Ferryman
- Ferryman: I dare not think it possible you found the answer, but then you did come back... No one has ever come back.
- Lucky: I have come back and I have the answer: the next passenger you have, give him your oar. Then your lot will be his, his freedom yours.
- Ferryman: So simple...
- [fights back tears]
- Ferryman: so simple.
- The Storyteller: And for the first time in years, centuries, hope fires the ferryman. A smile is forming in his mind, a tiny smile growing, getting ready to be born...
- King: Come on, come on, come on, can't we go any faster?
- Ferryman: Oh, yes, sir, there is a way...
- [gestures for the king to take over the ore]
- The Storyteller: Take it, he says, take it, take it... So if you come one day to a lake and there's an island and a ferry goes back and forth rowed by an old sad man, turn around. Griffins live there, you may never get off the boat. For the ferryman was once a wicked king who ignored a prophesy, whose heart was cruel. And nature, my dears, is a wize woman who pays us back, tit for tat.
