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]
