Time Is of the Essence - Cast of Galavant, Reece Shearsmith

Time is of the essence

So I need your acquiescence

If we’re going to save this fellow from the grave

What?

Let me finish

Time is of the essence we have minutes

Maybe less, since as you see

There’s not much left of him to save

No!

Yes, indeed

He hasn’t got an awful lot of life left in his eyes

But if, in fact, we quickly act we might stop his demise, so, guys

Time is of the essence or he dies

Ahh.

That’s what I needed.

Moving on, then

Time is of the essence

See his natural effervescence

Is succumbing to the shadow of disease

But he just —

What I mean is time is of the essence

Take a whiff of that putrescence

I’m detecting notes of dill, and is that cheese?

Either way, I give him half an hour

That’s my educated guess

Well, 20 minutes, tops

Let’s call it 10, the man’s a mess so, yes

Time is of the essence

Wait, unless

No, it’s of the essence, but

But?

Perhaps we ought to pause right here to say silent mass

Right

Go ahead and savor it

We might as well, alas

Richard: What the hell are you —

Wait, I have some gas

Shh, let me finish

Time is of the essence

If you’ve got antidepressants, take ‘em now

Your friend is on the verge of death

No!

Let’s rephrase it, time is of the essence

And there’s not much point in rhyming now

Because frankly he’s about to bite the —

Richard: Crescents!

Excellent

We did all that we could for him

But look how much he bled

We still might do some good for him if we don’t let it spread

I said time is of the essence, keep your head

Time is of the essence, or he’s

Dead… dead…dead

Not dead?

Is he?

Shh!

Time is of the essence or he’s…

Sorry, if only you’d gotten here sooner
