DO YOU HAVE A PROPHECY
KEVIN
Why would we break in to the
competitors’ side of the arena?
ORA
If we go through the audience
entrance, we won’t be able to get
to Isten.
KEVIN
Alight. Let’s say we do somehow go
over this huge wall or sneak past
the guarded gate and manage to find
Isten. What are you gonna’ say to
him? ‘Why did you steal the
Prophecies? Why are you a lying
liar?’
ORA
More or less.
KEVIN
Ugh!
ORA
We need to find him and get the
Prophecies back. It sounds like,
they only have to prove they have
one, not turn It in
And...I want to know why he did any
of this. It can’t be all about
money.
KEVIN
Can’t It?
KARRAS
Isten needs me. I need to get in.
FORMOSA
Perhaps our answer is over there.
KEVIN
Is that Jonathan and his friends
from the caravan?
ORA
How did we beat them here?
FORMOSA
They must have spent last night in
Dawnwallow and only now checking in
to the tournament.
ORA
Maybe... maybe he would be willing
to add some companions!
ORA (CONT'D)
Jonathan! It’s good to see you!
JONATHAN
Nora!! How are you?
ORA
It’s...Ora.
JONATHAN
Ora... right... thats uhhh... Wow,
I’m lucky I remember my own name
after last night.
TARESA
The pub we went to found out
Jonathan was competing and offered
free drinks. Probably thought they
could affect the odds by having a
hung-over participant, but Jonathan
here has a stomach of steel.
ANCELIN
Ugh. If only we all did.
ORA
Jonathan, we were wondering if you
could include us in your crew. You
know, bring us with you into the
fighters’ side of the arena.
TARESA
Ah, so you didn’t have two
prophecies.
ORA
They’ve been temporarily misplaced.
JONATHAN
Well, you seem like nice folks, but
I don’t know you all well enough to
vouch for you.
ORA
Well...How about just me? I’ll go.
KARRAS
No. I’ll go.
ORA
Karras, I need to get in there and
talk to Isten.
KARRAS
I need to talk to Isten.
ORA
Look, I know you’re close to him,
but he stole from me! I need to
find him!
KARRAS
You’ve been with him a few days;
I’ve been there a year. I need to
find him.
JONATHAN
Ummm...look...
ORA
No! We can figure this out in a
minute.
KARRAS
No! If you leave, you may take no
one.
KEVIN
If It makes anyone feel better, I’m
fine with not finding Isten.
KARRAS
We fight to decide.
ORA
I’m fine with that. I beat you
once, I can beat you again.
KARRAS
But I couldn’t use my bow then.
JONATHAN
HEY! Hey. No fighting! They ban
people for fighting outside the
tournament.
TARESA
Though I would bet money on The big
man.
ANCELIN
What odds? I’m thinking Ora stands
a better chance, she seems faster.
JONATHAN
Enough! I’m not gonna’ take either
of you. If I bring you in I take
responsibility for ya’ and neither
of ya’ are worth me getting
disqualified.
ORA
But...
JONATHAN
You are not gonna’ to find anyone
willing to take strangers in to
their care. You have nothing to
offer! Now, get out of our way.
KARRAS
(Grunts.)
ORA
Fine.
TARESA
Good luck to you all, nice seeing
you again.
ANCELIN
Best of... Ugh...oh....I think - I
think I’m going to throw up.
TARESA
Aww. Let’s get you some bread.
ORA
Ugh. Why did you do that?!
KARRAS
(Grunts.)
ORA
We might have been able to get in!
KEVIN
Whoa, whoa, Ora...
ORA
What?!
KEVIN
It’s been a long day, let’s not...
ORA
Oh, great! Now where are you
going?!
GARION
Whoa! Whoa.
Out of the way, you crazed dalcop!
GARION’S MAN 1
Stand aside! He who stands in the
way of the Chosen One shall
move...or be moved!
KARRAS
Take me on your team.
GARION AND HIS MEN
(Laugh)
GARION’S MAN 2
We said out of the way, big man!
GARION
I don’t know you friend. And don’t
much care too. (Chuckles)
KARRAS
Catch.
GARION
Stones?(Chuckles) Hardly seems a
fitting gift.
GARION AND HIS MEN
(Laugh)
KARRAS
Throw them up. Throw them up in the
air.
GARION’S MAN 1
We’ve no time for this.
KARRAS
Throw them.
GARION
Well, you heard the dalcop. Alright
men, on 3. 1, 2, 3.
GARION’S MAN 1
Mother of light!
KEVIN
HOLY BOLDER OF ROCKS! Did you see
what he just did.
GARION’S MAN 2
I ain’t never seen a man move so
fast...
GARION’S MAN 1
Much less a man his size...
GARION
That’s not bad, not bad at all.
Never hurts to have a big man
around as a deterrent...but uh...
can I trust you?
KARRAS
I can heal your horse.
GARION’S MAN 2
Mine?
There’s nothing wrong with my
horse.
KARRAS
He is limping.
GARION
Just a bit, he twisted his ankle is
all. It will heal.
KARRAS
Wrong.
GARION’S MAN 2
What that?
KARRAS
You are wrong.
GARION’S MAN 2
Say that one more time. The Chosen
One is never wrong.
KARRAS
(grunts)
GARION’S MAN 2
‘Ey! Get away from ‘im, he don’t
like people touching his...
KARRAS
You were wrong.
GARION
Yes...Looks like I was.
GARION’S MAN 1
The Chosen One...
GARION
Oh, drop the Chosen One crap!
(to Karras)
I’m impressed. You can join me, on
this condition: while you don’t
strike me as the trouble making
type, you cause a single problem in
there and you wont live long enough
to cause another. Understood?
KARRAS
(Grunts.)
GARION
Alright then. Let’s go.
GARION’S MAN 2
Lead the way, Boy-o!
GARION
Oh, and what was your name?
KEVIN
Karras!
KARRAS
It’s Karras.
KEVIN
Karras!
GARION’S MAN 2
Do you know them?
KEVIN
Karras! ho ho ho. That was amazing!
I can’t believe It, I mean oh...
Like oh...I knew you were...
KARRAS
Ugh!
KEVIN
Oof. Hey, what was that?
KARRAS
We just met.
ORA
Where are you going?
GARION’S MAN 1
Out of the way of the Chosen One,
spectator!
ORA
What?!
KARRAS
He said out of the way!
BIRD
Caw caw.
ORA
Ewww... UGH.
GARION AND HIS MEN
(Laugh)
GARION
I think that bird likes you. It
suits you well.
GARION AND HIS MEN
(Laugh)
FORMOSA
Are you Okay?
ORA
Yeah.
KEVIN
I always heard It was lucky to get
pooped on by a bird.
ORA
Well It doesn’t feel lucky!
I think we were just abandoned...
KEVIN
I noticed that too.
FORMOSA
Well...What should we do now?
ORA
We still need to get in.
FORMOSA
We should find a place for Spirit
before we try again. The three of
us may be able to sneak in, but It
will be harder with a horse.
ORA
I think I saw a stable just outside
town. Hopefully we have enough gold
for them to house her.
FORMOSA
Gold? It won’t be that expensive.
KEVIN
Are you sure? It cost us everything
we had the last time we stabled
her.
ORA
Well... we told them how much we
had...
KEVIN
Then we conveniently had just
enough...oh...
FORMOSA
I’ll take Spirit and get her
settled at the stable. You two come
up with a strategy to get us
inside.
KEVIN
So, any ideas?
ORA
If the Gatekeeper simply understood
our situation, he’d have to let us
through.
KEVIN
Sure. Thats the Gatekeepers oath...
“I swear to protect this town...
unless I really pity the people...
ORA
Alright. What’s your bright idea?
KEVIN
Bribery?
ORA
Eh. We don’t have that much money.
Oh, we could throw sand in his eyes
and make a run for It.
KEVIN
Well then the five other guards
would come after us. Not the
mention the other fighters.
ORA
I wonder how high are these walls?
KEVIN
Look, you can read and write, why
not write out our own Prophecy?
It’s not like It has to be
consistent.
ORA
Parchment and ink would be more
expensive than bribery.
HOLFRED
Make way! Make way for Lyanora!
Defender of the weak and the weapon
of justice! She who shall remake
this terrible world into a thing of
beauty!
KEVIN
Is that how you’d have announced
Isten?
ORA
More like, “He who sings terrible
songs and refuses to set up camp.”
HOLFRED
You two! You are unworthy to gaze
upon Lyanora. Bow. Bow to the
Chosen One!
LYANORA
Holfred, do not make presumptions.
All are worthy as children of this
forsaken land.
There is no need to bow.
KEVIN
I wasn’t going to bow anyways.
(MORE)
LYANORA
I see you both carry swords. A
noble weapon, though I prefer my
spear. One day, It shall pierce
through the very heart of our
miseries and the black blood of
sorrow will flow out of this land.
HOLFRED
You are so wise, Chosen One.
LYANORA
Are either of you sword-wielders
competing?
Or perhaps you have joined with
some false One who proclaims their
own divinity.
ORA
Well...We’re not fighting in the
tournament, if that’s what you
mean.
KEVIN
And what’s this about divinity?
LYANORA
Ah, you’re spectators. Are you
believers, here to seek the Chosen
One?
KEVIN
You could say that.
ORA
Yes, but we are still seeking a
champion.
LYANORA
Very well. If you can, watch my
bouts closely. May my acts of
valiance open your eyes and hearts
to my claim.
ORA
Wait! I need to get through that
gate. Could I join you?
LYANORA
Seeking to be part of my faithful
without having faith.
LYANORA (CONT'D)
I appreciate your spirit, my child,
truly - and earlier in our journey
I might have embraced you as we
traveled along the road of life,
but alas...now is not that time.
ORA
So no?
LYANORA
Be well. Live fully and without
compromise.
Remember to watch for me in the
arena; may my deeds sway your
hearts!
HOLFRED
Be honored that Lyanora deigned to
speak to you. To be in her presence
is to know more warmth than even
the sun can provide.
KEVIN
Well, that was interesting.
ORA
Maybe if we keep asking competitors
if we can join, one will agree.
KEVIN
Or maybe-
ORA
Oh, hello there! I was wondering if
you needed another person to
help...
KEVIN
For Light’s sake.
SCENE BRAKE
FORMOSA
I boarded Spirit.
ORA
...but if you’ll just hear me out,
I think you’ll realize how valuable
I can be.
FORMOSA
I take It you weren’t able to get
in.
KEVIN
She’s decided joining a group is
the way to go.
FORMOSA
Well, she’s certainly enthusiastic.
I’ve been puzzled by why you stay
with her. You’re not a believer and
you criticize almost all her ideas.
You don’t seem to be looking for
fame and fortune...
KEVIN
I wouldn’t turn down fortune.
FORMOSA
But you’re not looking for It.
KEVIN
What? She’s a friend! Isn’t that
reason enough? Besides, she
promised she’d teach me how to
fight. And where else am I going to
go?
FORMOSA
You are no stranger to the forest.
You could...
KEVIN
(yelling)
Hey Ora! Over here!
ORA
Formosa, welcome back! Good timing,
too, I heard that the tournament is
going to start after lunch, which
means we don’t have much time to
get to Isten.
KEVIN
I take It you didn’t have luck
getting us into a participant’s
party.
ORA
Can you believe most people ignored
me?
KEVIN
Yes.
FORMOSA
Time is pressing. What’s the plan?
Do you want to keep asking to join
a group?
ORA
No. It’s not working. We have to
try something new.
KEVIN
Oh! I have an idea: I’ll seduce the
FIGHTER SIDE GATEKEEPER.
I take It from your expressions
that you’re not thrilled with the
idea. But if a few kind words can
get us through, then it’s worth a
try.
ORA
Wow...we are really reaching the
bottom of the barrel...
KEVIN
Look, are you willing to do
anything to get in there?
ORA
Yes.
KEVIN
Don’t worry, just follow my lead.
FIGHTER SIDE GATEKEEPER
You again? Did ya’ get a Prophecy?
KEVIN
Wow. It must be tough to have to
stand out in the sun all day
looking after all these uh... These
amateurs. Am I right? Especially
for someone as tall and strong as
yourself. You look like you’re
someone who knows their way around
a sword. I bet you’d probably win
the entire tournament if you
competed...
FIGHTER SIDE GATEKEEPER
I repeat, did you, get a Prophecy?
KEVIN
But not you, no, you’re so noble!
To think only of othersFIGHTER
SIDE GATEKEEPER
No Prophecy. No entrance.
ORA
Oh well, Umm...you seem
so...ummm...handsome? Won’t you
just... ha...-
FIGHTER SIDE GATEKEEPER
No.
KEVIN
Hey, Flirt!
FORMOSA
You, are not hideous.
FIGHTER SIDE GATEKEEPER
Please.
KEVIN
(smokey voiced)
If you let us through, you can have
a beer with any of us you choose...
Or...all of us???
FIGHTER SIDE GATEKEEPER
(Laughing)
I’m going to need more than beer to
forget the lot of you.
KEVIN
Okay wait wait. Maybe this will
change your mind about letting us
in? Hu, Hu? Think of It as a bag
full of tiny Prophecies written on
silver coins.
FIGHTER SIDE GATEKEEPER
Ha haha. You’d need five times that
amount for me to let ONE of you
through, much less the lot of you.
Move along.
ORA
Do we have five times that amount?
KEVIN
We don’t even have twice that
amount.
ORA
Looks like another opportunity’s
just arriving.
(MORE)
FORMOSA
Hmmm. A covered wagon. Probably
bringing in supplies.
ORA
If we could just get inside...
FORMOSA
It will have to stop while they
admit that group to the arena. And
with so many people, they’ll block
the Gatekeepers view of the
wagon...
KEVIN
This seems like a bad-
ORA
It’s now or never! Quick!!
KEVIN
Ugh...
FORMOSA
I don’t think the driver heard us.
ORA
We need to hide in case they
inspect the wagon.
KEVIN
Where? There is nothing but crates
in here, there’s not even space toto
get behind them.
WAGON DRIVER
(from outside)
Woah, there. Woah.
ORA
Shit! Just try!
WAGON DRIVER
(from outside)
Hello there, sir. Always a
pleasure. Another load of supplies
for the tourney here.
FIGHTER SIDE GATEKEEPER
Sure, sure. Let’s just have a quick
looksee...
Seriously?
FIGHTER SIDE GATEKEEPER (CONT'D)
I can see you, you’re all in plain
sight! All three of you get out!
And if you try to get past me
again, I’ll have you all arrested.
WAGON DRIVER
What’s going on back there?
FIGHTER SIDE GATEKEEPER
No, Just a few stowaways. You’re
cleared to proceed.
WAGON DRIVER
What is the world coming to,
Heya!
ORA
Well...we could pick a wagon that
has stuff we can hide under...
KEVIN
They’ll be on the lookout now.
FORMOSA
Well, any other ideas?
ORA
How high would you say these walls
are?
SCENE BRAKE
FORMOSA
Here. I found some rope. Now what?
ORA
Oh. Great, throw It over that
branch.
FORMOSA
Ugh!
KEVIN
I still think we should get further
away from the gate.
FORMOSA
Ugh!
ORA
If we go too far, we might end up
climbing over to the spectator’s
side. Besides, we’re out of sight
so we should be fine.
FORMOSA
Ugh! Got It.
ORA
Great.
I’ll go first and then you follow
me.
Oh no.
Ah! Oof
FORMOSA
Look out! The branch!
ORA
What happened?
FORMOSA
I don’t know...the branch was thick
and healthy...It should have held.
ORA
Okay, backup plan. Climb the wall.
KEVIN
I love your confidence, but...
ORA
When Formosa and I reach the top,
we’ll secure the rope and you can
climb up. We can even pull you up
if we have to.
KEVIN
Okay, now that’s just insulting.
ORA
Kevin, you’re the look out. I doubt
you’ll see anyone out here, but
we’ll be completely exposed while
we’re on the wall.
KEVIN
I still don’t know why...
ORA
Ready?
FORMOSA
Ready.
I’m impressed. I didn’t think you’d
climb so well without a rope.
ORA
There are cliffs about two hours
out from my home. Godrick and I
used to climb them all the time.
Sometimes, we even raced.
FORMOSA
Are you proposing a race?
ORA
I am now!
KEVIN
Caw! Caw caw!
Hey! Hey! Hey!!
FORMOSA
Sounds like we’re going to get
company
GUARD
You there!!
FORMOSA
Hurry.
GUARD
All of you! Stop right there!!
KEVIN
I’m gonna’ run for It. I’ll find
you after!
ORA
Kevin!
GUARD
Stop!
FORMOSA
(to Ora)
Hurry! We can meet up with him
later.
GUARD TWO
Come down! Now!!
FORMOSA
But we won’t get the chance if
we’re imprisoned!
FIGHTER SIDE GATEKEEPER
Oh good, when I heard there were
idiots trying to climb the wall I
was hoping It would be you.
ORA
Ignore him.
FIGHTER SIDE GATEKEEPER
If you don’t come down, I’ll have
to kill you. If you do come down,
I’ll only throw you in prison.
ORA
He’s bluffing.
FIGHTER SIDE GATEKEEPER
Oh am I?
Archer, if you please.
FORMOSA
By her stance, she’s experienced.
She won’t miss, not at this range.
ORA
Fine!
We’re coming down!
FIGHTER SIDE GATEKEEPER
Congratulations, you’re officially
arrested.
FORMOSA
Get off of me.
ORA
Don’t worry, Kevin got away. He’ll
be able to help us.
GUARD
Ugh! Here’s the one who ran off.
KEVIN
Oh. Hi, Ora.
ORA
Damn It.
