Scene 1
(Fort Castello, Asturia)
(a young man in khaki pants and a sleveless red top and a young girl with pink hair approach through the mists)
Pyle: Halt! Who goes there?
Van: I am Van Slanzar de Fanel, son of Gou Fanel, from the Castle of Fanelia. King of the Fanelians, defeator of the Zaibachs and soverieghn of all Fanelia.
Pyle: Pull the other one!
Van: I am... And this is my faithful catgirl, Merle. We have traveled the length and breadth of this land searching for brave samurai to join me in my court at Fanelia.
Pyle: What? Traveled in Escaflowne?
Van: Yes.
Pyle: You're using piscus gourds.
Van: What?
Pyle: You've got two halves of a piscus gourd and you're banging them together.
Van: We have traveled since winter, through the mountains of Chatatal, through...
Pyle: Where'd you get the piscus gourds?
Van: We bought them.
Pyle: Bought them? You can't have bought them, they're out of season.
Van: What do you mean?
Pyle: Piscus gourds grow for only a few short months at the hieght of summer and right now it's early spring.
Van: I didn't have my energist handy and it would have been too troublesome to go out and kill another dragon. An energist, like a piscus gourd can be found in the ground, more specifically, buried in a dragon graveyard, yet these are not strangers to our suits.
Pyle: Are you suggesting that piscus gourds are related to energists?
Van: Not at all. It could have been preserved.
Pyle: Preserved? In the ground?
Van: It's not impossible.
Pyle: It's not a matter of how it's preserved, it's a matter of energy.
Van: It doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master that Van Fanel is here?
Pyle: Listen. To maintain air-speed velocity a guymelef needs the abundant amounts of energy found in the drag-energists in order to fuel itself. Am I right?
Van: Please.
Pyle: Am I right?
Van: I'm not interested.
Kio: It could be that the gourd can supply some small amount of energy.
Pyle: Oh, yeah, but gourds only supply so much before it gets used up.
Kio: Oh, yeah, I agree with that.
Van: Will you go and ask your master if he want's to join me in my court at Fanelia?
Kio: But then of course it could have been dried for storage.
Pyle: oh, yeah...
Kio: But even if it were preserved, a piece of dried fruit probably wouldn't have enough energy to fuel a guymelef.
(Van and Merle ride off in disgust)
Kio: Wait a minute! Supposing it was preserved in a dragon graveyard!
Pyle: It's still just a gourd.
Kio: It could have soaked up some of the extra energy.
Pyle: But there's still the matter of enropy.
Kio: Well why not?

Someone had to do it. It had to be done. Might as well be me as anyone else. Please reveiw and tell me what you think.
I don't own Escaflowne. I don't own Monty Pythons "King Arthur and the Holy Grail."
