Do you think he's really coming?

OTHER COMMONERS

The Black Knight?

CHANDLER THE CANDLE MAKER

Yeah, how do we know he's even real?

OTHER COMMONERS

I ain't never seen him. I ain't never seen him.

ANNIE

Jack, listen& they're talking about the Black Knight. Let's go ask them-

(JACK puts his finger to his lips to warn ANNIE to be quiet.)

BARTLEY OF THE BARLEY MEADOW

Of course he's coming, the whole reason the Duke is throwing this party is to win favor with the Black Knight.

JACK

Annie, this is medieval times, you can't just walk into a castle unannounced. Trust me.

(RED addresses MUSTACHE, SQUINTY and the CASTLE SENTRIES.)

RED

Looks like a rough crowd, show me what you got, men!

(THE COMMONERS approach.)

SHARON THE SHEEP SHEARER

We just want to catch sight of the Black Knight.

CHANDLER THE CANDLE MAKER

We won't eat nothing.

BARTLEY OF THE BARLEY MEADOW

We promise.
