:45:01
Who did what to what?
:45:02
Oh, they all did, sire. There
they were in the dark;

:45:05
The Duke with his dagger, the Douge
with his dart, Duchess with her dirk.

:45:08
Duchess with her dirk?
- Yes!

:45:10
The Duchess dove at the Duke just
when the Duke dove at the Douge.

:45:13
Now the Duke ducked, the Douge
dodged, and the Duchess didn't.

:45:16
So the Duke got the Duchess, the Duchess
got the Douge, and the Douge got the Duke!

:45:21
Curious. I... I... hm?
What? What's that?

:45:25
All I heard was that the Duchess had a
siege of rheumatism. She's 83, you know.

:45:29
Oh, come next summer, sire.
:45:30
So's the Duke.
- So's the Duke.

:45:32
Remarkable, those Italians, what?
:45:40
Made the whole thing
up, didn't you? Ho ha.

:45:44
Very witty, very clever.
Just what this court needs

:45:47
Laughter, gaiety, songs,
wenches... oh, yes. Wenches.

:45:53
I'm just on my way to
inspect the lot of them.

:45:55
Who knows, I may
find some luscious...

:45:57
Oh, sire.
:45:59
If I may suggest, it ill befits the
propriety of your high office

:46:02
to be seen with these
unkempt wenches. - Wha...?

:46:05
It is said the incomparable Giacomo
has a discerning eye for beauty.

:46:10
Eh, why not let him select a
suitable companion for your majesty?

:46:15
Excellent! Excellent!
:46:18
I trust the jester's reputation is based
on many years of accomplishment?

:46:25
Why do you think they call
me incomparable, sire? Get it?

:46:28
Got it. - Good.
:46:32
Bring her to my chambers.
Within the hour?

:46:34
Within the hour.
:46:38
Finish with the king and
come to my chambers.

:46:40
Within the hour.
:46:42
Eh, about that song, sir...
:46:44
Some other time, my good man.
:46:45
Yes, Fergus, get on
with your work!

:46:48
The good captain will escort you
to your quarters. - Very well.

:46:52
Are you sure we
haven't met before?

:46:55
Quite sure.
:46:58
Within the hour.
