Scene 15

'Message for you, sir.'

LAUNCELOT:

Well taken, Concorde!

CONCORDE:

Thank you, sir! Most kind.

LAUNCELOT:

And again! Over we go! Good. Steady! And now, the big one! Uuh! Come on, Concorde!

[thwonk]

CONCORDE:

Message for you, sir.

[fwump]

LAUNCELOT:

Concorde! Concorde! Speak to me! 'To whoever finds this note: I have been imprisoned by my father, who wishes me to marry against my will. Please, please, please come and rescue me. I am in the Tall Tower of Swamp Castle.'

At last! A call! A cry of distress! This could be the sign that leads us to the Holy Grail! Brave, brave Concorde, you shall not have died in vain!

CONCORDE:

Uh, I'm-- I'm not quite dead, sir.

LAUNCELOT:

Well, you shall not have been mortally wounded in vain!

CONCORDE:

I-- I-- I think I c-- I could pull through, sir.

LAUNCELOT:

Oh, I see.

CONCORDE:

Actually, I think I'm all right to come with you, sir--

LAUNCELOT:

No, no, sweet Concorde! Stay here! I will send help as soon as I have accomplished a daring and heroic rescue in my own particular...

[sigh]

CONCORDE:

Idiom, sir?

LAUNCELOT:

Idiom!

CONCORDE:

No, I feel fine, actually, sir.

LAUNCELOT:

Farewell, sweet Concorde!

CONCORDE:

I'll, um-- I'll just stay here, then. Shall I, sir? Yeah.
