SP: "EVERYTHING HERE BUT WATAH!"
Roland says to bring a bottle of something. Tom takes a bottle of champagne, knocks neck off of it and goes toward bed.
CLOSE UP BY BED—Roland still trying to bring King to. Tom enters with champagne. Roland takes it and souses it in King's face—King falls back on bed. Roland and Tom pull him up again to his feet. King licks champagne from his face with tongue. They punch, pummel and slap him and finally bring him to. Roland tells him about the revolution—that they must get out of the palace and hide. The King looks around and sees the various councilors. Finally realizes what is up—asks where the Revolutionists are.
136. FRONT OF PALACE. Two royal guards sleeping on ground. Enrico, General and soldiers march in. Royal guards are overpowered and Enrico, General and soldiers begin to bang on door.
137. KING'S BEDROOM IN PALACE. Roland tells him they are rushing on the Palace. The old King is scared blue—begins to shake and tremble. Roland asks him if he doesn't know some way to get out. Finally the old King comes to his senses enough to remember a trap door under the flagging of the floor. He takes Roland over to the place in the floor and points down there.
Roland and Tom look and see nothing but flagging. The old King keeps pointing and poking with his toe, says:
SP: "STAIRWAY UNDER THERE."
Finally Roland taps the flagging with his heel. Then he and Tom get down on their knees and try to pull up the stone. It won't come. They look up at the King. He says, yes, that's the place.
SP: "TUNNEL—LEADS TO EL JUGGO PRISON."
