[THE BIG LEBOWSKIs castle. Enter THE KNAVE and BRANDT]
BRANDT
My lord is a man of accomplishment of many years, good traveling Knave; I pray you examine these honours and colours, proof of life well-lived. See here, the key to an old city, once defended against man and beast; and there, a commendation for men of business, bestowed not by the twelvemonth but by the mettle of the man.
THE KNAVE
Is that the Queen I see before me, renderd in oil-paints?
BRANDT
Indeed that is Sir Geoffrey of Lebowski, attending the Queen in humble fealty, during her blessèd reign; as Queen, I remind you, not as Princess.
THE KNAVE
Faith, an excellent tale.
BRANDT
I have not yet told all; indeed Sir Lebowski did counsel the King himself, it is said, though, alas!, uncaptured in timely artistry.
THE KNAVE
A man of many faculties.
BRANDT
As many as capabilities, yet always one to boost his reach. Here you may glimpse a record of his children.
THE KNAVE
A care-crazed father of a many children; it is a wise father that knows his own child. An excellent list for a man of no doubt excellent issue.
BRANDT
An amiable jest! Nay, Id calld his children his, but they come not of his loins, thou understandst.
THE KNAVE
A cuckold, he?
BRANDT
A most subtle jest! Nay, but children of the inner city, of good promise, resolved to study but without the means. My lord resolves that they will all attend the university.
THE KNAVE
Verily!Mine own years in the university hath fled my memory, though I recall some happy hours in the homes of various headmasters, the smoking of the pipe, breaking into the armory, and playing at ninepins.
[Enter LEBOWSKI, on a cart. Exit BRANDT]
LEBOWSKI
Marry, sir!You be Lebowski, I be Lebowski, tis a wondrous strange comedy of errors. But I am a man of business, as I imagine you are; tell me what youd have me do for you.
THE KNAVE
Sir, I possess a rug, that, ifaith, tied the room together
LEBOWSKI
You sent Brandt a messenger on horseback; he informd me. Where is my fitting?
THE KNAVE
They sought thee, these two gentlemen
LEBOWSKI
I shall repeat; you sent Brandt a messenger on horseback; he informd me. Where is my fitting?
THE KNAVE
Then thou art aware twas thy rug, sir, that was the target of this crime.
LEBOWSKI
Was it I, sir, who urinated on your rug?
THE KNAVE
Not in person, sirbut if a man is his name, and his reputation his indelible inkstain, surely thy sea of care is tormented; what tongue shall smooth thy name?
LEBOWSKI
Make me to understand, sir, for you are slow of speech as I of step, and I am unsatisfied in motive. When any rug is micturated upon within these city walls, must I stand accountable? Or are you as one of a thousand rogues, fishing for sixpence betwixt another mans pursestrings? Are you a labourer, Master Lebowski, earning that you eat, getting that you wear?
THE KNAVE
Let me not to the marriage of false impressions deny impediments. I am not Master Lebowski; thou art Master Lebowski. I am the Knave, called the Knave. Or His Knaveness, or mayhap Knaver, or mayhap El Knaverino, in the manner of the Spaniard, if brevity be not in thy soul nor wit. A Knave by any other name would abide just as well.
LEBOWSKI
Have you employment, sir? Surely you hope not to pledge fealty nor till the earth in such roughly fashioned armour, invested in thy motley, clad as a jack-a-dandy on a Sunday?
THE KNAVE
I know not; what week-day, friends, is this?
LEBOWSKI
I tire, and cannot tarry; I am more busy than the labouring spider, and dwell on the iron tread as a man of constant pursuits. Thus, I pray you, you this way and I that way.
THE KNAVE
I must protest; the Knave minds. This will not stand, this uncheckd aggression; for your strength of mighty kings and masters of the earth did not keep your wife from owing, a borrower and a lender being.
LEBOWSKI
My wife is not the issue here. I toil in hopes that she will shed her frivolities, rash and unadvised, and live within her allowance, which is in very ample virtue. Her mortal failures are her burden, as surely as your rug is your burden, and, verily, the burdens of every man be his own, and tis in themselves that they be thus or thus. Ill blame none for the loss of my legs. Some man of Orient birth robbed them from me as spoils of war; faith, who stole my legs stole trash, and I sallied forth and achieved in any aspect. Some are born achievers, some achieve greatly, and some have achievement thrust upon em. Beseech me not!
THE KNAVE
Ah, a pox upont!
LEBOWSKI
Indeed! A pox upont! Tis your answer to everything. Your merry revels have ended, sir. Condolences. The rogues lost; the rogues have always lost, will always lose, and so it will be tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.
[Exit LEBOWSKI; enter BRANDT]
BRANDT
Good Master Lebowski. Did you enjoy meeting my honourable lord?
THE KNAVE
Truly, sir, a gentle marvelous;
He bade me take any rug in the house.
I Dont Know What the fuss is all about. I just logged in less than 5 min ago and am finishing my klingon mission i was on when servers went down. If everybody wasn't crying about TRIBBLE here on the forums you would already be in game..............................
HaHa now to see how many jumped at trying to log in. wonder if the STO server can handle the load of so many tools trying to scramble to log in. (ooops did i say that out loud)
You are aware that Nemesis lifted several weighty chunks of plot synopsis from Wrath of Khan I take?
Pretty obvious what they were aiming at with Data/B4. In the Star Trek prequel graphic novel, Data is alive and well and in charge of the Enterprise.
I'm afraid I wasn't a fan of TOS or the TOS movies, so I never watched them. I'm unfamiliar with the Wrath of Khan storyline.
Which graphic novel is this? Is it claiming that because of Data's memories being put into B4 that B4 becomes Data? I'd be interested in reading how they pull that one off, as it would go against the android canon (i.e. Lul and Data's story.)
Enough of this. I'm taking a nap. It's clear to me that there is a major problem at Cryptic and they may not even know what the problem is, judging from the tone of the dev posts.
I should have known not to get my hopes up for headstart. The game isn't ready for release. That's all there is to it. I'll see you all in page 1,200.
Comments
No. I'm Spartacus. And so's my wife!
Nope, right there with ya. We're all waiting.
