The Sorcerer's Apprentice Page #6

Synopsis: Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage) is a master sorcerer in modern-day Manhattan trying to defend the city from his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina). Balthazar can't do it alone, so he recruits Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel), a seemingly average guy who demonstrates hidden potential, as his reluctant protégé. The sorcerer gives his unwilling accomplice a crash course in the art and science of magic, and together, these unlikely partners work to stop the forces of darkness. It'll take all the courage Dave can muster to survive his training, save the city and get the girl as he becomes The Sorcerer's Apprentice.

to understand.

Okay. The first thing you should know

about me is that I'm a sorcerer.

Okay.

I can conjure and shoot plasma bolts

out of my hand.

I can speed time up, slow it down,

varying degrees of levitation.

It's all very magical.

And I thought my last boyfriend

was different 'cause he wore a scarf.

- Baby, I'll just come back. Okay?

- Okay.

- I'll see you in a minute.

- Okay. All right. I'm here.

Bad time, Dave.

Bennet. Thank God you answered.

I got a real emergency on my hands.

I need you to meet me

at my lab right now!

- Becky, I got to let you out.

- What? Let me out?

Okay.

I think I know how to defeat them

without any magic.

How?

The rings on Horvath's cane.

He put them there to gain more power,

but they make him a better conductor.

Dave, I have no idea

what you're talking about.

All right, Rebecca, here it is.

Many evil sorcerers will be

raised from the dead tonight.

So, basically, Morgana is trying

to destroy the world as we know it.

Oh, just that.

This is really dangerous.

I can't bring you into it.

Well, I think I'm already into it.

And besides, if you blow it,

we're all gonna die anyway, right?

I want to come with you.

You're sexy.

- I got all the Tesla coil remotes.

- Thanks, brother. I appreciate it.

Oh! I found this after we hung up.

It was on the desk.

"Give this to Veronica. Balthazar."

I don't think Balthazar's planning

on coming back.

I don't know

what you're into here, Dave,

but whatever it is,

you are definitely participating!

Thank you, Bennet. I appreciate that.

We should go.

Now is The Rising.

Now is the time.

Veronica.

It's me, Horvath. Morgana.

No need to look so pathetic.

Destroy that thing.

I never want to see it again.

I cannot raise the dead

until the circle is complete.

- No way. Man alive!

- What?

Are you telling me

you honestly don't see that?

No. See what?

I think they're using the satellite dishes

on the tops of the buildings

to direct and amplify

the electromagnetic energy.

All right, we're pulling over.

We're pulling over.

Becky, I need you to do me a favor.

I need you to go up

to the very top of that thing.

Great.

You got to move that antenna

and just disrupt the signal.

Okay. Right.

Hey, Becky.

Do you remember that letter I wrote

when we were 10 years old?

Friend or girlfriend?

I never saw what you checked,

so in case I die tonight,

could you please tell me?

Don't die and I'll tell you.

Oh, yeah, okay.

Balthazar.

- Enough of your old tricks, Balthazar.

- As you wish.

Time was, things were pretty even

between us, Balthazar.

As you can see,

I've acquired some new jewelry.

I'm coming, buddy.

I'm coming. I'm coming.

All right, what... What is this?

What am I looking at? No!

And a walker. Of course she has a...

Okay.

Oh, boy.

A matador gored by a bull

can take up to three days to die.

Sounds unpleasant, doesn't it?

The circle is nearly complete.

It must be awful, Balthazar.

All these years,

fighting to stop this one moment

and then coming up short.

That's my car.

Oh!

Thank you!

We're too late.

Veronica.

Is she...

They're both still with us.

Balthazar, what have you done?

What you did for me.

- Remember your promise.

Balthazar, no.

You'll do whatever it takes

to destroy Morgana.

No. No, I can't.

I won't lock you in this thing.

Neither will I.

How sweet.

Oh, man.

- And now we end this.

- No!

No way.

No ring.

It is you.

The Prime Merlinean!

Fools!

Veronica!

Now it's my turn.

Is that the best that you can do?

I sure hope not.

And now it's my turn.

Come on.

Climb.

You have Merlin's powers,

but you don't have his strength

or his skill.

You are still weak.

But I'm not alone.

I brought a little science with me. Now!

I did it! Balthazar, I actually did it!

He's gone.

He completed his quest.

No, no, no, no.

It's not over. He can't die.

I just... Not now.

Come on.

That's not good enough.

Veronica, would you please step back?

If Morgana can stop his heart,

maybe I can start it.

All right, here we go, bud.

Here we go. Listen.

You... You with all your stupid rules!

And all those old man shoes.

And your constantly saving me

with that look in your eyes.

Come on!

Come on.

I had a dream.

You were insulting me, Dave.

Repeatedly.

Me? That's pretty weird, huh?

No, kind of makes sense.

Yeah.

- Thank you.

- Welcome back, old man.

You're here.

Dave!

- You did it!

- I know. And I'm still alive.

And, surprisingly, so am I.

I know. Oh, the note. Right.

- Friend or girlfriend?

- I don't care.

Girlfriend. Definitely girlfriend.

Would you like to have breakfast

with me? In France?

France?

Yeah, I got us a ride.

Okay, you're fun.

Becky, there's something I forgot

to mention to you.

I really have no idea

how to land this thing.
