Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends (1981) s01e11 Episode Script
Knights & Demons
1
Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends!
Iceman and Firestar.
Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends!
I, Modred the Evil,
have been imprisoned for centuries
in this wretched Land of Shades.
Banished by him, the Black Knight,
and his enchanted Ebony Blade.
But now, my evil friends, my demon slave
Darkon has just been unearthed.
When next the mystic light
of the full moon shines upon him,
the demon Darkon
shall live again to do my will.
He will bring the Ebony Blade to me
and then you and I
will at last escape this Land of Shades
and invade the earth.
We'll wreak terrible havoc
for our long imprisonment.
Cry havoc
and let loose the demons of revenge.
Let us see the world
that will soon be ours.
Nothing has changed.
Fear not, fair maiden.
Sir Flash will quickly
vanquish this knave.
Sir Flash doth giveth me a royal pain.
With that lance,
he's giving Peter a real pain.
Talk about taking this Middle Ages fair
too seriously.
Flash, don't get so carried away, OK?
Flash Thompson plays to win, Parker.
- Flash?
- Yes, Angel?
It's hot.
I can't get this open.
Now it's cold. And I can't see.
You shouldn't have.
Shucks. What are friends for?
It's that statue they just dug up.
They're unveiling it at our fair.
Where did this storm come from?
Remember, Angelica,
in medieval times women never interfered
in their knights' noble quests.
- Since when is he your knight?
- Since never.
All in a day's knight's work.
So this new age
has its magical beings too.
When Darkon comes to life,
he will bring them here to serve me.
"The Black Knight
defeated the evil wizard Modred
using his Ebony Blade
made by Merlin the Magician."
"The Black Knight banished Modred
to the terrible Land of Shades."
Land of Shades?
Is that where they make sunglasses?
This is supposed to be
the actual authentic Ebony Blade.
Merlin's inscription.
"When Modred's Darkon stalks the land,
the Black Knight's blade
in evil's way will stand."
I bet old Merlin
never had a hit on the Top 40.
Sorry, Merlin. It does rhyme.
Nobody's watching, so I'll help you out.
"When Modred's Darkon stalks the land,
the Black Knight's blade
in evil's way will stand."
We are summoned, winged Aragorn.
But the Ebony Blade is gone.
We will search the world if needs be,
but we will find it.
I might have liked
living in the days of chivalry.
Who knows, I may have been a princess
and been put on a pedestal.
More likely you'd be dusting off
pedestals as a cleaning Wench.
- Dinner's ready.
- Great.
Time for dinner, Peter. Peter.
Sorry, Aunt May.
I needed some quiet to read.
"Merlin, Magic And Medieval Mythology."
My!
- That stuffs just phoney baloney.
- Baloney.
That's what we're having for dinner.
Baloney and beans.
- Excuse me, milady.
- Chivalry is dead.
You see one super-clown in New York,
you've seen 'em all.
According to medieval times,
the girl walks behind the man.
For sure, Sir Flash.
Now, I'll telleth you
how I won the big game last year.
We were losing 6-0
with 3O seconds to play.
I was quarterback and I knew I had to
throw that touchdown pass, so
They say Modred created that thing.
It's a demon that's supposed to come
to life during a full moon or something.
Like tonight?
You guys
can look at statues if you like.
I prefer warm bodies
of the female persuasion.
Is that body warm enough for you?
- Spider-Friends
- Go for it!
Darkon, demon of Modred,
you shall speak with my voice.
The Ebony Blade.
Surrender the Ebony Blade.
Where is the Ebony Blade?
I don't know. I don't even shave yet.
You are more knave than knight.
The Ebony Blade.
Where is the Ebony Blade?
- We don't have it, Darkon.
- So try this on for size.
- OK, how about something in a plaid?
- And just so I don't feel left out
Hey, beautiful.
Let's go steady.
What? My own shadow?
I've heard of shadow-boxing,
but this is ridiculous.
Now you see him, etcetera, etcetera.
You say the nicest things.
There's no need to fear,
Spider-Man is here,
and freezing to death.
Give me the Ebony Blade
or you shall be destroyed.
I think this is the dumb thing he wants.
If he'll go away, I'll give it to him.
Yes, it is the true blade.
Maybe if we attack him all together.
- What the?
- No.
You seek the Ebony Blade, demon?
Your search is ended.
The Black Knight. Vengeance is sweet.
Do you believe in sorcery now,
freeze-face?
Yeah, but don't tell me
the horse with wings can really fly.
- Look.
- I asked you not to tell me that.
You wear a demon's guise
but your voice betrays you, Modred.
Come on.
- Black Knight.
- Zounds!
- We'll help you.
- Great Merlin! Another?
- Me, too, Sir Knight.
- Three demons!
Where? We'll take care of 'em.
He means us, Frosty.
The Blade!
Too late. The demon has escaped
to Modred's dimension.
You demons, I will destroy you
for your distractions.
Hold it. We're friends.
Follow me and we'll talk.
- Friends? I know you not.
- But we know you.
And we know Modred mustn't use
the Blade to escape the Land of Shades.
- True indeed.
- We'll help you.
- This is no quest for a woman.
- I'll ignore that.
Watch. I'm no ordinary woman,
Sir Knight.
Yes, I can see that.
Well, then, if you are willing, we will
pursue Modred to the Land of Shades
using this, the Merlin Medallion.
He's got more gimmicks than James Bond.
The spell to take us
into Modred's dimension
must be performed
at only one place on Earth.
- Ready?
- Not really. But let's go.
To England, then.
To the mystic monoliths of Stonehenge.
Stonehenge?
This is the most perilous journey
we will ever take.
Fire maiden, stay.
- Stay? No way, Blackie.
- Blackie?
Besides, with the Merlin Medallion,
we're completely protected
from Modred's black magic, right?
Yes. As long as we have this,
we're safe.
By Merlin's power,
bear us to the Land of Shades.
Blow winds, winds blow.
From their hands make the magic go.
Blow. Howl. Shriek!
- No!
- Wait! The Merlin Medallion!
Yonder is the castle of Modred the Evil.
Without the Merlin Medallion,
we have only our talents and wits
against his powerful magic.
If we're lucky, maybe he'll only hit us
with a few card tricks.
The quest is ended.
The Ebony Blade is mine.
Now I am free
and evil inherits the Earth.
But first we must attend to the Black
Knight and his magical companions.
Welcome to my domain, foolhardy ones.
Mod red!
- Here, lam all-powerful.
- Let's see about that.
Not bad for a woman,
right, Black Knight?
Firestar!
Seize him!
'Tis fitting that you have come,
old foe.
Now I can enjoy my final revenge,
imprisoning you forever
in this wretched place.
Nay, Modred.
Nay? Modred says yea, verily.
Imprisoned here for eternity.
You are beautiful, fiery one.
Perhaps I shall spare you.
On Earth I shall need an obedient bride.
- Fire to ice? Did I do that?
- No.
It's cold. I have no power left.
Decide soon, fire maiden.
Join me or remain here forever.
What?
Behold, a handsome knight
in shining armour.
Well, technically it's not armour.
It's ice.
See, that's how I got my name,
Sir Ice of Man.
And who do I have the pleasure of
Not so rough, ladies.
Ladies?
What's your friendly neighbourhood
Spider-Man doing
in such an unfriendly neighbourhood?
Trying to leave, that's what.
The hour is come. Alert your demonic
clans to gather outside the castle.
Modred shall lead them
into the dimension of Earth.
Maybe if I can build myself up
a little more.
Mama told me to watch out
for girls like that.
Surprise.
Let's see. How does this gadget work?
Not bad for a beginner.
Don't think it hasn't been fun, guys,
cos it hasn't.
Spidey. Iceman. Up here.
Firestar. I always wanted
to rescue a maiden from a castle.
Hi, hot stuff. New apartment?
Yeah, but it's kind of chilly, so
I'm thinking of moving. Like right now.
Can't fly yet, Spidey.
Ifyoulaugh,
I'll never speak to you again.
There he is.
Here's a present from the girl
you wanted to leave behind.
Zounds! A knight rescued by a woman?
We'll talk about how times have changed
later on, Blackie. Come on.
The moment is here, my demons,
to depart this Land of Shades.
To Earth. Demons, follow me.
Sorry, but nobody's following Mr Magic
except us.
Aragorn, my noble steed.
Got room for one more, Blackie?
Come on,
before that dimensional hole closes.
Better kick in the after-burners.
Drop me off here.
It's gotta be here someplace.
We face each other at last, Modred.
Ready, Sir Knight.
If I were a Merlin Medallion,
where would I be?
Darkon, avenge me!
No!
There.
I sure hope this trinket still works.
You like magic, Modred?
Here's the famous linking-rings trick.
Oh, no. Not again.
Frosty. Frisbee time.
The Merlin Medallion.
Here it comes, Blackie.
Modred,
by the power of the Merlin Medallion,
you are banished once more
back to the Land of Shades.
No. The demons. They'll destroy me. No!
Those are the breaks.
No!
You promised us freedom.
Even demons dream.
You miserably failed us.
No!
Forsooth, Firestar,
my own century
could very well have erred
in its attitude toward damsels women.
You're learning.
Then Aragorn and I are no longer
needed here. Farewell.
For feeble sorcery can never defeat
my mighty dragon.
Hi, Aunt May.
We were just playing
Sorcery And Serpents.
It's as close as we ever want to get
to the real thing.
The real thing?
My clears,
you know all of that is just
What did you call it, Bobby?
Phoney baloney.
Did I say that? I guess I did.
Sorry, Blackie, wherever you are.
