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.
