 Done with a Hand Grenade in King Arthur's Court, hope you enjoyed.

Starting next week, my rewrite of the play "Rossum's Universal Robots" which is, frankly an entirely different play.

Here is what ended up being the first page of the last play.

[Play] A Handgrenade Loose in King Arthur's Court - Act 2, Scene 14

 Grenademan is alone on the stage, entirely dark hurtling through the void between worlds. 

Order

Greetings Grenademan, congratulations on a job well done.

Grenademan

I AM SURPRISED.  I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT YOU WOULD BE UPSET AT ME BREAKING THE CYCLE OF CAMELOT.

Order

On the small scale, it doesn’t help my interests, but I like to take the wider picture of things, and I believe that a Camelot allowed to thrive and flourish is a better story than one in which it disappears from the world.   Anyway, that’s not why I’m here.

Grenademan

WHY ARE YOU HERE?  IF...HERE...IS REALLY ANYWHERE...IT SEEMS MORE LIKE NOWHERE REALLY….

Order

No, it's not nowhere.  I’ve been to nowhere, and it's a very unpleasant non place.  This is just nothing, and that’s something all together different.

Grenademan

I SEE.

Order

You really don’t but you’re not a greater cosmic power, so who can blame you? Anyway, my brother and I play many many matches and I must say I’m impressed.  We have a rather impromptu quick match coming up on an Earth not too different than you own and I was wondering if you might be my champion.

Grenademan

I DON’T KNOW.  SOME OF YOUR ACTIONS SEEM EVIL….

Order

I am beyond Good and Evil.  I can see that is important to you, so does it help to know that your opponent is unquestionably evil?  He plans to unleash a zombie hoard on the world.  Well, he doesn't realize it yet, but that’s what he’s planning.

Grenademan

THE FORCES OF EVIL MUST BE STOPPED.

Order

I know, right? So you’ll do it?

Grenademan

SEND ME TO FACE THIS FOUL SORCEROUS FIEND.

Order 

That’s the spirit.  Changing your dimensional trajectory right...now.  Enjoy!

Grenademan

TALLYHO! TO FIGHT THE FORCES OF EVIL!

Swamp Castle - City of Monuments

Washington the 23rd is determined to renew the American Empire through one means or another; starting with the destruction of the City of Momuments.

Grenademan, Morgana, Arthur, Lancelot and Sir Pelinor stand in the throne room

Arthur

So I guess this is goodbye Sir grenademan

Lancelot

Thank you

Pelinor

Thank you indeed.  Not just for saving the kingdom or breaking the cycle but the wonders you have helped us rediscover

Arthur

The kingdom can never repay you, but your memory will be sung by our bards as long as the table shall stand

Morgana

That’s …sappy.  But if it hadnt been for you, I would be being tortured for millenia.  Here.  (she hands Grenademan a pair of boots) They might help you get around…to fight the forces of evil.

Grenademan

THANK YOU ALL.  (he takes the boots) TO FIGHT THE FORCES OF EVIL.

(everyone else)

To fight the forces of evil!

Morgana

And hearing.

Grenademan salutes, and goes through the magic portal.
