1:19:03
Thank you, sire.
1:19:04
But your majesty,
knighthood is an arduous ritual!

1:19:07
It will take three years
to knight the jester.

1:19:10
Three years? Nonsense!
1:19:12
Ravenhurst,
take that nincompoop,

1:19:14
and knight that nincompoop
by noon tomorrow!

1:19:18
Sire.
1:19:22
By order of his
sovereign majesty,

1:19:23
the jester Giacomo shall enter
upon a series of tests of manhood,

1:19:27
skill, and courage requisite to
his becoming a knight of the realm.

1:19:31
M-me a knight? But why?
1:19:33
To make you eligible for the
hand of the princess Gwendolyn.

1:19:36
M-marry the princess? W-when?
1:19:38
Upon your passing
each and every test.

1:19:40
Oh! Well that's different.
1:19:41
It takes four or five years
to become a knight, doesn't it?

1:19:44
We shall see.
Let the tests begin!

1:19:47
Uh, w-wait! What's
the hurry? I- b- ch-

1:19:51
He must scale a stone
wall in full armor!

1:20:02
Candidate passes!
1:20:05
Uh, b- buh... I didn't...!
1:20:06
With long bow, he must
slay a hawk in full flight!

1:20:15
He passes!
1:20:16
But I didn't even shoot...
1:20:17
The candidate passes!
1:20:19
But I didn't even shoot
the arrow! The arrow...

1:20:21
I- I didn't pass...!
1:20:24
The candidate must conquer
a wild boar with his bare hands!

1:20:29
Release the boar!
1:20:41
He passes!
1:20:51
No one enters by
the king's command!

1:20:54
But this is the
king's command.
