KING: You wonder how the tax is spent.
You've no right to grumble, or wink -
It doesn't go on the Queen's new wink.
We're using it for defence.
We're safe now, whatever happens,
We have developed secret weapons.
New armor without a chink,
A boat that nothing can sink,
For messages, invisible ink.
(triumphantly) To say nothing of an arrow-proof portcullis (The PEOPLE gasp)
SCENE: Laboratory. Scientists at work: weird machines, jerky movements. The already sympathetic people have a sight of this, are inspired, and go off in a military step. The KING RELAXES back in the palace: MESSENGER enters. KING takes the message languidly; reads it; jumps to his feet; collapses, and groans:
KING: This means war!
GRAND BALLET: Recruiting; spiv, inn-keeper, &c. drop their individualistic occupations and do a unified puppet like dance. Sergeant-major's voice used rhythmically. SCIENTISTS fit out the soldiers with odd armor, winged arrows &c. Machines of war. Cuts of maps criss-crossed with Klee-like patterns of arrows, spearheads, lines of defence &c.
Scenes of the war itself: ballet purely, no words.
Fade to the Palace where the KING (tin hat and binoculars on a strap added to his royal clothes) receives MESSENGER. He reads the dispatches, takes off his tin hat, puts on his crown.
KING (into microphone): His Majesty of Nosdar graciously consents to meet Our Regal enemy to talk of Peace.
Kinf walks to one side to PEACE VILLAGE, as an improvised notice calls it. The other KING is waiting. Two soldiers with MP bands on their arms guard the place. Both KINGS sit at table with maps, books, &c.
OTHER KING: Let's try to end the war at last.
We are getting nowhere but fast.
KING OF NOSDAR: We'll put our cards on the table,
If your Royal Highness is able.
OTHER KING: Let's leave out words like aggression
And study to mend -
KING OF NOSDAR: - your Transgression.
OTHER KING: Please!
