[first lines]

Come on. [While Sir Lionel is helping Lady Juliana getting off of her horse, is standing on her horse.] Father! [As she jumps into her father's arms, they roll down onto a sandy beach hill.] Father, do you really have to go?

I’m afraid I must, Kayley. You know The King’s Knights will be here soon.

Kayley

Tell me again why you became a knight.

Lady Juliana

Kayley, you’ve heard it a thousand times!

Oh, but it’s fine dear. Well, my daughter, before you were born, the land was dark and treacherous. [draws three circles in the sand with his finger] The people stood divided, brother fighting brother. [We go to a flashback, where at three stone pillars holding the magic sword, Excalibur.] The only hope for peace was in the legend of Excalibur, for it was said that only the true king could pull the magical sword from its stone and unite the people. Many tried, all failed. [Everybody tries to pull out Excalibur, but to no avail, gave up] Then, on the very day you were born, [A young man emerges from the crowd] an unexpected hero stepped forth, his name was Arthur, [Arthur pulls out Excalibur, much to everybody's amazement] and he was that true king. With Excalibur at his side he led us out of the darkness [Years pass by, as a castle is being constructed] and together we built the greatest kingdom on Earth, [Everybody helped build a kingdom] everyone rejoiced. [All of Camelot's residents danced and formed the three interlocked rings, showing union and Kayley is dancing inside a drawn circle, where she is dreaming about Camelot]

Kayley

Camelot!

[shows Kayley the shield representing the three rings]

And so these three rings represent the unity of our people. As a knight, I took an oath to protect Camelot, King Arthur, and Excalibur.

Kayley

The knights are here!

I must go now, Kayley. The king has summoned his knights for a special day in Camelot. [kisses Lady Juliana and begins to ride off] Goodbye.

Kayley

I’m coming with you daddy!

Yes, when you are old enough, Kayley. I will take you to Camelot. I promise. I love you.

Kayley

One day, I will be a knight, like father.

Let’s go!

Kayley
[After Garrett saves her from Ironmen]

That was... incredible! How you, smashed those creatures! How you-you avoided that-that-that, thing! You're amazing! You're- [Notices Garrett's not listening to her]

[Agrees uncaringly, as he looks over his ruined net]

Mmhmm.

Kayley

Not, even, listening to me!

Great, took me six weeks to make this net!

Kayley

Net? You saved my life. Thank you.

Well, everyone can makes mistakes.

Kayley

Oh, I get it. This is where King Arthur sends his unfunny jesters, right?

And now I'll thank you...

Kayley

For what?

For reminding me why I'm a hermit! Good day! [Begins to walk away]

Kayley

But wait! What's your name?

It's Garrett.

Kayley

I'm Kayley! [Garrett seemingly continues to ignore her by walking on] Garrett! Why won't you look at me when I'm talking to you? ...Oh. Oh, I didn't realize you were...

What? Tall? Rugged? Handsome?

Kayley
[Astonished]

Blind.

[Chuckles lightly and replies sarcastically]

...You know, I always forget that one.

Kayley

Have you got a cold? What is it?

We’re in Dragon Country.

Kayley

Are you sure this is Dragon Country? I mean, shouldn't there be a sign or something? It could say, 'Welcome to Dragon Country.' ...You don't think we'll see any... do you...? Is a group of dragons a pack or a flock? Is it a gaggle or a pride? Is it a herd?

Quiet.

Kayley

Do you hear something?

No, I just want you to be quiet.

Kayley
[placing her hands akimbo, annoyed]

Hmph!

Well, the good news is, we're out of Dragon Country. The bad news is, this is where we say goodbye.

Devon

You can't leave us here! If we try to go back, we'll be banished! Ostracized. Exiled...

Cornwall

Not to mention kicked out.

Kayley

Why?

Cornwall

We just broke the dragons' cardinal rule!

Kayley

Rule?

Devon

What? Never wear brown shoes with the blue suit?

Cornwall

No, you moron. Never help a human.

Come on, Kayley. We must make camp before dark.

Devon

Camp?

Kayley

Garrett. Let's take them with us. Please.

Oh, I suppose so. But no more singing!

Devon

How about interpretive dance?
[Garrett sighs]

Kayley, I must tell you, I knew your father.

Kayley

You did?

I used to live in Camelot. [We go to a flashback at Garrett who is younger and works in the stable] I was a stable boy, but I dreamt of becoming a knight. [Later the fire had broke out in one of the stables] One evening, there was a fire. [Garrett opens up the stable doors to free the horses] I rushed to save the horses but, Well. [A Horse accidentally hits Garrett in the eyes, making him fall to the ground in pain] I was hurt. [Garrett tries to see what's happened, but his vision is blurry] At first, all I could see were shapes, then shadows. Finally, my world went black. [Garrett's vision blacks out. In the morning he tries to find himself around when Sir Lionel sees him and grabs a stick] After I lost my sight [Sir Lionel passes Garrett the stick and teaches him the skills] Your father was the only one who still believed in me. He taught me that a knight's strength comes from his heart [Merlin and Ayden watch as Sir Lionel is teaching him] and his loyalty to the Oath of Camelot.

United we stand.

Both

Now and forever.

Any hope I had of becoming a knight, died with him.

Kayley

I felt that way too, but I knew he would never want me to give up. He wouldn't want you to give up either. You're as good as any knight in Camelot.

You really think so?

Kayley
[As Ayden flies through the end of the forest, Kayley then pulls back the branch to see Camelot in the distance]

Camelot! Oh Garrett, it's so beautiful!

Hmmm.

Kayley

I wish you could see it.

I have seen it. And there was no place for me.

Kayley
[hands her Excalibur]

Garrett, what's wrong?

Take Excalibur to Arthur. You don't have much time.

Kayley
[Turns back towards the Forbidden Forest. Kayley is confused. Devon and Cornwall are dumbfounded] [Runs ahead of him, blocking his path]

But we'll deliver the sword together.

No. You deliver it. I...I don't belong in that world.

[Moves past her]

Come on, Ayden.

Kayley
[softly]

But you belong in mine.

Kayley

Stop bickering, and get your act together!

Devon

Act? Did someone say Act? I can act!

Well, Master, we lost 'em again.
[Ruber prepares to strike him; then looks up along the path] .

Ah! That's where they went.

Kayley

Uh-oh.

What is it?

Kayley

We've lost the tracks.

Kayley
[Noise]

Tell me that was your stomach.

[shakes head]

It was the Ogre.

Devon

"Ogre"?!

Cornwall

Well, see ya, good luck, have a nice life;–– whatever's left of it.

Kayley

What's so scary about ogres?

Devon
[the skeleton of a large animal falls into their midst]

Their appetite!

Cornwall

Oh, no; I think it's Uncle Yorick!

Devon

Alas, poor Yorick!

[listening to Ayden the Falcon]

Quick! Get out of the way!

Kayley
[The Ogre stamps on the skeleton, discards more bones, and drops an ornate sheath]

It's the scabbard from Excalibur! He does have the sword.

[Later]

Ogres sleep in the day. We'll wait for him to fall asleep, then, we'll grab the sword!

Devon

Define "We".

Shh! Quiet! The slightest noise and we're finished!

Devon
[looks around at skeletons along the walls of the Ogre's lair]

Hmm. Charming place. I must get the name of his decorator.

What's he doing?

Kayley

I can't see him.

He's here; I can smell him.
[The Ogre moves] .

Kayley

You're right; he is here.

Where's Excalibur?

Kayley
[aghast]

He's using it as a toothpick!

Tell me when he falls asleep.
[The Ogre gives a yawn and noisily lies down] .

Cornwall

Let me guess: he fell asleep!

Describe the lay-out.

Kayley

There's a ledge, just above the sword! But it's gotta be a twenty-foot drop.
[Garrett uses his staff and places it next to Cornwall. He places his hand on the stick, and compares it to Cornwall's height. He walks away, Devon and Cornwall look confused. Later, we see Devon and Cornwall's tail is hooked on the rock on the ledge, as the camera pans down, we see that Devon and Cornwall are holding onto Garrett's feet who is using his staff for Kayley to hook her legs around as she is trying to grab Excalibur. Devon and Cornwall are heard groaning.]

Kayley

Lower down. More.

Iron Crossbowman
[Then we cut to the far angle from the human-chain. Ruber's foot stomps in front of the camera. And we cut to the front of Ruber and his men.]

Hey boss! Look! There they are–

whilst shoving one of the mace-wielding thug's mace balls into the arrow thug's mouth] Shut up! [he turns to see that the ogre hasn't woken up and the human-chain is anywhere going out of place. To himself, muttering.] (I hate ogres.) Walk this way. [Ruber's minions tip toe behind Ruber, making some metallic noises every step they take. Ruber sighs in annoyance. Devon spots Ruber, The Griffin and the henchmen from the distance.]

Devon

Oh, no, it's him. [Devon points at Ruber, accidentally letting go of Garrett's foot]

Hey!

[The chain began the jolt, Kayley nearly fell, but her feet managed to stay hooked on Garrett's staff. Kayley has lowered herself enough to Excalibur. Ruber has climbed on the Griffin and it begins to fly off, causing dust to rise.]

Ah-ah-ahhh-CHOOO! [After the Griffin sneezed, Ruber gasped, then Cornwall, then Garrett, and lastly Kayley. Then the ogre opens his eye in front of Kayley.]

Kayley

Uh-oh! Nap-time's over! [Garrett does so, but he groans whilst doing so] Quick! Swing me back-and-forth! You're getting very sleepy, sleepy. [The ogre fell back to sleep shortly after Kayley hypnotized him]

[grabbing hold of Excalibur]

Can you reach it?

Kayley

I've got it!
[Devon and Cornwall moan as Ayden grabs hold of Devon's head and pulls the chain to safety. Ruber and the Griffin fly off again to try to steal back the sword. But the ogre, still groggy, yawns in front of them, as the group ran for the exit. Ruber and the Griffin scream as they fall to the ground. Three of Ruber's henchmen chase after the group, but the ogre slams his hand into them, narrowly missing the group. Ruber and the Griffin land, and the ogre yawns and lifts his hand in the air. The flattened, but unharmed minions, blink. Then the ogre begins to change his sleeping position. Ruber and the Griffin gasp, as the ogre's rear end is lowering in front of them. The ogre sits down in his sleeping position, causing dust to rise.]

The Ogre's butt! [the dust clears to see that Ruber and the Griffin are indeed trapped under the ogre's butt]

Well, Master, at least things can't get any worse.

[After the Griffin said that, the ground begins to shake] [to the Griffin]

Wanna bet? [As the group ran towards the exit of the cave, breaking wind is heard.]

Cornwall

Whoa! Watch it!

[Loud noise and gust of wind blowing Ruber and the Griffin over the heroes, who duck their heads and cover their noses as they run out of the Ogre's cave. Ruber and the Griffin crash into a cave wall]

Seize them!

[groaning, strained]

Yes, Master. [Devon and Cornwall are the first to run through the exit, and stop at a cliff.]

Devon

There's no way out!

Kayley

There's one way out: you'll have to fly!

Devon

We can't fly! (We explained that before our song).
[Garrett seizes Kayley, Devon, & Cornwall and leaps with them into the canyon] .

Cornwall
[deep]

Houston, we have a [normal] PROBLEM! [His voice echoes, as they slide down the cliff. Ruber stops at the cliff, followed by his henchmen]

After you! [he kicks them down the cliff, after the heroes. Ayden chirps in view, Ruber sees this, and motions the Griffin to attack him. The Griffin does so, but misses him, and Ayden flies around Ruber, who swings his sword at him, but misses. The Griffin's eyes widen and shrieks when he realizes what he's flying into. Ruber growls in shock, as the Griffin crashes into the cliff right below him, crumbling the cliff with Ruber on it, causing him to fall with the Griffin. Meanwhile, back to the group who are still sliding down the cliff with Kayley and Garrett on Devon and Cornwall, with Ruber's minions still sliding far behind. The Griffin and Ruber are right behind them.]

Devon

Ladies and Gentlemen: Please put your seats in the upright position!

Cornwall

Assume the crash position and hope you don't smell your socks! Tray tables up and put away your sandwiches!

Devon

Turbulence!

Cornwall

Hold on, gang. I think we're going in.

Devon

We know you do have a choice, so thank you for flying Dragon Air! Ow! OW! OWW!! [They land on a lake extinguishing the fire, Garrett fell off into the water, but Kayley managed to stay on.]

Cornwall

Tell you what, next time you try to fly, and we'll hold on.

Kayley

We did it. We did it! I can't believe it! We did it!

Kayley
[she takes Excalibur out of its scabbard]

So this is Excalibur. [Devon and Cornwall squabble over each other to hold the sword]

Devon

Can I hold it? Give it to me!

Cornwall

Please, let me hold it. Me!

[to Devon and Cornwall]

No! Excalibur only belongs in the hands of Arthur. [He walks away] Come on, Kayley.
