Cam Clarke: Puck

Quotes 

• [Guts finishes off the bandits and saves both Casca and Rita] 

  Rita : Well I'll be...

  [Guts walks up to Casca and helps her up] 

  Old Man : Oh, thank you, brave swordsman! You saved our lives.

  [Guts ignores him and starts to walk off with Casca, until Puck comes riding in on Iruku] 

  Puck : Yippeee!

  [gets bucked off by Iruku, then starts flying up to Guts] 

  Puck : Whoo Hee! Listen, big man, if someone is thanking you, the least you can do is listen! And while you're at it, we need food and some money! Some fine wine will do nicely for me.

  Rita : What the heck is that? A bug?

  Puck : [flies over to Rita]  How rude, girlie! I'm not a bug. I'm an elf! An elf dammit! Haven't you seen an elf? I'm the adorable Puck.

  Rita : No... I've never seen one.

  Puck : Who are you?

  Rita : My name is... Rita. I'm a travelling performer.

  Puck : [introducing Guts]  This mean-looking guy is Guts. He's my buddy and carries my house... you could say that.

  [introducing Cascas] 

  Puck : And that's our Casca.

  Rita : [approaches Guts]  Are you mercenaries? If so, you're strange ones. Travelling around with a woman in her state.

  [Guts growls] 

  Rita : I am sorry. I meant no offense. Now don't be mad. I'm in the same position as you after all.

  Puck : Huh?

  Old Man : [fixing the wagon]  Finally! I've got the wagon mended. We're off! Come on!

  Rita : OK, Pops!

  [to Guts, Casca, and Puck] 

  Rita : Umm er I, I mean... we, we're going to give a performance in the next town. Why don't you come and watch? There's just one road to town and you can't miss it.

  Old Man : Hey! What's keeping you, girl?

  Rita : [exasperated]  Coming!

  [to Guts, Casca, and Puck] 

  Rita : And, I mean, uh... Thanks for saving us. See ya!

  [climbs on board the wagon] 

  Old Man : OK. Hahhh!

  [Rita, Job, and the old man ride off] 

  Puck : [sitting on Guts' shoulder]  A performer, eh. I kinda like her!

  Guts : [notices Casca about to wander off]  Hey, Casca! Where are you going?

  Casca : Yaashhhh...

  Puck : She probably wants to see that show. The town's right over there. Why don't you take her?

  Guts : Forget it, Puck. I don't have time to waste on something like that.

  Puck : But even YOU need to take a break once in a while. All work and no play will make you a grump!

  Casca : Ooooh...

  [slight giggle] 

  Puck : [sing-song while flying around Guts]  C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, we wanna go! We both wanna go! Please please please! Oh please, come on, let us go! Let's live a little! C'mon, Guts! Please!

  Guts : [swats Puck away]  Sure, whatever. We need to get food anyway... I'm starving!

  Puck : Yeah! Hear that, Casca? Yippee! He said we're going! Whoo Hoo!

  Guts : [pondering]  Hmm... I only got a glance, but I'm sure... That guy in the wagon...

• [Guts, Casca, and Puck arrive in town and see Rita performing] 

  Puck : [noticing Rita]  There she is! Hey look, guys!

  Rita : Ready, Iruku? Jump!

  [Iruku jumps as the crowd cheer, then Rita runs, does some backflips, and shoots knives at a barrel held by Job before taking a bow] 

  Rita : Ta-dah! And now, here comes our main event! The strongman... Job!

  [Job moans and starts swinging a club around] 

  Guts : [slightly excited]  That's the guy!

  [Job falls down with his hood coming off, revealing an inhuman growth on his chest, frightening the villagers] 

  Villager No. 1 : [scared]  He-he's possessed by the Mandragora!

  Villager No. 2 : Damn monster!

  Puck : [confused]  The Mandra... what?

  Villager No. 2 : Get the hell out of our town!

  [the villagers start throwing rocks at Job] 

  Rita : [tackling one of the villagers]  No! Stop it, you fools!

  [Puck looks on with a worried grunt] 

  Rita : What has he ever done to you people?

  Villager No. 1 : Oh the hell with you! We're not gonna let a Mandragora zombie go free!

  [a scared and sad Job stands up, growls, transforms into a huge beast, and starts attacking villagers] 

  Puck : [hiding behind Guts]  Oh my God! What is that thing?

  Rita : Job! No...

  Villager No. 2 : Good Lord...!

  [the villagers scream and run] 

  Rita : Stop it, Job! Settle down... Nooooo!

  Guts : [unsheathing his sword]  Stop!

• [Guts has killed Job] 

  Villager No. 1 : [laughing]  You got what you deserved!

  [disgusted] 

  Villager No. 1 : You Mandragora freak!

  [kick's Job's corpse] 

  Villager No. 2 : It's disgusting! I'm glad it's dead!

  Rita : [crying]  You murderers! You'll pay!

  Villager No. 2 : [slaps Rita]  Shut up, stupid girl!

  [Rita who notices Guts, Casca, and Puck walking away] 

  Rita : Damn you!

  [throws a knife at them, only for Guts to catch it with two fingers] 

  Rita : He didn't do anything wrong. You didn't have to kill him!

  Guts : I don't feel any mercy for monsters.

  Rita : [sobbing]  You're wrong! He wasn't a monster!

  [a carriage shows up, and out climbs Balzac and Gyove] 

  Gyove : Everyone stand back! Baron Balzac is here for an inspection! Do not touch the body!

  Balzac : [examines Job's body, then looks at Guts]  These huge sword wounds... Was it you? Did you do this?

  Guts : Yeah...

  Balzac : I'm Balzac, ruler of this town. Sir, I must thank you. Unfortunately, once people with this disease run amok, they rampage until they die.

  Guts : Disease?

  Balzac : It started some years ago in a nearby town. No-one has found a cure for it yet.

  [notices Casca, who grabs Puck] 

  Balzac : That woman... Is she also possessed by the Mandragora?

  Guts : [angry]  No... She's got nothing to do with that thing.

  Balzac : Perhaps... Still I perceive that her mind is not sound. Hmm, listen. I believe our doctors might be able to help her.

  Guts : What do you mean?

  Balzac : We are researching cures for the Mandragora possession.

  Guts : Mandragora?

  Balzac : The symptoms appear the same, so perhaps we can help her. Also, we must repay you for your aid. Come to my castle, and bring the girl with you.

  [Guts turns to look at Casca, then back to Balzac] 

  Casca : [hugging Puck]  Ahh...

  Guts : Fine. Show us the way.

  Balzac : Excellent... Then it's decided. You shall be guests in my castle.

  [sneering, to one of his knights] 

  Balzac : Take care of the other one.

  Knight No. 1 : Understood, my lord!

  [Everyone proceeds to board Balzac's wagon] 

  Gyove : [whispering]  Sir... Shall I proceed with the plan?

  Balzac : [whispering]  Yes.

  [Once everybody is aboard, the wagon takes off for Balzac's castle, as Guts look out the back window to see Rita mourning Job's death. Rita is then surrounded by two knights] 

  Rita : [scared]  Uh-oh...

• [Guts, Casca, and Puck have arrived at Balzac's castle] 

  Balzac : Now, before I welcome you both more formally, there is something I would like you to see.

  [Guts, Casca, and Puck start to follow Balzac until he turns around to look at them] 

  Balzac : [to Guts, slightly sinister]  No... It is too dangerous for them. I want YOU to come alone.

  Puck : Don't worry, Guts. I'll take good care of her.

  Guts : [starts to walk off, then stops]  If something happens, come get me.

  [Guts follows Balzac and Gyove down a stairway] 

  Casca : [starting to wander about]  Mmmm... ahh... Ooooh, ha ha ha!

  [long giggling] 

  Puck : [notices Casca wandering off and starts to follow her]  Uh-oh. Wait! Wait, Casca! Oh!

  [Casca and Puck stop to look at a large painting of a beautiful woman] 

  Puck : Wow! She's beautiful. Who could she be?

• [Casca is still wandering around Balzac's castle] 

  Puck : Casca, stop! You shouldn't be wandering all over!

  [notices Rita being dragged into the castle by Balzac's knights] 

  Puck : Huh?

  Rita : Let go of me! I didn't do anything!

  Knight No. 1 : [throwing Rita to the ground]  Shut up! You were a fool to come to this town with that monster! Now you will pay.

  Knight No. 2 : [notices Casca]  Who is that...!

  Puck : Oh no...

  Rita : Casca? Help!

  [one of the knights gets killed by arrows, as the other one turns around to see who it is] 

  Knight No. 1 : What... what's going on here!

  [gets shot by arrows] 

  Knight No. 1 : Aghh!

  [the resistance led by Dunteth enters the castle] 

• Balzac : There is a nun in the town who eats and sleeps with the Mandragorans. She fancies herself their protector. She and I have very different positions. And so far, she has turned down my requests for help. But perhaps she will listen to you...

  Guts : Sorry... I don't get along too well with holy people.

  Gyove : Pardon me for interrupting, my lord... But since the item we discussed is near completion, we really don't need his help. The results of our research so far should be enough to succeed.

  Balzac : [angry]  I'm sick of your opinions and time wasting. I won't wait any longer!

  Gyove : [shocked]  But-But, my lord...

  Guts : What's he talking about?

  [shouting can be heard upstairs, as a knight runs in to tell Balzac about the resistance] 

  Knight No. 3 : Sir! The enemy has breached the castle!

  Balzac : What the hell?

  Gyove : Impossible. How could that be!

  Balzac : We seem to have underestimated their strength. Pardon me. I must go attend this emergency.

  [Balzac and Gyove leave the laboratory] 

  Resistance Member No. 1 : Here he is! This one!

  Guts : Huh! What...
