Galavant (2015–2016): Season 2, Episode 3 - Aw, Hell, the King - full transcript

Desperate to raise an army and storm Hortensia, Galavant and King Richard return to his former castle to find the village thriving, now that they've found democracy. The discovery causes Richard to have an identity crisis now that his people don't need him. Galavant uses a town hall meeting to recruit fighters from the village, but volunteers are in short supply. In Hortensia, an evil wedding planner named Wormwood poisons Isabella's mind with an enchanted tiara, intent on making her help him take over the kingdom.

This was a hallway!

Hallway, hallway, hallway,

my room, fireplace!

This is where I kept my formal
crowns, my casual crowns,

my "just for fun" crowns.

Yes, this is definitely
where my castle was!

Okay, are we done?

Because I either need to find your army

or I need to go and find another one

so I can go and save Isabella.

Oh, relax, chisel chin. You'll get my army.



I just have to figure out where they went,

and if they took my castle with them.

Strangest thing...

I-I know I've never seen
this village before,

and yet somehow it seems
oddly familiar to me.

I say, peasant, I have a question,

and please don't get all star-struck

because I'm speaking to you directly.

No way! It's you!

I know. You're flustered.

Guys, look, it's Sir Galavant,
the famous knight!

Hello. Hi.

What a thrill!

Is there perhaps someone else
here you recognize?



Maybe...Your king?

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Greetings, lowly ones!
It is I, King Richard!

I have returned! Good to see you again.

So, I have a question.

What the hell happened to my castle?!

Yeah, we, uh... We sort of tore it down

to make homes and shops for everybody.

Oh, well, that would explain
the familiarity.

You knocked it down?!

I demand you rebuild it immediately,

or I will have every one of you
drawn and quartered and...

What's going on?

W-why are they not scurrying
to do my bidding?

Oh, well, here's the thing.

When you left us to go in search
of the Jewel of Valencia,

we didn't hear anything
for a really long time.

All right, that's fair. That's on me.

I should've sent a pigeon or two.

Yeah, but while you were away,

we realized that a king is only a king

if the people say he is.

And if they don't,

well, he's just a man with a metal hat

who's only in charge

because his father wore
a metal hat before him,

which is pretty crazy
if you think about it.

You know, he's... He's got a point.

It is pretty crazy.

Hmm. So, then we came together
and asked ourselves,

"what if there was a different
way of doing things?

A better way?

A fairer way?"

Oh, no. I know what's coming.

I swear to God, I will freak out

because I just lost my [Bleep] castle!

Touchy.

Galavant S02E03
Aw, Hell, The King

Hello, my friend.

Richard!

Surprise!

What are you doing here?

Oh, just thought I'd pop in for a visit.

Come here, you. Give us a hug.

Oh. My favorite crown.

Don't worry. I'll get it.

What the hey, Gareth?

Aah!

Oh, bloody hell. Not again!

That is the third time this week

the king has woken me
because of his screaming!

I think he's having bad dreams, My Queen.

I want you to fix it.

How do I do that?

Not my problem.

What is my problem is

his screaming is interrupting
my beauty sleep,

and do you know what happens

when a queen loses her beauty sleep?

She can sleep in later
because she's a queen

and she can do whatever she wants?

She could get a wrinkle.

And if she gets a wrinkle...

She'll make sure you get a wrinkle.

On your neck!

I'm sorry. I'm not being very clear.

I'm really tired. What I'm trying to say is

if you don't fix it, I'll cut your throat.

Okay? Nighty-night.

"No. I never loved you, Isabella."

"But I don't understand, Galavant."

"Too bad, sucker. I'm outie."

Play it again.

Oh, apologies, My Lady,

but do you really think it's healthy

to keep reliving this breakup
with Galavant?

I said, play it again.

"I'm Galavant, the jerkiest jerk
in all the land!"

Excuse us, Jester.

May we have a moment with our daughter?

Oh, thank God.

Sweetheart...

As you know, we're very sorry
about Galavant ditching you.

He dropped you like a plague rat.

But it's been several days,

and that biological sundial
of yours continues to grow long

- if you know what I mean.
- You're 25!

My mother was a great-grandmother by then!

And while we're happy you agreed

to be forced to marry your cousin,

maybe it's time to start
making some decisions, hmm?

At least meet the wedding planner.

He's very excited to meet you.

I don't care about any of it

if I'm not marrying someone I love.

Oh, sweetheart!

Marriage isn't about love!

Let me introduce you to Mr. Wormwood!

Princess Isabella, how delightful.

Chester Wormwood of
Wormwood Weddings and Events.

I'm here solely to serve
your every wish and desire.

This is our new Rec Center.

We're very proud of it.

Oh...My...God.

Those curtains used to be my sheets.

I know because I had the R's embroidered

with the plucked hairs of
all the kingdom's redheads!

You'll find we've turned
everything from the castle

into something for the common good.

Are you sure you're not planning
some big surprise

where you're gonna wheel away
some huge wagon

to reveal you've rebuilt
my castle but only better, huh?

Sorry, buddy.

Ah! Oh!

"Buddy!"

Oh, great. That's what it is now.

It's not "My King" or "Your
Worship" or "Your Highness."

It's "buddy."

God!

I have a question.

Do you still have an army?

A citizen's army, yeah.

Good. I'd like to use it
to invade Hortensia.

Absolutely not.

Really?

Well, hang on.
I thought this was a democracy.

Aren't you supposed
to let the people decide?

Oh, yeah.

Tell you what, there's
a town-hall meeting tonight

where anybody can bring up new business.

- Why don't you give it a shot there?
- Okay.

Now, I can't imagine
a free people ever voting

to send an army into an
open-ended foreign conflict

which profits only the few.

That would be madness.

Well, s-sure.

But you're forgetting one thing.

This smile.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. It's nice, isn't it?

Help, help!

- That's my tunic!
- Get off, get off!

Sir, have you been having
bad dreams?

Who's been telling you
I'm having bad dreams?

The queen!

She's heard you screaming
at night and wants me to help!

- Come here.
- Oh, God, this is it!

Shut up!

I'm not gonna kill ya!

Yes, okay.

I've been having bad dreams
about King Richard.

I don't know what to do.

Well, when I was younger,
I had a recurring nightmare.

But then my mom helped me
figure out what it meant,

and it went away.

No, this is more complicated than that.

It's more of a riddle.

I'm always holding king Richard's crown!

He's accusing me of betraying him.

Yeah, that's a real enigma.

Do you think that maybe you're feeling...

I don't know... A little...Guilty?

What's "guilty"?

Oh, um...

When you feel bad about what you've done.

That's not a thing!

I'm wasting my time talking to you!

What do you think?

How about "die for the guy
who wants his gal"?

See, "Gal" is a play
on your name, and it rhymes.

Yeah, I think it's good.

I just think it's a bit dumb for me.

Oh, oh, but it's not too dumb for me?

Can't even write a slogan
for a stupid election.

I'm not a writer. I'm not a castle owner.

I'm not a king.

Do we have to do this again?

Do what? Realize I'm in
the darkest hour of my soul?!

Just go win your stupid election.

Okay.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- Galavant.
- It's an honor.

Are all the stories true?

Hi. King Richard.

Or is it just "Richard"?

Honestly, I have no idea what I am.

Ah, Barry, the princess is on her way.

Now, remember, not a word about my plan.

The wedding plan?

I thought that's why she's coming.

No, the evil plan, you idiot...

The one to control her mind
with this enchanted tiara

and take over the kingdom.

I thought that was the scheme.

No, the scheme is the colors.

I'm confused.

Barry, I swear to God...

Okay, for Clarity's sake, from now on,

we'll call it "The Wedding Plan,"

"The Evil Plot," and "The Color Scheme."

Got it? Good.

Oh, she's here. Be cool.

Princess Isabella!

How delightful. Welcome.

Let's just get this over with.

I don't care, I don't care,

Mother, I may have agreed to get married,

- Unh!

All those in favorous
of moving the drinking well

away from the graveyard say, "yea."

Yea! Yea! Yea! Yea!

So, they would prefer to decide
their fate by majority opinion

rather than being ruled by me,

whose right to kingship
was passed down from ancestors

said to be a god and a mermaid.

Fools.

What are you? The town drunk?

I wish.

At least then I'd know
what I was supposed to be.

That position was already taken.

Lucky bastard.

Right, that concludes all old business,

uh, but I do believe we have
one bit of new business.

Galavant, the floor is yours.

Hello. Galavant.

I've come to ask
to take your army to Hortensia

to rescue my one true love.

Who? Madalena?

No. Isabella.

Didn't you already do this?

I don't think I'm quite
explaining this properly.

You see, Isabella is actually
being held hostage.

We know. In Valencia.

Uh, no. Again, that's Madalena.

Isabella is in Hortensia.

I don't think he knows
what he's talking about.

No, I do.

You're just not listening.

It's true love, people.
I just need your vote. Please?

Uh, die for the guy who loves his gal?

Boo!

Can you hear yourself?

- Look, hey, listen...
- Hero?! More like zero!

You suck!

I can't believe what I'm hearing!

Standing before you
is a man of noble intention,

a man who knows what his purpose is...

To be a hero!

And I admire that.

While I am no longer your king...

Unless, of course, you'd like
to put it to a quick vote?

All in favor? Yes?

Anyone? Hmm? No?

Fine.

But if I were still your king,

I would force every one of you
to join this man's army,

not because I was a tyrant
and a terrible leader

who hosted baby fights,

which I now realize is weird
and not that entertaining,

even after the addition of the cobra,

but because true love is rare
and worth fighting for.

It is life's greatest purpose.

So...

As someone who is "not" your king...

I ask...

Who will join this fight for true love?

I will join, King Richard!

Well, there we go. That's a good start.

Right. Who's next?

Anyone at all?

Well, this is certainly uncomfortable.

Pbht.

Aah!

You did this to me!

Aah!

Shh! Are you trying to get me killed?!

I saw his head! It was right there!

And it was giving me that look.

My King, I think I know what's going on.

Richard was your friend.

And, yes, you took his throne
and his queen and his kingdom

and his favorite shirts
and his weekly bridge game...

Oh, get on with it!

But the fact you feel bad
about it is a good thing.

It means you're actually,
surprisingly, human.

Maybe I do feel guilty.

I do miss the old bastard.

Look, there was one other thing

my mother used to do for my dreams.

♪ Good dreams only ♪

♪ Good dreams only ♪

♪ Bad dreams out of his head ♪

♪ It's time tonight ♪

♪ For dreams of fright ♪

♪ To leave this little boy's bed ♪

There's one more in there.

Oh.

So, what now?

I'm off to Hortensia to rescue Isabella,

recruit some soldiers along the way,

and after that, march to
Valencia to reclaim her kingdom.

Well, I have a surprise.

Your old pal Rick's gonna join you!

What? No. No, no, no, no.

You said you were gonna stay
here and figure out who you are.

And I did. I realized I'm the guy

who's going to help you rescue Isabella.

Even though, technically,

I'm the guy who started the whole disaster.

So, what do you say?

Why not?

Awesome! You, me, Roberta.

Oh, this is Roberta, by the way.

Do you remember her
from... from the election?

She stood up, pledged to join me.

Watch this.

Oh, Roberta?

Yes, My King?

She calls me "king."

Oh, my God.

Oh, this is gonna be so much fun!

No, it's not.

Well, we should probably go.

I stole these horses and just
set fire to the Rec Center.

Dismantle my castle, will you?

Princess Isabella,

isn't there something
you might want to say?

Good news, everyone!

I've set a date for my wedding.

It's in six weeks, and you're all invited!

Does something seem different
about Princess Isabella?

Who cares? She's getting married!

Boom! Boom!
