"This is the story of how the destiny of a nation was changed by a birthmark."
The Court Jester
"A royal birthmark on the royal posterior of a royal infant child."
The Court Jester
"Here returning to his castle is King Roderick."
The Court Jester
"Roderick the tyrant, who some months before seized the throne"
The Court Jester
"by a massacre of the entire royal family."
The Court Jester
"But uneasy lies Roderick's crown, for rumor hath it that an infant,"
The Court Jester
"the rightful heir to the thrown had survived the massacre."
The Court Jester
"And even now is being cared for by a group in the forest."
The Court Jester
"A group led by an elusive dashing outlaw known only as.."
The Court Jester
"the Black Fox!"
The Court Jester
"The child lives! Death to the tyrant! The Black Fox."
The Court Jester
"The Black Fox again! To the castle, quick!"
The Court Jester
"My kingdom seething with revolt, cutthroats and assassins in every tree!"
The Court Jester
"Why must I be surrounded by fools? Ravenhurst! Ravenhurst!"
The Court Jester
"Sire!"
The Court Jester
"Could you have been so incompetent, bungled so horribly,"
The Court Jester
"as to have permitted that child to live?"
The Court Jester
"Sire, there is no child."
The Court Jester
"My men assure me that none of the royal family escaped alive."
The Court Jester
"Believe me, sire, this is nonsense."
The Court Jester
"Nonsense? You call it nonsense, Ravenhurst!"
The Court Jester
"Is it nonsense that I cannot ride my own domain,"
The Court Jester
"without being murderously attacked."
The Court Jester
"My child, I came within an inch of my life."
The Court Jester
"Oh, father."
The Court Jester
"Each day, some new insurrection. Who is this Black Fox?"
The Court Jester
"Oh just some ridiculous adventurer with a handful of rabble."
The Court Jester
"Rabble today but an army tomorrow!"
The Court Jester
"We need help to wipe them out. Men and arms!"
The Court Jester
"Aye, an alliance with our good friend Griswold of the North!"
The Court Jester
"Aye, alliance, and quickly! He arrives tomorrow for the great tournament."
The Court Jester
"Alliance with Griswold..."
The Court Jester
"Sire, this rabble can be crushed."
The Court Jester
"Griswold has men and arms."
The Court Jester
"We need no uncouth interloper from the north."
The Court Jester
"Uncouth, yes, but Griswold is strong."
The Court Jester
"Perhaps too strong."
The Court Jester
"Perhaps our friend Ravenhurst fears an alliance"
The Court Jester
"would put Griswold and not himself at the king's right hand!"
The Court Jester
"You shall die for this!"
The Court Jester
"One of us will!"
The Court Jester
"Stop! Stop! Stop, I say!"
The Court Jester
"Put up your sword, you fool."
The Court Jester
"Sire! -Silence! -But sire! -Silence! -Your pardon, sire."
The Court Jester
"And you, too. Must we quarrel amongst ourselves?"
The Court Jester
"Do you think I could make alliance?"
The Court Jester
"Griswold is rich. What could I offer him?"
The Court Jester
"That which he desires most in the world. Marriage, sire."
The Court Jester
"With your daughter, the fair Gwendolyn."
The Court Jester
"Marriage with Griswold? Never!"
The Court Jester
"What's that you say?"
The Court Jester
"He's a brute and a lout!"
The Court Jester
"Brute or not, lout or not, if I so decide, you'll marry Griswold."
The Court Jester
"I will not."
The Court Jester
"I am the king. If it pleases me, you will marry Griswold."
The Court Jester
"If it pleases you so much, you marry Griswold."
The Court Jester
"When I marry, I marry for love."
The Court Jester
"Someone dashing and romantic,"
The Court Jester
"who will carry me off as a princess should be carried off!"
The Court Jester
"Who fills your head with this childish fiddle faddle."
The Court Jester
"Ah, I know... Griselda."
The Court Jester
"She of the evil eye. Take the witch out and burn her!"
The Court Jester
"Harm one hair of her head and I throw myself from the highest turret."
The Court Jester
"Gwendolyn, you go too far!"
The Court Jester
"Dire news, sire! I've just come from the forest. The child lives!"
The Court Jester
"The child lives?!"
The Court Jester
"Aye, sire."
The Court Jester
"How know you that this is the royal child and not some outrageous impostor?"
The Court Jester
"Because sire, disguised as a member of their group, I saw him."
The Court Jester
"And I can assure you that like his royal ancestors,"
The Court Jester
"and on the same spot as his royal ancestors,"
The Court Jester
"he bears the royal birthmark."
The Court Jester
"The... purple pimpernel?"
The Court Jester
"The purple pimpernel."
The Court Jester
"Oh... Then why stand you here, you incompetent Jackalings?"
The Court Jester
"To horse! To the forest!"
The Court Jester
"Cut them down!"
The Court Jester
"Kill the infamous child who claims to be the rightful king."
The Court Jester
"And destroy forever this traitorous fiend who calls himself the Black Fox!"
The Court Jester
"Hawkins! Hawkins! Come here!"
The Court Jester
"Hawkins, you hurted yourself ?"
The Court Jester
"Are you all right, Hawkins?"
The Court Jester
"Come here!"
The Court Jester
"Sir."
The Court Jester
"Hawkins, how many times have I told you to stay out of my clothes?"
The Court Jester
"And who are these little people?"
The Court Jester
"Oh, these are my friends, sir."
The Court Jester
"They used to work with me at the carnival."
The Court Jester
"They're the finest troupe of acrobats and tumblers in all of England."
The Court Jester
"But why did you bring them here?"
The Court Jester
"Well they too would be part of our group, sir."
The Court Jester
"They feel strongly as we do about the tyranny,"
The Court Jester
"and would join in our worthy cause."
The Court Jester
"Sir."
The Court Jester
"Well, captain?"
The Court Jester
"The new recruits are arriving, sir."
The Court Jester
"Good. Hawkins,"
The Court Jester
"I don't mean to be disparaging to your little friends,"
The Court Jester
"but weapons are limited and..."
The Court Jester
"Oh oh, I didn't intend for them to fight, sir, I.."
The Court Jester
"I merely thought that they would take over my chores of entertaining the men."
The Court Jester
"Then perhaps I'd be free to bear arms myself,sir,"
The Court Jester
"and come to grips with the enemy."
The Court Jester
"Face to face and steel to steel. Fist to fist, sir."
The Court Jester
"Hmph."
The Court Jester
"Little friends, I'm sorry,"
The Court Jester
"but food and weapons are limited so you see, uh..."
The Court Jester
"We'll do anything for Hawkins, sir. He always was our friend."
The Court Jester
"I'm sorry, there's no time to discuss it."
The Court Jester
"Please go quickly and without detection."
The Court Jester
"Well, if you ever need us, call us!"
The Court Jester
"Thank you, I shall."
The Court Jester
"Bye Hawkins!"
The Court Jester
"Hawkins! The recruits will be here in a moment. Get the child."
The Court Jester
"Child... er..."
The Court Jester
"I hate to keep mentioning this, sir..."
The Court Jester
"Just get the child!"
The Court Jester
"Well, sir, you know I'd do anything for his majesty, but,"
The Court Jester
"don't you think it look better if a woman were..."
The Court Jester
"Tend to your duty! And get out of my clothes!"
