(The night before the Enchantment Under The Sea Dance, George has a very strange dream...)
Narrator: [singing] Once upon a time, in a land filled with flowers...
[A couple of flowers pop up from the ground]
Narrator: [speaking] I said filled.
[More flowers pop up]
Narrator: [singing] Lived a king and a queen and their daughter
She was cursed, you see
When she turned seventeen
She got ugly instead of hotter
Lorraine: [speaking] Now that I’m of marrying age, I must choose a husband.
Sam: Good thing you’re rich.
[Stella smacks his shoulder]
Narrator: [singing] Then who should appear
But a man with a beard
Who proudly proclaimed--
Biff: I volunteer!
Narrator: [singing] She gave him her hand
He gave her his shoulder
And quickly they left to be wed
[Biff and Lorraine vanish in a cloud of smoke, making Sam and Stella cough]
Narrator: [singing] The King did forget
An important secret
So the Queen leaned over and said--
Stella: [speaking] Darling, that’s the wizard who cursed our daughter!
Sam: [sounding completely unfazed, but sporting a horrified expression] Whoopsies.
Narrator: [singing] The king then petitioned
Every knight for a mission
To rescue the ugly young lass
The knights all agreed
She was far too ugly
So, together, they said
Knights: We’ll pass!
George, popping up among the knights: [spoken] I’ll do it!
Narrator: [singing] This sobering tale--
[The narrator stops]
Narrator: [spoken] I’m sorry, what?
George: I’ll rescue the princess.
Narrator: [in disbelief] You?
George: [empathically] Me.
Narrator: [in further disbelief] You?
George: [firmly] Me!
Narrator: Really?
George: Why is that so hard to believe?
Narrator: You’re sickly, untested, and frail.
George: [a little hurt, but not surprised at these insults] Nonetheless, I can fight as well as our strongest knight.
Narrator: Oh, really?
Narrator: [singing] Then someone punched you in the gut
[One of the knights punches George in the stomach, sending him doubling over in pain]
George: [spoken] Oh! Oh, why?
Narrator: To prove a point.
Narrator: [singing] And no one lived happily ever--
George, fully recovered from the blow: [spoken firmly] I’m going!
Narrator: [singing] Someone kicked you.
[Another knight kicks George in the stomach, sending him falling to the floor on his ass]
George: [spoken] Oh... no! Ow!
[He begins to stand back up]
George: I’m saving the princess and you can’t stop me!
Narrator: We’ll see about that.
George: Bring it on!
Narrator: [singing] The hero met a thief
Who caused him some grief
And stabbed him in the gut
[The thief stabs George in the stomach]
George: [spoken] Ow... that didn’t even rhyme!
Thief: Three dollars? Really?
George: I’m... poor...
Narrator: [singing] The next task he should face
Would start at the base
Of a mountain he would climb
George, clutching his side: [spoken] Oh, my kidney...
Narrator: [singing] While holding his breath--
George: [spoken] I’m gonna breathe! You can’t make choices for me; I’m the protagonist!
Narrator: Well, I’m the narrator.
Narrator: [singing] Then his legs stopped working
[George falls to the ground]
George: [spoken] Oh... I hate you--
Narrator: [singing] While he lay helpless
Completely defenseless
A troll came along feeling hungry
The troll swung his club
To grab him some grub
And hit the dumb knight on the head--
George: [spoken] STAB!
[George stabs the troll and it collapses. He laughed triumphantly]
George: Still got my sword!
Narrator: [singing] So your arms stopped working
[George’s arms fall, causing him to drop the sword]
George: [spoken] Come on!
Narrator: Had enough?
George: Never!
Narrator: [singing] Then you contracted the plague
[George groans as the sickness comes over him]
Narrator: [singing] Then you were shot by an arrow
[George literally takes an arrow to the knee, and he screams]
Narrator: [singing] Then your mouth tasted like a foot.
[George groans in disgust]
Narrator: [singing] A diseased foot.
[George gags on the taste]
George: [spoken] Ah, I’m coming, princess!
Narrator: [singing] You sure are determined
Despite all the hassle
George: [spoken] Then magically appeared at the Dark Wizard’s castle!
[The scene changes from the mountain to the castle]
Narrator: [spoken] I can’t believe that worked.
Biff: What is going on?!
Lorraine: It’s one of my father’s knights!
George: Yes, I’m come to rescue-- whoa! You are not ugly anymore.
Lorraine: The curse was lifted, but I didn’t think anyone would try to rescue me when I was hideous.
Biff: Well, that was the plan!
Narrator: Sorry. I tried.
George: Alright, Wizard! Let’s fight to the death! I may not be able to use my arms or legs, but I’m not afraid to do this!
[He begins convulsing violently]
Biff: Oh...
Narrator: Oh, my...
[George begins making noises akin to a rabid mouse]
Narrator, to Biff: Cast a spell or something.
Biff: I only know how to make people ugly.
Narrator: Do that, then.
[Biff shrugs]
Biff: Shanastee!
[George cries out as he is hit with the spell]
George: Am I hideous?
Lorraine: You look the same.
Biff: Well, there’s only so much I can do.
[Biff and the Narrator share a laugh over this]
Lorraine: Wizard, we’re through. I want to marry this man.
Biff: Figures.
[He storms off]
Narrator: [singing] So the two started courting
With such joy and such laughter
And they both lived happily ever after
[quickly] She punched him in the face
[Lorraine punches George in the face just as he catapults awake in the real world]
