Scene one
King Arthur: [takes out his sword] I’m not here to invade.
King Arthur: Well, Let’s just say I was wandering and got lost. I mean no
harm.
Soldier: Then you must come with us. We’ll take you to our queen.
Scene Two [soldier brings King Arthur to Queen Lupe's palace.] [both bow]
King Arthur: I’m a King of my own land. I don’t intent to take over
your crown.
Queen Lupe: You are an intrepid young man, but you must die
because you violated our laws.
King Arthur: Do what you have to do.
Queen Lupe: I can also see that you are strong of character, and I
like that. I will forgive you on one condition.
Queen Lupe : I will give one year to find out the answer to a very
difficult question.
Queen Lupe: You are free to go now. And don´t forget… I´ll be
waiting for you.
Scene Three
Princess: Well, people say there´s a witch living in the deep forest.
They say that he is very smart, but evil. Why don´t you go and ask
her?
King Arthur: So… you are also telling me to go and see the witch,
and I supposed you know her…maybe she has already given you one
of her spells.
Princess: I don´t know what you mean… but, did somebody else tell
you about her?
King Arthur: The queen also suggested that I should see her.
Princess: Then you must do it, maybe she´s the only one that can
help you. But I must tell you, that the price you will pay, will be
high.
King Arthur: If she has the answer, then I don´t care about the
price.
King Arthur: I’m not afraid of her. Thank you for your advice.
Scene Four:
Witch: I have been expecting you… I know that your time is running
out.
King Arthur: If you already know why I´m here, then tell me the
answer.
Witch: [traps King Arthur behind bars] So fair, it would be, give you
the answer. The price is no below the seventh sky.
Witch: Here you go. The answer is: What a woman wants is to be in
charge of her own destiny.
King Arthur: Oh, my! Yes, this is the answer. Tell me, how many
gold coins do you wish for?
Witch: Ahahah [evil laugh] Gold coins? I want to marry George, your
best friend.
King Arthur: Are you out of your mind! It makes me sick just to
think of the idea of you marrying him!
King Arthur: Have you seen yourself in a mirror? You´re ugly! You
have only one tooth and you´re hunchbacked! You´re the most
repulsive person I have ever seen! How can I ask my best friend to
sacrifice because of me?
Scene Five:
King Arthur: My friend George, Prince of lights! You must not suffer
because of my foolishly impractical act. I shall return to Zelda.
George: Arthur, light is found even in the deepest ocean. [Blow the
candles] [exit]
Scene Six:
[wedding day. Witch Zelda is wearing a white dress and is looking
cleaner. George’s sister is present]
See, people. What I told you. Light can be found even in the deepest
ocean. We all have goodness in us. We just need to find it.
