Jack rides up to a castle with crutchy banging the coconuts behind him.

Jack stops alittle before the caslte.

"Whoa there! "

Crutchy stops as if jack is woaing a real horse.

Blink looks down at them adjusting his armour suit so he can lean over to get a better look.  He sets his sword aside.

"Halt! Who goes there?"

Jack shields his eyes so he can see the soldier against the sun.

"It is I, Jack, son of a man I don't know, from the castle of Manhatton. King of the Manhattons, defeater of the Queens, Sovereign of all New York!

Blink frowns eyeing Jack.

"Bull, What about the other one!"

Jack looks at crutchy then back at Blink.

"I am,... and this is my trusty servant Crutchy.

We have ridden the length and breadth of the land in search of Newsie Knights who will join me in my court at Manhatton. I must speak with your lord and master."

Blink looks at him like he's crazy, taking in crutchy and the coconuts.

"What? Ridden on a horse?"

Jack nods.

"Yes!"

Blink shakes his head at him in disbelief.  Was this guy nuts or what.  He thought.

"You're using coconuts!"

Jack frowns at him.

"What?"

Blink nods and points at crutchy.

"You've got two empty halves of coconut and you're bangin' 'em together."

Jack shrugs looking at crutchy then turns back to Blink.

"So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land, through the kingdom of Queens, through—"

Blink cuts him off as if jack had never spoken.

"Where'd you get the coconuts?"

Jack raises a brow at him taken aback by the way he was talking to him.  He was king after all.

"We found them."

Blink shakes his head in disbelief again.

"Found them? In Queens? The coconut's tropical!"

Jack is now confused.  This guy has serious problems and he was getting sick of his deterring him from what he came to do.

"What do you mean?"

Blink gives him a look like *are you for real.

"Well, this is a temperate zone."

Jack is now very annoyed and says logically explains in an annoyed voice.

"The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land?"

Blinks eyes widen.   

"Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?"

 Jack shakes his head.

"Not at all. They could be carried."

Blink scoffs.

"What? A swallow carrying a coconut? "

Jack nods and answers logically again.

"It could grip it by the husk!"

Blink grins knowingly and shakes his head.

"It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut."

Jack, not knowing what to say to that tries to get back to the original task at hand.

"Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here?"

Blink wouldn't let him get off so easy.

"Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?"

Jack was getting irate now.

"Please!"

Blink ignores him.

"Am I right?"

Jack stomps his foot.

"I'm not interested!"

Mush hearing what is going on pops out from behind the castle brick.  

"It could be carried by an African swallow!"

Blink nods realizing how right Must was.

 "Oh, yeah, an African swallow maybe, but not a European swallow. That's my point."

Mush grins glad he could help.

"Oh, yeah, I agree with that."

Jack Frowns and tries again to get back to what he came to do.

"Will you ask your master if he wants to join my court at Manhattan?!"

Blink not listening to Jack continues with Much trying to figure out the science of swallows and migrating coconuts.

"But then of course a-- African swallows are non-migratory."

Mush nods.

"Oh, yeah."

Blink nods figuring part of it out.

"So, they couldn't bring a coconut back anyway."

 Jack frowns and turns around and heads off crutchy behind him clopping away with the coconuts.

 An Idea hits Mush.

"Wait a minute! Supposing two swallows carried it together?"

Blink not realizing they had lost their audience continues to argue with Mush.

"No, they'd have to have it on a line."

Mush nods going with that idea.

"Well, simple! They'd just use a strand of creeper!"

Blink shakes his head not seeing this as possible.

"What, held under the dorsal guiding feathers?"

Mush frowns.

"Well, why not?"
