ARCHIMEDES: In a tumble-down old tower in the most miserable old castle in all Christendom, that's where.
MERLIN: Castle? (1)___________?
ARCHIMEDES: Don't you even remember the (2)___________?
MERLIN: The boy?
SIR ECTOR: Can't you remember one blasted thing?
MERLIN: Oh, now, just a moment. I-I-I….
SIR ECTOR: Tight grip on the lance.
MERLIN: Oh….
SIR ECTOR: Loosen the saddle, knees in tight. Weight forward and stay on target. You keep losing your grip.
SIR PELLINORE: It's not a mere matter of muscle, son. Jousting is a fine skill. It's a highly developed science.
MERLIN: Ha. Science, indeed. One dummy trying to knock off another dummy with a bit of a stick.
ARCHIMEDES: And the Wart's just as hot for it as the rest of them.
MERLIN: He certainly is. That boy's got real spark. Lots of spirit. Throws himself heart and soul into everything he does. That's really worth something if it can only be turned in the right direction.
ARCHIMEDES: Haha. Fat chance of that.
MERLIN: Oh, I plan to cheat, of course. Use magic. Every last trick in the trade if I have to.
WART: I'd give anything to go riding about on a great white charger, slaying dragons and griffins and man-eating giants.
MERLIN: Well, won't you?
WART: Oh, no, you see, I'm an orphan, and a knight must be of proper birth. I only hope I'm worthy to be Kay's squire. That's a big job too, you know.
MERLIN: Oh, indeed, yes, yes. I would say almost impossible. Yes. Well, now then. When I said that I could swim like a fish, I really meant as a fish.
WART: You mean you can turn yourself into a fish?
MERLIN: After all, I happen to be a (3)___________.
WART: Could you turn me into a (4)___________?
MERLIN: Well, do you have any imagination? Can you (5)___________ yourself as a fish?
WART: Oh, that's easy. I've done that lots of times.
MERLIN: Oh. Well, good. Then I think that my (6)___________ can do the rest. Ah… Archimedes, what is that fish formula?
ARCHIMEDES: Huh? Who? Who? What? Who?
MERLIN: You know, that Latin business.
ARCHIMEDES: Fish? Latin? Oh, ah, Aquarius aquaticus aqualitus. And now if you don't mind, I say good day to the both of you, if you please.
MERLIN: When he stays out all night, he's always grumpy the next morning.
WART: Then he must stay out every (7)___________.
MERLIN: Yes, yes, yes. Oh. Oh yes. Oh I say, that's very good, boy. Very. Haha
ARCHIMEDES: Who? What? What?
MERLIN: All right, boy. All set. Here we go. Aquarius aquaticus aqualitus quum. Aqua digi tarium.
WART: Merlin, am I a fish? Am I a fish?
MERLIN: Yes. Yes, yes, yes, you are a fish but if you don't stop that flippity-flopping around and get in the (8)___________, you won't last long. Now-now, stay right here in the tules and I'll be with you in a minute. [Later, in the water]. So you thought you could take right off like a shot, did you?
WART: Well, I am a fish, aren't I?
MERLIN: You merely look like a fish. That doesn't mean that you can (9)___________like one. You don't have the instinct. So, you'll have to use your-your brain for a change. You are living between two planes now. Somewhere between the ceiling and the floor. Now, there's lots of ups and downs like ah, like a (10)___________.
WART: Helicopter?
