"Could the captain..."
The Court Jester
"Could the captain ever entertain thoughts of marriage with such a man?"
The Court Jester
"Yes, Hawkins."
The Court Jester
"I think she could, and would."
The Court Jester
"If things were different."
The Court Jester
"How di-different?"
The Court Jester
"The infant on the throne and... Our fight for freedom won."
The Court Jester
"Why does such a little girl have to do such a big job?"
The Court Jester
"It's the way I was brought up."
The Court Jester
"My father's influence. You see, my father made me everything I am."
The Court Jester
"He does beautiful work."
The Court Jester
"He taught me how to love freedom and hate injustice."
The Court Jester
"The use of weapons and how to fight."
The Court Jester
"In fact, I think he..."
The Court Jester
"he really wanted me to be a boy."
The Court Jester
"Too bad. You'd've made a wonderful girl."
The Court Jester
"No! We daren't think of ourselves until our fight is won."
The Court Jester
"Yes, but that could take twenty years or more."
The Court Jester
"Or twenty hours. If only we could put our plan into operation."
The Court Jester
"Plan? Do we have a p-plan?"
The Court Jester
"A handful of men could overthrow the castle in a matter of hours."
The Court Jester
"Yes."
The Court Jester
"You see, there's a secret passage that starts in the forest,"
The Court Jester
"and tunnels underneath the walls of the castle."
The Court Jester
"Secret passage."
The Court Jester
"But it's locked at both ends and the key is in the king's possession."
The Court Jester
"The king's possession, yeah."
The Court Jester
"If only we could have someone inside the castle;"
The Court Jester
"an intimate of the king, with access to his chambers."
The Court Jester
"Mm-hmm, with access to his chambers. But, but that's impossible."
The Court Jester
"Ah, good evening! A thousand apologies for this uh intrusion,"
The Court Jester
"but may I beg shelter and warmth from this miserable storm?"
The Court Jester
"Who are you?"
The Court Jester
"A stranger in this land, young woman, but not for long."
The Court Jester
"I'm Giacomo of the continent, the king's new jester."
The Court Jester
"The court jester."
The Court Jester
"Giacomo?"
The Court Jester
"Giacomo the incomparable! King of jesters, and jester of kings."
The Court Jester
"Well where are you from?"
The Court Jester
"Most recently the Italian court."
The Court Jester
"But I have entertained in all the courts of Europe,"
The Court Jester
"and speak a ready wit in their every tongue."
The Court Jester
"Hawkins, we are indeed honored that our humble hut will shelter one,"
The Court Jester
"will tomorrow be an intimate of the king."
The Court Jester
"With access to his chambers."
The Court Jester
"But how will they know you?"
The Court Jester
"Are you sure that no one in the castle has ever seen your face?"
The Court Jester
"Not yet! But I assure you,"
The Court Jester
"ere another sun has set,"
The Court Jester
"the entire court of England will succumb to the charm,"
The Court Jester
"wit, and song of the incomparable Giacomo, king of jesters.."
The Court Jester
"...And jester to the king!"
The Court Jester
"I'll take the child to the abbey."
The Court Jester
"You must go to the castle at once. Quickly, into his clothes!"
The Court Jester
"W-what are we going to do about him?"
The Court Jester
"I'll notify the fox, he'll be taken care of."
The Court Jester
"Now listen, listen carefully. Once inside the castle,"
The Court Jester
"you must get to the king's chamber, and find the key to the secret passage."
The Court Jester
"Key to the passage. Right."
The Court Jester
"Then you must give it to the one man inside the castle who's our confederate."
The Court Jester
"- Confederate."
The Court Jester
"You mean we already have somebody inside the castle? One of our own people?"
The Court Jester
"You will contact him by whistling our secret call."
The Court Jester
"Whistle it, hum it, sing it."
The Court Jester
"But I don't understand,"
The Court Jester
"if we already have somebody inside the castle, why doesn't he get the key?"
The Court Jester
"You'll understand when you see him. Now, he'll hear that and identify himself."
The Court Jester
"Why can't you just tell me his name?"
The Court Jester
"Should they discover you, they might force you to reveal his identity."
The Court Jester
"Okay, I'd like to ask you one question."
The Court Jester
"After months of pleading for just this kind of action,"
The Court Jester
"what makes you think that anybody ..anybody could force me reveal the identity of my confederate?"
The Court Jester
"Because they'd put you on the rack, crack your every bone, scald you with hot oil,"
The Court Jester
"and remove the nails off your fingers with flaming hot pincers."
The Court Jester
"I'd... Like to withdraw the question."
The Court Jester
"Hawkins, the future of England depends on this; you cannot fail."
The Court Jester
"I will not."
The Court Jester
"Oh heaven help you."
The Court Jester
"Now remember from this moment on,"
The Court Jester
"you're no longer Hubert Hawkins the carnival entertainer;"
The Court Jester
"You're the incomparable Giacomo, king of jesters and jester to the king."
The Court Jester
"Jester to the king. Jester to the king."
The Court Jester
"To the king!?"
The Court Jester
"The child escapes. You hear that, Ravenhurst? The child escapes."
The Court Jester
"Gwendolyn, dear, do stop picking that thing."
The Court Jester
"The revolt spreads."
The Court Jester
"Brockhurst here says alliance with Griswold,"
The Court Jester
"Finsdale says alliance, Pertwee says alliance,"
The Court Jester
"and yet you, Ravenhurst, you of all my ministers..."
The Court Jester
"Sire. If my lords Brockhurst, Finsdale, and Pertwee plead so strongly for alliance,"
The Court Jester
"then by all means let us have such alliance."
The Court Jester
"A marriage between Sir Griswold and the princess Gwendolyn."
The Court Jester
"You are quite right."
The Court Jester
"Never! Never marriage with Griswold!"
The Court Jester
"Be sensible. - Sensible!"
The Court Jester
"I've seen this monster, and it's not for nothing he's called the grim and gruesome grisly Griswold."
The Court Jester
"Grim, grisly or gruesome, you'll marry Griswold!"
The Court Jester
"I'll die first."
The Court Jester
"Go to your chambers!"
The Court Jester
"Good, it is done."
The Court Jester
"Arrange for the wedding directly after the tournament."
The Court Jester
"We'll make a show of this."
The Court Jester
"You there! Go hence. Scour the countryside."
The Court Jester
"Bring in the fairest wenches in the land."
The Court Jester
"Mind you see that they are the fairest."
The Court Jester
"Wenches, laughter, song, that's what this court needs!"
The Court Jester
"Indeed, sire! And the good Giacomo will provide it."
The Court Jester
"Giacomo? Who is Giacomo?"
The Court Jester
"He's the new jester I've sent for."
The Court Jester
"By reputation the gayest and wittiest entertainer in Europe."
The Court Jester
"Splendid! Ha ha! What a festival this will be."
The Court Jester
"Jousting by our boldest knights. Wenches at our beck and call."
The Court Jester
"My daughter married to Griswold, who will take her to a castle up north."
The Court Jester
"Way up north! But gentle lords, you make me very happy."
The Court Jester
"They have won."
The Court Jester
"For the moment, yes. The king is guided by the last voice he hears,"
The Court Jester
"and that voice shall be mine. Giacomo will see to that."
The Court Jester
"Giacomo? A mere jester?"
The Court Jester
"With one special talent for which my agent has bargained dearly."
The Court Jester
"In addition to his brilliance as an entertainer,"
