[We dissolve to room outside the throne room. King is looking out the window, bored]
(muttering) I'm fed up.
We're all terribly pleased you're back, Father.
I'm not. I miss the smell of blood in my nostrils, and the queen's 'got a headache'.
Oh dear. But we do have a fascinating week ahead. In fact, the Archbishop of York has asked me if you'd care to join his formation Italian dance class, and I really ought to give him an answer.
Do you want me to be honest or tactful?
Er, tactful, I think.
Tell him to get stuffed!
Right.
Has the little hooligan McAngus left?
No, Edmund's giving him a last look round the castle now.
[We cut to outside at the top of the castle, and Edmund shows McAngus the view from an archer's battlement, then turns away]
...While this... [shows McAngus a cannon]
[We cut back to the King and Harry]
[to Harry] Well, I'll be sorry to see him go.
[We cut back to the roof]
[with his head down the mouth of the cannon] Och, very interestin'. [Edmund moves to behind the cannon]
[Back inside]
[to his father] Yes, and so will Edmund. They've become firm friends.
[Then a very loud sound is heard from outside]
What the devil?!
The Turks!
The drains!
Father! Harry! There's been rather a messy accident. You must come quickly!
Oh my God! I shall need my plunger! [rushs out, followed by the King]
[Edmund jumps for joy as the end credits start]
