The Court Jester Edit

A child, a child...

A child. Child. Oh! Lovely child, pretty little creature, isn't it?

A fox.

A group led by an elusive dashing outlaw known only as..

A handful of men could overthrow the castle in a matter of hours.

A handkerchief!

A jester? A jester? A funny idear a jester!

A king of jesters, and jester of kings!

A little closer...

A lover who would carry me away from this monstrous castle!

A marriage between Sir Griswold and the princess Gwendolyn.

A mere snap of my fingers can bring you out of the spell like this!

A message for the jester. From the king.

A royal birthmark on the royal posterior of a royal infant child.

A solution must be found ere we meet in council, tomorrow.

A stranger in this land, young woman, but not for long.

A sweet symbol of your love.

A toast to his most royal highness!

A toast! A toast!

A tribute to you, my dear Giacomo.

A true princess. Loyal to the crown.

A very rare man.

About your business, I would have a word with the maid.

Above all, remember you must be cavalier, dashing!

After all, I'm the incomparable Giacomo, king of jesters and jester of kings.

After months of pleading for just this kind of action,

Ah cha cha, you'll have to wait your turn like the others!

Ah my dear sir, Giacomo is a master of many many tongues indeed.

Ah very well indeed, sire.

Ah, be he king or peasant, my ready blade will find its mark!

Ah, beh, beh...

Ah, but my dear... Now there.

Ah, good evening! A thousand apologies for this uh intrusion,

Ah, I know... Griselda.

Ah, look at her!

Ah, maid Jean. Welcome. What brings you here at this hour?

Ah, my lords. I understand the marriage

Ah, Ravenhurst, the fellow has wit! Ah, I must say,

Ah, this will be a festive evening.

Ah.. Her heart, her hand, she holds for joy or grief,

Ah... it's not very likely, my good man, you see,

Ahh, Giacomo. A striking costume, indeed. From the Italian court, I presume.

All afternoon without a moment's peace!

All I heard was that the Duchess had a siege of rheumatism. She's 83, you know.

All right, all right, willo away, willo away.

All right, Sir Griswold, prepare to die!

Alliance with Griswold...

An intimate of the king, with access to his chambers.

And a beauty of a lover.

And a fit consort for the princess Gwendolyn the fair.

And above all, you must show passion!

And at the hands of Giacomo, knight of the realm,

And aunts. Let us not talk about their swollen, twisted, pain ridden bodies.

And back like that!

And by my side a lovely little wench,

And by the rules of chivalry, she must wed the victor!

And by whose hand? And who may be next?

And come to grips with the enemy.

And destroy forever this traitorous fiend who calls himself the Black Fox!

And die like that! Ehh!

And enter upon the field of honor,

And even now is being cared for by a group in the forest.

And fight in mortal combat until one of them lies dead.

And he will prove that his is a mission of love.

And I am faced with marriage to Griswold,

And I can assure you that like his royal ancestors,

And I demand,

And I do have feelings.

And I don't give a fig for yours!

And I hereby decree that you shall marry the Princess Gwendolyn.

And I offer myself to you, all of me.

And I promise you, daughter or not, princess or not,

And I proudly accept your terms.

And I say again, sire! Never, sire,

And I shall prove to you that this man who stands before us,

And I thought that the great Giacomo would have a knowledge of science.

And just in time. He comes not a moment too soon.

And knight that nincompoop by noon tomorrow!

And life couldn't possibly,

And lovers are not sent by the gods.

And me with the look of a fine undertaker impressed her...

And not only for one, but for two! What a prize!

And now, Ravenhurst, you rat catcher!

And on the same spot as his royal ancestors,

And protector of the crown!

And remember, any time I choose,

And remove the nails off your fingers with flaming hot pincers.

And replaced it with a flagon.

And shall be disposed of before another hour is past.

And so he shall! He comes, even now!

And so Jean and the precious wine cart,

And speak a ready wit in their every tongue.

And speak a ready wit in their every tongue. Uh who are you?

And still playing the fool.

And suppose I do not wish to marry Griswold?

And take this, a sweet symbol of mine.

And take your helmet!

And that voice shall be mine. Giacomo will see to that.

And the honorable exploits that you have done,

And the marriage and the alliance proceed.

And the marriage is approved.

And this demure maid his foul accomplice!

And this is my little granddaughter.

And this singing peacock will still the voices of Brockhurst,

And tunnels underneath the walls of the castle.

And vigor and valor and strength! Yea!

And want the alliance destroyed but that rabble in the forest?

And who are these little people?

And with no diversion, no attack!

And would gladly free these young men for more important chores, elsewhere.

And would join in our worthy cause.

And years from now when you go dreaming when you're very old,

And yet you, Ravenhurst, you of all my ministers...

And you, maid Jean, in the stands.

And you, to your place in the pavilion.

And you, too. Must we quarrel amongst ourselves?

Another, another...

Another?

Approach, Sir Griswold.

Are they married?

Are you all right, Hawkins?

Are you alone, my dear? I thought I heard voices.

Are you now prepared to fulfill the bargain arranged by my agent,

Are you sure that no one in the castle has ever seen your face?

Are you sure we haven't met before?

Are you sure you can dispose of my lords Brockhurst, Finsdale, and Pertwee?

Are you there? I would have words with you?

Arise, Sir Giacomo.

Arm him. I must raise the gate!

Arrange for the wedding directly after the tournament.

As a fitting climax to a glorious day.

As a jester?

As a matter of fact I have a great deal of scientific knowledge.

As always as is the part of a good and faithful subject,

As to have permitted that child to live?

As you said, flowers for the widows.

Ask the girl if she's seen a group in the forest!

Ask the girl if she's seen a group in the forest.

Ask the... Ask the girl if she's seen a group in the forest.

At once! Wait! Not like that!

At the moment, I have a very important mission with the king.

At this very moment, my dear Ravenhurst,

At w once.

At your service, m'lord!

At your service, my lady.

Aye, alliance, and quickly! He arrives tomorrow for the great tournament.

Aye, an alliance with our good friend Griswold of the North!

Aye, sire.

B but I!

Be brave, sweet Giacomo.

Be sensible. Sensible!

Be!

Beat me. Kick me.

Because sire, disguised as a member of their group, I saw him.

Because they'd put you on the rack, crack your every bone, scald you with hot oil,

Because you are a princess.

Before I marry Griswold, I will die, and so will you. Drink!

Before midnight, if he fulfills his bargain.

Begging your pardon. Until tonight, my sweet.

Beh, basket? What basket, sire?

Believe me, sire, this is nonsense.

Between Sir Griswold of Mackalwane, and Gwendolyn the Fair.

Between the crown and our honored and valiant Baron,

Beware of the drinks. One of them is poisoned.

Bid Sir Griswold enter!

Both. Look at them both.

Breckenridge's scourge.

Brew that is tru

Brilliant.

Bring her to my chambers. Within the hour?

Bring in the fairest wenches in the land.

Brockhurst here says alliance with Griswold,

Brockhurst, Finsdale, Pertwee.

Brockhurst, Finsdale, Pertwee...

Brockhurst!

Brute or not, lout or not, if I so decide, you'll marry Griswold.

But do I say welcome or do I say mehh!

But first let me hear you pronounce sentence on this unholy pair.

But food and weapons are limited so you see, uh...

But for the moment there are other matters...

But have you heard the change of plan? Here, take this.

But he and his despicable accomplice, have the shameful effrontery,

But he who holds her hand holds her heart kerchief.

But he's under the spell of the...

But how will they know you?

But how? I don't...

But I didn't even shoot the arrow! The arrow...

But I didn't even shoot...

But I don't understand,

But I fell asleep... I don't quite remember what I...

But I have entertained in all the courts of Europe,

But I would not deign to soil my blade with his miserable common blood!

But I...

But I'm proud to recall that in no time at all with no other recourses

But if he's not Giacomo, who could he be, and what does he want?

But it's locked at both ends and the key is in the king's possession.

But let us not spoil this moment, sire! Hold me, hold me close!

But madam!

But may I beg shelter and warmth from this miserable storm?

But my own resources with firm application and determination...

But of course, a fox! A Black Fox!

But one doesn't find love in one moment, one kiss..

But sire, custom...

But the Fox is a commoner and cannot fight in tournament.

But the jester cannot fight in tournament! He's a commoner.

But the jester hasn't arrived, yet.

But the simplest plans so often go a miss.

But there's no hurry. We can't start until the jester's been made ready.

But this is the king's command.

But this time for the last time,

But this, this uh writhing on the floor...

But uneasy lies Roderick's crown, for rumor hath it that an infant,

But weapons are limited and...

But where could I learn any comical turn that was not in a book on the shelf?

But why did you bring them here?

But will sever this lovely little head,

But you don't think that...

But you don't want the vessel with the pestle,

But you heard what my father said.

But you must! He'd kill any man found in my chambers.

But you stay away from her!

But your majesty, knighthood is an arduous ritual!

By a massacre of the entire royal family.

By order of his sovereign lord highness, King Roderick the First,

By order of his sovereign majesty,

By reputation the gayest and wittiest entertainer in Europe.

By whatever means you may devise.

Bye Hawkins!

Can it be cleared? Impossible!

Can this be true? Or is it merely a dream?

Can you ever forgive me?

Candidate passes!

Catching?

Charge!

Charge!

Charming. Charming, Giacomo, charming.

Chicken gizzards soaked in brine,

Child, the... No, no, here child,

Child... er...

Climb the vine to the tower where your love awaits you! Stop!

Closer, closer. Deeper,

Come along there, wench!

Come along, Sir Giacomo. His majesty is waiting.

Come along, there, men! All of you!

Come back here! What have you there?

Come down old man, we would talk to you. You too, wench.

Come here, come here, boy, come here.

Come here, my child. Come.

Come here!

Come quickly, man! The king is waiting!

Come, boy, come, show me what you have in the basket.

Come, come, Giacomo, let us be gay! I would have a song.

Come, Hawkins. Yes, captain.

Come, men.

Conceal the child! Quickly!

Concern for you, sire. Mm?

Concerning the defense and security of our great kingdom,

Considering the virtuous fidelity you have shown,

Could the captain ever entertain thoughts of marriage with such a man?

Could the captain...

Could you have been so incompetent, bungled so horribly,

Cover your head! Now get in there!

Curious. I... I... hm? What? What's that?

Custom be hanged! Fetch him and run him through!

Cut them down!

Dead. Murdered.

Dear Hawkins.

Deeper. Deeper, deeper.

Defender of the soil, protector of the crown,

Defender of the soil, protector of the crown...

Devious, and subtle master of the art of assassination.

Did he talk?

Did I tell you? What plan now?

Did it go like this?

Did you expect less?

Did you get the key? Yes, here it is.

Did you put the pellet with the poison in the vessel with the pestle?

Dire news, sire! I've just come from the forest. The child lives!

Do be cautious, sweet Giacomo!

Do what you will.. my love endures.

Do you have some sort of twitch?

Do you have some sort of twitch?

Do you think I could make alliance?

Does the king know? I mean does the king know about your being the real Ravenhurst?

Don't I please you, sire?

Don't just stand there, man! Make haste!

Don't snap at me! I will snap!

Don't stand there gaping!

Don't you realize that without this alliance, our prestige,

Don't you see? The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle.

Don't you think it look better if a woman were...

Don't you think it really would, look better

Dream? Is this a dream?

Dressed as an old man, riding out of the forest,

Drink! A brew of your own concocting.

Drink! You lie.

Duchess with her dirk? Yes!

Each day, some new insurrection. Who is this Black Fox?

Each time I see you as a woman, sir,

Ease the burdens of state.

Eh beh basket? Oh, b sire, it's nothing, sire.

Eh handkerchief, eh hand kerheart,

Eh s science. Well, yes,

Eh... I I'm Th th this is a little mistake, sire.

Eh... th the terms! the terms!

Eh... the pellet with the poison is in the pasley with the chazzle.

Ehh, a welcome, Sir Griswold, your beard is full of hair,

Ehh, a welcome, Sir Griswold, your beard is full of hair,

Enough of this!

Enough!

Ere another sun has set,

Every command...

Excellent, excellent! Members of the court,

Excellent! Excellent!

Excuse me, dear, I'm feeling rather poorly.

Expose him! You'll get all the credit!

Eye?

Face to face and steel to steel. Fist to fist, sir.

Fantastic!

Faster. Faster. Faster.

Father, I say Ravenhurst lies.

Father, let me have it...

Fear not, m'lady, your lover will be here, in this room, within the hour.

Fear not, master!

Fear not, master!

Fergus is dead.

Fergus the Ostler. It is I, not Ravenhurst who is your friend.

Fetch the jester and run him through the ritual as quickly as possible.

Filling my head with fairy stories of a romantic lover.

Fine, thank you. No! No, no. WHO?

Finish with the king and come to my chambers.

Finsdale says alliance, Pertwee says alliance,

Finsdale, and Pertwee?

Finsdale!

First and foremost, you must convince the girl that this is a miracle,

First, plan one.

Flagon with a dragon. Right.

Flagon. With a figure of a dragon.

For a lovely face.

For at the very moment Hawkins was delayed on the road,

For murder or abduction, I'm your man.

For the hand of the fair Gwendolyn.

For the moment, yes. The king is guided by the last voice he hears,

For when the larder's empty, she'll have her ton of beef!

For your sake, dear Griselda, he had better.

French: Je le parle le fleur ce magnifique, le romantique..

From this delicate little neck..

G! Gwendolyn!

Get him!

Get me to the king's chambers.

Get those bodies out of here!

Get up, accept the challenge!

Giacomo is my nom de plume,

Giacomo the incomparable! King of jesters, and jester of kings.

Giacomo, would you look in my eye?

Giacomo! Knight of the realm! Defender of the soil!

Giacomo?

Giacomo? A mere jester?

Giacomo? Who is Giacomo?

Go ahead, sir knight. Slay me! You won in fair combat. Strike!

Go and make love to the princess!

Go from plan one to plan two without a moment's pause.

Go to your chambers!

Good man! Just remember that.

Good stock.

Good stock. Good battle. Good bye!

Good, good, you're doing it well.

Good, it is done.

Good, it is done.

Good.

Good. Hawkins,

Good. I'd like to get in, get on with it, get it over with, and get out. Get it?

Got it. Good.

Got it. Good.

Got it. Good.

Got it. Good.

Got it. Good.

Grand. We leave at midnight. Get it?

Grim, grisly or gruesome, you'll marry Griswold!

Griselda. I bring you a message from the princess.

Griswold can then challenge him for the hand of the princess Gwendolyn,

Griswold dies as he drinks the toast.

Griswold has challenged the jester to mortal combat.

Griswold has men and arms.

Griswold is rich. What could I offer him?

Griswold will challenge him for the hand of my daughter.

Griswold!

Gruhwhoolda?

Gwendolyn, dear, do stop picking that thing.

Gwendolyn, you go too far!

Gwendolyn?

H he's right, you know, sire. Rules of chivalry, you know.

Ha! Caution is for popinjays and cockatoos

Ha! Discretion is for fools and simpletons!

Handsome of bearing. Like Apollo of the Greeks! A figure of romance.

Harm one hair of her head and I throw myself from the highest turret.

Harm one hair of that majestic head and I throw myself from the highest turret!

Has it? Has what?

Hath he passed all test of valor?

Have you seen a group in the forest with a child?

Haven't we met before?

Having given proof of that honor, having given proof of that honor...

Hawkins, how many times have I told you to stay out of my clothes?

Hawkins, hurry!

Hawkins, the future of England depends on this; you cannot fail.

Hawkins, we are indeed honored that our humble hut will shelter one,

Hawkins, you hurted yourself ?

Hawkins!

Hawkins! Hawkins! Come here!

Hawkins! The recruits will be here in a moment. Get the child.

Hawkins.

He bears the royal birthmark.

He dare not refuse.

He does beautiful work.

He doth accept the terms. He looks not smart, but in...

He has usurped the throne from the legitimate heir.

He is most fair of countenance.

He is not the Giacomo I met and negotiated with in Europe!

He lives for a sigh, he dies for a kiss,

He lusts for the laugh, ha!

He must scale a stone wall in full armor!

He never flees when he can fight.

He never walks when he can leap!

He passes!

He passes!

He really wanted me to be a boy.

He requests you do this at once.

He said were the jester of noble rank,

He swoons at the beauty of a rose.

He taught me how to love freedom and hate injustice.

He who approacheth, deem you him ready for noble knighthood.

He who approacheth, deem you him worthy of noble knighthood?

He who bears the mark of the royal bloodline.

He who even now wears my silken handkerchief next to his heart.

He who even now wears my silken handkerchief next to his heart.

He who is girded and plumed and helmeted,

He will be here... eh, within the hour!

He would challenge him to mortal combat.

He'll be taking the coast road. You better have a look.

He'll come and fight in my place? Yes.

He'll rid us forever of the barbaric Griswold!

He's a brute and a lout!

He's somewhere about, yes.

He's the new jester I've sent for.

Heart ke he che ha hah,

Hee hee hee.. he?

Heh heh.

Heh, heh, I knew you'd say that. Now, Gwendolyn, do be reasonable.

Heh! They shall drop like flies.

Heir? What heir?

Here returning to his castle is King Roderick.

Hey!

Hide? Giacomo hides for no man!

His majesty's asleep, now.

His teeth on a wreath I'll hand him!

Hmph.

Ho there!

Ho there! Hold I say!

Hold it with that basket. Let's have a look!

Hold me, take me in your arms, tell me I am yours!

Hold there! Hold!

Hold, Sir Griswold, your honor will be avenged.

Hold, Sir Griswold! Hold your men!

Hold, Sir Griswold. You will stay until the morrow. It is my command.

Hold, sire! Seize this traitor!

Horses at the north gate...

How convenient. The Fox and his mate!

How di different?

How know you that this is the royal child and not some outrageous impostor?

How many more before the jester?

How much insult must I endure? Come, men.

How speak you the king's English with no trace of accent?

How?

Huh?

Hurry along, little friends.

Hurry along, this is king's business!

Hurry along! Keep your heads down.

Hurry up, hurry up, bring it here.

Hurry, now, get into your armor!

Hurry! Help the Fox!

I I didn't pass...!

I am a woman.

I am craven and thou art my master!

I am Foltzingdale uh the wine merchant,

I am Giacomo, Giacomo, my fame before me rings,

I am Griselda.

I am most accomplished on matters of appearance,

I am prepared to make a statement.

I am the king. If it pleases me, you will marry Griswold.

I am yours.

I am. I am the Black Fox!

I ask you, how could a thing like that happen?

I assure you, Hubert Hawkins will not have died in vain!

I better take them all.

I bid you welcome! I am Ravenhurst.

I can see him now, writhing on the floor in agony,

I cannot marry Griswold, father. I love another.

I don't give a fig for your wishes!

I don't have her heartkerchief, uh, handkerheart. I don't have th..

I don't mean to be disparaging to your little friends,

I found a bow and arrow and I learned to shoot.

I found a little horn and I learned to too.

I grant your life! Take your men, and go!

I hate to keep mentioning this, sir...

I have climbed the thorny vine, and the regal maiden is mine.

I have decreed a royal marriage,

I have entertained in all the courts of Europe

I have found my love, father. My true love.

I have toyed with you long enough. You shall die.

I have, sire.

I heard the witch.

I hereby challenge in mortal combat Giacomo!

I hereby dub thee knight of the realm,

I I don't want the vessel with the pestle,

I just learned of your whereabouts. What happened...

I know how anxious you are to dispose of this villainous scum,

I know not this pretender, but I assure you

I know, sir, but when I ran away from the carnival, sir, and joined your group,

I like that very much. Thank you.

I live for a sigh, I die for a kiss.

I lust for a laugh. Ha ha!

I made a fool of myself!

I mean with your flowing hair...

I merely thought that they would take over my chores of entertaining the men.

I never expected results like this! Was he not brilliant?

I never leap when I can walk, I never flee when I can fight!

I repeat, sire. The child they would put on your throne.

I say traitor, sire!

I shall take advantage of your delightful offer...

I shall tell you what manner of man is he.

I so pledge. And I.

I tell you I've seen this man before, and somehow that maid!

I tell you, sire, the headsman's axe is too kind a fate for these foul traitors.

I think she could, and would.

I thought I'd be in the thick of it. Robbing the rich and giving to the poor.

I too love the princess and would fight for her heart.

I trust the jester's reputation is based on many years of accomplishment?

I understand the wenches have arrived. Where are they?

I want the chalice from the what?

I was a lad, I was gloomy and sad as I was from the day I was born!

I was shocked to hear about the Duchess. What did the Duke do?

I whistle and hum but I hum to whom?

I will not.

I will not.

I will tell about the basket with a willo willo wailey and a nonny nonny

I wish you to marry Griswold.

I would have you know that today was an alliance consummated,

I, Griswold of Mackalwane do so object.

I.

I... Beg pardon, captain, but, I'm...

I... I find it hard to believe that..

I..I live for a sigh, I die for a laugh, I lust for a laugh, ha ha!

I'd like to go 'round again.

I'd... Like to withdraw the question.

I'll cut him to ribbons.

I'll die first.

I'll loo loo loo loo...

I'll notify the fox, he'll be taken care of.

I'll snap if I choose!

I'll take one of those, one of those,

I'll take the child to the abbey.

I'll take you dreaming through the rainy night

I'll wear it always next to my heart.

I'll whisper it in your ear,

I'll... I'll..

I'm Fergus, the Ostler.

I'm Giacomo of the continent, the king's new jester.

I'm Giacomo, Giacomo, my fame before me rings,

I'm just on my way to inspect the lot of them.

I'm on my way back from the Italian court.

I'm putting the last touches on, right now.

I'm sorry I... I spoke in the manner I did.

I'm sorry, captain, but I didn't mean to stare.

I'm sorry, there's no time to discuss it.

I'm sure you have some very important business to attend.

I've got it! I've got it.

I've seen this monster, and it's not for nothing he's called the grim and gruesome grisly Griswold.

I've told you repeatedly, Hawkins. Each one serves as best he can.

I've told you. It was written in the stars.

If caught, our necks will snap like twigs!

If Giacomo says he will be here within the hour,

If he dies, you die.

If I die, just pray that I die bravely.

If I may suggest, it ill befits the propriety of your high office

If it pleases you so much, you marry Griswold.

If only we could have someone inside the castle;

If she's seen a group in the forest?

If things were different.

If this alliance fails, we are lost.

If this be another one of your tricks...

If this be not my true love,

If this kind of thing were done by a woman?

If we already have somebody inside the castle, why doesn't he get the key?

If what you say be true,

If you get wet and ill, you'll be no use to his majesty at all.

If your majesty doth ask it,

Immediately. He has the key.

In a moment, sire.

In addition to his brilliance as an entertainer,

In agony.

In fact, I think he...

In fact, you remind me so much of my dear and recently departed father.

In the cask?

In the vessel with the pestle!

Indeed, sire! And the good Giacomo will provide it.

Indeed.

Is he not fabulous?

Is it nonsense that I cannot ride my own domain,

Is it possible there's someone else of whom you are fond?

Is neither Giacomo nor jester, but your deadly enemy,

Is that he loved not too wisely but too well.

Is that right? Well?

Is there any opening?

It is said the incomparable Giacomo has a discerning eye for beauty.

It may be the Key to the whole plan, get it?

It might drench the field and delay the tournament.

It must be sent by pigeon to the Black Fox at once!

It must be sent by pigeon to the Black Fox at once!

It must not fail. Let us solemnly pledge that we will permit nothing,

It takes four or five years to become a knight, doesn't it?

It whistles it all day long

It will be fought by Sir Griswold of Mackalwane and Sir Giacomo of Italy.

It will take three years to knight the jester.

It'd never there in time. The bird's our only chance.

It'd never there in time. The bird's our only chance.

It's a little crystal chalice with a figure of a palace.

It's a secret, sire.

It's so easy, I can say it!

It's the way I was brought up.

Italian court? Court Italians!

Italian:

Jean, sire.

Jean. Oh! Hawkins, are you all right?

Jean. Lovely name.

Jean. Lovely name.

Jester to the king. Jester to the king.

Jester! Coming!

Journeys towards the abbey and safety for the child.

Jousting by our boldest knights. Wenches at our beck and call.

Just because it runs in the family doesn't mean that everyone has it.

Just get the child!

Just remember that.

Just this one, sire.

Keep your jests for the king.

Key to the passage. Right.

Key?

Key? It is a miracle!

Kill Griswold? But how?

King of jesters and jester of kings.

King of jesters, and jester of kings!

King of jesters, jester of kings.

Kiss me sire!

Knight the jester?!

Knight the jester. Sir Griswold will challenge him.

Knighting the jester!

Know you that the crown would make a most felicitous announcement,

Laughter, gaiety, songs, wenches... oh, yes. Wenches.

Let him now step forward or forever hold his tongue.

Let him prepare...

Let me see this fraud, this charlatan.

Let no more English blood be spilled! Victory is ours!

Let rivers of blood wash away the stain of my disgrace! Go on!

Let the jester take it and escape. They plan to kill him.

Let us beplume him and helmet his brow.

Lie down.

Life couldn't possibly better

Light up the oil, this man must boil, this man named Giaco mo? oh! No!

Lighten the mood, jester, a note of...

Like so many of his brothers and cousins and uncles and aunts...

Listen carefully! If plan one fails, you must execute plan two.

Listen carefully.

Listen, my child. I've just met Griswold's emissary,

Listen. I have put a pellet of poison in one of the vessels.

Little friends, I'm sorry,

Little harder, dear.

Lock it.

Long live the kind and down with his..

Long live the king and down with his..

Long..

Look into my eye. Deeper, deeper.

Look out!

Look, my good man, you pick your friends and I shall pick mine.

Love for a common jester. Take the swine out and hang him!

M m me? Yes.

M marry the princess? W when?

M me a knight? But why?

M'lords, to your chambers. Ponder this problem.

Mace and chain for him, too!

Mace and chain!

Made the whole thing up, didn't you? Ho ha.

Magnificent!

Majesty!

Marriage with Griswold? Never!

Master, I am Back Well?

May providence provide a true and just reward!

May the best man win.

Merely a jester's bag of tricks, sire.

Midnight. Horses at the north gate.

Mind you see that they are the fairest.

Mm hmm, with access to his chambers. But, but that's impossible.

Mortal combat.

Most recently the Italian court.

My beloved Giacomo! What?!

My child, I came within an inch of my life.

My congratulations.

My daughter married to Griswold, who will take her to a castle up north.

My father, he shouted He needs to be clouted.

My father.

My father. You must hide!

My father's influence. You see, my father made me everything I am.

My friends and my family looked at me clammily, thought there was something amiss!

My heart knows a lovely song.. heh heh..

My heart knows a lovely song...

My heart. My lips. My legs. My calves.

My kingdom seething with revolt, cutthroats and assassins in every tree!

My liege lord.

My lords... what a prize! The Black Fox, himself!

My men assure me that none of the royal family escaped alive.

My song of love let the whole world hear

Nay, fair lady. For once, Ravenhurst is right.

Never mind me. Where's the child?

Never mind that. You must take the child to the jester.

Never was there such infamous treason.

Never! Then die as traitors to the crown!

Never! Never marriage with Griswold!

No butcher, no baker, no candlestick maker

No more than that, sir. Barely enough for a child!

No need to holler, sir, I hear very well indeed!

No no no, you must go!

No one enters by the king's command!

No one snaps at the king! Don't you dare snap at me!

No teacher to take me to mold me and make me a merry mad fool or an elf!
