Script Part 5

The whirpool settles leaving Taran, Gurgi, Princess Eilonwy, and Fflewddur Fflam on a floor of an underground realm. Exhausted from the whirpool, they sleep, as some young "locals" observe them.

Little Boy 1: Uhoh! How did they get in here?

Little Boy 2: Ha! Old Doli's whirpool broke again! ( begins to giggle )

Little Girl: I think they wake up soon. We'd better tell King Eidilleg.

Little Boy 2: No, silly! You know we're not supposed to be up here!

Little Girl: Uhoh, we are going to be in trouble!

Little Boy 2: Not me! ( and turns invisible )

Little Girl: Me either! ( she starts to fly away then sees the king coming toward her, she turns invisible. ) Uhoh!

King Eidilleg has come to inspect how the fixing of the whirpool is coming. Doli, Eidilleg's grumpy, hot-tempered, sharp-witted servent, is trying to fix the whirlpool.

Eidillig: Oh , yes, I see you fixed that.

Doli: Yyeeuppp! When I get...... this pole.... up here.. I'll be finished!

Eidilleg: Good! Yes, it SHOULD work.

Doli: It's PERFECT!!! ( the structure suddenly breaks ) Grab that pole!

Eidilleg: Ugh! I've got it! ( the whole thing falls apart )

Eilonwy: Aren't you all darling!

Eidilleg: Oh, uh, hello. I'm King Eidilleg of the Fair Folk and this...

Doli: How in the blazes did they get in here?!?! ( the whole structure collapses on them )

Eidilleg:( to Doli ) I thought I told you to fix the whirlpool!

Doli: I fixed it! I did fix it! It was perfect!

Eidilleg: Evidently not completely perfect! Its supposed to keep them OUT! ( turns back to our heros ) Uh, can I be of any service?

Doli: Is everything that happens around here MY fault?!

Eidilleg: Are you here on a friendly visit?

Doli: And I suppose it's my fault that the pig's here, too!

Taran: Hen Wen ?

Eidilleg: Oh, she's your pig!

Doli: Oh, GOOD! One less thing for old Doli to worry about!

Eidilleg: Oh, Doli !!! ( calling to him )

Doli: What now?!?!

Eidilleg: Would you hurry up and fetch the pig?

Doli: PIG?!?! ( he flies off and takes off his hat and kicks it, then sees some young fair folk giggling at him ) HEY, YOU KIDS! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!

Little Girl: Oh, oh, Mr. Doli. I just want to see the pretty lady.

Doli: Alright, but you watch yourself, ya hear? ( all the Fair Folk go to see the visitors)

Eilonwy: I cannot believe my eyes your Majesty! ( she laughs as the Fair Folk swarm around her. )

Doli: Watch it! Watch it! ( Hen Wen comes running through, trampling Doli, eager to see Taran. )

Taran: Oh, Hen ! Thank goodness you're safe! ( Hen Wen lands on Taran's lap, and he he pets her. )

Eidillig:( to Fflewddur ) Tell me, is the burning and killing, STILL going on up there?

Fflewddur: You're refuring to, tha, that, that joke on humanity, the Horned King!

Eidillig: Well no one ever stands UP to him!

Taran: We've seen him. And if he finds the cauldron ( pause, and looks at Hen Wen ) He'll kill us all!

Eidillig: Oh, no, no! He'll never find it! No, no! It's safely hidden, in Morva.

Taran: Morva?

Eidillig: Well, at least I think it is. (then calls ) Oh, Doli ! Is it?!

Doli: Yeeeep! Is that my new job?! Remembering where the cauldron was last seen!

Eidillig: Oh, he'll know right where it is! You'll see!

Taran: If we could get to the cauldron first... and destroy it!

Eilonwy: Oh, it isn't right Taran.

Taran: Don't you see? If we destroy the cauldron, it would stop the Horned King! ( then looks at Eilonwy, and holds her hand ) Please, come with me?

Eidillig: Well, I never thought of Morva! That's a hard place to get to!

Doli: Yeeeuuuppp!

Eidillig: Why, you can take them!

Doli: What?!?!

Fflewddur: You mean, trusting our lives to, a, to him? ( Doli flies crossly to him. And Fflewddur hides his face behind his harp. )

Doli: And what, is wrong, with ME!?!?

Fflewddur: Oh! Ah, nothing! Splendid choice in fact! Heh, heh.( a string on his harp breaks )

Eidilleg: (to the Fair Folk) Shall we then ?

The Fair Folk turn invisible and lift our heros to the exit of the realm.

Gurgi: Oooooooohhhhhh!!

Taran: Oh, wait!!! Hen Wen.

Eidilleg: Don't worry! We'll get her home safely!

Taran: Thank you, sir! Be good Hen!

The companions float up, and on thier way to The Marshes of Morva.
