Sir?

The girl, there She was hiding there I

saw her there once, sir I could have

sworn A servant girl So,

madam, you are returned at last You wicked

girl, how dare you disobey me Where have

you been?

I only went Yes?

To my parents' grave, stepmother To put some

flowers there How touching With flowers from my

garden Stolen flowers Oh I say yes I

say you stole them You are not only

a liar, but a thief And thieves, we

know, must be punished Come This is your

place And there is your task We are

expecting guests for dinner tonight Important guests And

for repaying my kindness With cunning and deceit

Henceforth, you will not dare To venture from

this room without my say Is that understood?

Yes, stepmother Then make a start And make

amends John,

tell me something Have you ever wished you

were in love?

Oh, yes Often, I mean, as often as

I wish it Well Well, I am in

love You are?

How amazing Who is she?

The Lady Caroline, sir, since you ask What?

The lady in waiting to my grandmother, that

Lady Caroline?

Yes How amazing Well, it's extraordinary Not extraordinarily

extraordinary, of course But I never guessed Well,

I'm delighted you have my blessing I must

congratulate her No, no, please, sir, don't do

that It's kind of you, but it wouldn't

be seemly How so?

Alas, my cause is a lost one Well,

the lady does not return your affections Oh,

indeed But the fact remains that I am

what I am A servant A physician, sir

Physician John, I am twice amazed I must

be very dense, am I?

Of course not You have your problems I

have mine Where are we?

That's us?

Are you sure this map's been drawn to

scale?

I believe so, Your Majesty Then what have

I been looking at all these years?

I thought that was us I always go

by the brown parts for the land and

the blue parts for the sea Who's that?

First Lord of the Navy, sir We've got

a navy?

The Royal Barge on the lake Oh, yes,

yes Well, remind me not to travel in

it again So, even allowing for errors in

the cartographer's art we are small in comparison

with our neighbours Though great in...

What's the word?

Tradition Tradition, yes Great in tradition and spirit

In fact, we are small Yeah, yeah So

we have to have a plan Now, you're

all aware of the problems of my son's

reluctance to have a perfectly good wife chosen

for him This generation has no respect at

all I mean, I was married off before

I was 14 Carol's felt Where's that?

Ah, you see, the size of it See,

the size of it, perfect Now, what's the

solution?

With respect, Your Majesty I have prepared a

small paper What I am seeking is a

proper balance weighing what we lack against what

we have to offer Oh, for goodness sake

Stop talking in those boring diplomatic riddles Speak

the King's Euphranian man Forgive me, Your Majesty

I had in mind a celebration What are

you going to celebrate?

A marriage, sir Getting married again?

Finally got rid of her, eh?

Not my marriage, sir His Royal Highness, the

Prince Edwards Well, we'd all like to celebrate

that That's what you're talking about Sometimes I

think I'm surrounded by a lot of idiots

Here we are Hedged in by hostile forces

and all you can think of is something

that's been thought of Sire, this time I

have a new idea An idea that the

Prince himself will not be able to resist

We'll make sure that she's got teeth He's

got an obsession about them having teeth I

thought a ball A ball?

A ball A great ball The greatest ball

that has ever been known, sire And to

it we will invite every eligible princess in

Europe and even beyond, Your Majesty What do

you think of that idea?

I remember my first ball Yes, well, we

don't want to go into the realms of

fantasy What else?

I have prepared a list, Your Majesty And

I thought we could make such preparations as

would dazzle our enemies and divide them For

protocol would not allow them to make war

while they are guests in our midst And

I remain convinced that the Prince, Your Son,

will do his duty Indeed, face to face,

in the presence of the entire court he

could hardly fail to do anything else The

occasion, the music, the candlelight the swirling dresses,

the perfume, the very atmosphere of love Put

him on the retirement list I shall make

a royal decision Taking this idea, and improving

on it we must plan every detail, noblesse

oblige Quite so, Your Majesty You understand that?

I'm talking about diplomacy Protocol!

Yes, we must be protocol-egorically correct Good,

for must never suffer from neglect The rules

and regulations we respect Must be treated circumspect

Else the kingdom will be wrecked We've a

system to protect Checked and double-checked and

protocol-egorically correct Sire, please, sire When its

army is battered and broken and back to

its borders it crawls To what clings a

tottering kingdom If not to its protocols And

when the treasury is tapped from its treasures

Are the tapestries stripped from the walls No,

the court carries on with its pleasures Inquisitions

and banquets and halls But they must be

protocol-egorically correct Good, for must never suffer

from neglect The rules and regulations we respect

Must be treated circumspect Else the kingdom will

be wrecked We've a system to protect Checked

and double-checked and protocol-egorically correct Well

done, sir President We need a book that

will give us chapter and verse In the

library?

It will be in the library I believe

we are already within the library, Your Majesty

Of course, of course I knew that What

volume do you suggest?

There is only one, Your Majesty The Bible

The Bible?

Well, let's keep religion out of it No,

sir, I should say in this case The

Bible is formed and addresses for royal occasions

by de Leon Now then, let me see,

sir Abdication, dismissal of ministers, garden parties, investiture,

judicial beheadings Skip all that Your Majesty, questions

of precedent pertaining to the seating of crowned

heads in difficult situations We should rehearse it

You can be the Princess Esmeralda Ever willing

to serve, Your Majesty And you, the Duchess

of Rambouillet And you, the daughter of the

Emperor of Bratislava And, well, the rest of

you, solidarities What an inspired idea, Your Majesty

If the daughter of the Duchess of Snarden

Were to be seated by the Countess of

Sneed For this breach of decorum to Snarden

The invasion of Sneed would proceed And seat

the heiress to the barony of Newburgh By

the side of her hated cousin, Gwen Oh,

how quickly the armies of Newburgh Would deploy

to destroy us again So we must be

protocol, allegorically correct Good form must never suffer

from neglect The rules and regulations we respect

Must be treated circumspect Else the kingdom will

be wrecked We've a system to protect Checked

and double-checked and protocol, allegorically correct So

we must be protocol, allegorically correct Good form

must never suffer from neglect The rules and

regulations we respect Must be treated circumspect Else

the kingdom will be wrecked We've a system

to protect Checked and double-checked and protocol,

allegorically correct Protocol Above

all Makes a kingdom rise or fall So

we must be protocol, allegorically correct Good form

must never suffer from neglect The rules and

regulations we respect Must be treated circumspect Else

the kingdom will be wrecked We've a system

to protect Checked and double-checked and protocol,

allegorically correct Protocol,

allegorically correct Well

now, were you expecting me?

No, I wasn't expecting anybody Funny, you should

have felt something Losing my touch Could I

come in and rest by your fire, please?

I've been travelling a long way Well, I'm

not supposed to talk to anybody or see

anybody But, of course, you're welcome to share

my fire Such as it is, but I'd

be obliged if you didn't stay too long

Please excuse me if I carry on working

But I have to finish these and I'm

very slow Yes, well there are more ways

than one of peeling potatoes Fire seems to

have cheered up I could warm you a

little broth if you like No, thank you,

but thank you for the thought You live

down here on your own, do you?

I do now Yes, things have changed But

that doesn't mean to say they won't change

again I get around quite a bit, you

know It must be nice to travel Yes

and no I sometimes wish I could settle

in one place But there's never enough time

I'd like somewhere cosy with a dog to

keep me company I expect your dog is

a great comfort to you My dog?

I haven't got a dog Isn't he yours?

Where did he come from?

He came in while I came in What

am I going to do with him?

Why don't you keep him?

He'll take care of himself He's no hand

at that Seems to like you Oh, I

love him I'm just so afraid of what

my stepmother will say Cinderella?

Oh, there she is, and I haven't finished

I've got to hide you Well, I'll be

off I've seen all I want to see

You just take care of him Cinderella?

I'll hide you under here You must promise

not to make a sound Have you been

struck dumb, girl?

Answer me when I call You know I

hate having to raise my voice Now, I

hope you have been hard at work I

see, I see

I see I shall have to give you

more to do next time I

will not have my authority flouted in this

fashion It has always been the custom for

the heir to the throne to take a

wife in good time And you show a

strange reluctance to comply with tradition Father, I

emphatically disagree And I totally refuse to take

part in such an embarrassing charade But I've

decreed it Then you must undecree it It's

impossible You totally...

Dearest boy Oh, mother, it's no use trying

to get round me that way The very

idea of giving a ball and inviting a

selection of titled wallflowers to vie for my

hand is utterly repulsive Degrading to all concerned

In my day, I never had the choice

Not that I would have chosen any different,

of course You take a decision without consulting

me Well, I am your father, and I

am the king It's like some sordid beauty

contest with me as the grand prize Since

you won't go to Mecca, Mecca must come

to you You have to get married someday,

dear But not in this way Well, it

seems perfectly reasonable to me We've invited every

eligible princess in the almanac And it's a

question of duty Father, I have never questioned

that it is my bounden duty to take

a wife and ensure the royal succession But

that does not mean I have to be

party to and judge a cattle show Whoever

heard of such a thing?

Cattle show?

A bride-finding ball A bride-finding ball

Where every maiden's bound to laugh at me,

the royal fatted calf A bride-finding ball

A bride-finding ball Though I'm the one

who does the choosing, I'm the one who

does the losing It's nauseating, nauseating, can't you

just imagine it?

Hope springs in all, short, fat or tall

As they primp and preen and pray that

this will be their lucky day There is

no affair of which I'm aware More galling

to bear than a bride-finding ball I've

just heard the news Oh, let him in

Is it true, dear uncle?

The tattle is that you're going to invite

a whole nursery of nubile delicacies to a

ball Some other time, nephew, we're busy now

Oh, but you can't keep me in suspense,

you just can't, uncle I mean, I realise

that I won't have first pick But that

doesn't matter to me because I'm not proud

I'm just desperate We're all desperate So it's

true then Oh, how exciting Now, I must

decide what to wear High heels, I think,

to give me added stature The moment you've

made your choice, I shall unleash myself I've

already made my choice, cousin As far as

I'm concerned, you can have your pick of

the lot Oh, but you can't do that

You can't be such a spoil sport I

mean A bride-finding ball, a bride-finding

ball Where luscious lovelies from each man will

vie to win the royal hand A bride

-finding ball, a bride-finding ball With thrills

on dresses, party dresses Every maiden effervescing Giving

her best, giving her all Dancing, glancing, laughing,

teasing Whirling, swirling, touching, squeezing There's no affair

to ever compare A thrill of enthral like

a bride-finding ball Your Majesty Well, what

is it?

I bring grave tidings Carrolsfeld has mobilized There

is talk of war War, war, war As

your majesty's senior minister of state It is

my solemn duty to advise you That the

situation is critical The news that his royal

highness Saw fit to decline the hand of

the princess Selina in marriage Was ill-received

True, true Edward, my son I beseech you,

not as a father, but as your monarch

Reconsider before it's too late Put aside your

personal feelings The whole country looks to you

to form an alliance through the marriage bed

And do as I did when I took

your mother I closed my eyes and thought

of Euphrania Wildestein

You back Ah

How many does that make?

Well, your majesty Of the couriers who returned

Six have reported acceptances In addition, there were

five refusals One of them couched in the

most obscene terms Two of those invited were

dead And the remaining three could not be

traced That makes six out of sixteen I

think that's a fair average, don't you?

Yes, indeed, sir Perhaps not quite the breadth

of choice we at first envisaged Well, invite

all local nobility as well We don't want

the place half empty We can always raise

the taxes to pay for it In fact,

I'll invent a new tax A tax on

snobbery They all pay that Brilliant, your majesty,

brilliant Don't overdo it, don't overdo it You'll

be paying it too Girls, girls Isabella Palatine

Yes, mama Come quickly What is it, mama?

Wonderful news We have received a royal invitation

To a ball in honor of his royal

highness, the prince Oh, mama Let me see

Careful, careful, you might tear it And I

want to have it framed Oh, I think

it's so exciting I shall have the veil,

then How shall I have my hair?

What shall I wear?

There is work to be done We have

not a moment to lose What can we

wear?

We'll have to have something new Yes, I

mean, none of my things are possible Let

us go and see Oh, you never do

a job properly, girl Look at all that

dirty water You had better do the whole

staircase again Come, girls Mama, I think Palatine

should wear a brown dress You spiteful creature

You should wear green to match your complexion

Oh, mama But the prestige, your royal highness,

the prestige It will put Euphramia on the

map Pin there, idiot Not there, there Excuse

me, your royal highness Fine, fine, fine, enough's

enough I'm delighted you've done very well Now

leave us, please
