Guard : Dunstan Thorn, not again.
Tristan : It's Tristan, actually.
Guard : Oh. You do look a bit like your father. And I suppose you intend to cross the wall as well, do you? Well, you can forget it, go home!
Tristan : Cross the wall as well as who?
Guard : No one. Nobody.
[Tristan walks to cross the wall]
Guard : Nobody crosses the wall! You know that. Everybody knows that.
Tristan : You know, I know. I understand. Nobody. Well I better head for the old homestead, then.
Guard : Good night, then. Good night, Tristan.
Tristan : Good night.
[Tristan begins to walk away]
Guard : Give my best to your father.
[Tristan turns around and runs to cross the wall like Dunstan had done but the guard stops him and begins to hit him with his wooden cudgel. Tristan ends up on the ground]
Guard : Off you go.

Guard : [at the wall] I'm charged with guarding the portal to another world, and you're asking me to just let you through!
Young Dunstan Thorn : Yes. Because, let's be honest, it's a field. Look,
[the guard points to the field at the other side of the wall]
Young Dunstan Thorn : Do you see another world out there? No, you see a field. Do you see anything non-human? No. And you know why? Because it's a field!
Guard : Hundreds of years this wall's been here. Hundreds of years this gap's been under a twenty-four-hour guard.
Young Dunstan Thorn : Well...
[the guard interrupts him]
Guard : One more word, and I'll have you up in front of the village council!
Young Dunstan Thorn : Well that... that sounds rather final... I suppose I'd better just go home then...
Guard : Right then. Night, Dunstan.
[Dunstan begins to walk away]
Guard : Give my best to your father.
[Suddenly Dunstan turns around and runs and crosses the wall]
Guard : Stop! Stop!
[Dunstan keeps running]
