For AJ
Scene 4
Arthur slowly gets up, his sobs begin to diminish, he walks over to the refrigerator, grabs a beer, chugs it, sighs in relief.
He shrugs: "I love her, (is walking over to throne) but how can a great king possible lead his people without a beautiful woman at his side?
"Will people still respect me?" (Takes a swig, he's comfortable, leg over arm of chair)
'If I go after Guinevere, it will strike a bad chord in the friendship of Lancelot and myself...
"But if I don't, I will appear weak, careless, undetermined to fight for what I believe in.
'I will be viewed as a coward."
(Cut to him at the fridge, new beer in hand.)
(Cut to Arthur back on the throne)
"Or! I will be viewed as a god! A hero, among men!"
(He gets up, starts to pace around the room)
"Yes, yes," (his speech quickens, steeples fingers, maniacal)
"They will see that I can take back control of Britain, while being merciful enough to elect the new emperor of Rome.
"The troops will love me, our people will be allies, I will remain on top, and everyone wins!
"But...
"Guinevere..."
Scene 5
Scene at the dog park, or something, Guinevere and Lancelot are frolicking in the lake, joyfully.
Cut to scene with a bunch of people in the apartment, having fun, dancing down the stairs, fade out to doing a conga line around the apartment...
Let me know what you think!
