King Arthur Script Organized
Once upon a time, in the Great Land of England, /// there lie, a great
and powerful man named Uther Pendragon, a man full of lust and
pride who fell in love with a woman named Igraine… the wife of the
Great King of England, // King Gorlois. Even while knowing this,
Uther Pendragon was persistent in taking Igraine with him, thus
creating a war between him, and King Gorlois.
The King of England tried to hide Queen Igraine away from him, but
Uther Pendragon had devised a mischievous plan, where a powerful
wizard disguises Uther Pendragon himself as King Gorlois. /// He
commanded Sir Ulfius to run out and find a wizard that will fulfill his
plan. // Sir Ulfius rode out on his horse and traveled far and wide
until he finally found a wizard powerful enough to do the magic.
Sir Ulfius brings back the wizard and used the magic on Uther
Pendragon. /// After he was disguised, Uther Pendragon sleeps with
Igraine and had a child together.
///
And while a war was wreaking havoc all over the land, King Gorlois
fell to one of Uther Pendragon’s men. /// Thus making Uther
Pendragon marry Igraine, and is now declared as the new king of
England. // But, for using the powers of the wizard, King Uther now
has to give up his newborn baby to the magic wizard named Merlin
to fulfill their deal.
The baby was called Arthur, and Merlin gives the baby to Sir Ector to
take care of it, along with his own child named Kay. Soon Enough,
King Uther Pendragon passed away, and no one could hold the
throne as great as he did. A sword stuck engraved in stone was
lately discovered, and it was declared that whoever shall lift up the
sword in the stone… will be declared as the rightful and true king of
England.
Sir Ector: (narrating) And below the hilt in letters of gold were
written these words: "Whose pulleth out
this sword of this stone and anvil is likewise king born of England."
Though many tried for the sword with
all their strength, none could move the sword nor stir it. Then the
miracle had not worked and England was
yet without a word, and in time, the marvelous sword was forgotten.
This was a dark age, without law and
without order. Men lived in fear of one another for the strong preyed
upon the weak.
(In a dark forest)
Kay: Quiet, Wart.
Arthur: I'm trying to be.
Kay: nobody asked you to come along in the first place.
Arthur: I'm not even moving.
Kay: Shut up.
(Spots a doe)
Aha! Here we go. Oh, what a setup.
(preps a bow and arrow)
Right smack through the old gizzard.
(aims at the doe)
Arthur: Whoa, wh-oh!
(falls off the tree and lands on the man, causing the arrow to fly high
into the air as the doe retires)
Kay: Why, you clumsy little fool!
(starts chasing Wart)
Arthur: Kay, please, I'm sorry. I couldn't help it. Please.
Kay: If I ever....
(trips over a log that Wart jumped over)
If I ever get my hands on you, I’ll be sure to smack my bow directly
to your head. NOW GET THE ARROW!
Arthur: OKAY! I'll get the arrow, Kay. I'm sure I can find it.
Kay: Oh.
(laughing)
Don't warn me you're going in there. Why, it's swarming with
wolves.
Arthur: I'm not afraid.
(walks deeper into the forest)
Kay: Well, go ahead. It's your skin, not mine. Go ahead, go ahead.
(Later, Wart is searching for the arrow while a wolf spots and stalks
him)
Arthur: (spots the arrow high in a tree)
There it is!...
(much more worried)
oh… there it is…
(carefully climbs up the tree, and as he tries to reach the
arrow) (cuts to merlin’s house)
Whoa! What…oh!
(falls right through Merlin's roof, into the chair arranged for him)
(Merlin’s House)
Merlin: Well. hello, did you drop in for some tea, lad?
(checks his pocket watch)
hmm, you are a bit late, you know.
Wart: Oh, I-I am?
Merlin: Yes, my name is Merlin.
(pours the hot water into the teapot)
Come, come, who are you, my lad?
Arthur: Oh, my name's Arthur, but everyone calls me Wart.
Merlin: Oh I see.
Arthur: (sees Archimedes looking silent)
Woah, what a perfect stuffed owl!
Archimedes: (stutters, shocked)
Stuffed? Well, I-I beg your pardon!
Arthur: He's alive! And he speaks?
Archimedes: And certainly a great deal better than you do so.
(flies into his birdhouse)
Merlin: Oh, come on, Archimedes.
I’d like you to meet the Wart.
Now, you must forgive him. For he’s only a boy.
Archimedes: Boy? Boy!
(chuckling)
Well, I see no boy.
Arthur: Oh, I'm sorry that I.....
Merlin: That's alright.
(chuckling)
He's much too sensitive.
Archimedes: Sensitive? Right? Who? What? What?
(Merlin pours Wart some tea)
Arthur: How did you know that I was…
Merlin: Oh, that you would be dropping in? Well… I happen to be a
wizard. A soothsayer, a prognosticator if you’d call it. And I have the
power to see into the future— Centuries to the future! I've even
been there, lad, and I've seen all these facts.
(sets up bulletin board)
(gestures to plans and models)
They're only plans and small models, of course, you know.
(takes a train model)
Now this, for instance, is a steam locomotive.
(Merlin pours tea into the model, and with a push, it moves on its
own)
Merlin: (laughing)
There she goes. Pretty good, right?
(Wart turns the model around and picks it up)
Merlin: Now, that won't be invented for hundreds of years!
Arthur: Oh. You mean you can see everything before it happens?
Merlin: Yes, everything.
Archimedes: Ah, ah, ah, ah! Everything, Merlin?
Merlin: Uh…no, no, not everything. I, uh, I admit I didn't know whom
to expect for tea. But as you can see.....
(gestures to the hole in his roof)
I figured the exact place!
(inadvertently whacks Wart in the head)
Arthur: (scratches whacked part)
You're very clever, sir.
Merlin: Yes. Well, never mind the----the- sir thing. Just, uh, plain
Merlin will do so.
(puts cookie bowl closer to Wart)
(Wart starts munching)
Now, then Have you had any schooling?
Arthur: (munching on tea cookies)
Oh, yes! I'm training to be a squire.
kkkkokkokopooklArthur: I'm learning the rules of combat and
swordsmanship…and jousting and horsemanship.
Merlin: (gets more condescending)
Ahhh, yes, yes, very good. That-that is--uh-what? no, no, no! I mean
a real education. Mathematics, history, biology, natural science?
English, Latin, French…
Merlin: Boy… you can't grow up without a decent education, you
know.
Arthur: Oh, I suppose not, sir- um, Merlin.
Merlin: Well, I am going to be your tutor.
Arthur: But I have to get back to the castle. They'll want me in the
kitchen.
Merlin: Oh, well, then, very well.
(takes a suitcase)
We'll pack and be on our road.
(Magic Part)
Merlin: Everyone! Gather Around! Lets show the boy how we do stuff
around here!
Narrator: As Merlin shouts and points to a section of his house, all of
the items in that specific area, magically starts moving. He points to
another direction, and another one, and then ANOTHER ONE! And all
of his things began to move, and then after levitating all of his stuff
— he points to his suitcase, and all of his items, furniture, and
books, goes directly inside the neverending suitcase.
Merlin: AHA!
Ector: You-
(coughs)
You mean...you mean he'll be king of all England?
Pellinore: King of all England.
Ector: Kay, lad, did you hear that?
Kay: Pretty fair prize, I'd say.
Ector: Yes, and you can win it, boy, if you knuckle down to your
training. And we'll have you knighted by Christmas and off to
London. What do you say?
Kay: Sure. Why not? Why not?!
Ector: Wart, lad, how'd you like to go to London?
Wart: Oh, Sir Ector, you mean it?
Ector: If you stick to your duties, you can be Kay's squire.
Wart: Oh, I will, sir. I will.
(trips, while spilling the dishes; but Ector and Pellinore laugh)
Kay: I don't want the Wart for my squi—
Ector: (Shouts and cuts Kay off)
Here's to London! And here's to Kay! And here's to the banner of the
Castle of the Forest Savage!
(Archimedes flies back)
Ector: Cheers!
Pellinore: Cheers, cheers.
Ector: Cheers!
[training of kay]
(Grassland)
Narrator : The day was beginning to fall, they had arrived to the
grasslands and began training Kay for the upcoming tournament this
new years.
Can't you remember one thing? Tight grip on the horse. Loosen the
saddle, knees in tight. Weight forward.
and stay on target.
Pellinore: It's not about power, son. Jousting is, uh, uh, a fine skill.
It's a highly developed science!
Merlin: That boy's got real spark. Throws his heart and soul into
everything he does. That's really
worth something if it can only be turned in the right direction.
[Fish scene]
(Grassland)
Narrator : After some while Merlin had tried to practice his magic on
dear Arthur.
Arthur: Oh, you see. I'm an orphan, and a knight must be of proper
birth. I only hope that I'm worthy to be Kay's squire.
Arthur: Really? You can turn yourself into a fish? Could you turn me
into a fish?
Archimedes: MERLIN!
Merlin: Yes... uh
Well never mind. Every flick of a fin creates movement. So, first we'll
start with a caudal fin.
(Merlin Wiggles Tail)
(Arthur wiggles fin)
No, no, boy. Your tail. Tail. Now, now, that gives you the forward
thrust now. Come on. Let's get a rhythm. Right, left.
Right, left. One, two.
(Song)
Left and right Like day and night That's what makes the world go
'round In and out Thin and stout
That's what makes the world go 'round For every up there is a down
For every square
Arthur: There is a round?(not singing)
Merlin: Yes..haha . For every high
Arthur: There is a low?(not singing)
Merlin: Fro.
Arthur: Fro.
Merlin: Yes, fro. To and fro, stop and go That's what makes the world
go 'round In and out Thin and stout you must...
Set your sights upon the heights Don't be a mediocrity
Arthur: Mediocrity?
Merlin: That's right. Don't just wait and trust to fate And say that's
how it's meant to be It's up to you
how far you go If you don't try you'll never know And so, my lad as
I've explained Nothing ventured nothing
gained.
Arthur: For every to there is a fro For every stop there is a go And
that's what makes the world go 'round
Arthur:(May frog na kakagat sa tail ni arthur) Oh, let go, let go, let
go! Oh, you big, bug-eyed bully, you!
Merlin: Who, me? Oh, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, now,
boy. There's no sense in going around insulting bullfrogs.
A fish has plenty of other problems without that. The water world
has its forests and its jungles too. So it has its tigers and its wolves.
And that, eh, ah... That's what makes the world go 'round Yousee,
my boy it's nature's way (pa sing) Upon the weak the strong ones
prey In human life it's
also true The strong will try to conquer you And that is what you
must expect Unless you use your intellect Brains and brawn Weak
and strong
Merlin: No, no. You're on your own, lad. Now's your chance to prove
my point.
Merlin: He's the brawn and you're the brain. Oh, now, don't, don't,
don't panic! You use your head. Outsmart the big brute.
(Arthur baits the shark and Dodges the shark)
Smart move, lad!
That's using the old intellect.
(picks up an arrow and throws it at the shark)
.....Bravo, boy! Great strategy!
Merlin: Okay, lad, I'll fix the big brute. Higgeldy piggeldy... No, no.
Hocus pocus... Now, what in blaze... Eh...
(the shark gets up and starts chasing arthur again)
Arthur: Merlin!
(Archimedes sees arthur getting chase)
Archimedes: Now what? Oh, it's, it's that, that boy! Wh-Wh-What in
b-blazes!
Arthur Merlin!
Merlin: Oh! Oh, there you are, boy. Snick snack snorum!
(Arthur turns back to normal)
How in the world did you ever get out of that mess?
Arthur: I've gotta go. Thank you, Merlin. It was so much fun.
Archimedes, I, l...
(fastforward)
Arthur: We were doing fine until we got in deep water. Then along
comes this huge pike with big jaws and sharp, jagged teeth.
Sir Ector: And, boy, that's the biggest fish story I ever heard.
Arthur : For every high there is a low, for every two there is a frow,
two and go, stop and go, that's what makes the world go round
Arthur : Oh no it's that, it's just that I've got six demerits, all this
work to do.
Merlin : No one will know the difference, who cares as long the work
is done.
Merlin : Come on son, lets go, lets go.
[Settings : Forest]
Merlin: Now, first you start with the short jumps, engage the
distance carefully and go— woah oh! Oh there you see,
even then you can miss. So, dont take gravity too lightly or it'll catch
up to you.
Merlin : Yes it's like a stumble on it, no no no no it's the force that
pulls you downward, the the
phenomenon that any two material particles or bodies if free to
move will be accelerated toward each other.
Arthur : Why?
Merlin : (Chuckles) Well well well, that's new to the game but I'm
afraid there's no time to explain.
Merlin : You're on your own lad, I'm afraid magic can't solve this
problem.
Arthur : Okay look, I'm not a squirrel, I'm a boy. A human boy! I'm
not a real squirr—
Arthur : Ow!
Merlin : Oh I'm afraid you're stuck mad, well when a girl chooses a
mate its for life.
Merlin : Well it's, see the, it's a state of being frame of fine it's a
mostly funneling thing and to every being
and every kind it is discombobulating, you're wasting time, resisting,
you'll find the more you do, the more she'll
keep insisting a him, has, got to be you!
Arthur : (trips)
Merlin : Haha!
Merlin: Really, now, Miss, uh... Madam. I, uh... You, you, you've
made a mistake. Now, now, now, please. Please, you...
(the old female squirrel grabs merlin's tail)
Oh! Madam! Madam!
(shouts)Now, look here. I am not a boy. I, I mean, I'm not a squirrel.
I'm a…No! No. I'm, I'm—
(the old female squirrel tickles Merlin)
No! I'm an old man. An old human. Understand?
Oh, hang it all. Now, go away. Shoo, shoo.
(the old female squirrel pushes him very hard) OW!
(the old female squirrel grabs his tail again) confound it! Confound it
all!
Arthur: Merlin, I'm tired of being a squirrel. It's nothing but trouble.
(Arthur was running but suddenly trips and see the wolf)
Whoa, what... Help, Merlin! Help!
(the female tries to distract the wolf to her and then circles around
the wolf to take arthur off the ground)
Merlin: I've had enough of this nonsense! Alakazam!
(oldfemale squirrel screams)
There. You see? I'm an ugly, horrible, grouchy old man!
(Merlin sees arthur still getting flirted by the female squirrel)
Arthur: Merlin!
Arthur: There. Now you see? I'm not a squirrel. I'm a boy. I tried to
tell you. Oh, if you could only understand
(female squirrel cries)
Merlin: You know, lad... that love business is a powerful thing.
Merlin: Well, yes, boy, Yes, I'd say it's the greatest force on Earth.
[Before tournament]
(Kingdom)
Sir Ector: Here's to victory in London for my son, Kay!
Sir Ector: No-o, of course, son, of course. Ah, here's to Sir Kay.
And who knows? The future king of all England!
Maid: Sir Ector! Sir Ector! Hobbs has come down with the mumps!
Face all-all puffed up like a toad!
Sir Ector: Then Kay'll need another squire, hang it all. Hmm. Wart,
you're it.
[The tournament]
Narrator : the long awaited day.. the sun rose up.. sunlight began
shining throughout the town.. will luck be on Kay's side? will he be able
to get the crown as his?
Kay: what.
Kay: You fool! You better get it! Or don't you dare come back!
Knight 2: What?
(chuckles)
Knight 3: That’s Absurd!
Knight 4: I know right! How can a small boy like you lift up the
excalibur?
(all of the knight starts laughing)
Sir Ector: Stop joking around boy… now tell us the truth.
(Off Screen): All right, all right, I say let’s have the boy try it now
(Merlin appears out of the crowd)
Merlin: After all, it seems kind off unfair to see all 5 of you so eager
to lift it up.
Arthur: Merlin! I’m so sorry abo—
Merlin: Don’t worry about it boy, it’s time for you to show them what
you’re really worth…
(MORE SUSPENSE)(Lights off)(Beaming Light upon Arthur)(Arthur
puts his hands on the sword)(angelic voices starts to sing)(Arthur
looking at everyone one)(once the angelic goes quite, arthur pulls
out the sword, and lifts it up high for everyone to see)(subtle angelic
voice starts singing)
(Lahat ng knight): Hail, King Arthur! Long live the king! Long live
King Arthur!
Arthur : Hmmm. Oh I know! I'll run away, yeah! that's what I'll
do. they'll just have to get new king right!
Archimedes : Hmm, I guess… well let’s run through that door and
escape from this kingdom shall we?
Arthur : Remake?
The End.
