Young Dunstan
- 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]
