Dwight in Shining Armor (2018–2021): Season 3, Episode 2 - Glimpse - full transcript

Dwight: Well,
if you didn't know,

here's what happened.

Jacopo: You are a brute.

Not worthy to rescue a maiden
so beautiful as she.

- Oh, thank you.

- Fly away with me, dolcezza.

Agnet: Anywhere, my prince.

Gretta: They are perfect
for each other.

Dwight: Right?

Chlodwig: I give it six months.





Hexela: [gasps] Oh!

[sniffs] Ah.

Oh.

- Hm.

Ah! A lapse candle.

Light the candle,

and time will stop
for all but you

for as long as the candle burns.

- Oh! That's handy.

[door closes]

- Hey, guys.

Whatcha working on?

Gretta: Oo, are these
Ragana's belongings?

- And now they're mine.



- What are these?

- Dancing slippers.



[clanging]

[zip]

- And these?

- Muffin pebbles.

- Oh.

[whoosh]

- Ooh!

Mm. [chuckles]

Hexela: Ah!

It'll hit you like a rock.

- Oh.

Dwight: What's this?

Hexela: Oh, human finger.

- Ahh!

[making scared sounds]

Gretta: [humming quietly]

Oh, what of this?

- More trouble than it's worth.

- No good can come of it.

- Never has, never will.

Dwight: It's just a ring.

Hexela: It's a Glimpse.

- What's a Glimpse?

Baldric: Slip it
on your finger,

it will show you a glimpse
of your future.

- Seriously?

Gretta: So if I were but
to slip this on my finger--

- I would advise against it,
Highness.

Hexela: This particular Glimpse
will only show you something

that will happen to you
within the day.

Baldric: But the future
is best left a mystery.

- True, true.

- Oh, oh, herb oils.

[growling]

Gretta: Sir Dwight and I
will leave you to your task.

Dwight: Oh, what's this thing?

- Sir Dwight,

I think we've caused
enough distraction.

- But--

- Out we go.

- I just wanted to--

- Enjoy.

Baldric and Hexela:
[talking indistinctly]

[door closes]



Dwight: Okay, so about
a thousand years ago,

there was this princess, Gretta,
and she was in big trouble,

'cause she had lots of enemies
and not a lot of friends.



So, her court magician, Baldric,
cast the Champion spell.

It put everyone in the woods
to sleep

until a champion would come,
break the spell with his kiss,

and deal with Gretta's
big, scary enemies.

But that guy never showed up.

Instead--

Aah!

[kiss]

--they got me.

Aah!



Ow!





[birds chirping]

[snoring]

Dwight: You think
that was a real finger?

I mean, she was just
messing with me, right?

- Chlodwig!

- What's amiss?

- What say you, fellows?

Who wants to see their future?

- Uh, what about what they said

about leaving the future
a mystery?

- [blows a raspberry]

Chlodwig: What is this bauble?

Gretta: 'Tis a Glimpse.

Put it on your finger,

and it will show you
your future.

Dwight: Actually, just something
that'll happen to you that day.

- You jest.

- I wouldn't do that.

- AAAAHHH!

[crowd chatter]

[thunk]

AAAHH!

- Dude, you okay?

Gretta: What did you see?

- A nightmare of horrors.

You are certain I will be met
with this fate today?

- So said the witch.

- I am undone.

Gretta: Surely not.

Perhaps if I just have a look.

Dwight: Bad idea!

- Hm.

[gasp]

[crash]

[crowd yelling]

AAAAHHH!

Dwight: Let me guess,

you saw something
you wish you hadn't.

- Uh-huh.

Dwight: Because no good can come
from knowing the future.

Chlodwig: Were you
in the Swine and Slosh Tavern?

- Mm-hm.

Chlodwig: And were you being
treated with an indignity

ill-fitting to one
of your station?

We must know more.

- Don't.

[clicking]

- Nothing.

- Because you've already
seen your glimpse for today.

Dwight: That seems right.



What?

What?

Hey, guys, no.

No, no, no.

No, I am staying out of thi--

Hey! Ow!

[crowd jeering]

Dwight: Stop, please!

Aah!

Now everybody's throwing veggies
at me!

[thunk]

AAAHH!

Uhh!

- Bad?

- Pretty bad.

Chlodwig: Were you
in the Swine and Slosh Tavern?

- Uh-huh.

Chloddwig: And were you being
treated with--

- Serious indignity.

- 'Twas fortunate we found
the Glimpse when we did.

Now that we've seen our future,
we may prevent it.

- Don't think
that's how it works.

Gretta: We know
the heinous events happen

at the Swine and Slosh Tavern.

- 'Tis a problem.

Dwight: 'Tis?

- It is the end of the month,

and I must pay my tavern tab
today without fail.

Gretta: No, Chlodwig.

None of us shall step foot

into the Swine and Slosh
Tavern today.

Then, no ill fortune
can befall us.

- Of course.

- You sure about that?

Chlodwig: We shall leave fate
stranded like a jilted bride.

Gretta: None of us steps foot
out of this hut until tomorrow.

- Wait, what?

Chlodwig: An infallible plan.

We bar the doors
and open them for no one.

- There isn't even
a bathroom in here!

- The hut is amply stocked
with salted squirrel meat.

- Dude,
we said no more squirrel.

[pounding on door]

- Oh, who could that be?

Dwight and Gretta: Wait!

[thunk]

[thud]

- Chlodwig!

Unhand him!

That is a royal command.

- If you've got a grievance,
take it up with Hellibad.

[dragging]

Dwight: Who's Hellibad?

- The proprietor
of the Swine and Slosh Tavern.

- Hm.

- What have you there?

[shaking]

- It's difficult to say.

- Hm.

- [grunting with effort]

Hm. Ah.

Why is this so hard to open?

[pop]

[gasp]

[scream]

[crash]

AAAHHH!

[whizzing and shrieking]

Get it off! Get it off!

- Hexie! Hexie!

[creature growls]

- Good heavens!

[shrieking and stomping]

Die! Die!

Oh! Ow!

[zipping]

[deflated] Oh.

[splash]

[coughing and sputtering]

Hellibad: All tabs are due.

You've run up quite a tab.

You've got my money?

But, if you'll allow me
to go retrieve it.

Edenbery Elf owes me 60 crowns.

Once he pays me, I can pay you--

[crash]

With interest.

- You can't pay?

Then you work.

- Work?

Hellibad: For three days.

Dwight: Three days?

Come on, that's a bit excessive.

- And you are...

friends of his?

Gretta: Indeed, we are.

Contend with him,
and you contend with all of us.

- Fair enough.

Get to work, missy.

- I beg your pardon?

Hellibad: You too.

Scrub the floor.

- Wh-What--
now, hold up just a second.

- One worker for three days
or three workers for one day.

It's all the same to me.

Gretta: You're suggesting
that I should--

- Dear cousin Gretta,
dear brother Dwight.

Every man should be blessed
with friends like you.

Hellibad: Get to work!

No, no.

Hyah-ha-ha!

[sigh]

Who killed my troubadour?

- He all but asked for it.

He's fine.

- [under breath] Go that way!

Baldric: Oh, a speed demon!

- Horrid little beast!

- Aaahhhh!

[crash]

[zipping]

[creature laughing]

[thudding of vegetables]

- Ugh!

[crowd booing]

Gretta: Sir Dwight
is besieged on all sides.

- Cowering
like a lily-livered ninny.

- You.

You.

[growls]

[grunting]

You look thirsty,
little blonde piggy!

[crash]

Crowd: Ohh!

- Oh, mamma mía!

[crashing]

[punching and yelling]

[punch]

[yelling]

[crash]

[thud]

[creature giggling]

[zipping and crashing]

- Why on earth

would Ragana have
a speed demon in a bottle?

- Pppffftt!

[tearing]

[gasping and growling]

- And how are we
to get it back into the bottle?

- There may be a way.

[chattering]

Sometimes the simplest solution
is the best.

[shushing]

[muttered] Three, two, one, go.

[thud]

[laughter]

But not this time!

[screaming and shrieking]

[yelling and crashing]

[screaming]

[punching and yelling]

Dwight: [whimpering]

Jacopo: Oh, there you are!

[punching and yelling]

What kind of champion are you,
hiding behind a stool?

- You're hiding behind me,
hiding behind the stool!

- I can't engage in fisticuffs.

I make a living
with these hands.

[kiss]

- Hey!

No brawling in my tavern!

Ohh!

[crash]

- Whatever happened
with you and Agnet?

Oh, no!

Man, I am so sorry!

I really liked you guys
together.

What happened?

- She was eaten
by a rampaging giant.

[thud]

- We're gonna need
a bigger stool!

How about we head
for that speaker stack?

Jacopo: What's a speaking snack?

- The-- the speaker stack!

You know, the thing
that's connected to the--

The mic.

Hang on, cover me.

- 'Scuse me?

- [breathing heavily]

[tapping microphone]

[loud, piercing mic feedback]

Hey! Testing.

Uh, you heard the man,

no brawling
in Hellibad's tavern.

[crashing and punching]

[loud, piercing mic feedback]

We can do this all day.

[crash]

Jacopo: What-a now?

- It is time for a retreat.

Chlodwig: There's no honor
in retreat.

Dwight: There's no honor

in getting trampled to death
either.

- Confound that Glimpse!

If we hadn't have seen
our future,

Chlodwig would have
paid his tab today.

- And we could have
skipped all this.

- You're right.

Dwight: I say we crawl.

- Like cowards.

- Exactly like cowards.

Right out that door.

[punching and yelling]

[growling]

- Crawl, little piggy, crawl.

Chlodwig: I'm not a piggy!

- That's exactly
what the little piggy would say!

[punching and yelling]

[creature chattering]

Hexela: Where is it?

[creature chattering]

Baldric: There!
Hexela: Ahh!

Baldric: There!
Hexela: Ahh!

[zipping]

Baldric: There!

[creature squeaking]

Try as it will,
it shall not pass.

[creature chattering]

[door opens]

[yelling]

- Ah--

Oh, that could prove a problem.

[car brakes screech]

[crash]

- What was that?

Hexela: What was what?

[crashing]

Baldric: I saw nothing.

Uh, what have you three kids
been up to today, hm?

- Hm?

- Just learning life lessons
the hard way.

Chlodwig: Sir Dwight
should never be allowed

to sing in public.

Baldric: Ah, yes.

- Ughh.

- Really?

That's the big takeaway?

Come on, bud.

Gretta: I have, in fact,
learned my lesson.

- Hm?

- The future
is best left a mystery.

- [gasps] Mm.

Baldric: Princ-- Mm.

my darling lady fair, ♪

Mr. Dale: Now, that makes
two hundred and five.

How many bones
am I supposed to have in all?

Sir Aldred: Two hundred and six.

And not just you, everybody.

- We're so close!

- Although kneecaps
are technically sesamoids.

- Ahh.

To be back in my--

immense, massive,
terrifying body again.

- I await the day most keenly,

when my vast powers
can team with your vast powers.

Soon, the brotherhood
of the Tovenaars will be back.

- Ha-ha!

We shall roast our enemies
on spits!

- If you like.

- We shall feast
on their brains and innards!

- Uh... cheers.

[clink]

- Another Pineapple Shasta!

- Mm.

- It's the end of the month,
gents.

Tabs are due.

- Huh.

Do you have any notion
who we are?

- A couple of puffkins
that owe me 40 crowns?

- [laughs]

Hm.

Would you like to see
a magic trick?

- Keep your tricks.

[paper rustling]

[paper rustling]

[paper rustling]

[whoosh]

[squawking]

Jacopo: Bravo!

Magnifico!

Fantastico!

- Oh!

Oh-ho-ho!

Uh--

Do a puppy.

- Oh, no--

Sir Aldred: No need.

Congratulations, my good fellow.

This tavern is now yours.

[parrot squawking]

I have a good feeling about you.

I trust you'll be
more accommodating

than our parrot friend?

[parrot squawking]

- I live to serve, signore.
