sickly

"Into iron men

"With hands of steel"

RUBER:
Yes, yes, into the water.

Quickly now. Go, you fools!

Next! Stand up straight now!

Move it along!

No, no, that's no good!

RUBER:
Prepare for the dawning...

...of a new age!

The Ruberian Age!

Year One!

[Whispers] Go to Camelot. Warn Arthur.

I won't leave you here.

Kayley, Ruber will be in Camelot

in three days.

Take the main road. Get there before us.

- But, Mother...

- Go...

...while you have the chance. Go, Kayley!

You're our only hope.

Be careful, dear.

[Group chants and cackles]

RUBER:
[Sings] "Only one will be revered

"Worshipped, hated, loved and feared"

[Bladebeak squeals excitedly]

RUBER:
"I'd just like to say a few words:

"'I, me, mine'

"You were mistaken if you believed

"Ruber was someone

who'd crumble and leave

"Now I'm back

"And I will be staying

"This time

"I told you once

"I told you twice

"Everything you see before you

"Every last bit of it

"Will...

"...be...

[Whispers] "...mine...

"...now"

[Ruber cackles eerily]

RUBER:
To the wagons!

Next stop...

RUBER:
Camelot!

[Ruber sighs]

RUBER:
My faithful pet.

How was the flight?

- Panic sweeps across the land.

- Precisely.

- My plan is perfect.

- Precisely.

- Without the sword, Arthur is vulnerable.

- Precisely.

Now Excalibur...

...is mine.

[Griffin grunts]

Here's where we enter a gray area.

Excuse me?

You lost Excalibur?

RUBER:
How?

GRIFFIN:
I was attacked by a falcon.

RUBER:
What?

My magnificent beast outmatched

by a puny, little pigeon?

It wasn't a pigeon.

GRIFFIN:
It was a falcon...

...with silver wings.

Silver wings? Oh, scary.

[Yells] You stupid animal!

Where is the sword now?

In a place of untold danger.

RUBER:
The Forbidden Forest.

GRIFFIN:
Precisely, Master.

Have I told you today...

...how magnificently and totally...

...worthless you are?

RUBER:
Excalibur is the one thing...

...that can keep me

from my conquest of Camelot!

RUBER:
[Yells] No, not the girl!

You, you, and you...

...Fancy-Feet, get after her...

...and bring her back!

And you!

You are going to lead me...

...to Excalibur.

JULIANA:
[Singing]

"I pray You will be my eyes

"And watch her where she goes

"And help her to be wise

"Help me to let go

"Every mother's prayer"

"Every child knows

"Lead her to a place

"Guide her to a place

"Give her faith so she'll be safe

"Lead her to a place

"Guide her with Your grace

"To a place

"Where she'll be

"Safe"

[Horse whinnies]

[Dramatic instrumental music]

KAYLEY:
The Forbidden Forest.

BLADEBEAK:
We're not going

in there, are we?

- Chicken.

- But I got a wife and two eggs at home!

BLADEBEAK:
Hey, don't leave me here!

[Roars]

[Gasps]

GARRETT:
Hey!

That's my net.

[Burps]

[Gasps]

[Splash]

Wow!

That was incredible...

...how you smashed those creatures,

how you avoided that thing.

You're amazing. You're...

...not even listening to me.

Great.

It took me six weeks to make this net.

Net? You saved my life. Thank you.

Well, anyone can make a mistake.

I get it.

This is where King Arthur sends

his unfunny jesters, right?

- And now I'll thank you.

- For what?

For reminding me why I'm a hermit.

Good day.

KAYLEY:
No, wait. What's your name?

It's Garrett.

I'm Kayley.

Why won't you look at me

when I'm talking to you?

I didn't realize you were...

What? Tall?

Rugged? Handsome?

Blind.

You know, I always forget that one.

[Gasps] Moving bush.

[Ayden chirps]

Not now, Ayden.

Look! Your falcon has silver wings.

Really? I'll have to take your word for that.

Oh, no. I'm sorry.

KAYLEY:
It means he knows

where Excalibur is.

Sure he does. In Camelot.

You know... big castle, lots of flags.

No, it's somewhere in the forest.

Ruber has stolen it

and he's taken my mother hostage.

That's why I'm here!

KAYLEY:
I must find the sword

and return it to Arthur...

...or Camelot and my mother are doomed.

[Ayden chirps]

Excalibur is here?

Right. We're going after it.

Great!

Not you. Me and Ayden.

We work alone.

I see no reason why I can't come along.

[Singing] "I know the sound

of each rock and stone

"And I embrace what others fear

"You are not to roam

"In this forgotten place

"Just the likes of me are welcome here

"Everything breathes

"And I know each breath

"For me it means life

"For others it's death

"It's perfectly balanced

"Perfectly planned

"More than enough

"For this man

"Like every tree

"Stands on its own

"Reaching for the sky

"I stand alone

"I share my world

"With no one else

"All by myself

"I stand alone

"I've seen your world

"With these very eyes

"Don't come any closer

"Don't even try

"I've felt all the pain

"And heard all the lies

"But in my world

"There's no compromise

"Like every tree

"Stands on its own

"Reaching for the sky I stand alone

"I share my world

"With no one else

"All by myself

"I stand alone

"All by myself

"I stand alone

"All by myself

"I stand alone"

KAYLEY:
I stand alone, too.

Ayden.

I just need your help this once.

All right, all right!

GARRETT:
But don't give me any trouble.

It's a fine mess you've gotten us into,

Ayden.

Hey, this isn't so bad!

KAYLEY:
I don't know why you made

such a fuss.

I've had a tougher time collecting eggs.

Trouble, trouble, trouble...

...with a capital "T."

RUBER:
You wretched,

mythological moron!

Where did you drop the sword?

It all looks so different from down here.

[Bladebeak squeals]

You! Report!

The girl and the blind warrior...

...are following a silver-winged falcon...

...who knows where Excalibur is.

[Whispers] They'll lead us right to it.

We're going after them!

You lookin' at me?

You lookin' at me?

[Dramatic instrumental music]

GUARD:
Come on, men!

We must repair this tower.

Merlin, is there any news?

[Gasps] Have the knights found Excalibur?

I'm afraid not.

Then I'll go after it myself.
