Er... the King, ladies and gentlemen.

The King will ride against

Sir Morgan, the Black Knight.

All right, Sir Knight. Here.

The King can elect to face

any knight he deems worthy

or any knight who offends his honour.

Sir Morgan being a worthy knight,

let's assume the former in this case.

What is it?

If the King goes down,

we have to be ready for rescue.

Why?

We have to get to Morgan

before he can make the King yield.

If Billy surrenders, he loses the crown.

Let's move it out!

The King is rescued!

The King is rescued!

My God. Get a stretcher!

Get a... get a stretcher!

Punch, Whiteface, somebody!

Use the power of his swing!

- Watch out!

- Watch it, watch it, watch it!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Use his power!

- Come on! Yeah!

- Hit it, Alan!

Oh, wow! Ooh! Far out!

You all right? Let me see.

- I'm all right.

- You're all right.

- You almost made it, didn't you?

- Yeah.

Basics, Morg.

You forgot your basics.

No, I didn't.

- Wow, this is a hell of a show!

- Come on.

It's a fake. It's all a fake.

They try to make it look tough.

They try to make it look dangerous.

All right, who proved what out there?

Morgan proved he could kick my ass.

Steady.

- What's the story, Merlin?

- Could be worse. Could be better.

His helmet and his chest plate

just scissored him.

- Took a big bite. Missed the artery.

- It's nobody's fault, man.

- You know what you're doing?

- Hey!

Why don't you all get out of here?

I'm gonna stitch him up.

OK, let's go. Let's get out of here.

We're all in this

because of the lifestyle.

And we got our own place,

and you did that. You set that up.

And you know what it's about.

And what it's about is having

things we can count on.

And one of the things

we count on, man, is you!

Hey, hey, hey!

Where are you going, kid?

I'd like to get Billy Davis's autograph.

Well, the King is a Little busy right now.

You want to try again later?

Now, you've been messing up lately,

but you keep putting it on the rest of us,

and this whole thing's gonna blow up,

and nobody needs that kind of sh*t, man.

That's why we're here.

What's his problem, Lin?

Wow! You were fantastic!

Fabulous! I just couldn't believe it.

- Come on, we gotta finish the show.

- Isn't he great?

God. Wait till I tell

my girlfriends about this.

OK, look, everybody get out of here.

We got a show to finish. Let's go.

Even the best suffer defeat.

Rocky is down,

leaving Sir Hector of Ewick

to compete with the championship

with Sir Ewain

against Sir Bors and Sir Alan.

Is she OK?

Sir Hector of Ewick

competing in game one.

Are you all right?

- Where is she?

- Rocky!

Basics. You forgot your basics.

You'd better disappear quick, killer,
