[Play] A Hand Grenade Loose in King Arthur's Court - Act 1, Scene 15

 Grenademan Galahad and Lancelot are in front of a cave.  There is a Rock with Rabbit ears on it.


Lancelot

What is it?


Grenademan

I BELIEVE IT IS A ROCK.


Lancelot

Why are there rabbit ears on it?


GRENADEMAN

I AM UNSURE.


Galahad

It looks terrifying.


Lancelot

It’s a rock.  (beat) With rabbit ears on it.


Grenademan

SHOULD I BLOW IT UP?


Lancelot

Does it look evil?


Grenademan studies the rock, far longer than should be necessary.  He goes over and looks at the rock from all sides.


Grenademan

NO.  THIS ROCK DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A MEMBER OF THE FORCES OF EVIL.


Galahad

I think it looks evil.


Lancelot

You have very poor judgement, son.


Galahad

You’re not my father.


Lancelot

Yaddah Yaddah Yaddah.


Galahad

What?


Lancelot

Let’s go inside.  (Walks past the rock into the cave)


Grenademan studies the rock, one more time and then walks past it.


Galahad stares at the rock, shudders and then walks around it with as wide a path as the cave will allow.  He enters the cave.


A pair of evil looking eyes open on the rock and evil laughter starts.
