A pretty princess. An evil sorcerer. A hero for the ages.
Now...the fable of the ages is here for all to see!
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...::Diablotin: Your sword can be an antidote to growing a cashmere coat. Hold it 'fore you as you go, hilt above and point below.
[first lines]::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 ravaged 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.
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.
Chancellor: It's been years since the giants were banished. Why have they returned?
Garna: Leaving so soon, Princess? Why, your journey has just begun!
[Jack has just killed the giant]::Princess Elaine: You've done it! You've killed the giant!::Jack: It was nothing. I kill a giant every morning before breakfast. Starts my day right.
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 PLC is a multi-national operator of franchised motorcar dealerships in the United Kingdom with international outlets in the United States. This member of the Pendragon Group focuses on a variety of luxury cars marketed under the Stratstone name which include Porsche, Ferrari, and BMW. Other brands are marketed as Evans Halshaw which is the largest Vauxhall retailer in the UK. The company's registered office is at Annesley, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England.
The company is listed on the FTSE 250 index and once had Sir Nigel Rudd as company Chair.
Pendragon was formed on the 4 October 1989. For the year ended 31 December, 2006 across over 320 franchised dealerships, turnover was £5,101 million, while profits were £96.4 million before tax and £67.5 million after tax.
In 2000 Pendragon launched its U.S. market entry with the acquisition of Bauer Jaguar in Santa Ana California. At the time Bauer was the third largest Jaguar retailer in the country. Pendragon would then proceed to drive out a proven management team to be replaced by personnel from the U.K. who had absolutely no understanding of American automotive market operations. In January 2009 Pendragon would close Bauer and walk away from the last two years of their lease on the property. Pendragon would continue a disastrous legacy of overpaying for and micromanaging their U.S. dealerships resulting in extremely high turnover of dealership personnel and massive revenue loses. Eventually Pendragon would be forced to either sell or walk away from many of their U.S. based dealerships.[citation needed]
