Your Highness Page #5

Synopsis: Throughout history, tales of chivalry have burnished the legends of brave, handsome knights who rescue fair damsels, slay dragons and conquer evil. But behind many a hero is a good-for-nothing younger brother trying just to stay out of the way of those dragons, evil and trouble in general. As two princes on a daring mission to save their land, they must rescue the heir apparent's fiancée before their kingdom is destroyed. Thadeous (McBride) has spent his life watching his perfect older brother Fabious (Franco) embark upon valiant journeys and win the hearts of his people. Tired of being passed over for adventure, adoration and the throne, he's settled for a life of wizard's weed, hard booze and easy maidens. But when Fabious' bride-to-be, Belladonna (Zooey Deschanel), gets kidnapped by the evil wizard Leezar (Justin Theroux), the king gives his deadbeat son an ultimatum: Man up and help rescue her or get cut off. Half-assedly embarking upon his first quest, Thadeous joins Fabious to tr

Good luck and good bye.

Thadeous, this is Fabious' 28th quest.

How many have you been on?

Courtney,

how many quests have I completed?

Uh...

The answer is none.

It is finally time

for you to become a man.

You must journey with your brother

to rescue his bride.

Father, you can't be serious.

If you want me to go on to a quest,

then let's start with something easy,

like boiling a chicken

or beating off in front of a Pegasus.

Elementary things.

Look around you at the harm

that has befallen this castle!

This quest is your last chance

to prove to me and the kingdom

that you are a man worthy

to bear the family crest,

and to show that at your core,

you are not rotten,

but you are brave,

and honorable, and noble.

All the qualities expected of a prince.

The choice is yours.

Either journey with your brother

and the Knights Elite,

or you can face banishment

from the kingdom.

Sh*t.

You see, Courtney,

I alone understand how

to properly prepare for a quest.

Masculine garments,

proper, good collie to smoke upon.

How is Steven doing?

He looks like he's stoned, sir.

Fabious has Simon,

and now I have Steven,

a far superior creature companion.

Wouldn't you agree?

He will fare very well, indeed,

I'm sure, Your Highness.

I do hope this adventure

is not too stressful or boring.

Either way I intend to get properly

f***ed up if no one disagrees.

Belladonna, wake up. Wake up.

Who is that? Where am I?

'Tis I, Fabious. Your love.

Fabious?

You're still in Leezar's lair.

But fear not, I'm here to rescue you.

Fabious, it's really you.

I knew you'd come to find me.

I can't do this. I can't do it.

It's so mean.

You should've seen

the look on your face. It's me!

You're still a prisoner.

I've seen a beautiful world

beyond this prison,

and I count the hours till I escape.

I wouldn't be so sure of that.

Lookie there.

The twin moons drawing slowly together.

Time moving them closer.

Just as time moves you

and I closer together.

And when

the two moons unite, so shall we.

Perhaps, keeping you

in this tower has left you ignorant.

You're so easily deceived.

For example, I have heard

that your Prince Fabious

has made his bed recklessly

with many maidens.

And I heard that he has fungi

on his genitalia as a result.

Also, he organizes orgies

with wenches and barbarians alike

and he takes sperm on him

and gives it to women freely.

Spilling his seed willy-nilly

as he makes his way through that orgy.

I don't believe you.

He is not the dashing young man

you believe him to be.

So

these are the harsh realities

of the outside world.

Welcome home.

Halt! Steady.

Oh.

Sorry to disturb you two love birds
