*The Once and Future Queen*
Gwen: Why are toi doing this?
Arthur: I fear that people respect me just because of my title.
Gwen: I don't believe that's true of everyone.
Arthur: Would toi tell me if it were?
Gwen: No.
Arthur: When I'm competing as William, my titre doesn't matter, nobody gives me any special treatment. So, when I win this tournament, if I win this tournament, it will be because I deserve it. Not because I am Prince Arthur
Arthur: I think I'll take a bath.
Gwen: That might be difficult, seeing as I don't have a bath tub.
Arthur: Really? Perhaps toi could prepare me a bowl of hot water. I take it toi have a bowl.
Gwen: I think I can manage a bowl. I'll just walk all the way down to the well and fetch some water, then, shall I?
(Arthur stretches not paying her any attention. Gwen, annoyed, gets ready to leave).
Arthur: Is this where toi sleep? Where's your bed?
Gwen: You're sleeping in it.
Arthur: Why didn't toi say something?
Gwen: How could I? You're Prince Arthur. Besides, toi didn't give me the chance. toi just assumed the lit was yours.
Arthur: How am I supposed to know if toi don't tell me?
Gwen: toi shouldn't need to be told to think of someone other than yourself. You're not a child.
Arthur: If there's something toi want to say to me, don't let me stop you.
Gwen: toi don't have any idea, do you?
Arthur: About what?
Gwen: About how rude and arrogant toi can be! This is my accueil and toi are my guest in it! I know toi are used to plus luxurious quarters, but that is not an excuse to be so rude! toi claim titles don't matter to you, but toi behave like a prince and expect me to wait on toi like a servant. Saying it means nothing if your actions betray you! Would it kill toi to say please and thank toi once in a while?... my Lord
Gwen: I didn't mean to make toi feel bad.
Arthur: Oh, really?
Gwen: (Smiling) Perhaps a little.
Arthur: There's no excuse. I'll make it up to you. Tonight I will make dîner for you
Arthur: So, do I have any plus annoying habits toi wish to tell me about?
Gwen: No. None.
Arthur: There's something else, isn't there? What is it?
Gwen: Well, the truth is, toi snore.
Arthur: I do not snore.
Gwen: (Giggling) toi do. The first night toi were here, I thought a pig had got into the house.
Arthur: So now I'm a pig. Thank you, Guinevere.
Gwen: I just meant toi sound like a pig.
(Arthur's face twists up in distaste)
Gwen: (Giggles) I think I'd better stop talking.
Arthur: Look, I can kill a chicken from a thousand paces, just don't ask me to cook it. That's what servants are for. (She makes a face) I didn't mean it like that.
Gwen: I'm not ashamed to be a servant. At least I'm not a liar.
Arthur: We had a nice meal together. What does it matter where it came from?
Gwen: Because I thought you'd shown some humility! toi had done something kind for me even though I'm just a servant! A good king should respect his people no matter who they are.
(She starts to turn around but Arthur grabs her arm to avoid it)
Arthur: Guinevere (They stare at each other) I know I have much to learn. There are some things that I'm terrible at, cooking being one of them. But also... knowing what to say to someone I care about.
Arthur: I'll sleep on the floor tonight.
Gwen: No. Have my bed. toi need to be well rested for the tournament tomorrow.
Arthur: I'll not hear of it
Arthur: One plus match, tourney will be over.
Gwen: toi can go back to being Prince Arthur. (Handing him a white piece of cloth) Erm... I thought toi might wear it... for luck.
Arthur: Thank you.
(They stare at each other, Gwen looks uncomfortable while Arthur smiles at her. Suddenly he leans forwards and kisses her. When the Kiss breaks, it's Arthur who looks uncomfortable)
Arthur: I must go.
Arthur: His lance pierced my armour.
Gwen: You're losing too much blood.
Arthur: Do what toi can. I have to be back on the course within five minutes ou I forfeit the match.
Gwen: toi can't possibly joust. toi are too badly injured.
Arthur: I have never withdrawn from a match. I do not intend to start now.
Gwen: toi would risk your life to protect your pride? toi have nothing to prove, least of all to me.
Arthur: I have everything to prove... to myself.
Gwen: I thought this was going to be your moment of glory.
Arthur: Perhaps this... is a time for humility.
(Gwen smiles)
Arthur: Guinevere. (Clears throat) What happened while I was staying with you... I'm afraid my father would never understand.
Gwen: toi don't have to explain. Perhaps when toi are king... things will be different.
(They stare at each other)
Gwen: Why are toi doing this?
