:47:04
Your Giacomo seems more
the fool than the assassin.

:47:07
Or perchance a brilliant
combination of both.

:47:11
We shall see.
:47:16
I'm Giacomo, Giacomo,
my fame before me rings,

:47:23
king of jesters,
and jester of kings!

:47:30
What are you doing here?
:47:31
I'm Fergus, the Ostler.
:47:33
Whobis the whatsler?
:47:35
Fergus the Ostler. It is I, not
Ravenhurst who is your friend.

:47:39
Look, my good man, you pick
your friends and I shall pick mine.

:47:42
At the moment, I have a very
important mission with the king.

:47:45
After all, I'm the incomparable Giacomo,
king of jesters and jester of kings.

:47:50
I have entertained in
all the courts of Europe

:47:52
and speak a ready wit in their
every tongue. Uh who are you?

:47:56
I am Griselda.
:47:58
Gruhwhoolda?
:47:59
Griselda. I bring you a
message from the princess.

:48:02
Uh, the royal princess?
:48:04
She finds you most attractive
and would like to meet you.

:48:07
M-m-me? - Yes.
:48:08
She finds you passing
fair, passing graceful.

:48:10
Oh, uh, tell her thank you very
much but I'm just passing through.

:48:14
One does not ordinarily
refuse princesses...

:48:17
Well, one doesn't
ordinarily, but you see...

:48:20
Is it possible there's someone
else of whom you are fond?

:48:22
Uh y-yes, as a matter
of fact there is.

:48:25
Giacomo, would you
look in my eye?

:48:28
Eye?
:48:29
Yes, it's been troubling me,
:48:31
and I thought that the great Giacomo
would have a knowledge of science.

:48:35
Eh s-science. Well, yes,
:48:36
as a matter of fact I have a
great deal of scientific knowledge.

:48:39
We have b-b-which eye?
:48:41
Both. Look at them both.
:48:45
Closer, closer. Deeper,
:48:48
deeper. Deeper, deeper.
:48:53
Tails of lizards, ears of swine,
:48:57
chicken gizzards soaked in brine,
:48:59
now thine eyes and mine
entwine, thy will is broken,
