Once upon a time in a faraway land there was a beautiful prince and a beautiful princess who were in an arranged to be married to unite their kingdoms in peace so that they would no longer be in a war, a war I fought in and the very one I lost me leg.

INT-OLD TAVERN-MORNING
CHUCK ARCHER IS CLEANING A MUG OF BEER.
CHUCK ARCHER
The ugly witch soon took the beautiful princess's beauty and now she wasn't an ugly witch anymore. The now former ugly witch would create a kingdom of her own and rule it, thus becoming a queen. Now that the ugly witch was now a beautiful queen and she wanted to be a beautiful queen forever. Because only the witch knew how to break the curse and she made it so the prince and the princess will never figure it out, since the once madly in love prince and princess were not only just ugly ogres now but their memories were erased. Years would pass and the two ogres lived in two separate castles with no memory of their former lives.
CHUCK ARCHER SERVES SOME CUSTOMERS DRINKS.
CHUCK ARCHER
Now our story begins three years after the witch cursed the prince and princess. But now we will meet the hero of our story a bounty hunter named Brick Archer who happens to be me handsome and brave son. My son Brick Archer is a skilled archer and he's quite a good shot, now I bet you're wondering why my son be in this story well...
BRICK ARCHER, A 20 SOMETHING YOUNG MAN WITH A BEARD, ENTERS HIS FATHER CHUCK'S TAVERN AND HE LOOKS LIKE A MAN ON A MISSION, HOLDING HIS BOW AND ARROW LIKE HE'S READY TO FIRE AT ANY TIME AND HE HAS A SERIOUS LOOK ON HIS FACE.
BRICK ARCHER SEES SOMEONE QUITE FAMILIAR, AND IT'S NOT HIS FATHER SITTING IN A BOOTH AT HIS FATHER'S TAVERN.
YELLER JOHN, A BIG MAN WEARING A SWEATER AND A BOWLER HAT, IS SITTING IN THE BOOTH WITH DRINKING A MUG OF BEER.
BRICK ARCHER SLOWLY PULLS OUT HIS BOW AND ARROW WHILE YELLER JOHN IS DRINKING A MUG OF BEER. AS YELLER JOHN LIFTED UP HIS MUG OF BEER TO TAKE A SIP, BRICK ARCHER SHOT AN ARROW AND IT HID YELLER JOHN IN THE HAND.
THE ARROW PIERCED YELLER JOHN'S HAND AND THE MUG OF BEER HE WAS HOLDING BROKE AS IT FELL ON THE FLOOR.
YELLER JOHN
What the heck, who shot an arrow into my bloody hand?
YELLER JOHN LOOKS UP TO SEE BRICK ARCHER HOLDING A BOW AND ARROW.
YELLER JOHN

BRICK ARCHER IS HOLDING IS BOW AND ARROW LIKE HE'S READY TO FIRE IT AGAIN.
BRICK ARCHER

YELLER JOHN AND BRICK ARCHER ARE ABOUT TO FIGHT, BUT CHUCK ARCHER WALKS SLOWLY BECAUSE OF HIS PEG LEG, AND GETS IN-BETWEEN THEM.
CHUCK ARCHER
Hey, take this outside, I don't want no fights in me bar.
BRICK ARCHER
Okay you heard my Dad let's head out!
BEFORE BRICK ARCHER AND YELLER JOHN COULD FIGHT, THE ROYAL GUARD ENTERED THE TAVERN.
ROYAL GUARD SOLDIER #1
There will be no more fighting in here.
THE ROYAL GUARD BEGAN ARRESTING PEOPLE AND BEFORE BRICK ARCHER COULD FLEE THE SCENE, HE WAS STOPPED BY ONE OF THE ROYAL GUARD SOLDIERS.
ROYAL GUARD SOLDIER #2
Hold on pal, are you Brick Archer?
BRICK ARCHER
Indeed I am, and who's wants to know?
ROYAL GUARD SOLDIER #1 HANDCUFFS BRICK ARCHER AND ESCORTS HIM OUT OF THE TAVERN, WHILE THE OTHER ROYAL GUARD SOLDIERS ARE TAKING AWAY OTHER CRIMINALS.
ROYAL GUARD SOLDIER #1
Come with us, Mr. Archer, someone quite important wants to see you.
THE TAVERN IS NOW EMPTY AND CHUCK ARCHER BEGINS SWEEPING.
CHUCK ARCHER
Oh me son was summoned by the queen, but she really be the former ugly old witch I mentioned to you earlier in this tale, my son Brick was ordered to go on a special mission. That mission was to kill the two ugly ogres who really the beautiful prince and princess, but my son, like the rest of the kingdom forgot they even existed.

BRICK ARCHER
Look Ms. Mount we will not hurt this ogre anymore, we will take him home and leave him there, I sense that he's not a threat to anyone...even though I won't get the reward, I don't want to kill an innocent creature.
MISTY MOUNT
What are you talking about? Do you remember our mission!
BRICK ARCHER
I will not kill an innocent creature!
MISTY MOUNT
You killed that owl!
BRICK ARCHER
That owl was evil! I sensed it! Now let's take this ogre back to his castle and lock the castle up so he won't get out again. Deal!

OLIVER
Yah I live in a castle, why what about it?
BRICK ARCHER BEGINS STROKING HIS CHIN.
BRICK ARCHER
Because I never really pictured an ogre living in a castle, I thought you would live in like a cave or something.
MISTY MOUNT POINTS AT OLIVER.
MISTY MOUNT
Maybe he killed the castle's owner and moved in.
OLIVER DROPS THE TURKEY LEG AND WAVES HIS HANDS BACK AND FORTH.
OLIVER
No, I was practically born in that castle, I don't know how I got there, but I lived there all my life.
BRICK ARCHER LOOKS PUZZLED.
BRICK ARCHER
Wait, you were born in that castle, are your parents still alive or something?
OLIVER STRETCHES HIS LEGS OUT AND ONE OF HIS LEGS HAS A WOUND AND STILL HAS AN ARROW IN IT.
OLIVER
Actually I never knew my parents, I practically raised myself and I somehow know how to walk and talk, sometimes I wonder who I really am!
BRICK ARCHER THEN PUTS OUT THE CAMPFIRE.
BRICK ARCHER

OLIVER SLOWLY LIMPS OVER TOWARDS THE CASTLE GATE AND HE LOOKS THROUGH THE FENCE.
OLIVER
I'm not sure if this is my castle.

BRICK ARCHER
What's with the statues?
OLIVER
Oh, those are just people who turned to stone because for some reason people who enter my castle somehow turn to stone.
MISTY MOUNT STOPS WALKING AND IS IN SHOCK.
MISTY MOUNT
Wait, we'll turn to stone if we enter your castle!
OLIVER MOVES AROUND TO FACE MISTY MOUNT AND AS HE'S MOVING HIS BIG BELLY JIGGLES A BIT.
OLIVER
Well you have to stay in my castle for awhile, you don't turn to stone right away, but the longer you stay here, the more likely you'll turn to stone.
MISTY MOUNT GRABS BRICK ARCHER'S ARM.
MISTY MOUNT
Brick we have to get out of here.
BRICK ARCHER LAUGHS AND SLOWLY MOVES MISTY MOUNT'S HAND FROM HIS ARM.
BRICK ARCHER

OLIVIA, A HUGE FEMALE BLUE SKINNED OGRE, IS ROARING LOUDLY ATOP THE STAIRCASE AND IS SLOWLY CRAWLING DOWNSTAIRS.
BRICK ARCHER PULLS OUT HIS BOW AND ARROW AND IS ABOUT TO FIRE AN ARROW.
BRICK ARCHER
Another ogre, Oliver what the heck is going on?
CHUCK ARCHER (V.O.)
Our heroes were shocked to learn that there was not only another ogre but that it also lives in a castle similar to Oliver's, little did our heroes know was that Oliver and this other ogre have a connection with each other, what that connection be is something we already know, but there be plenty of secrets in this castle we'll soon discover, and my son is about to become a hero of legend.

BRICK ARCHER IS NOW TRYING TO HOLD IN HIS LAUGHTER.
BRICK ARCHER
I'm sorry, I just think Olivia's a funny name for a male ogre.
OLIVIA LOOKS PISSED AND THROWS HER ARMS UP IN THE AIR.
OLIVIA
I'm a female ogre!
OLIVIA THEN SCARES BRICK ARCHER AND BRICK ARCHER FALLS TO THE GROUND IN FEAR.
BRICK ARCHER
Oh, sorry, so let me guess like Oliver, you mean no harm to us either.
OLIVIA SIGHS AND THEN SITS ON ALL FOURS.

No, I may be a monster but I'm not a monster.
MISTY MOUNT HELPS BRICK ARCHER GET UP FROM THE GROUND.
MISTY MOUNT
Okay Brick, can we talk in private...
CUT TO.:
MISTY MOUNT AND BRICK ARCHER HAVING A PRIVATE CONVERSATION ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM.
MISTY MOUNT
Look, we have to kill those ogres all right, I don't care that they appear to be nice but remember they've done bad things.
BRICK ARCHER
I sense no evil in them and they seem like honest people.
MISTY MOUNT
They're not honest people they're freaking ogres and the queen wants them dead, look I don't want to kill them either, but the queen ordered me to kill them, and she also ordered you to do the same thing.
BRICK ARCHER PUTS HIS HAND ON MISTY MOUNT'S SHOULDER.
BRICK ARCHER
Look Ms. Mount, two things, one, I was only in it for the reward and not to please a queen, and two, if you don't want to kill them either then why should you?
MISTY MOUNT PUTS HER HAND OVER HER FACE AND SIGHS.
MISTY MOUNT
It's complicated all right. Let's just say the queen gave me something so I have to return the favor all right.
BRICK ARCHER MOVES MISTY MOUNT'S HAND FROM HER FACE.
BRICK ARCHER
What did the queen give you?
MISTY MOUNT
That's none of your concern, look I guess we can let the ogres live a little while longer, but eventually we have to do what's right.
BRICK ARCHER WALKS AWAY IN A HUFF AND MISTY MOUNT SIGHS AND THEN PULLS OUT HER SWORD LIKE SHE'S READY TO FIGHT.
BRICK ARCHER

MISTY MOUNT
You and your senses, we have to kill them.
MISTY MOUNT PULLS OUT A KNIFE AND IS ABOUT TO STAB OLIVIA WHEN BRICK ARCHER INTERVENES TO PREVENT HER FROM STABBING OLIVIA.
BRICK ARCHER GRABS MISTY MOUNT'S KNIFE FROM HIS HAND AND THROWS IT TO THE GROUND.
BRICK ARCHER
Think about it Misty, legends state that ogres kill humans on sight and you know where I'm getting at.
MISTY MOUNT SIGHS AND THEN SHE PUTS HER HAND ON BRICK ARCHER'S SHOULDER.
MISTY MOUNT
All right fine, we have a few days to kill, why don't we get to know Oliver and Olivia more to see if they are truly not the savages they are.
OLIVIA THEN GOES UP TO SNIFF MISTY MOUNT AND BRICK ARCHER.
OLIVIA GETS UP ON TWO LEGS AND WALKS TOWARDS THE KITCHEN DOOR.
OLIVIA
Okay, I guess you both can stay here, since you two are probably going to turn into stone anyway, so let me show you to your rooms.

MISTY MOUNT LETS GO OF OLIVER AND OLIVIA'S HANDS AND THEN OLIVER AND OLIVIA BEGIN TO HOLD HANDS.
BRICK ARCHER WALKS OVER TOWARDS MISTY MOUNT AND BRICK ARCHER BEGINS STROKING HIS CHIN.

MISTY MOUNT
I was a servant to Princess Olivia all right, along with the witch who cursed Oliver and Olivia.
OLIVER AND OLIVIA ARE STILL HOLDING HANDS.
OLIVIA
A witch cursed us, how come we don't remember any of this?
MISTY MOUNT SLOWLY LIFTS HER HEAD UP AND UNCOVERS HER FACE WITH HER HAND AND THEN MISTY MOUNT CROSSES HER ARMS.
MISTY MOUNT
Because the witch erased your memory, look I shouldn't have told you any of this, or, I just need to go!
MISTY MOUNT FLEES THE SCENE AND OLIVER AND OLIVIA BEGIN JUMPING UP AND DOWN WITH JOY.
OLIVER
Wow, I'm a prince, I didn't see that coming!
OLIVIA
I can't believe I'm a princess, I wonder if I was a beautiful princess?
OLIVER MOVES OLIVIA'S HAIR BACK FROM HER FACE AND LOOKS DIRECTLY INTO OLIVIA'S EYES.
OLIVER
I bet you were a beautiful princess I just have a gut feeling.
OLIVIA
Oh you!
BRICK ARCHER THEN BEGINS LOOKING FOR MISTY MOUNT WALKING THROUGH THE LONG HALLWAY.
BRICK ARCHER
She needs me right now!
BRICK ARCHER STOPS MIDWAY THROUGH AND SEES A PICTURE OF A PRINCE AND PRINCESS HANGING ON THE WALL.
BRICK ARCHER LOOKS AT A TAG UNDERNEATH THE PICTURE AND IT READS "TO THE HAPPY COUPLE PRINCE OLIVER AND PRINCESS OLIVIA".
BRICK ARCHER PUTS HIS HAND ON THE PICTURE OF PRINCE OLIVIER AND PRINCESS OLIVIA AS THEIR HUMAN SELFS.
BRICK ARCHER
Wow, they really are beautiful, but where is she?
BRICK ARCHER HEARS CRYING AND NOTICES AN OPEN DOOR AT THE END OF THE HALLWAY.
BRICK ARCHER WALKS DOWN THE HALLWAY TO THE END OF THE HALLWAY AND ENTERS THE ROOM WITH THE OPEN DOOR.

INT-CASTLE: SERVANTS' QUARTERS-NIGHT.
BRICK ARCHER ENTERS THE SERVANTS' QUARTERS AND BRICK ARCHER SEES MISTY LYING ON A VERY BIG BED AND SHE'S CRYING INTO A VERY BIG PILLOW. BRICK ARCHER NOTICES THAT ON THE GROUND AROUND THE BIG BED ARE BROKEN CHAINS THAT LOOK LIKE BED STRAPS TO KEEP SOMETHING IN THE BIG BED.
BRICK ARCHER SITS NEXT TO MISTY MOUNT ON THE BIG BED.
BRICK ARCHER
Misty, what's wrong?
MISTY MOUNT SLOWLY GETS UP AND SITS BESIDE BRICK ARCHER ON THE VERY BIG BED.
MISTY MOUNT
I can't tell you, she'll take it away!
BRICK ARCHER
The witch gave you something didn't she and what happened to this witch?
MISTY MOUNT LIES DOWN AGAIN ON THE BIG BED ON HER BACK LOOKING UP AT THE CEILING WHILE BRICK ARCHER BEGINS STROKING HER LEG.
MISTY MOUNT
Let's just kill those ogres and leave she's probably wondering why we haven't returned.
BRICK ARCHER STOPS STROKING MISTY'S LEG AND SNAPS HIS FINGERS.
BRICK ARCHER
Wait a minute, the queen, the queen who ordered us to kill Oliver and Olivia, Misty, is she the witch...
MISTY MOUNT STILL LYING DOWN ON HER BACK THROWS HER ARMS UP INTO THE AIR.
MISTY MOUNT
Alright you've figured it out, I'm working for the witch, but I don't want to alright, I hate her, the only reason I help her is not because she's now a queen, look I can't tell you alright!
BRICK ARCHER GRABS MISTY MOUNT'S HAND AND LIFTS HER UP AND THEY THEN STARE AT EACH OTHER EYE TO EYE.
BRICK ARCHER
Talk, I'm stick of this! You know how to break the curse, spill it!
MISTY MOUNT BEGINS TO CRY.
MISTY MOUNT
Before I tell you the truth Brick, I have to tell you, you're heart will be broken.
BRICK ARCHER BEGINS TO TEAR UP A LITTLE HIMSELF.
BRICK ARCHER
What you haven't really fallen in love with me over our stay here? Have you?
MISTY MOUNT HUGS BRICK ARCHER.
MISTY MOUNT
Of course I love you, it's just, I mean look at you, I, you probably only like me for my looks anyway.
BRICK ARCHER LOOKS DIRECTLY INTO MISTY MOUNT'S EYES AND HE THEN SMILES WHILE LAUGHING A LITTLE.
BRICK ARCHER
What you're not really a redhead.
MISTY MOUNT LOOKS SAD AND GRABS BRICK ARCHER'S HAND AND SHE PUTS HER HAND ON HIS FACE.
MISTY MOUNT
It's worse, Brick I'm...
SOUND: DOOR SLAMMING OPEN.
BRICK ARCHER GETS UP AFTER HEARING THAT NOISE. BRICK ARCHER PULLS OUT HIS BOW AND ARROW AND BEGINS TO HEAD TO WHERE THE NOISE CAME FROM.
MISTY MOUNT SIGHS AND SHE PICKS UP THE CHAINS AND ON ONE OF THE CHAINS IS A BIG HANDCUFF, MISTY MOUNT BEGINS TO PANIC AND THROWS THE CHAINS AWAY. MISTY MOUNT THEN LEAVES THE ROOM AND BEGINS TO LOOK FOR BRICK ARCHER.

SIMON
My name is Simon and I'm here to kill all of you!
SIMON ATTACKS BRICK ARCHER AND SOON BRICK ARCHER AND SIMON ARE FIGHTING EACH OTHER.
BRICK ARCHER IS FIRING ARROWS AT SIMON BUT THEY SEEM TO BE USELESS BECAUSE SIMON'S SKIN APPEARS TO BE HARD AS STONE.
CHUCK ARCHER (V.O.)
Simon looks like a Greek god and he carries two big flaming swords. Simon may look tuff but let's just say he has a reason why he works for the witch. Like how the ugly witch turned herself into a beautiful queen, Simon used to be a scrawny weakling. But the witch turned him into a handsome strong young man.
SIMON PUSHES BRICK ARCHER TO THE GROUND AND PULLS BOTH OF HIS HUGE SWORDS AND POINTS THEM AT BRICK ARCHER.
BRICK ARCHER TRIES TO FIRE HIS BOW AND ARROW BUT SIMON KNOCKS IT RIGHT OUT OF BRICK ARCHER'S HANDS.
BRICK ARCHER
Why do you want to kill me, I'm not an ogre!
SIMON
Well Mr. Archer let's just say you're a key to breaking the curse, now ogres, come and face your deaths!
SIMON SWORDS THEN BEGIN TO LIGHT UP AND ARE NOW ON FIRE.
SIMON
Any last words!
MISTY MOUNT THEN APPEARS OUT OF NOWHERE AND POINTS HER SWORD DIRECTLY AT SIMON.
OLIVER AND OLIVIA ENTER TO SEE THE SCENE CURRENTLY TAKING PLACE AND OLIVIA RUSHES OVER TO BRICK ARCHER TO HEAL HIS WOUNDS.
MISTY MOUNT
Don't hurt them!
SIMON LAUGHS AT THEN HE BEGINS TO WALK TOWARDS OLIVIA WHILE SHE'S HEALING BRICK ARCHER WITH HER MAGICAL HEALING POWERS.
SIMON
I can't believe you're actually helping the people who've tried to kill you Misty, and I take it Mr. Archer thinks your cute, well I don't know if you've told them or not, but I know the truth about who you really are!
MISTY MOUNT BEGINS TO CLENCH HER FISTS IN ANGER.
MISTY MOUNT
Just leave Simon or else...
SIMON'S SWORDS BEGIN TO LIGHT UP AS HE IS WALKING TOWARDS OLIVIA WHILE OLIVIA IS HEALING BRICK ARCHER.
SIMON
I have to do what you weren't able to do so...
OLIVIA HEALED BRICK ARCHER AND SOON THEY ARE BOTH TRYING TO AVOID GETTING KILLED BY SIMON.
MISTY MOUNT STABS SIMON IN THE LEG WITH HER SWORD.
MISTY MOUNT
Just leave, NOW!
MISTY MOUNT SLOWLY BEGAN TO TRANSFORM INTO A 10-FOOT TALL UGLY OVERWEIGHT BRUTISH GIANT WITH ROCK HANDS.

BRICK ARCHER TRIES TO COMFORT MISTY MOUNT WHILE MISTY IS CRYING INSANELY.
BRICK ARCHER
Misty, what's going on?
MISTY MOUNT
I didn't want you to know who I really am, I'm the real monster!
MISTY MOUNT THEN FLEES THE SCENE WHILE SIMON SLOWLY GETS UP AFTER BEING THROWN INTO A WALL.
OLIVER HANDS BRICK ARCHER HIS BOW AND ARROW AND THEY LOOK READY TO FIGHT SIMON AGAIN.
SIMON
Well now, I guess you figured out why she was working for the witch, not only did the witch turn herself into a beautiful queen, but she turned Misty Mount into a beautiful young woman, because she's really just the ugly servant of Princess Olivia.
BRICK ARCHER
Just leave pal I don't want to...
SIMON'S SWORDS BEGIN TO LIGHT UP AND SOON SIMON'S EYES BEGIN TO GLOW BRIGHT RED.

After a long battle Brick Archer killed Simon with a shot to Simon's head with his bow and arrow, then Simon slowly transformed back into a scrawny weakling, sorry to interrupt but it's getting late and we still have a story to tell.
BRICK ARCHER PULLS THE ARROW OUT OF THE NOW SCRAWNY AND DEAD SIMON'S HEAD AND PUTS IT AWAY WITH HIS OTHER ARROWS.
BRICK ARCHER AND OLIVER BEGIN TO BREATHE HEAVILY.
BRICK ARCHER
At least I now know why he was working for the witch, are you all right Oliver?

MISTY MOUNT
Don't look at me, what was I thinking, who could ever love me!
BRICK ARCHER SITS NEXT TO MISTY MOUNT ON THE BIG BED.
BRICK ARCHER
But Misty I...
MISTY MOUNT SLOWLY BEGINS TO TURN INTO STONE AND BRICK ARCHER AND OLIVIA JUMP OFF THE BED WHILE MISTY'S TURNING INTO STONE.
BRICK ARCHER
What the, Misty turned into stone!
OLIVIA TAPS BRICK ARCHER ON THE SHOULDER AND HANDS HIM A GOLD RING.
OLIVIA
It was a ring.
BRICK ARCHER
What?
OLIVIA
Like we've told you, anyone who sets foot into our castle turns into stone, the witch gave Misty and Simon a special ring that won't turn them into a stone statue, the only reason you didn't turn into stone was because you are somehow immune to it.
OLIVER PATS BRICK ARCHER ON THE BACK WHILE BRICK ARCHER PUTS THE RING IN HIS POCKET.
OLIVER
I was wondering why you two didn't turn into stone yet, but how is Brick immune.
OLIVIA TURNS TO FACE BRICK ARCHER AND OLIVER.
OLIVIA
Because Brick Archer has to kill the witch, it's how we can break the curse.
BRICK ARCHER IS TAKEN A BACK BY OLIVIA'S STATEMENTS AND HE SLOWLY BEGINS TO FREAK OUT.
BRICK ARCHER
I have to kill the witch, how?
OLIVIA SIGHS AND PULLS OUT A BOOK.
OLIVIA
Misty says we can find more answers in the library, she also says that there was another way to break the curse but she didn't tell me, so I guess killing the witch is the only option right now!
FADE OUT.:

OLIVER
Wow, we really were beautiful, she wasn't lying.
BRICK ARCHER REAPPEARS AND BEGINS TO SHOW OFF HIS MAGICAL ARMOR TO OLIVER AND OLIVIA.
BRICK ARCHER
Aright, I'll go kill the witch, you two stay here, once I'm done killing the witch, I'll see if it broke the curse, in the mean time stay hidden if she sends more henchmen to try and kill you, if I fail, I'm sorry.
OLIVER
Good luck and if you fail, maybe we can find the other way to break the curse.
OLIVIA
Thanks for not killing us Mr. Archer.
BRICK ARCHER PUTS ONE HAND ON OLIVER SHOULDER AND THE OTHER HAND ON OLIVIA'S SHOULDERS.
BRICK ARCHER
You two are innocent and I've sensed no evil in you, so long.
BRICK ARCHER THEN EXITS THE LIBRARY TO BEGIN HIS QUEST AND OLIVER AND OLIVIA CONTINUE READING.

CHUCK ARCHER
Hey son, what brings you by here?
BRICK ARCHER SHOWS HIS FATHER THE GOLDEN ARROW.
BRICK ARCHER
Dad, I'm going on a quest and I wanted to borrow something for it.
CHUCK ARCHER PATS HIS SON BRICK ARCHER ON THE BACK AND THEN BEGINS TO LIGHT UP A PIPE.
CHUCK ARCHER
You wanted to borrow your mother's bow.
BRICK ARCHER
How did you?
CHUCK ARCHER SMOKES HIS PIPE AND POINTS TO A TABLE.
CHUCK ARCHER
I just sensed it, it's underneath table 5.
BRICK ARCHER WALKS OVER TOWARDS TABLE 5 AND THERE HAPPENS TO BE A DRUNKEN MAN SLEEPING OVER THE TABLE.
BRICK ARCHER SILENTLY, WITHOUT WAKING UP THE DRUNKEN MAN, LIFTS UP A FLOOR BOARD AND PULLS OUT HIS MOTHER'S BOW.
BRICK ARCHER
At least I know where I got my good senses from!
BRICK ARCHER EXITS THE BAR AND THE DRUNKEN MAN WAKES UP AND WAVES BRICK ARCHER OFF, AS DOES HIS FATHER CHUCK ARCHER.

END MONTAGE/YELLER JOHN'S FOOT IS BLEEDING REALLY BAD AND HE'S IN A LOT OF PAIN.
YELLER JOHN
What the hell was that for?
BRICK ARCHER DUSTS HIMSELF OFF AND THEN STARES DIRECTLY AT YELLER JOHN.
BRICK ARCHER
Sorry Yeller John, but I'll be getting your bounty later, right now I have a witch to kill.
BRICK ARCHER EXITS THE SCENE AND JUST KEEPS ON WALKING DEEPER INTO THE WOODS.
IN BEGINS TO RAIN AS YELLER JOHN LIES IN PAIN AFTER BEING SHOT IN THE FOOT.
YELLER JOHN PULLS THE ARROW OUT OF HIS FOOT.
YELLER JOHN
Someday, vengeance will be mine!
YELLER JOHN BEGINS TO LAUGH EVILLY AS HIS FOOT IS BLEEDING AND YELLER JOHN SOON STOPS LAUGHING AND TRIES TO GET UP BUT HE'S IN SO MUCH PAIN THAT HE CAN'T.
CHUCK ARCHER (V.O.)
It took many days but Brick Archer finally made it to the witch's kingdom. But when Brick Archer entered the witch's kingdom her royal guard stopped him before he could. Since the ugly witch is now a beautiful queen, her royal guards didn't believe Brick Archer when he told them about the truth about their queen.
FADE OUT.:
FADE IN.:
INT-THE QUEEN'S THRONE ROOM-MIDDAY
BRICK ARCHER ENTERS THE QUEEN'S THRONE ROOM POINTING HIS BOW AND ARROW DIRECTLY AT THE QUEEN.
THE QUEEN BEGINS TO LAUGH A LITTLE AS THE ROYAL GUARDS STAND GUARD.
THE QUEEN
So, I see you've returned, royal guards leave the room, I have some I need to tell Mr. Archer in private.
THE ROYAL GUARDS LEAVE THE ROOM, AND ONE OF THE ROYAL GUARDS LIGHTLY PUNCHES BRICK ARCHER IN THE ARM AS HE LEAVES.
THE QUEEN GETS UP FROM HER THRONE AND HER EYES GLOW BRIGHT GREEN AND SHE BEGINS TO LAUGH EVILLY.
THE WITCH
So, you know that I'm not really a beautiful queen and that I'm just an ugly witch, but I have some news to tell you Mr. Archer, there are actually two things that must be done in order for the curse to be broken, killing me with a special arrow or any other weapon can't stop me, for I am immortal!
BRICK ARCHER NODS HIS HEAD AND THEN BEGINS STROKING HIS CHIN.
BRICK ARCHER
I guess you're not going to tell me the other thing I have to do in order to break the curse.
THE WITCH SITS BACK DOWN ON HER THRONE.
(Author's Note: The Witch and the queen are the same character, the queen is called the witch now because the secret has been revealed)
THE WITCH SITS BACK DOWN ON HER THRONE AND SHE SNAPS HER FINGERS.
THE ROYAL GUARDS REENTER THE THRONE ROOM AND STAND GUARD.
THE WITCH
Actually...you only have to kill me, the ogres have to do the next step, they won't be lovers for long, by now their minds have changed into that of an animal, they are monsters forever, you've failed Mr. Archer.
THE WITCH SNAPS HER FINGERS AGAIN AND THE ROYAL GUARDS ATTACK BRICK ARCHER.
THE WITCH
Guards! Get in here and throw Mr. Archer in the dungeon!
BRICK ARCHER DODGES THE ROYAL GUARDS ATTACK AND THEN SHOOTS THE MAGICAL GOLDEN ARROW INTO THE WITCH'S CHEST BUT IT DOES NOTHING.

HUGO BEGINS TO LOOK AROUND THE BAR AND HE'S CHECKING EVERYTHING OUT. HUGO IS LOOKING UNDERNEATH TABLES, OPENS DOORS AND ONCE HE'S DONE CHECKING HE SITS AT THE BAR.
HUGO
Please sir, I'm on the run from the law, I need a place to stay.
CHUCK ARCHER POINTS HIS FINGER AT HUGO.
CHUCK ARCHER

HUGO GRINS AND PULLS OUT AT CROSSBOW AND AIMS IT AT CHUCK ARCHER.

THE WITCH THEN TURNS TO DUST AND THE ROYAL GUARDS LET BRICK ARCHER GO TO CHECK OUT IF THE WITCH IS OKAY.
BRICK ARCHER
I guess I did kill the witch after all.
THE ROYAL GUARDS THEN PULL OUT THEIR SWORDS AND WERE ABOUT TO ATTACK BRICK ARCHER, BUT SOON THE ROYAL GUARDS SLOWLY BEGAN TO TRANSFORM INTO FROGS.
THE FROGS WHO USED TO BE THE ROYAL GUARD SOLDIERS BEGIN HOPPING OUT OF THE THRONE ROOM.
BRICK ARCHER
What the...
SLOWLY THE THRONE ROOM AND THE ENTIRE KINGDOM BEGAN TO TURN INTO A SWAMP.
NOW BRICK IS STANDING IN SWAMP WATER IN WHAT USED TO BE THE QUEEN'S THRONE ROOM.
BRICK ARCHER
I guess since she really wasn't a queen her kingdom was nothing more than an illusion, kind of funny the ugly old witch's kingdom was just a swamp, now to check on the ogres, I wonder if the curse is really broken.
BRICK ARCHER BEGINS WALKING THROUGH THE SWAMP IN WHAT USED TO BE A KINGDOM BUT WITH THE WITCH DEAD IT IS NOW A SWAMP.
WE SEE ANIMALS WEARING HUMAN CLOTHES LIKE FROGS WEARING ROYAL GUARD UNIFORMS, A RACCOON WEARING A DRESS, AND AN ALLIGATOR WEARING GLASSES AND A BOWTIE.
CUT TO.:
YELLER JOHN IS SLOWLY BLEEDING TO DEATH AND HE LOOKS VERY PALE.
YELLER JOHN

CHUCK ARCHER (V.O.)
I miss ye wife, oh, hello again, I bet ye be wondering what happened to me son, Brick Archer then rushed back to Olivia's castle and when he arrived it was a very different place, it seems the curse is broken because Olivia's castle went from dark and gloomy to a beautiful place, all the people turned into stone statues were human again, Brick Archer then entered the castle and when he entered the people inside began to cheer, because their hero had returned!
A FROG IN A ROYAL GUARD UNIFORM HOPS ACROSS THE SCREEN.

BRICK ARCHER IS WALKING TO THE CASTLE BUT IT HAS CHANGED.
THE PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE CASTLE ARE NO LONGER STONE AND THE APPEAR TO BE HAPPY.
A CELEBRATION IS HAPPENING BUT BRICK ARCHER DOESN'T KNOW WHY.
THE PEOPLE AROUND BRICK ARCHER BEGIN CHEERING HIS NAME AS HE WALKS PASS THEM.
BRICK ARCHER ENTERS THE CASTLE LOBBY AND WALKS UP TO A ROYAL GUARD SOLDIER.
BRICK ARCHER
Excuse I'm looking for...
OLIVIA (O.S.)
Mr. Archer, you're back already!
BRICK ARCHER TURNS AROUND AND SEES A HANDSOME PRINCE AND A BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS WALKING TOWARDS HIM.
BRICK ARCHER LOOKS CONFUSED AS HE IS SHAKING THE HANDSOME PRINCE'S HAND.
(Author's Note: The handsome prince and the beautiful princess are Oliver and Olivia now human again)
BRICK ARCHER
Who are you?
OLIVER AND OLIVIA LAUGH AS OLIVIA PUTS HER HAND ON BRICK'S SHOULDER.
OLIVIA
Brick, you don't recognize us?
BRICK ARCHER LOOKS CLOSELY AT OLIVER AND OLIVIA AND THEN HE REALIZES WHO THEY ARE AND JUMPS UP WITH JOY.
BRICK ARCHER
Wait, ogres, wow, you're both beautiful!
BRICK ARCHER, OLIVER AND OLIVIA BEGIN WALKING THROUGH THE CASTLE LOBBY TOGETHER PASSING BY SERVANTS, ROYAL GUARD SOLDIERS AND PARTY GUESTS.
OLIVER
Actually we aren't ogres anymore, I'm Prince Oliver and this is my future wife Princess Olivia.
WHILE BRICK ARCHER, OLIVER, AND OLIVIA ARE WALKING PEOPLE ARE COMING UP TO THEM TO SHAKE THEIR HANDS.
ALSO WHEN OLIVER AND OLIVIA WALK BY PEOPLE BOW DOWN BEFORE THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE ROYALTY.
BRICK ARCHER
So, I guess killing the witch really did break the curse, I guess she was lying when she said there was two things that must be done in order to break the curse, huh.
OLIVIA IS HOLDING OLIVER'S HAND HAS HE IS WAVING TO THEIR SUBJECTS AT THE PARTY.
OLIVIA
Actually, the curse was broken after you left.
BRICK ARCHER TURNS HIS HEAD TO LOOK AT OLIVIA.
BRICK ARCHER
What do you mean it was broken?
OLIVER THEN LOOKS AT BRICK ARCHER.
OLIVER
Brick, what she means that a couple hours after you left we kissed each other, and it was true love's kiss that broke the curse.
OLIVER THEN KISSES OLIVIA AND OLIVIA KISSES OLIVER BACK.
OLIVIA
And killing the witch was only necessarily in order so this whole mess won't happen again.
BRICK ARCHER STOPS WALKING AND OLIVER AND OLIVIA CONTINUE TO WALK.
BRICK ARCHER
So now what?
OLIVER OPENS A DOOR AND IT LOOKS LIKE A WEDDING IS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE.
(Author's Note: The castle is holding Oliver and Olivia's wedding right now during this scene)
OLIVER
Well, now that the witch is dead and the curse is broken, I guess we can finally get married.
BRICK ARCHER NODS HIS HEAD.
BRICK ARCHER
That's good, wait, where's Ms. Mount!
OLIVIA KISSES BRICK ON THE CHEEK AND POINTS FURTHER DOWN THE HALLWAY.
OLIVIA
Last I saw her saw she was still in the servants' quarters," said Princess Olivia. Brick Archer then rushed to the servants' quarters.
BRICK ARCHER BOWS DOWN TO OLIVER AND OLIVIA AND THEN EXITS THE SCENE WHILE OLIVER AND OLIVIA ARE OFF TO GET MARRIED IN THE NEXT ROOM.

YELLER JOHN IS PLEADING TO BE LET GO WHILE BRICK ARCHER SMILES AS THEY CROSS PATHS.
BRICK ARCHER
I guess they finally caught him, wait this means I don't get the reward money, crap!
BRICK ARCHER'S STOMACH BEGINS TO GROWL.
BRICK ARCHER
Man I'm hungry. I wonder where I can get a bite to eat?
BRICK ARCHER WAS WALKING AND HE SOON BUMPED INTO MISTY MOUNT WHO IS NOW A 10-FOOT TALL UGLY OVERWEIGHT BRUTISH GIANT WITH ROCK HANDS WHILE SHE IS ALSO WEARING A MAID'S OUTFIT.
MISTY MOUNT BUMPED INTO BRICK ARCHER SO HARD THAT BRICK ARCHER INSTANTLY FELL TO THE GROUND.
MISTY MOUNT
Oh I'm sorry, I...Brick?
MISTY MOUNT HELPS BRICK ARCHER GET UP AND THEN BRICK ARCHER DUSTS HIMSELF OFF.
BRICK ARCHER
Misty...I...
MISTY MOUNT SIGHS AND PUTS HER HAND ON BRICK ARCHER'S SHOULDER.
MISTY MOUNT
Okay I know, not only am I a servant to Princess Olivia, but I'm now a freaking monster, I wouldn't be in love with me if I were you.
BRICK ARCHER HUGS MISTY MOUNT.
BRICK ARCHER
But Misty...you maybe a giant now...but if I learned anything from this past month is that it's inner beauty that matters...Misty when I met you...you were beautiful...and even though you changed a lot...you'll always be beautiful...Misty...I want to be with you.
MISTY MOUNT STARES INTO BRICK ARCHER'S EYES.
MISTY MOUNT
You mean...you still love me...and you don't think I'm a monster.
BRICK ARCHER AND MISTY MOUNT ARE NOW HOLDING HANDS.
BRICK ARCHER
Yes...in fact...I want you to come with me.
MISTY MOUNT LOOKS CONFUSED.
MISTY MOUNT
Come with you...where?
BRICK ARCHER GRINS A LITTLE AND GRABS MISTY MOUNT'S HAND TIGHTLY.
BRICK ARCHER
I want you to be my partner-in-crime...I know you'll be a great bounty hunter and together we will make a great team.
MISTY MOUNT LET'S GO OF BRICK ARCHER'S HAND AND PICKS UP A BROOM AND BEGINS SWEEPING.
MISTY MOUNT

INT-OLD TAVERN-NIGHT
CHUCK ARCHER IS CLEANING A BEER MUG WHILE ALSO HUMMING A LITTLE TUNE.
CHUCK ARCHER THEN STOPS HUMMING AND SLOWLY WALKS AROUND THE BAR.
CHUCK ARCHER
And so, Brick Archer asked Princess Olivia to free Misty Mount from her servant duties and since Brick and Misty helped break her curse, Misty was no longer a servant to Princess Olivia, even though Prince Oliver offered them jobs as members of his royal guard, Brick and Misty turned his offer down so that they could become a bounty hunter team, now Brick Archer was a bounty hunter again and now he also has Misty Mount as not only a partner, but as his girlfriend too, Brick Archer and Misty Mount still love each other very much, so I guess the story is over right? Wrong, because Brick Archer and Misty Mount have to save the day again, what's the threat? Let's just say the evil witch isn't technically dead, yet.
HUGO IS WAVING TO CHUCK ARCHER AT THE END OF THE BAR.
HUGO
Hey bartender, give me a pint for the road!
CHUCK ARCHER WALKS OVER TOWARDS HUGO HOLDING A CROSSBOW.
CHUCK ARCHER

HUGO
Also, give me all the money you have as well, they call me Hugo the wanted for a reason you know.
CHUCK ARCHER THEN TOSSES HUGO A SACK OF GOLD COINS AND HUGO TIPS HIS HAT TO CHUCK ARCHER.

THE SHERIFF PULLS OUT HIS CROSSBOW AND AIMS IT AT THE DOOR.
BRICK ARCHER ENTERS THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE FIRST AND THE SHERIFF LET'S HIS GUARD DOWN A LITTLE.
THEN MISTY MOUNT ENTERS THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE HOLDING THE CRIMINAL WHO IS STILL KNOCKED OUT COLD.
THE SHERIFF THEN POINTS HIS CROSSBOW AT MISTY MOUNT.

BRICK ARCHER HANDS THE SHERIFF THE WANTED POSTER BUT THE SHERIFF CONTINUES TO STARE AT MISTY MOUNT.
THE SHERIFF
Hey, aren't you that giant that was terrorizing that kingdom awhile back...I thought I saw you on a wanted poster?
MISTY MOUNT SIGHS AND THEN PICKS UP THE CRIMINAL AND THROWS HIM INTO THE JAIL CELL WITH THE OTHER CRIMINALS WHO SEEM FRIGHTENED OF HER.
MISTY MOUNT
Yes, I was on a wanted poster but I have a royal pardon from Princess Olivia...so technically I'm not a felon anymore.
THE SHERIFF POINTS HIS CROSSBOW AT MISTY MOUNT AND MISTY MOUNT PUTS HER HANDS UP.
THE SHERIFF LOWERS HIS CROSSBOW AND THROWS BRICK ARCHER A BAG OF GOLD COINS.

BRICK ARCHER
What do you mean you've gotten a royal pardon from Princess Olivia, I thought you were just a servant to her.
MISTY MOUNT SIGHS AND THEN SITS DOWN ON A BENCH, BRICK ARCHER SITS NEXT TO HER ON THE BENCH.
MISTY MOUNT
Well...you see I used to live in the woods on account of me being a giant-human hybrid in all...so people just thought I was a monster...the citizens of Princess Olivia's kingdom captured me because they thought I was evil...so they chained me up but before I was going to get killed by them...Princess Olivia save my life...she saw I wasn't a threat to her people so she spared my life...and in order for her people not to think I was evil she made me a royal servant, I always thought she was my friend...but I don't think she really like me...I sometimes think she feels sorry for me...sometimes I think she just thinks I'm some dumb monster...maybe even her pet...but she almost felt like my friend.
BRICK ARCHER
So people automatically thought you were an evil monster who's out to hurt people...why?
MISTY MOUNT
Because people judge me before they even get to know me...you and Olivia are the only people who were nice to me...everyone else...thinks I'm an monstrous brute out to kill people...but in reality...I don't want to hurt anyone!
BRICK ARCHER
I know you're not evil...let's get something to eat.
BRICK ARCHER AND MISTY MOUNT ARE WALKING THROUGH THE SMALL VILLAGE AND PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FEARFUL OF MISTY MOUNT.
PEOPLE ARE HIDING FROM MISTY MOUNT WHILE OTHERS ARE MAKING FUN OF HER.
ANIMALS LIKE HORSES, DOGS, AND CATS ARE ALSO SCARED OF MISTY MOUNT AND RUNNING AWAY FROM HER AS SHE WALKS BY THEM.
TWO OF THE VILLAGERS ARE POINTING AT MISTY MOUNT.
MISTY MOUNT TAPS BRICK ARCHER ON THE SHOULDER.
MISTY MOUNT
Brick maybe we should get out of here before they grab their pitchforks.
BRICK ARCHER
Misty don't worry, I'll protect you, now let's grab a bite to eat.
BRICK ARCHER
That looks like a nice place to eat, come on Misty let's grab a bite.
BRICK ARCHER AND MISTY MOUNT THEN GET UP AND WALK OVER TO A SMALL TAVERN IN THE SMALL TOWN.
WHEN BRICK ARCHER AND MISTY MOUNT ENTER EVERYONE INSIDE THE TAVERN LOOKS FEARFUL OF MISTY.
THE BARTENDER PULLS OUT HIS CROSSBOW AND AIMS IT AT MISTY MOUNT WHILE SOME OF THE CUSTOMERS INSIDE THE TAVERN GRAB WEAPONS AS WELL READY TO ATTACK MISTY MOUNT.
BARTENDER
Hey you...monster guy...we don't serve your kind here!
MISTY MOUNT SIGHS AND SLOWLY TURNS AROUND TO EXIT THE TAVERN.
MISTY MOUNT
Come on Brick let's go.
BEFORE MISTY MOUNT COULD LEAVE BRICK ARCHER GRABS HER ARM.
BRICK ARCHER
No...now why won't you serve me and my girlfriend here?
THE BARTENDER LOOKS SHOCKED AND LAUGHS A LITTLE.
BARTENDER
Holy shit that's a chick...damn...buddy its just cause.
BRICK ARCHER SHAKES HIS FINGER AT THE BARTENDER.
BRICK ARCHER
Because why?
THE BARTENDER FIRES HIS CROSSBOW BUT LUCKILY HE MISSES MISTY MOUNT AND HIS ARROW HITS THE WALL INSTEAD.
BARTENDER
She's a monster...we serve people here, that freak ain't allowed in here...now get!
MISTY MOUNT RUNS OUT OF THE TAVERN CRYING WHILE BRICK ARCHER FOLLOWS BEHIND HER.

BRICK ARCHER SIGHS AND BEGINS RUBBING MISTY MOUNT'S LEG WHILE MISTY MOUNT IS CRYING INSANELY.
BRICK ARCHER
I don't feel pity for you Misty. And if you want me out of your life just say so. But just remember I'm here for you no matter what.
MISTY MOUNT
Really?
BUT BEFORE BRICK ARCHER COULD SPEAK A BRIGHT LIGHT COVERS THE SCREEN AND WE HEAR EVIL LAUGHTER.
BRICK ARCHER AND MISTY MOUNT SUDDENLY PASS OUT AND THE EVIL WITCH APPEARS AGAIN BUT SHE IS NOT HER UGLY OLD SELF BUT SHE APPEARS TO LOOK LIKE WHEN SHE WAS THE QUEEN.
THE WITCH
Time for me to have some fun!
THE WITCH LAUGHS EVILLY AS HER HANDS START GLOWING IN A BLACKISH-PURPLISH LIGHT.
FADE OUT.:
FADE IN.:
INT/EXT-FOREST-DAY
MISTY MOUNT SLOWLY WAKES UP TO SEE THE WITCH BUT MISTY MOUNT DOESN'T REALIZE YET THE SHE TURNED HER INTO A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN AGAIN.
MISTY MOUNT
You again...I thought...
THE WITHC LAUGHS EVILLY AND FLOATS OVER TOWARDS MISTY MOUNT.
THE WITCH
Look...you of all people should know that I can't be killed...and I bet you're wondering why we're beautiful again?
MISTY MOUNT LOOKS AT HER HANDS AND REALIZES THAT SHE ISN'T A UGLY BRUTISH GIANT ANYMORE BUT A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN.
MISTY MOUNT THEN FEELS HER LONG HAIR AND IT FEELS SOFT INSTEAD OF ROUGH.
MISTY MOUNT SMILES A BIT BUT THEN THAT SMILE FADES AS CONFUSION COVERS HER FACE.
MISTY MOUNT
Wait, why did you make me beautiful again?
THE WITCH THEN HUGS MISTY MOUNT.
THE WITCH
Because I didn't tell you who you really are...Misty...I'm your mother.
THE WITCH IS STILL HUGGING MISTY MOUNT WHILE MISTY IS TRYING TO BREAK FREE OF THE HUG.
MISTY MOUNT
Wait...you're my mother...what the...
THE WITCH PUTS HER HAND ON MISTY MOUNT'S SHOULDER.
THE WITCH
Yes...I am your mother, your father is actually a giant I slept with who at the time was drunk...now the point is we can rule the world together as mother and daughter and get rid of Princess Olivia and Prince Oliver at once!
MISTY MOUNT THEN SLAPS THE WITCH'S HAND WHILE IT WAS ON HER SHOULDER AND THEN THE WITCH BEGINS TO LAUGH EVILLY.
MISTY MOUNT
Wait...Oliver and Olivia are ogres again aren't they you never seem to learn!
THE WITCH THEN GRINS WHILE MISTY MOUNT LOOKS FURIOUS.
THE WITCH
Oh Oliver and Olivia aren't ogres...but someone you know is though.
THE WITCH THEN POINTS AT BRICK ARCHER AND MISTY MOUNT TURNS AROUND TO SEE THAT THE WITCH HAD TURNED BRICK ARCHER INTO A HUGE BLUE SKINNED OGRE.
MISTY MOUNT THEN RUNS OVER TOWARDS BRICK ARCHER AND TRIES TO WAKE HIM UP.
MISTY MOUNT
Brick...turn him back to normal!
THE WITCH FLOATS OVER TOWARDS MISTY MOUNT WHO IS AT BRICK ARCHER'S SIDE.
THE WITCH
Oh he's cursed...and the only why he can ever be human again, is if his true love kisses him...and by the way...it's not you.
MISTY MOUNT LOOKS SAD AND SHE SLOWY STANDS UP AND BEGINS RUBBING HER ARM.
MISTY MOUNT
I'm not his true love...but I thought...
THE WITCH PUTS HER ARM AROUND MISTY MOUNT AND THEN BEGIN WALKING TOGETHER IN A CIRCLE.
THE WITCH
Honey please...before he was an ogre he was a handsome young man...and well, you may be beautiful now...but in his eyes...you're just a freak...he doesn't love you...he just wanted you as his muscle and nothing more...look I also have to tell you something else...if his true love doesn't kiss him in 24 hours...he'll be an ogre forever...also...if he were to break his curse...you would turn back into your old ugly self...so I suggest you do what is right and come with me.
MISTY MOUNT STOPS WALKING AND CROSSES HER ARMS.
MISTY MOUNT
I'm not joining you...I want to stay with him!
THE WITCH GRINS AND SHE PULLS OUT A HUGE CLOCK.
THE WITCH
Fine...since you're not his true love, he'll probably kill you in 24 hours anyway...because now that he's an ogre...his mind thinks differently and...let's just say he's not the same Brick...so you better enjoy the last 24 hours you'll have with him...because once those 24 hours are up...he will truly be a monster!
THE WITCH BEGINS LAUGHING INSANELY AS SHE DISAPPEARS IN A CLOUD OF SMOKE.
BRICK ARCHER SLOWLY BEGINS TO WAKE UP BUT HE DOESN'T KNOW HE'S BEEN TURNED INTO AN OGRE YET.
BRICK ARCHER
Oh man what...Misty...you look like when I first met you.
MISTY MOUNT LEANS UP AGAINST A TREE.
MISTY MOUNT
Yah I'm beautiful now...but you are different...how do I put this.
BRICK ARCHER LOOKS AT HIS HANDS AND THEN SCREAMS AND JUMPS UP IN SHOCK.
BRICK ARCHER
What's happened to me, my hands are huge and blue...what's going on!
MISTY MOUNT IS STILL LEANING UP AGAINST THE TREE BUT NOW CROSSES HER ARMS AND HAS HER HEAD FACING DOWN.
MISTY MOUNT
Brick...the witch isn't dead and she's turned you into an ogre...you're cursed and in 24 hours you'll...
HUGO (O.S.)
Step away from the lady you monster!
BRICK ARCHER AND MISTY MOUNT LOOK UP INTO THE TREE AND THEY SEE HUGO HOLDING A SWORD STANDING ATOP A TREE BRANCH.
BRICK ARCHER
Hugo, what the hell are you doing here?
HUGO JUMPS DOWN FROM THE TREE BRANCH.
HUGO
How do you know my name monster, I guess my legend spread fast around here.
MISTY MOUNT TURNS TO FACE BRICK ARCHER.
MISTY MOUNT
Wait isn't the criminal we were trying to catch?
BRICK ARCHER SIGHS WHILE HUGO IS STANDING IN A FIGHTING STANCE.
BRICK ARCHER
Yes...he's the guy we're after...but there's something I didn't tell you about me and Hugo.
HUGO THEN RUSHES OVER TOWARDS BRICK ARCHER AND STARTS BEATING HIM UP.
HUGO
Enough beast! I guess I have to...
BRICK ARCHER GRABS HUGO BY THE ARM AND LIFTS HIM UP INTO THE AIR.
BRICK ARCHER
Hugo...it's me Brick!
HUGO LOOKS INTO BRICK ARCHER'S EYES.
HUGO
Wait...you don't mean Brick Archer...beast you're not making any sense.
BRICK ARCHER SETS HUGO DOWN AND PUT HIS HAND ON HIS SHOULDER.
BRICK ARCHER
You know that queen we robbed back in the day and you were caught but I wasn't...she's a witch and she cursed me...come on...you were my best friend...please recognize me!
HUGO THEN TAKES A CLOSER LOOK AT BRICK ARCHER AND HUGO STARES INTO BRICK'S EYES.
HUGO
You are Brick Archer...you were my friend...until you backstabbed me asshole.
HUGO PUTS HIS SWORD AWAY AND SPITS IN BRICK ARCHER'S FACE WHILE MISTY MOUNT WALKS OVER TOWARDS BRICK ACHER.
MISTY MOUNT
Wait...you were friends with this guy?
BRICK ARCHER PUTS HIS ARMS AROUND BOTH MISTY MOUNT AND HUGO.
BRICK ARCHER
Yes...we were friends...but we grew apart.
HUGO POINTS AT BRICK ARCHER IN ANGER AND THEN CROSSES HIS ARMS.
HUGO
No...you backstabbed me...I went to jail while you didn't...now you claim to be a bounty hunter...you'll always be a thug to me!
BRICK ARCHER SIGHS AND THEN HE TAKES HIS ARMS OFF HUGO AND MISTY MOUNT.
BRICK ARCHER
Look Hugo...I didn't mean for you to get all of the blame for that big heist we did...so as a friend...I'm sorry.
HUGO WAVES HIS ARMS BACK AND FORTH.
HUGO
All right...I might be able to forgive you...but why in the hell are you a monster...I knew you were a bit of an asshole...but a monster.
HUGO LAUGHS AND BRICK ARCHER SIGHS.
BRICK ARCHER
I told you...the queen we robbed is really a witch who turned me into an ogre for revenge...now we have to figure out how to break the curse.
MISTY MOUNT TAPS BRICK ARCHER ON THE BACK.
MISTY MOUNT
Brick the only way to break the curse is for your true love to kiss you, and she said it wasn't me!
BRICK ARCHER LOOKS SAD AND HE SITS DOWN ON A LOG.
BRICK ARCHER
Oh...but I...
HUGO LOOKS AT MISTY MOUNT AND THEN LOOKS BACK AT BRICK ARCHER AND LAUGHS.
HUGO
Wait...are you two an item or something, well Brick I didn't know you had it in you, but then again you were quite the ladies' man.
BRICK ARCHER WHILE SITTING ON THE LOG BEGINS TO TINKER WITH HIS ARROW.
BRICK ARCHER
Yah she was my girlfriend...but...
MISTY MOUNT WALKS OVER TOWARDS BRICK ARCHER AND SITS NEXT TO HIM ON THE LOG.
MISTY MOUNT
Was...what do you mean by was?
BRICK ARCHER IS STILL TINKERING WITH HIS ARROW WHILE MISTY MOUNT LOOKS PISSED.
BRICK ARCHER
Look you said you weren't my true love...so basically you didn't have feelings for me this whole time...now we have to find the witch so we can break the curse, again.
BRICK ARCHER THROWS THE ARROW AND IT GETS STUCK IN A TREE. BRICK ARCHER GETS UP AND MISTY MOUNT LOOKS HEARTBROKEN SITTING ON THE LOG.
HUGO IS STROKING HIS CHIN.
HUGO
So you two have to find some witch...good luck with that.
HUGO WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE BUT BRICK ARCHER GRABS HIS LEG AND IS NOW HOLDING HIM UPSIDE DOWN.
BRICK ARCHER
Look Hugo...two things are going to happen...one...you're going to help us...two...after you help us I'm turning you in...understand.
HUGO NODS HIS HEAD YES AND BRICK ARCHER SETS HIM DOWN AND THEN HUGO BEGINS TO DUST HIMSELF OFF.
HUGO
Okay...I'll help you...but keep those blue mitts off of me!
MISTY MOUNT GETS UP AND BEGINS PACING AROUND.
MISTY MOUNT
Brick...there's one other thing I need to tell you.
BRICK ARCHER WALKS OVER TOWARDS MISTY MOUNT BUT MISTY MOUNT IS TRYING TO AVOID HIM.
BRICK ARCHER
What?
BRICK ARCHER GRABS MISTY MOUNT AND THEN STARE INTO EACH OTHER'S EYES.
MISTY MOUNT
The witch is my mother.
BRICK ARCHER LETS GO OF MISTY MOUNT AND MISTY MOUNT FALLS TO HER KNEES WHILE BRICK ARCHER BEGINS WALKING AROUND ON ALL FOURS.
BRICK ARCHER
What...why didn't you tell me the witch was your mother?
BRICK ARCHER SITTING ON ALL FOURS LIKE A DOG STARES INTO MISTY MOUNT'S EYES WHILE MISTY MOUNT KEEPS HER HEAD DOWN WHILE KNEELING.
MISTY MOUNT
Look she just told me that she was my mother...I had no idea prior to that...so now we have to figure out where she went.
MITCH (O.S.)
I can take you three to her.
BRICK ARCHER BEGINS TO GROWL WHILE MISTY MOUNT AND HUGO LOOKS FEARFUL.
BRICK ARCHER
Who said that?
BRICK ARCHER THEN TURNS AROUND TO SEE MITCH SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PATH IN THE FOREST.
MITCH
Hello...my name is Mitch and I'm the witch's brother.
BRICK ARCHER WALKS OVER ON ALL FOURS AND BEGINS TO SNIFF MITCH.
BRICK ARCHER
Wait...you're the witch's brother...why are you a cat and why are you helping us?
MITCH SIGHS AND MITCH WALKING AROUND IN A CIRCLE.
MITCH
Because she turned me into a cat...I used to be a very powerful warlock and like you three...I want revenge...now then, I know where she is located and I'm willing to take you all to her!
MISTY MOUNT PICKS UP MITCH AND BEGINS PETTING HIM.
MISTY MOUNT
I guess we can trust him...he's my uncle.
MITCH LOOKS INTO MISTY MOUNT'S FACE.
MITCH
All right then follow...wait...what did you mean by uncle?
MISTY MOUNT CONTINUES TO PET MITCH.
MISTY MOUNT
The witch is my mother and technically that makes me your niece.
MISTY MOUNT SETS MITCH BACK DOWN AND MITCH BEGINS RUBBING MISTY MOUNT'S LEG.
MITCH
Okay, I been looking for you quite some time, but I thought you would look more like your father, if you catch my drift, but again I bet she turned you into this, so, follow me...I'll take you three to the witch...but be warned...she's more powerful than you think...you may have defeated her once...but let's just say she's can't be as easy to defeat twice.
NOW WE SEE BRICK ARCHER, MISTY MOUNT, AND HUGO FOLLOWING MITCH THROUGH THE FOREST WALKING ON A PATH.
CHUCK ARCHER (V.O.)
Now Brick Archer, Misty Mount, Hugo and Mitch were off to find the witch, can our heroes break my son's curse in time? Let's just say breaking Brick's curse is much easier thing to do than they think.
FADE OUT.:

HUGO
So Brick...I have a question...if you aren't with Misty anymore...does that mean she's like available?
BRICK ARCHER LOOKS CONFUSED.
BRICK ARCHER
What?
HUGO
I mean...I am single and she's...
BRICK ARCHER THEN GRABS HUGO AND LIFTS HIM UP INTO THE AIR.
BRICK ARCHER
Dude...you're trying to take my girl!
HUGO IS SHAKING IN FEAR AS BRICK ARCHER IS STILL HOLDING HIM.
HUGO
I thought you said you didn't love her dude...it's fair game.
BRICK ARCHER SIGHS AND THEN SETS HUGO DOWN AND CONTINUES WALKING.
BRICK ARCHER
No...she...I still like her...but trust me...I know you enough that you wouldn't like the real Misty's...appearance.
HUGO LAUGHS AND THEN BEGINS WALKING A LITTLE FASTER THAN BRICK ARCHER AND BRICK ARCHER IS WALKING ON ALL FOURS NOW.
HUGO
What do you mean by her appearance, she looks like an angel...I would totally, well, you know!
BRICK ARCHER SIGHS AND JUST STOPS WALKING FOR A SECOND.
BRICK ARCHER
I mean...in a way she was turned into a beautiful young woman...because she...at least she has inner beauty...and if you don't want me to hurt you, just don't even think about asking her out.
HUGO PUTS HIS HANDS IN HIS POCKETS.
HUGO
Okay...she's still your girlfriend in some way...but to be honest...if you're ugly and she's hot, I think she'll be the one breaking up with you.
BRICK ARCHER GRINS AND LOOKS AT HIS BLUE HAND.
BRICK ARCHER
Again you don't know her the way I do.
MITCH STOPS WALKING AND SO DOES EVERYBODY ELSE.
MITCH
We should stop here to rest for a bit, it's going to be a long walk.

Hey what's wrong my newly discovered niece?
MISTY MOUNT SIGHS AND BEGINS TO PET MITCH.
MISTY MOUNT
Oh nothing...it's just I'm worried about Brick.
MISTY MOUNT CONTINUES TO PET MITCH.
MITCH
Worried about your friend who's cursed.
MISTY MOUNT WHILE PETTING MITCH STARES AT BRICK ARCHER LOVINGLY.
MISTY MOUNT
That's just it Uncle Mitch...I think I love Brick more than a friend...but my mother said I wasn't his true love...so he doesn't love me the way I love him.
MITCH TURNS AROUND AND MISTY MOUNT BEGINS RUBBING HIS BELLY.
MITCH
Personally I think that's a bunch of bull...tell him how you feel.
MISTY MOUNT THEN GETS UP AND SLOWLY BEGINS PACING.
MISTY MOUNT
I would...but if we do break Brick's curse...he won't be an ogre anymore...but...I'll transform back into a monster again...I mean...a guy like him with a girl like me...he'll be ashamed to be seen with me...the girl he deserves is a supermodel...how can I compete with that?
MITCH PATS HIS PAW ON MISTY MOUNT'S LEG AND THEN BEGINS RUBBING HER LEG.
MITCH
Again...just tell how you feel...if he loves you...then he loves you...now...

BRICK ARCHER JUMPS OUT OF THE BUSHES AND LETS OUT A LOUD ROAR.
BRICK ARCHER
Hey let her go!
GIANT #1 PUTS MISTY MOUNT INTO A SACK AND TAPS MAGUS ON THE SHOULDER.
GIANT #1

MISTY MOUNT IS SLOWLY TURNING BACK INTO A 10-FOOT TALL UGLY OVERWEIGHT BRUTISH GIANT WITH ROCK HANDS.
BRICK ARCHER IS SLOWLY TURNING BACK INTO HIS OLD HUMAN SELF AS HE BEGINS GLOWING IN A BRIGHT LIGHT.
BRICK ARCHER AFTER TURNING BACK INTO A HUMAN STANDS UP AND LOOKS AT HIS HANDS AS HIS CLOTHES ARE NOW TORN TO SHREDS.
BRICK ARCHER
Wow...I can't believe that worked.
MISTY MOUNT CRAWLS OVER TOWARDS BRICK ARCHER ON ALL FOURS.
MISTY MOUNT
But I don't understand...my mother said I wasn't your true love!
BRICK ARCHER HUGS MISTY MOUNT AND THEN MITCH TAPS MISTY MOUNT'S LEG.
MITCH
As I said before, your mother lied, plus here's the thing...I was secretly using you to turn me back into a warlock again so I can do my evil biding...but since the curse was broken, and the witch being dead for good...I'm guess I'm stuck as a cat...Misty, Brick...I'm sorry, I'm a changed man, or should I say cat.
BRICK ARCHER LETS GO OF MISTY MOUNT AND PICKS UP MITCH AND BEGINS TO PET HIM.
BRICK ARCHER
We forgive Mitch...we know you are now on our side, you are still an important ally.
MISTY MOUNT SMILES A LITTLE SLOWLY BECOMING LESS SAD.

Oh my god, Brick...what the hell man...you've really lowered you standards...I mean look at her she's...well...at least I get what you meant about her...to the happy couple...now then since this quest thingy is over I'll just be on my way, peace out.
HUGO WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE BUT MISTY MOUNT GRABS HIM AND BRICK ARCHER WALKS OVER TOWARDS THEM.
HUGO IS TRYING TO BREAK FREE OF MISTY MOUNT'S GRIP AND MISTY LOWERS HUGO TO BRICK'S EYE LEVEL.
BRICK ARCHER
Thanks for the help...but we're still turning you in.
HUGO
But we're still friends right?
BRICK ARCHER SMILES AND THEN HE SNAPS HIS FINGERS AND MISTY MOUNT LETS HUGO GO.
BRICK ARCHER
Of course...thanks for helping us out...but you have to do your time...let's go guys.
HUGO IS ABOUT TO TRY AND FLEE AGAIN BUT MISTY MOUNT GRABS HIM AGAIN AND BRICK ARCHER PUTS HANDCUFFS ON HIM.
HUGO WHO IS NOW HANDCUFF IS BEING DRAGGED AWAY BY MISTY MOUNT WHILE BRICK ARCHER AND MITCH FOLLOW BEHIND THEM.

CHUCK ARCHER (V.O.)
My son would never be the same. After that battle with the dragon he would be limping for the rest of his life. But yet he still is a skilled archer even with his limp. Also my son would become a great father to his two children, a son named Brick Jr. and a daughter named Luna. Let's just say that someday me grandchildren will have a great adventure of their own.

So I guess she brought you back to life eh Simon.
SIMON
Indeed. Like you, I am now immortal thanks to her. So I am forever in her grateful to her and I will serve her forever.

YELLER JOHN
Hey Simon, why don't we take care of this guy huh!

What about the future generation?
SOUND: EVIL FEMALE LAUGHTER
MITCH TURNS AROUND TO SEE THE WITCH SITTING ON HER THRONE.

SIMON AND YELLER JOHN THEN BOW DOWN TO THE WITCH WHILE MITCH GETS IN A FIGHTING STANCE.
THE WITCH
Brother. I don't want to fight you. After all I turned you back into your old self.
MITCH
So what, now that I'm me again and not a cat you think I'll join your side.
THE WITCH LAUGHS AND THEN SHE HOVERS TOWARDS MITCH.
THE WITCH
What happened to you brother? You were the most feared warlock in the land and now you're playing hero. Why?
MITCH
Because I grew up and you haven't! Power isn't everything you know!
THE WITCH LAUGHS AND THEN PUT HER HAND ON MITCH'S SHOULDER.
THE WITCH
I was once a queen you know. Until that damn Brick Archer ruined it for me by not doing his job. And people who don't do their jobs make me mad.
MITCH
You knew Brick Archer would betray you and yet you let him help break the curse. Why?
THE WITCH THEN PULLS OUT MAGICAL CARDS AND BEGINS DOING CARD TRICKS.
THE WITCH
These cards foresee the future. I wanted Brick to come work for me not to slay the ogres. But to find love.
MITCH
You foresaw that Brick and Misty would fall in love.
THE WITCH CONTINUES PLAYING WITH THE MAGICAL CARDS AND THE MAGICAL CARDS BEGIN FLYING AROUND THE THRONE ROOM.
THE WITCH
You see there are two ways one can become royalty.
THE WITCH CREATES AN IMAGE OUT OF SMOKE THAT LOOKS LIKE A BABY WEARING A CROWN.
THE WITCH
You can be born into it!
THE WITCH WAVES HER HAND AND THE IMAGE IN THE SMOKE CHANGES INTO A COUPLE GETTING MARRIED.
THE WITCH
Or you can get married into royalty!
MITCH GRABS A MAGICAL CARD WHILE IT'S FLYING IN MID AIR AND LOOKS AT IT.
MITCH
Now I get what the future generation means.
THE WITCH LAUGHS EVILLY.
THE WITCH
The cards told me that my daughter would not marry into royalty but that my grandchildren might be able to.
MITCH IS SECRETLY TRYING TO PULL OUT HIS SWORD WHILE THE WITCH ISN'T LOOKING.
MITCH
So you are going to force your grandchildren to marry royalty instead of the ones they might fall in love with. But they'll be in power not you.
THE WITCH LAUGHS EVILLY.
THE WITCH
Let's just say my grandchildren can be controlled. Plus who wouldn't want to make their grandma proud.
MITCH PULLS OUT HIS SWORD AND IS ABOUT TO ATTACK THE WITCH BUT THE WITCH KNOCKS THE SWORD OUT OF MITCH'S HANDS.
ONCE THE SWORD IS ON THE GROUND YELLER JOHN AND SIMON BEGIN FIGHTING OVER IT.
MITCH
Why would you think your grandchildren would ever love a grandmother like you? Even your own daughter hates you and that's their mother.
THE WITCH LAUGHS EVILLY AND CREATES ANOTHER IMAGE OUT OF SMOKE BUT THIS TIME OF TWO UGLY GIANTS ONE MALE THE OTHER FEMALE.
THE WITCH
I know they'll be a lot like their mother because they'll have feel like they are monsters and that they will never find love unless...
THE IMAGE INSIDE THE SMOKE CHANGES FROM TWO UGLY GIANTS ONE MALE THE OTHER FEMALE INTO TWO BEAUTIFUL YOUNG PEOPLE ONE MALE AND THE OTHER FEMALE.
THE WITCH
But old grandma can do something their own mother cannot. Make them beautiful.
MITCH
Someone might love them for who they are. How are you the one to judge what's beautiful and what's not?
THE WITCH LAUGHS AND THEN CREATES ANOTHER IMAGE OUT OF SMOKE THAT'S AN ANGRY MOB CHASING TWO GIANTS ONE FEMALE AND ONE MALE.
THE WITCH
I never said I judge what's beautiful but they do!
MITCH THEN ATTACKS THE WITCH AND MITCH AND THE WITCH BEGIN TO FIGHT EACH OTHER.
THE WITCH DEFEATS MITCH AND MITCH LIES ON THE THRONE ROOM FLOOR WOUNDED FROM THE FIGHT.
THE WITCH OFFERS HER HAND OUT TO MITCH.
THE WITCH
Join me brother!
MITCH SPITS IN THE WITCH'S FACE AND THE WITCH LAUGHS EVILLY.
THE WITCH SNAPS HER FINGERS AND THEN SIMON AND YELLER JOHN WALK OVER AND PICK UP MITCH.
THE WITCH
You two take him to the dungeon. But before you do. I need him to learn who's in charge here.
THE WITCH SNAPS HER FINGERS AND THEN MITCH SLOWLY TRANSFORMS BACK INTO A BLACK CAT.
AFTER MITCH TRANSFORMED BACK INTO A BLACK CAT HE IS ABLE TO ESCAPE SIMON AND YELLER JOHN'S GRIP.
MITCH FLEES OUT OF THE WITCH'S THRONE ROOM AND SIMON AND YELLER JOHN CHASE AFTER HIM.
THE WITCH THEN SITS BACK DOWN ON HER THRONE AND BEGINS TO LAUGH EVILLY.

MITCH FINALLY ESCAPES OUT A WINDOW AND SIMON AND YELLER JOHN LOOK OUT THROUGH THE WINDOW HE ESCAPE THROUGH.
YELLER JOHN
Think he's dead?
SIMON
I think so! Want to grab a bite to eat?
YELLER JOHN
Sure!
SIMON AND YELLER JOHN MAKE THEIR WAY TO THE KITCHEN WHILE MITCH IS HANGING ONTO OF A GARGOYLE STATUE OUTSIDE OF THE WITCH'S LAIR.
MITCH WHISTLES AND A HAWK COMES FLYING BY AND MITCH JUMPS ON TOP OF THE HAWK.
MITCH
Hello old friend. Can you fly me somewhere?
HAWK
Sure master. Where would you like to go?
MITCH
Take me to a small cottage in the woods, near giant territory. I need to protect my family.
HAWK
From who master?
MITCH
Their grandmother!
MITCH IS RIDING ON TOP OF THE HAWK FLYING ABOVE THE DARK FOREST ESCAPING THE WITCH'S LAIR.
CUT TO.:
SIMON AND YELLER JOHN INSIDE THE WITCH'S THRONE ROOM WHERE THE WITCH IS READING A BOOK.
SIMON
So when should we attack?
YELLER JOHN
Yeah I'm ready to get my revenge on!
THE WITCH SLAMS HER BOOK SHUT AND GETS UP FROM HER THRONE AND LOOKS OUT HER WINDOW.
THE WITCH
Our attack will take place 20 years from now!
SIMON
20 years!
YELLER JOHN
Why that long?
THE WITCH GRINS AND TURNS BACK TO FACE SIMON AND YELLER JOHN.
THE WITCH
Because that is the time my grandchildren will become of age to marry. Now then, we have time to kill. I'm going to my library. I suggest you two find something to amuse yourselves with for 20 years.
THE WITCH THEN DISAPPEARS IN A CLOUD OF BLACKISH-PURPLISH SMOKE AND WHILE SHE'S DISAPPEAR WE HEAR EVIL LAUGHTER.
SIMON AND YELLER JOHN THEN BEGIN TO PLAY ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS WITH EACH OTHER AND SIMON WINS EVERY TIME.
CHUCK ARCHER (V.O.)

MITCH AND HAWK CONTINUE TO WATCH BRICK JR. AND LUNA FROM OUTSIDE THEIR BEDROOM WINDOW.

BRICK ARCHER WALKS IN AND SALUTES HUGO AND HUGO REACHES OUT HIS HAND TO SHAKE BRICK ARCHER'S HAND.
BRICK ARCHER AND HUGO BEGIN TO SHAKE EACH OTHER HANDS.
CUT TO.:
THE OUTSIDE OF THE CASTLE WHERE A HUGE WALL IS BEING BUILT AROUND IT AND WE SEE THE WORKERS BUILDING THE WALL ALONG WITH THE ROYAL GUARD KEEPING WATCH.
CHUCK ARCHER (V.O.)
To keep the kingdom and his daughter safe, Prince Oliver built a huge wall around the kingdom to keep out their enemies.
FADE OUT.:
FADE IN.:
INT/EXT-OLD TAVERN-DAY
CHUCK ARCHER IS SWEEPING AND THERE ARE ONLY FOUR CUSTOMERS IN THE ENTIRE TAVERN.
CHUCK ARCHER (V.O.)
As for me I continue to run my little tavern and business has been slow lately but the place can still bring in a good crowd.
CHUCK ARCHER STOPS SWEEPING AND BEGINS TO HEAD UPSTAIRS TO THE TOP FLOOR OF THE TAVERN.
CHUCK ARCHER ENTERS A BEDROOM THAT IS ABOVE THE TAVERN AND IT'S HIS BEDROOM.
CHUCK ARCHER BEGINS TO CLEAN UP HIS BEDROOM AND WE SEE HIM CLEANING UP OLD BATTLE ARMOR AND WAR TROPHIES.
CHUCK ARCHER IS CLEANING OUT HIS CLOSET WHEN A BOX FALLS OFF FROM A TOP SELF.
THE BOX IS FILLED WITH OLD PHOTOS AND CHUCK ARCHER BEGINS TO LOOK THROUGH THEM.
CHUCK ARCHER LOOKS AT OLD PHOTOS OF HIS TIME AS THE CAPTAIN OF THE ROYAL GUARD.
CHUCK ARCHER EVEN FINDS OLD PHOTOS OF WHEN BRICK ARCHER WAS A CHILD.
CHUCK ARCHER THEN FINDS A PICTURE OF HIS DEAD WIFE AND BRICK'S MOTHER SITTING ON A THRONE DRESSED IN A ROYAL OUTFIT LIKE A QUEEN.
CHUCK ARCHER
Oh honey, you be proud of your little boy. He's become quite the man.
CHUCK ARCHER BEGINS RUBBING THE PICTURE OF HIS DEAD WIFE.
CHUCK ARCHER
I still remember when we first met. I was the captain of the royal guard and you be the princess from a rival kingdom.
CHUCK ARCHER HANDS BEGINS TO SHAKE WHILE HE IS HOLDING THE PICTURE OF HIS DEAD WIFE.
CHUCK ARCHER
Our kingdoms may have been at war, but yet we still fell in love.
CHUCK ARCHER SIGHS.
CHUCK ARCHER
Yet our love could never be because I wasn't a prince.
CHUCK ARCHER KISSES THE PICTURE OF HIS DEAD WIFE AND PUTS IT BACK INSIDE THE BOX.
CHUCK ARCHER SIGHS AND THEN SETS THE BOX ON THE FLOOR.
CHUCK ARCHER
I may not be a prince. But I'm proud my son is.
CHUCK ARCHER GETS UP AND CONTINUES CLEANING UP HIS BEDROOM.
CHUCK ARCHER
I wish you hadn't died in the war. But our kingdoms were enemies at the time even though you were the love of me life.
CHUCK ARCHER OPENS UP ANOTHER BOX FILLED WITH ROYAL DOCUMENTS AND A CROWN.
CHUCK ARCHER
Since I wasn't a prince our love had to be kept secret. So only you and I knew the truth.
CHUCK ARCHER PICKS UP THE CROWN AND LOOKS AT IT.
CHUCK ARCHER
My son would be a great king and I know his people need him right now more than ever.
CHUCK ARCHER PUTS THE CROWN BACK INSIDE THE BOX AND PUTS THE BOX BACK INSIDE THE CLOSET.
CHUCK ARCHER
But I promised you honey and I never break a promise. That my son shall never find out he's a prince. But at least Brick has a good life that you would be proud of.
CHUCK ARCHER SLOWLY EXITS HIS BEDROOM.
CHUCK ARCHER HEADS DOWNSTAIRS BACK INTO THE OLD TAVERN AND BEGINS SERVING DRINKS TO CUSTOMERS.
FADE OUT.:
FADE IN.:
INT/EXT-OLD TAVERN-DAY
THE TAVERN BECAME PRETTY CROWDED WHEN CHUCK ARCHER RETURNED FROM HIS BEDROOM UPSTAIRS AND THE PLACE IS PRETTY BUSY.
BRICK ARCHER AND HUGO ENTER THE TAVERN.
CHUCK ARCHER WALKS OVER AND GIVE BRICK ARCHER A HUG.
AFTER CHUCK ARCHER HUGGED BRICK ARCHER, CHUCK ARCHER SHAKES HUGO'S HAND.
CHUCK ARCHER
What brings you boys to me tavern?
BRICK ARCHER
We just thought we could get a bite to eat.
HUGO
And some booze to drink. This place is pretty lively. I never have seen it this busy before.
CHUCK ARCHER SMILES AND WALKS BACK TO THE BAR.
CHUCK ARCHER
You boys find yourselves a table and I'll be with ye in a minute.
BRICK ARCHER AND HUGO SIT IN A BOOTH AND THEY BEGIN TO DISCUSS BUSINESS.
HUGO
Now then, apparently they are planning to attack us tomorrow at dawn. We've been at war with this kingdom for years.
BRICK ARCHER TAKES A SIP FROM HIS BEER MUG.
BRICK ARCHER
I know, I guess they'll never forgive us for killing their princess back in the day. Weird she never married.
HUGO STABS A KNIFE DOWN ON THE MAP ONTO OF THE KINGDOM THEY ARE PLANNING TO ATTACK.
HUGO
We'll send our troops here! Luckily their king is getting older and they have no heir. Soon their kingdom will be ours!
BRICK ARCHER SIGHS AND TAKES ANOTHER SIP OF BEER.
BRICK ARCHER
Hey Hugo, have you heard their legend of the lost heir?
HUGO LAUGHS AND PULLS THE KNIFE OUT OF THE TABLE HE STABBED IT ON.
HUGO
Ha, you mean that one of the royal guard soldiers slept with the princess and they had a child together. I heard Prince Oliver's father killed that guy for betraying the kingdom.
BRICK ARCHER TAKES ANOTHER SIP OF BEER.
BRICK ARCHER
Do you think the lost heir is still alive?
HUGO AND BRICK ARCHER THEN BEGIN TO LAUGH TOGETHER.
HUGO
Luckily now that we have the giants as allies we can finally end this war once and for all!
BRICK ARCHER LEAVES A TIP ON THE TABLE AND BRICK ARCHER AND HUGO EXIT THE TAVERN.
THEN UNBEKNOWST TO BRICK ARCHER AND HUGO SITTING BEHIND THEM WERE YELLER JOHN AND SIMON WHO WERE DRINKING AT THE TAVERN.
SIMON
Wow, I'm glad we weren't caught.
YELLER JOHN
Yeah, I don't think the witch can get me out of the dungeon twice.
SIMON AND YELLER JOHN CONTINUE EATING AND DRINKING AT THE TAVERN.
THE CUSTOMERS AT THE TAVERN BEGIN TO DANCE AND SING THEY BECOME QUITE ROWDY AND MOST OF THEM ARE REALLY DRUNK.
FADE OUT.:
FADE IN.:
INT/EXT-FOREST-NIGHT
CHUCK ARCHER (V.O.)
And so, our story ends with kind of a happy ending in a way.
WE SEE BRICK ARCHER OUTSIDE CARRYING HIS BOW AND ARROW.
CHUCK ARCHER (V.O.)
Me son has a great job.
BRICK ARCHER IS GETTING READY TO FIRE THE ARROW.
CHUCK ARCHER (V.O.)
Me grandchildren are safe.
BRICK ARCHER FIRES THE ARROW INTO A TARGET.
CHUCK ARCHER (V.O.)
For now!
BRICK ARCHER KEEPS FIRING ARROWS INTO DIFFERENT TARGETS.
CHUCK ARCHER (V.O.)
The kingdom is a peace!
BRICK ARCHER HITS A BIRD WITH ONE OF HIS ARROWS.
CHUCK ARCHER (V.O.)
For now!
CUT TO.:
BRICK ARCHER IS CHOPPING WOOD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FOREST.
CHUCK ARCHER (V.O.)
The witch isn't a threat!
BRICK ARCHER CUTS DOWN A HUGE TREE AND THE HUGE TREE FALLS DOWN TO THE GROUND.
CHUCK ARCHER (V.O.)
For now!
BRICK ARCHER IS GATHERING THE WOOD AND PACKING IT INTO THE BACK OF A WAGON.
CHUCK ARCHER (V.O.)
But yet, me son, his family and the kingdom face an uncertain future.
BRICK ARCHER PULLS THE WAGON FILLED WITH WOOD DOWN A DIRT PATH.
CHUCK ARCHER (V.O.)
For now!
CUT TO.:
MITCH AND THE HAWK SITTING ON TOP OF A TREE BRANCH WATCH BRICK ARCHER PULL THE WAGON OF FIREWOOD THROUGH THE DIRT PATH BACK TO HIS COTTAGE.
MITCH
Brick, I hope you can save us again next time.
HAWK
I think he will master. If you just believe.
MITCH LAUGHS A LITTLE AND PATS HAWK ON THE BACK.
MITCH
Oh you're such a loyal friend Mr. Hawk. Now then, do you think we should tell them about the witch still?
HAWK NODS HIS HEAD KNOW AND MITCH TURNS HIS HEAD TO FACE HAWK.
MITCH
Why do you think we should warn them about the witch?
HAWK
Well master it's just that the kingdom is finally at peace I really think we shouldn't end it just yet.
MITCH
Did you not hear they are planning to go war with a rival kingdom old friend?
HAWK FLAPS HIS WINGS A LITTLE AND MITCH SNEEZES.
HAWK
You didn't hear? We're not going to war. We signed a peace treaty. I heard our alliance with the giants really scared them. But just imagine if they found their lost heir.
MITCH LAUGHS.
HAWK
What you don't believe in the lost heir legend?
MITCH STARES DICRETLY AT HAWK AND THEY LOOK AT EACH OTHER EYE TO EYE.
MITCH
It is no legend Mr. Hawk! For you see we are the protectors of the royal family!
HAWK TURNS HIS HEAD IN CONFUSION.
HAWK
What are you talking about?
MITCH
Brick Archer was born with royal blood. His mother is a princess. And the royal bloodline continues.
HAWK'S JAW DROPS AND LETS OUT A LOUD SCREAM.
HAWK
You're telling me that Brick Archer is the lost heir! So that means he's a prince.
MITCH
Well, let's just keep this secret between you and me my friend.
HAWK
No we have to tell Brick about this. His people need him.
HAWK WAS ABOUT TO FLY AWAY BUT MITCH STEPS ON HAWK'S TAIL.
MITCH
We can never let Brick know who he truly is. Because it'll lead to his father's death and we cannot let that happen.
HAWK
Wait, why would they want to kill Chuck?
MITCH SIGHS.
MITCH
Because let's just say that Chuck Archer did a really bad thing that we must never speak of. Now come on Mr. Hawk. It's time to fly.
HAWK
Okay!
MITCH JUMPS ON TOP OF HAWK AND MITCH AND HAWK FLY AWAY TOGETHER WITH MITCH RIDING HAWK.
MITCH AND HAWK ARE FOLLOWING BRICK ARCHER BACK TO HIS COTTAGE.
BRICK ARCHER LOOKS UP INTO THE SKY AND SEES MITCH RIDING HAWK.
BRICK ARCHER WAVES TO MITCH AND HAWK WHO ARE HIGH IN THE SKY.
CHUCK ARCHER (V.O.)
So our tale ends for now. But I'll eventually continue the tale down the road maybe after a pint or two. But for now it is a time of peace so the story ends. But the legend of Brick Archer continues on. And he leaves a legacy that will span generations as his legend grows. For he is the one who broke the curse. And he's the only one who can defeat the witch. May the lord be on his side!
THE END?
