The Sword in the Stone (film)

"Pellinore: Big news, Ector. Really big news."

"(Archimedes flies back)"

"Merlin: Something warns me that you're all wet, Archimedes."

"Ector: Pellinore! (laughs) Pellinore. Greetings, old boy. And what's all the noise about London, huh?"

"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?"

"Ector: Here's to London! And here's to Kay! And here's to the banner of the Castle of the Forest Savage!"

"Ector: Then just make yourself at home, Marvin."

"Archimedes: Well, you may be right. (exits his birdhouse) A skinny boy like that would make a cracking good chimney sweep. (Laughs until rain is poured on him)"

"Merlin: (jabs his wand into the birdhouse) Oh, come, come, come, come now. You're as wet as you can get."

"(In the dining hall, everyone else settles down after a meal as Pellinore enters, much to Ector's surprise)"

"Ector: You- (coughs) You mean...you mean he'll be king of all England?"

"Kay: Pretty fair prize, I'd say."

"Wart: Oh, Sir Ector, you mean it?"

"Kay: I don't want the Wart for my squire."

"Ector: You will, uh...yes, I must say, you...have me there, Marvin. Yes. Well, as you win. You're welcome to stay if you like."

"Merlin: Oh, yes. Very lovely indeed."

"Merlin: "Best room in the house"! "Guest room"?! Unwelcome-guest room! Well, if he thinks he can get rid of me, I have news for that old walrus. I'm sticking it out."

"(the sugar bowl stuffs out the rain water)"

"Man: Pellinore! It's Pellinore, dash it all! I have big news from London! Big news! C'mon, man, drop the bridge!"

"Archimedes: Not interested!"

"Archimedes: Huh! You wouldn't dare!"

"Merlin: Alright. Works every time. Just like magic."

"Ector: Oh, that's not news, dash it all. They always do so."

"(Ector does a spit-take on Pellinore)"

"Pellinore: King of all England."

"Ector: Kay, lad, did you hear that?"

"Kay: Sure. Why not? Why not?!"

"Ector: Wart, lad, how'd you like to go to London?"

"Ector: If you stick to your duties, you can be Kay's squire."

"Wart: Oh, I will, sir. I will. (tumbles down the stairs, spilling the dishes; but Ector and Pellinore laugh)"

"Kay: Huh. Good riddance."

"Merlin's voice: I am gone, but then, I am not gone. Then if I do leave, you can never be sure that I am gone, can you?"

"Merlin: (magically reappears) Thank you. You're very kind. Very generous, I must say."

"Ector: Well, uh, all we can offer is room and board. Hard times, you know, Marvin, we'll put you up in the northwest tower. (points to an aged, damaged tower) That's the guest room. It's a bit drafty in the winter, but in this blazing hot weather, it's the best room in the house."

"Merlin: Marvin, Marvin, Marvin, Marvin. (heads into the tower)"

"(Later that evening, it's raining and Merlin is putting buckets and umbrellas everywhere)"

"Archimedes: And I say we go back to the woods."

"Merlin: Oh, not on your life. That boy has to have an education. He has a future."

"(A horn blows, and they go to the window, where a skinny man on horseback blows a horn)"

"Guard: Who goes there?"

"(the drawbridge is dropped, shaking the tower)"

"Merlin: Oh, big news, heh? They can't wait for the London Times. First edition won't be out for at least, uh...1,2000 years. Archimedes, would you mind sailing down there and, and..."

"Archimedes: No! No, no, no!"

"Merlin: Archimedes! I'll turn you into a human."

"Merlin: I will! Then help me, I will."

"Archimedes: (exits his birdhouse) Alright, that's it! Hold on! (flies down)"

"Ector: Sit down, man, and let's hear all about it."

"Pellinore: They're having a big tournament, New Year's Day."

"Pellinore: Oh, but, Ector, Ector, here's where all the emotion comes in. To the winner of this tournament, goes the crown."

"Ector: Cheers!"
