00:00 A long time ago, in a land filled with kings and queens,
00:05 there lived a hero so beloved that he was known by just one name.
00:10 Way back in days of old, there was a legend told
00:21 about a hero known as Galavant.
00:26 Square jaw and perfect hair, "Golly, that's a dare!"
00:30 There was no hero quite like Galavant.
00:33 "Tough, thus every other manly value."
00:36 "Mess with him, he'll disembowel you!"
00:40 "Yay, he ruled in every way!"
00:42 "A fairy tale cliché!"
00:44 And people called him Galavant.
00:53 The man we're speaking of, he had a lady love,
00:56 a total goddess known as Madeleine.
01:00 Long legs and glowing skin, a body built for sin,
01:03 plus more than just a touch of nymphomania.
01:07 Romance could hardly get much hotter.
01:10 All day long, he'd you-know-what her men.
01:14 Then you-know-what again, three times or even ten,
01:17 and she'd be screaming, "Galavant!"
01:22 One tiny problem soon would arise.
01:29 Richard, a nearby king of wealth and stature,
01:36 he watched Madeleine, a lust in his eyes.
01:43 And he asked her for her hand, well, more like a demand.
01:47 "Well, more like a demand!"
01:50 "Galavant!"
01:52 Which brings us to today, the royal wedding day.
01:57 No-one can stop it now but Galavant.
02:01 Poor Madeleine awaits behind King Richard's gates
02:04 for the arrival of her Galavant.
02:07 Now, at last, begins a true adventure,
02:11 epic, wild, unreal, but glensher.
02:14 So, Hazar and Tally-ho, sit back and here we go,
02:18 attempt the tale of Galavant!
02:30 And so, on this glorious day,
02:33 we celebrate the union of our ruler,
02:37 our liege, our greatest king.
02:41 So sorry to interrupt.
02:47 My lady.
02:48 All right, all right. Hold on.
02:51 Now, Gareth and I can surely fight all night to an even draw
02:54 if that's what you want.
02:56 Hell, you can even send all your men to help him,
02:58 if you so desire.
03:00 But I'll fend them all off, 'cause here's the thing.
03:05 I love her, Richard.
03:12 She's the first thing I think of in the morning
03:14 and the last thing I think of in the eve.
03:17 And you can offer her great fame,
03:19 and you can offer her great fortune,
03:22 but only I can offer her great love.
03:29 And that is what she chooses.
03:32 Actually...
03:37 Hmm?
03:39 Gal, I'm sorry, I just...
03:43 I don't know, I've been thinking a lot about it
03:45 ever since he kidnapped me, and...
03:48 I'm gonna go with the fame and fortune.
03:50 Seems like an easier life, you know?
03:52 Oh, I'm really sorry, Gal.
03:54 Hope we can be friends.
03:57 Hmm!
03:59 Hold that thought, darling.
04:06 Good night, sweet prince.
04:10 Ooh.
04:12 Dammit, Gareth, would you just do that for me, please?
04:16 Night, night.
04:18 # And so begins our plot
04:20 # Of which there's quite a lot
04:22 # With Isabella stringing Galavant
04:25 # And with the evil king prepared to do his thing
04:28 # And with the queen still pretty sure he can't
04:32 # And with Gal about to start his journey
04:35 # One both twisty and immensely timey-o
04:39 # It's lots of plot, we know
04:41 # But anyway, hi-ho, we're off and here we go
04:44 # Come back for next week's show
04:46 # To see what's next for Galavant. #

04:56 (upbeat music)
04:58 (tires screeching)
