    (Ye Comte de Blofeld runs from room to room, Sir James only pausing to make quick sketches of ye tapestries showing where all ye maidens were sent.)
    Sir James: Good Lord, why art there so many islands, river and mountains??? Time ist short, I willst just draw ye fjord or town ye maiden lives in, and find ye correct one later. How hard can it be?
    ( Ye Comte finally dives through a small window into ye snow outside as ye castle blows up. Sir James follows.)

    The last scene. I don't think I've caught the right mood, and would appreciate all help since this is a classic Bond moment.


    Act 5, Scene 4. A wedding.

    Toastmaster: Milord, ladies and gentlemen, agents of discretion, assorted varlets, men in green shoes: the toast is The Bride And Groom, Sir James and Lady Bond!
    (All cheer.)
    Sir Miles: Mine heartiest congratulations, Sir James.
    Sir James: I thank’ee, sire.
    Prince Draco: Sir James, here, take this...
    Sir James: Nay, father-in-law, her price ist far higher than rubies.
    Prince Draco: Ruby? Ye maiden from Pizza Gloria? Do not tell me that thou didst..
    Sir James: (Apace.) Nay, nay, thou hast misunderstood.
    Maid Moneypenny: Wah... sniff...
    Sir James: Sir Miles, what ist wrong with Maid Moneypenny?
    Sir Miles: I shalt explain later, Naught Naught Seven.
    Old Wizard: Thine attention I crave, Naught Naught Seven. My services I do offer thee.
    Sir James: In this department I shall not need thine services, Old Wizard.
    (Sir James and his new wife drive off in their carriage.)
    Lady Bond: Thou hast avoided running down that man in green shoes, Sir James.
    Sir James: Later, perhaps- all the time in the world doth we have.
    Lady Bond: Take these flowers from our carriage, Sir James.
    Sir James: But of course.
    (A carriage rushes by, driven by ye Comte de Blofeld. Fraulein Irma takes aim, and Lady Bond ist slain.)
    Sir James: That was ye Comte... (Realises.) All ye time in ye world we doth have....


    (Exeunt Omnes.)

    I be'ith not happy with mine shading or use of perspective. As it always be a matter of perspective. I doth not feel I've captured the full natural beauty of these lands.
    ( Ye Comte finally dives through a small window into ye snow outside as ye castle blows up. Sir James follows.)



    Sir James: Aw, thou art so cute! Didst thee bring any brandy?
    (Ye dog begins to hump Sir James’s leg.)
    Sir James: Ah... ok.... enough now... down, boy... At least buy me a Brandy first !

    Sir Miles: Mine heartiest congratulations, Sir James. I hope you enjoyed my speech.
    Sir James: Aye, I thank’ee, sire. Your remark that as we both met Gambling with cards, that we were
    "Well suited" for each other was worthy of the great Sir James of Tarbuck.
    Sir Miles : T'was all in jest.
    Sir James : as was your witticism, that it be a day full of Emotions, that even the cake was in tiers !
    Sir Miles : ( Laughs ) Aye, as was mine " I'm here till thursday, try the veal "

    Maid Moneypenny : Nay, I'm holding the bridal bouquet and it's playing hell with my Hay fever.
    Sir James: Sir Miles, what ist wrong with Maid Moneypenny?

    Old Wizard : New and revised it now hath Two positions !
    Sir James : TWO !!!!! How could .......
    Old Wizard : Apace Sir James, your Bride is eager to get off, ..... sorry to get away.
    (Sir James and his new wife drive off in their carriage.)

    I liked the "buy me a brandy first" line. :))

    Someone should comment during the wedding that Bond must really be in love this time, because he has only deflowered half of the bridesmaids.
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 37,874Chief of Staff

    Edit: All of the above now included! Unless anyone has some last-minute alterations or ideas, that's this one concluded and I think it's our best yet! {[] {[] {[]

    Lady Tiffany: Ne’er shall I pleasure with business combine. How should I colour mine tresses to please thee?
    Sir James: I care not, should the cowl match the corset. Art thou fond of ye gemstones, Lady Tiffany?
    Lady Tiffany: They are all I need to please me- they can stimulate and tease me. Return here tonight and we shall discuss this matter further.

    (Later, Sir James ist surprised to see ye real Yeoman Franks making his way to Lady Tiffany’s chambers.)
    Sir James: Guten abend! Thou art English?
    Yeoman Franks: Aye, ‘tis so.
    Sir James: I speak English- after who, sir.
    (Sir James does battle with Yeoman Franks, slaying him just as Lady Tiffany appears, and slipping his own purse into Franks’ pocket.)
    Lady Tiffany: (Examining ye purse.) In faith, thou hast slain he who is called Bond, James Bond!
    Sir James: Verily! It doth show that nobody lives forever.
    Lady Tiffany: Thou dost not slay Sir James Bond and tarry for the constables, Yeoman Franks, thou must make speed with carrying the gemstones.

    Shady Tree: ...he hast only been there twice- ye first time he was sick, and ye second time his hat blew off!

    (Possibly another joke or two from Shady)

    (Ye audience laughs. Sir James moves on to ye gaming tables.)
    Sir James: I prithee, may I have credit for ten thousand of thine dollars?
    Croupier: Yeoman Saxby...?
    (Enter Yeoman Saxby. Sir James displays his gold coins in a purse labelled “Slumber”.)
    Yeoman Saxby: Aye, ‘tis good.
    (Sir James begins to gamble and ist accosted by a most beauteous and fulsome wench.)
    Mistress Plenty: With thine sport I proffer mine assistance.
    Sir James: Most grateful I am, Mistress...?
    Mistress Plenty: Plenty am I.
    Sir James: Most verily, ‘tis true.
    Mistress Plenty: Plenty O’Toole.
    Sir James: For thine father thou be named, I am sure. Thou art ye most beauteous wench I have ever seen.
    Mistress Plenty: Verily?
    Sir James: Nay, but I don't mind lying if it gets me somewhere.
    Mistress Plenty: Then let us retire to thine chambers, thou smooth talker.
    Sir James: To be sure, after I have made some bets...

    (This could be when Kidd & Wint go visit Shady backstage)

    (Later, in a boarding house.)
    Mistress Plenty: Thine chambers be most beauteous, Yeoman Franks.
    Sir James: I bid thee welcome.
    (They embrace. Enter ye three Naughty Men.)
    Sir James: With more than mine hands up hast thou found me.
    (Two of ye varlets seize Mistress Plenty and take her to ye window.)
    Mistress Plenty: Cease forthwith! Thou canst not do this to me! I do have friends in this-
    (She ist thrown out of ye window.)
    Mistress Plenty: T
    O
    W
    N!!!!!
    Sir James: (Looking out ye window.) ‘Tis most fortunate her fall was broken by yon man wearing green trainers!
    1st Naughty Man: I didn't know there was a fool down there.
    Sir James: Now, I do assume thou hast come for ye...
    (The three varlets exit.)
    Sir James: ?:) .... gemstones?
    Lady Tiffany: (From ye bedroom.) Oh, Yeoman Franks...?
    Sir James: Ah, now I do see.
    (Sir James enters ye bedroom to find Lady Tiffany atop his bed.)
    Lady Tiffany: Good evening, Yeoman Franks.
    Sir James: It may turn out that way after all.
    Lady Tiffany: Mayhap, but first we shouldst talk.
    (Sir James begins to remove his clothes.)
    Sir James: Of gemstones, perhaps?
    Lady Tiffany: 'Tis correct... keep going...
    (Sir James ist completely disrobed.)
    Sir James: Thou wishest to know where ye real gemstones are?
    Lady Tiffany: Most impressed I am, Peter Franks, to thee there ist a lot more than I did expect.
    Sir James: Touch it, stroke it and undress it....
    (After a discreet interval...)
    Lady Tiffany: ...so, Peter, where shalt I get ye gemstones?
    Sir James: Where else, but from a circus?

    In all immodesty, I'm really pleased with the "fool/pool" pun! ;%

    Act 4, Scene 2. A circus. A sign says “Book now for Berlin, only twelve years left.”

    Lord Felix: A circus? I prithee, Sir James, of all places why a circus?
    Sir James: It did seem like a good idea at ye time.
    Lord Felix: And what were thou doing at ye time?
    Sir James: ...er...
    Lord Felix: Oh, I see. Ye next time, thou should be standing up when picking a place.
    Sir James: Art thine men ready?
    Lord Felix: Many of them, over a hundred. A mouse in green sneakers couldn't get through! Ah, here comes ye lady now.
    (Lady Tiffany enters ye circus.)

    " A mouse in green sneakers couldn't get through " :D
    "I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
