BEAUDRICOURT. Well, what is it? What does she want? What is it you want, youinfernal nuisance? What’s this nonsensical story I hear-Joan collides head first with Beaudricourt’s great paunch. He is half winded, gives a yellof pain, grabs her by the arm and lifis her level with his nose, apoplectic with rage.What the devil do you want, you horrible mosquito? What the devil do you mean, playingthe fool outside my gates for three days on end? What the devil are these tales you’ve been tellingthe guards until their eyes pop out as far as their noses?JOAN (breathless with her running and poised on tip-toe in the arms of the giant). | want ahorse, my lord, a man’s clothes, and an escort, to go to Chinon to see his highness the Dauphin.BEAUDRICOURT. And my boot, you want that, too, of course?JOAN. If you like, my lord, and a good clout, as long as I get the horse as well.
Beat 1: Beaudricourt - to resolve the issue of Joan annoying his guards in order to restore status quo. He not only wants to do away with Joan, he also is very curious of why she has gone to all the trouble of bothering his guards for three days.
Joan - to gain an audience with Beaudricourt in order to obtain a horse, men's armor, and an escort to Chinon. Joan believes the sire is the only one who will grant her requests and give her the mount, supplies, and assistance she needs, because the Archangel told her he would.
CC: Trigger: Beaudricourt explains to Joan how most young girls get what they want from him.
Heap: Joan, in her innocence, does not realize what Beaudricourt is saying, and tells him she was sent by an angel.
