Scene 6: Camelot is a Silly Place
[clop clop clop]
SIR BEDEVERE: And that, my liege, is how we know the earth to
be banana-shaped.
ARTHUR: This new learning amazes me, Sir Bedevere. Explain
again how sheep's bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.
BEDEVERE: Oh, certainly, sir.
SIR LANCELOT: Look, my liege!
[trumpets]
ARTHUR: Camelot!
SIR GALAHAD: Camelot!
LANCELOT: Camelot!
PATSY: It's only a model.
ARTHUR: Shh! Knights, I bid you welcome to your new home. Let
us ride... to... Camelot!
[in medieval hall]
KNIGHTS: [singing]
We're Knights of the Round Table. We dance whene'er we're able. We do
routines and chorus scenes With footwork impeccable. We dine well here
in Camelot. We eat ham and jam and spam a lot.
[dancing]
We're Knights of the Round Table. Our shows are formidable, But many
times we're given rhymes That are quite unsingable. We're opera mad in
Camelot. We sing from the diaphragm a lot.
[in dungeon]
PRISONER: [clap clap clap clap]
[in medieval hall]
KNIGHTS: [tap-dancing]
In war we're tough and able, Quite indefatigable. Between our quests
we sequin vests and impersonate Clark Gable. It's a busy life in
Camelot.
MAN: I have to push the pram a lot.
[outdoors]
ARTHUR: Well, on second thought, let's not go to Camelot. It
is a silly place.
KNIGHTS: Right. Right.
