• Guard : [at the wall]  I'm charged with guarding the portal to another world, and you're asking me to just let you through!

  Young Dunstan Thorn : Yes. Because, let's be honest, it's a field. Look,

  [the guard points to the field at the other side of the wall] 

  Young Dunstan Thorn : Do you see another world out there? No, you see a field. Do you see anything non-human? No. And you know why? Because it's a field!

  Guard : Hundreds of years this wall's been here. Hundreds of years this gap's been under a twenty-four-hour guard.

  Young Dunstan Thorn : Well...

  [the guard interrupts him] 

  Guard : One more word, and I'll have you up in front of the village council!

  Young Dunstan Thorn : Well that... that sounds rather final... I suppose I'd better just go home then...

  Guard : Right then. Night, Dunstan.

  [Dunstan begins to walk away] 

  Guard : Give my best to your father.

  [Suddenly Dunstan turns around and runs and crosses the wall] 

  Guard : Stop! Stop!

  [Dunstan keeps running] 

• [Dunstan walks round the market at Stormhold. He sees a beautiful lady and stares at her. An older woman talks to him] 

  Ditchwater Sal : [to Dunstan]  I don't deal with time wasters.

  Ditchwater Sal : [to her slave girl]  Get over here and tend this stall. I'm off to "The Slaughtered Prince" for a pint.

  [Ditchwater Sal walks away and the slave girl approach Dunstan] 

  Slave Girl : See anything you like?

  Young Dunstan Thorn : [seeing her]  Umm... Definitely.

  [the slave laughs] 

  Young Dunstan Thorn : I mean. What, wha-wha-what I meant was...

  [he sees some flowers] 

  Young Dunstan Thorn : These ones, the blue ones. How-how much are they?

  Slave Girl : They might be the colour of your hair. Or they might be all of your memories before you were three. I can check if you like. Anyway, you shouldn't buy the bluebells.

  [she takes a white flower] 

  Slave Girl : Buy this one instead. Snowdrop. It'll bring you luck.

  Young Dunstan Thorn : But what does that cost?

  Slave Girl : This one

  [meaning the flower] 

  Slave Girl : costs a kiss.

  [the slave girl places the flower in Dunstan's jacket. He is going to kiss her on her cheek, but she turns her mouth towards his. They kiss passionately] 

  Slave Girl : Is she gone?

  [meaning Ditchwater Sal] 

  Slave Girl : Follow me.

  [she walks to the caravan behind her and Dunstan follows her. He notices she has a chain tied round her ankle] 

  Slave Girl : I'm a princess. Tricked into being a witch's slave. Will you liberate me?

  [Dunstan cuts the chain, but it fastens itself again] 

  Slave Girl : It's an enchanted chain. I'll only be free when she dies. Sorry.

  Young Dunstan Thorn : Well... If I can't liberate you. What do you want of me?

  [she gives him her hand and they both climb into the caravan as the camera pans rapidly backwards and upwards]
