1:22:03
Now, then, sire, we have to
get you ready for the ceremony!

1:22:06
Ah, but my dear...
- Now there.

1:22:08
You can't imagine my feelings,
1:22:12
when I touch the head of a man
who calles himself the king of England.

1:22:18
Who IS the King of England!
And very handsome, too, sire.

1:22:23
On the day of your first
tournament. There you are.

1:22:28
Where?
1:22:30
Now I must go, sire.
1:22:31
Oh, now wait, dear, wait.
1:22:32
Oh, no, you have to
get to your ceremony!

1:22:34
But there's no hurry. We can't
start until the jester's been made ready.

1:22:39
The jester?!
1:22:40
Yes, haven't you heard?
We're knighting the poor fool.

1:22:42
Knighting the jester!
1:22:44
Yes, you'd
never guess why.

1:22:46
So that he can
marry the princess.

1:22:48
Well, that's the fool thinks,
but the moment I dub him knight,

1:22:50
Griswold will challenge him
for the hand of my daughter.

1:22:53
Mortal combat.
1:22:54
Yes, isn't it delicious?
He dare not refuse,

1:22:58
they meet at lists, and Sir Griswold's
lance runs the jester through,

1:23:02
as a fitting climax
to a glorious day.

1:23:05
Oh, my dear, you are a
delicate, lovely creature.

1:23:09
Tell me, does it bother you that I
may be a few years your senior?

1:23:13
Oh, no, sire, not really.
1:23:15
In fact, you remind me so much of my
dear and recently departed father.

1:23:21
Oh, your father, yes.
1:23:22
Well, was he a handsome figure
of a man? Dashing, effective...

1:23:25
Oh, yes, sire, 'till the scourge
brought about his untimely end.

1:23:29
Eh, come here, my dear.
- What a horrible death!

1:23:32
A little closer...
1:23:33
I can see him now, writhing
on the floor in agony,

1:23:37
like so many of his brothers and
cousins and uncles and aunts...

1:23:41
Yes. Would you grant
the king a little kiss?

1:23:43
Oh, certainly, sire, and don't
worry. They say it isn't catching.

1:23:48
Oh, you are a little...
1:23:52
catching?
1:23:54
Just because it runs in the family
doesn't mean that everyone has it.

1:23:59
Kiss me sire!
