- Narrator: The legend of Jack the Giant Killer was born over a thousand years ago in Cornwall, England near Land's End. There was a time when the Kingdom of Cornwall lived in fear and trembling of the Black Prince Pendragon - master of witches, giants and hobgoblins - who ravished the land. But at long last Herla, the Wizard drove Pendragon and his witches from the kingdom and exiled them beyond the reaches of the known world... Here on a misty isle, uncharted and unknown, Pendragon schemed and waited for the day when he could return to power in Cornwall. Then, after many years, the day came. It was a day of great rejoicing in Cornwall... and kings and princes bearing gifts came to celebrate in special occasion.
- Pendragon: A pity to shatter your innocent dreams, Princess Elaine, but the throne of Cornwall is to be mine and only you can give it to me.
- [after he has just killed the giant]
- Jack: Are you all right?
- Princess Elaine: You've done it. You've killed him.
- Jack: It was nothing. I kill a giant every morning before breakfast. Starts my day right.
- Garna: Master! Master! Master Pendragon!
- Pendragon: What happened?
- Garna: Calamity, O Prince. Most faithful disaster.
- Pendragon: The princess, where is she?
- Garna: Cormoran is dead, slain by a young farmer. By now, the princess is back in her father's castle.
- Pendragon: Impossible, you're lying!
- Garna: I tell the truth, master, I swear it. He took her from me at the boat, and then kill the giant. I saw him with my own eyes.
- Pendragon: Blundering fool! A fury take you to your torments, all of you!
- [his hands pushes Garna's face]
- Pendragon: I scheme a thousand nights, put the princess in your very hands and you, imbecile, idiot, allow a mere farmer, a mere mortal to defy me!
- Garna: We have failed, master, we have failed.
- Pendragon: But only for a moment. I shall have the princess and the farmer shall die. By all the powers of darkness, he shall die!
- [Jack is swarmed by well-wishers after being rewarded with a knighthood]
- Princess Elaine: It's so hot in here. Would you mind escorting me to the terrace?
- Jack: Thank you for rescuing me.
- Princess Elaine: You saved my life, remember?
- Herald: Hail to Sir Jack! Jack the Giant Killer!
- The Crowd: Hail to Sir Jack! Hail to Sir Jack!
- Princess Elaine: I think my rescuer has acquired a new name.
- [Jack studies the huge medal King Mark gave to him]
- Jack: I seem to have acquired more than a new name. It is a great honor. I hope I can be worthy of it.
- Princess Elaine: That's my father's way of saying thank you. This is mine.
- [Princess Elaine kisses Jack]
- Jack: I shall immediately go out and find another giant to slay.
- Princess Elaine: Before breakfast?
- Sailor in Crow's Nest: Captain, look aloft! Witches! Witches!
- Pendragon: Oh Isis, keeper of the magic flame, behold thy shrouded minions, demons of the dark, assembled to prepare before the altar of thy eternal flame a neophyte to serve thee in thy mystic labyrinth.
- Pendragon: You have one choice to make, King Mark: Your daughter or your throne. In a week, I shall return for your answer.
- King Mark: You hold my daughter, witch. But, we held you!
- [to his guards]
- King Mark: Seize him!
- [Pendragon uses the cloak and making him vanished]
- Pendragon: One week, King Mark. No more.
- [cackling]
- Pendragon: Welcome to Castle Pendragon.
- Jack: I had a sample of your welcome outside.
- Pendragon: I must compliment you on your valor, young man. First you vanquish Cormoran, my giant, then you found your way to this island - a feat in itself. Just now you lashed out and destroyed my dragon men with your magic whip - a stroke of genius! A real tragedy to have come so far only to suffer failure.
- Pendragon: If you take one step towards me, horns will sprout from your head. A second step and you will develop cloven hooves and walk on all fours. A third step and the transformation will be complete - you will have become a black ram. So, you see...
- Imp: Your sword can be an antidote to growing a cashmere coat. Hold it before you as you go, hilt above and point below.
- Imp: For you, Elaine, some sound advice. Opportunity knocks, but never twice. So if it's happiness you'd woo, marry Jack, he's the lad for you.
- Princess Elaine: I had intend to.
- Boatswain: This voyage is accursed.
- Sailor: It's the work of the devil.
- Boatswain: It's the devil himself.
- Scottish Captain: Devil or witch, or whatever you are, you may have the wind on me now, but you'll not scuttle my ship!
- Pendragon: I'm afraid you were not sufficiently impressed on your first visit. I'll give you a new demonstration of my powers.
- [Pendragon sees that the bag is empty, because a bottle of Imp is vanished]
- Pendragon: Your Imp stands between me and the throne of Cornwall... Where is it?
- Jack: You have great magic powers, find him yourself.
- Pendragon: Yes. I will.
- [slaps him with a bag]
- Pendragon: Only twice in my existence I have been thwarted, once by Herla the wizard, and this second time by you. Herla is dead.
- Jack: Yes, and I will die too, rather than betray my king.
- Pendragon: I shall hope to make you change your mind.
- [a black bird arriving in Pendragon's castle. Garna is holding a black bird named Gaunt, running to Pendragon and the witches]
- Garna: Master! Black Prince! Look, it has come from the castle!
- Pendragon: So, you decided to visit us, eh, Gaunt? Bringing a little present.
- [He unrolls the paper and sees the message about sailing]
- Pendragon: She sails with the morning tide.
- [turns to Tubo]
- Pendragon: What kind of a voyage is it to be, eh, Tubo? Smooth and tranquil?
- [Tubo and the witches laughing]
