Erik The Red gets banished from Iceland for three years, but only because he has a really terrible lawyer defending him at the Thing... and the fact that he's very guilty. Not to worry, he discovers a new land. It's colder than Iceland, but if he can think of a great name for the country lots of poor farmers are bound to emigrate there. What Erik needs is a name that suggests the place is lovely and green...

Script sample:
NARRATOR 1: Finally, Erik and Hilda got married and moved into a brand new farm in Hawksdale. But, they had to leave soon afterwards because of a small disagreement the with neighbours.
(Enter HILDA from right.)
HILDA: Actually, it was a little bit more like a deadly feud, which began after two of Erik's thralls deliberately started a landslide above next-door's longhouse. Then it escalated and Erik killed the neighbours. Anyway, Vikings will be Vikings; but, Erik promises not to loose his temper ever again and get banished.
NARRATOR 2: Each morning, Hilda repeated the same words to Erik before he left the farm house...
HILDA: Now, whatever, you do, don't get angry. Remember do-not-get-angry. Never, never, not even a tiny bit.
NARRATOR 1: And, Erik always replied...
(Enter ERIK THE RED.)
ERIK THE RED: Oh, come on, Hilda. There's no need to repeat the same thing day after day: I don't have the memory span of a goldfish you know. (Pause; confused.) What was I saying?
