Arthur
A thousand pardons, Milady. Wait! Don't run. [She stops and looks at him coweringly] Please! I won't harm you.
Guenevere
You lie! You'll leap at me and throw me to the ground.
Arthur
I won't do any such thing. [He takes a step toward her. She takes a step backwards. He stops]
Guenevere
Then you'll twist my arm and tie me to a tree.
Arthur
But I won't.
Guinevere
Then you'll sling me over your shoulder and carry me off.
Arthur
No, no, no! I swear it! By the Sword Excalibur! I swear I won't touch you.
Guinevere
[Hurt]
Why not? [Sudden rage] How dare you insult me in this fashion. Do my looks repel you?
Arthur
No. You're beautiful.
Guinevere
Well, then? We're alone. I'm completely defenseless. What kind of a cad are you? Apologize at once.
