Original subtitles

Mrs. Wirthin did not stay in the country.

She looked at the wide world.

However, from Main to Elbe, as far as

the point is concerned, the same applies everywhere.

And she stood in the call that only

caused her difficulties.

She could not fulfill the wishes of the

male population and

raised the young woman.

Kätchen von Kätchenheim.

I hear you, Kätchen.

Because the world is calling you a charming

woman, and you don't have to be charming.

That's why I would like to marry you.

What is charming?

A chair.

Good.

Sit and behave.

The donkeys are to be carried, just like

you.

The women are to be carried, just like

you.

Damned soldiers.

Don't pay attention to him, he's just playing.

The donkeys are to be carried, just like

you.

Beautiful.

My little pig, I've planted it.

Captain, darling, you'll be so happy.

Come on.

The donkeys are to be carried, just like

you.

The women are to be carried, just like

you.

The donkeys are to be carried, just like

you.

Thank you

very much.

Where to?

Back to my people.

Stay, they don't need you now.

Oh yes, I'm part of the theater troupe,

I'm the principal.

To be close to you, I will engage

the whole troupe.

I'm the Countess Santa Croce di Luca, Madam.

My brother is the richest man from Viareggio

to Empoli.

Then I should take this engagement into consideration.

Does that mean you're not doing well?

Maybe.

Since this Napoleon has started his world theater,

there is no chance for law-abiding actors.

I have to go now, thank you very

much.

I want to engage you, I need your

help, believe me.

My brother is waiting for news from me.

We are comedians and not mail couriers.

That's why I need you.

Since Napoleon made his sister the Duchess of

Lucca, every letter from my brother Santa Croce

is intercepted.

Yes, a comedian troupe would not be noticed.

They want to confiscate our goods.

All this Napoleonic gossip.

For over two years I've been looking for

documents about our property.

I think I've finally found them.

So secret messages?

You shouldn't do it for nothing.

My brother Enrico will reward you for this

dangerous comedy.

I say yes.

What if we talk about details now?

I have to go back.

That was the last act of Susanne Delberg's

theater troupe.

Where is she?

Here.

She is safe.

Safe?

How did this green boy hang himself?

Ferdinand, you are mean.

Everything destroyed.

Look at this.

Come to my people.

I know you.

For many years.

You don't know what you are capable of

if you...

Whore!

I don't want to see you anymore.

Get out of my house.

Wait a minute.

What are you saying?

It's true.

You speak of art.

I've been looking forward to it for days.

And you haven't sung a single pig's song.

You can have that.

Mrs. Wirtin also has a pig.

In which she was very mistaken.

On the pig's sign it was written that

it was a red ox.

But it was a pig.

You whore!

Shut up!

Feather and ink!

Who is this milk beard?

The Countess Santa Croce de Luca.

And you were with him?

No, he...

Not what?

He engaged me.

What's going on?

We're supposed to play?

We are now the Santa Croce's theater troupe.

Here you go.

This letter will be given to you by

my brother as my girlfriend.

That means as a friend of our house.

And this should serve you as travel money

until you get to my brother.

Who knows what's going on with him?

He is the richest man between Vareggio and

Empoli.

This feather-striped duke makes Santa Croce the

poorest man between Vareggio and Empoli.

What, another new tax?

But no.

His goods are withdrawn because the Count is

not able to prove his property.

This is complicated.

But unfortunately important.

Santa Croce is a danger to us.

Because the people love her.

Are there no new verses?

You already know which ones I mean.

Of course, Your Highness.

Let me think.

What the Duke is singing now is not

for our taste.

That's why we want to suppress it.

Because it's always about the topic number one.

Very nice.

Go on, Laduck.

And he tells about a man who goes

to the women.

If possible, he takes the last fat substance

from the body and does it three times

a day.

So busy.

We missed you so much.

The next shot for my dear Duchess of

Lucca.

Very good, my little rooster.

It's a shame that you don't collect these

verses.

You know, that would give a new decameron.

I'll let it go through my head, Your

Highness.

But tell me, this young man from whom

the verses tell ...

He certainly lives in Lucca.

I would love to know who he is.

Your Highness, the mayor wants to speak to

you.

My, my.

Oh, excuse me.

This unheard event forces me ...

What event?

A new one.

Your leave of the Duchess of Lucca.

Another new tax?

Even worse.

The men of Lucca are not allowed to

beat their wives.

And what does it concern me?

Our most sacred marriage rights are violated.

You are right.

Why are you married?

But your grace is now the only one

who can oppose the will of the Duchess.

I don't think she would welcome me like

that.

The Santa Croce have always been the lords

of Lucca.

Show that, Your Highness.

Yes, maybe I can show you more.

Look at this.

I wouldn't have dared to do that at

your age.

What?

You look as cheerful as a young buck

in spring.

Me?

Cheerful?

Buck?

Why?

You know the secret of the famous Santa

Croce bed.

No.

The better a man is, the sooner the

figures on my bed turn into flesh and

blood.

No.

Yes, I'll prove it to you.

I'm not cool, not in my thoughts, not

in my feelings.

And this young woman's room here is as

hard and brittle as oak wood.

Now it's your turn.

You stroke the edges and I tell you,

you will experience your blue miracle.

A miracle.

I experienced a miracle.

I now know the secret.

I now know the secret of the famous

Santa Croce bed.

The secret of the famous Santa Croce bed.

That's just part of the secret.

Why don't you tell me?

What I wish is...

What?

To find the woman who doesn't want to

reveal this secret.

Now we have to be at the border

crossing soon.

What do you think, Susanne?

I'll bring this damn letter to this account

myself.

That's out of the question.

With the first uniform you catch along the

way, you'll crack and we'll be through.

It's unbelievable.

Because of you, there have always been the

biggest complications.

I ask you to give me the letter

now.

I gave my word that I would personally

hand over the letter to the account.

Report about the Marquis Hippolyte of Sèvres-Corniche.

He entered the house at midnight through a

secret door, and the noises are still terrible.

What you don't have in your head, you

have to get somewhere else.

Pippo?

Something new from the city?

The wife of the mayor was with me

tonight.

A moment.

Notify immediately, this is coming in the new

Decameron.

What do you hear about the new wine

tax?

The citizens are making and rebelling.

Good.

Very good.

Rebellion is always a good occasion.

It's finally time for Luca to roll up

his sleeves.

Has my order from yesterday been forwarded?

Of course.

Without delay.

At the borders, suspicious people are being held.

I want to be informed about everything.

We are actors.

And we are committed to Luca, do you

understand?

Yes, yes.

We want to go to Luca.

Yes, Luca.

Luca!

Yes, yes.

We're on our way to Luca, huh?

What's going on?

A load of artists on their way to

Luca.

Come on.

Come on.

Not him.

You there.

Oh no, I'm coming.

It's faster with me.

What does that mean?

Don't be afraid.

Forward.

THE DAY AFTER Hey, our papers.

You'll get them back right away, just as

the given customs duties are properly executed.

What do you mean, customs duties?

We have nothing to sue.

I'm the only one to decide that.

Oh, you probably also decide what kind of

fees are to be paid.

Yes, you guessed it.

Who is so beautiful can't afford to pay

enough.

With the rent in hand, you can get

through the whole country.

That also applies to the small border traffic.

Ah, a letter to the Countess Santa Croce.

However, that changes the situation enormously, my little

bird.

This is an extra post for your highness,

the Duchess of Lucca.

Directly from her fashion house in Paris.

We have an order to search everything, including

the extra post.

Can I be of any help to you?

Oh, very gallant of you.

This rascal wants to stop me.

Hey, the comedians are not allowed to cross

the border.

Pierre, pull in the papers.

Hey, what's that?

Where does he want to go with my

papers?

What are we going to do now?

I'll find out later.

Where are our documents?

We want to go to Lucca.

Quiet down there!

Before you go on, you'll all be checked.

No one will get through.

Unless we both find a solution.

If you continue to make difficulties, you force

me to increase the customs fees.

Do you want that?

How high is the simple fee?

I'll let you talk to me.

Afterwards.

Afterwards.

All right.

If I look at you like that, then

you must have a devilishly sweet currency.

So you think.

Pierre!

Robbery!

Help!

Robbery!

Where are you going?

Pierre!

Pierre!

Cardinal, they will not let you pass.

Go back to the barn where we stayed

overnight.

I'm going to Lucca.

Without me?

Pierre, where are you?

How long do we have to wait?

All right, we can go.

Yes.

Pierre, where are you?

How long do we have to wait?

I'm going to Lucca.

I'm going to Lucca.

If I could have done that, I would

have done it long ago.

I'm fed up, you scoundrels.

You ride with the document to Lucca to

Monsieur Laduc.

The woman has to be arrested.

What nonsense.

The new decameron.

When I was Governor in Gießen, the hosts

made me so impossible.

And, uh ...

We turn the same strategy against the Count.

We should kill him.

That's my specialty.

No, that's too arrogant.

What happens then with all my good stories

about him?

I beg you.

The story you have observed, we dress in

verse and print it for the citizens of

Lucca.

Famos, famos.

So they will learn everything about their glorious

Count.

That's right.

The citizens will turn against him and he

will lose his goods.

They will belong to me.

Us.

Us, of course.

It will be a man full of juice

and strength.

For the welfare of Lucca's citizenship.

He makes the women the most beautiful eyes

and the men the most handsome.

So I came to the tailor recently.

But where was the tailor?

She was not to be seen, because our

Count had something to do with her stuff.

My heart drops.

Quick, go to bed.

Phiametta, my darling.

You must hear this.

My remedy, my dear.

The heart drops.

This story is a fairy tale.

It's just delicious.

My dear, you don't have to hurry.

Otherwise you'll fall down the stairs again.

Take your time.

Your pulse is normal.

Listen.

He also has a bourgeois wife.

And she was very smart.

She lay in bed and screamed.

Because her husband was the elder.

He only served the customers.

What does that mean?

Horns mean that, my darling.

Wait a minute.

But the man came in at the wrong

time.

His wife started to scream.

Feel my heart beating.

Oh, darling, go back right away.

I need my drops.

Darling, go back and get me my drops.

Heart drops.

Yes, heart drops.

He behaves scandalously.

Doesn't he know that his wife has to

go to bed at noon?

Your grace, my compliments.

She is still young.

She has to be spared.

I'll show you who you're messing with.

Four mothers.

You know the new law.

Please, gentlemen.

Are you looking for something, Balthasar?

No, no, my dear.

I just thought...

It's all right.

Do you know about the secret of the

famous bed of Santa Croce?

Who doesn't know?

What?

You admit it?

Much worse.

I admit, I read the new Decameron.

So it wasn't you?

What wasn't me?

The women's room in front of which the

mayor fled.

When she stood naked, like nature created her,

on the floor of the bed.

I think it's regrettable that you don't even

know what your own wife looks like naked.

I demand an answer.

Please, convince yourself.

What do you want from me?

We would like to suggest your grace to

live out your preference for the beautiful sex

in a different way than before.

Yes, in a different way.

If possible, make it more useful for us.

What do you mean by that?

Well, that means that the queen can only

be influenced in one way.

Yes, very true.

In the right way.

I understand.

You want me to crawl into a Corsican

bed for you.

Whoever rules in this bed, rules in Lucca

as well.

In this bed, the taxes are raised, and

only where something is raised, it can be

lowered again.

You are insane.

What do I care about your taxes?

I have nothing to do with it.

Then you should do it for your kinship.

Kinship?

You have made yourself our most loyal brother

-in-law.

Keep it that way, brother-in-law.

Help us, brother-in-law.

Do it for our women, brother-in-law.

You owe us, brother-in-law.

Wait a minute.

Don't call me your brother-in-law.

Yes, putting horns on us, that's not art.

But putting yourself in bed with the queen

requires a real cook.

And putting yourself in bed with the dangerous

Saint-Laduck, that would impress us.

The queen's bed is still occupied.

Not yet.

Occupied.

Occupied.

Occupied by the Marquis Ippolit.

Yes, a bull of bravery and man's cooking

power.

Hugo, saddle my horse and bring Degen.

Your grace will not put yourself in danger

because of us.

I want to get to know this bull

of bravery and man's cooking power.

And besides, I want to see the queen's

bed from the inside.

Now you know the secret of the Santa

Croce bed.

The secret of the Santa Croce bed.

Very interesting.

Go on, Petronella.

I'm very curious.

The man of the beautiful baker, he called

him in a certain sense.

He jumped in.

But there was no state of the bread,

only little baker boys.

And there are another two dozen others.

Two dozen?

And all these escapades from one man?

My goodness.

Either everything is invented, or this man is

a miracle.

You wait up there.

I'll be right there.

I'll bring the hat box.

A little hengst without pasture.

Without pasture?

Your highness intends to give me the goods

of Santa Croce.

It's just a matter of a few days.

I would put it differently.

It's just a matter of a few nights.

Take care of yourself, Marquis.

This Santa Croce is a sharp blade.

Well, and?

I'll pierce him like a knight.

Stop!

These are new clothes.

Oh, I beg your pardon.

I bring the clothes from Paris for the

queen.

Oh, my dear Coralie.

Finally you're back.

What do you bring me from Paris?

Letters from your imperial brother.

Oh, I don't care about the letters, even

if they're from Napoleon.

I mean something else.

Clothes.

What's the latest fashion?

Oh, you'll be delighted.

It's so wonderful.

I'll show you.

Quickly, Coralie.

I'm so curious.

You were gone for too long.

Your highness, it is the last shrine in

Paris that the new creations are presented to

the ladies.

First, I'll show you a little afternoon dress,

which may be worn at night, under certain

circumstances.

The skirt is as transparent as the intentions

of the cavaliers that make you happy.

The width of the skirt gives you the

necessary freedom of movement at all occasions, day

and night.

This combination was designed by your couturier especially

for you.

Beautiful, Coralie.

I think your journey was worth it.

More than worth it, don't you think, Petronella?

I can't remember when I was so happy.

Have you ever been greeted by a stranger?

I doubt I'm as strange to you as

you think.

I see you are eagerly studying my life

story.

Your life story?

Oh, it's you!

So, may I ask what gives me the

honor of your early visit?

I want to talk to you.

I just want to inform you that a

Santa Croce neither lets his native country nor

his good reputation be touched by anyone.

And certainly not by this Corsican bandit.

This is hardly the right place to argue

with a woman.

The place that would be better suited is

unfortunately already occupied, as I heard.

Namely, by this sad figure in men's clothing.

Hippolyte de Cerf-Corniche.

This is an outrageous insult!

I demand...

I mean...

Revenge.

Good.

I accept your challenge.

Within the next hour, you will decide the

place...

the place...

next to the ruin.

See you soon.

Next to the ruin.

In an hour, then.

Goodbye, bandit.

Is that a man?

Hey!

Hey!

Nobody to be seen.

Ah, of course, the big one just gave

in, coward.

He's dead?

I didn't say anything about that.

Of course you didn't.

But I thought it would be better for

him to be dead, than for him to

make you guys fight over the bed.

As far as that is concerned, we'll have

to come up with something else to get

the goods.

The goods will be distributed in the bed.

Hm, I know.

That's the problem.

Are you impotent?

Don't say that word!

Since Gissen, it's been like that, Susan.

I don't think I can help you.

Pipo!

Bring the miracle cure, quick!

Quick, I said!

Celina!

I don't want to go to his bedroom.

All women who want to visit my lord,

want to go to his bedroom first.

That's understandable.

Not for me.

I just want to talk to him.

One doesn't exclude the other.

His bedroom is also his workroom.

Oh, it's a terrible mess here.

Is there no one here to clean up?

Why clean up?

I beg you, the Count is happy, and

when he's here, he's only in his workroom

anyway.

He won't be here so soon today.

He has a duel in the forest at

the old ruin.

A duel?

He'll handle that in no time.

He needs his strength for...

For his workroom.

I can imagine.

Please.

I hear him coming.

His horse.

Something must have happened to it.

Where is the old ruin?

On the way to the border, right hand

at the old pillar.

The miracle cure.

She will make the impossible possible.

If that's true, then I think I'll have

a miracle right away.

I still have to think about the magic

bullet.

It leaves me no peace that it is

behind the goods of Santa Croce.

You just have to be better than him.

Celina, show what you can do.

I have to reach it with my head.

The head is the wrong part of the

body.

The right one sits deeper.

As always.

The courier of customs is here and wants

to talk to you.

What does he want?

Your honor, comedians from Gießen want to arrive.

Never!

He's risking his head for me that they

don't do it.

Never!

What?

I remember that from the time when I

was governor of Gießen.

And that in my bed.

Elisa.

You are mistaken, my lord.

They wanted to kill me.

Where am I?

Neither in your castle in Lucca nor in

your study.

Who are you?

I'll tell you that when you're safe.

Scoundrels!

Be quiet!

If you're not quiet now, I'll have you

all arrested.

Order from Lucca.

The comedians are not allowed to cross the

border.

The documents are here.

And they belong to us.

We won't let them take them.

No!

And now she's gone.

Wait, Susanne.

Tonight you can experience something.

You'll see.

Typical, Andrea.

Soon he'll have the documents.

Soon is too late for us.

But we could do something now.

I can't pay you.

You have a loan with us.

We're used to bad payments.

We won't starve because of you.

What if you pay me later for the

work of my troops?

And now we're still at your service.

I can't promise you anything.

As long as my country is still occupied.

Shouldn't we find out who shot you first?

No, I don't want to involve you.

Don't your enemies think that you're dead?

You have to let them believe that.

Of course.

Then one day they'll betray themselves.

And if we provoke them?

I'm sorry, but I have to wash your

wounds.

You had a good guardian angel.

If only my brother were here.

He will be here.

Who are you?

Your brother, Andrea.

Your brother will be Luca.

I know why you're doing all this.

Really?

Then I don't need to explain it to

you.

Because you like this guy.

Yes, that's right, I like him.

But that's why I don't do it.

I just want us to get our money.

Because dead people don't pay.

Our selfless principal.

And how should it go on?

We're going to move in with Luca.

I as Andrea, could the Santa Croce.

And you as my Camadina.

Me as Camadina?

Never.

As a chamberlain.

But as a German chamberlain, that can be

a very good role.

Your grace, your trousers must be brushed urgently.

Pumpernickel has to play the knight and Füchsel

the steward.

But what do we do with the others?

What's the hurry?

We beg your pardon.

Could we stay with you until the bad

weather stops?

Of course, but why are you still on

the way?

We're going to the Jarmarkt, to Luca.

Once a year, all the servants in the

area meet at the Jarmarkt.

Jarmarkt in Luca.

Children, I have an idea.

Let's unpack our farmer's costumes.

Good.

Andrea!

Andrea!

Get on with it.

We're going to the Jarmarkt.

Stop!

Where are you going?

Stop on all fours.

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Who wants to stop a Santa Claus riding

in his boarding house, has to get up

early.

Don't you see?

I know that.

The Marquis Hippolyte is proud to have defeated

Enrico in a duel.

The Duke's smile.

If you don't come up with something soon,

you'll never get it out of your head.

The Marquis Failure.

Then we'll have to try something else.

Pippo will get it.

I won't give up yet.

I want

to know who told the secret of the

famous bed.

I only know this story from you.

Then you probably told it to Walter.

Eat a broom, if that's not

Andrea Santacroce.

The young Mr. Andrea.

Welcome home.

What does it look like here?

The Marquis Hippolyte is supposed to have killed

your brother in the duel.

I'm going to the side door, Ugo.

Yes.

Slowly.

It's heavy.

Let's go on.

Go.

Be careful.

Take him to the bedroom.

Susanne.

Everything works like a charm.

Jeremias.

I don't like it out of the role.

Yes, Your Grace.

I await your orders.

Let him clean up here.

Let him clean up immediately.

Your Grace.

His Grace is waiting for you in the

study.

Tell my brother I'm coming.

Susanne.

You're not going to the study of his

Grace.

Jeremias.

Follow my orders.

Ferdinand, darling.

Don't be afraid.

Did you forget that I'm his brother?

It's going to be cleaned up here.

Zigzag.

I don't want to find any more dust.

Calm down, Mr. Camadiner.

The talk between the two brothers will take

a while.

Your Grace,

you're confusing me again.

I'm neither Elisa nor am I a Corsican

bandit duke.

I'm not a bandit duke.

Who's talking about Elisa?

I'm talking about you, Susanne.

My name is Andrea.

Countess Santa Croce de Luca.

You don't have to pretend to be a

comedian.

We're among us.

But you hired me as a comedian.

If you want to remember.

In a bookstore?

No, that won't work.

Why not, my child?

I can't read.

That's not necessary.

You must have other qualities.

That must be in the family.

My sister got twins from her husband.

You don't have to worry about us.

My husband hasn't even finished a little bookseller.

He reads too much.

She looks like she can't count to three.

I've never counted.

And how do you keep up with the

men?

I'm so inexperienced, I always close my eyes.

We could understand each other.

If you close your eyes in the future.

I can't help you.

I can't keep quiet like the straw bag

of your bed.

The straw bag of my bed?

I hope you see that the straw bag

of your bed doesn't tell stories in your

garden in which it doesn't appear.

She'll wash your shirts and pants.

Also the ones of the blessed Lord?

Why not?

Oh no, I'm afraid.

The devil is in the men's pants.

You shouldn't say that too loudly.

The men could take it as a compliment.

Aquilio Polit?

Lady, sir.

What can I do for you?

Is this the palace of Santa Croce?

Yes, Your Highness, it is.

Can you tell me what happened to the

Count?

I...

I taught him a lesson.

He's dead or fled, Your Highness.

He won't bother you anymore.

To be honest, I don't feel bothered by

him.

Royalty!

Oh, thank you.

Rely on it.

I still have to play Andrea.

My shoulder.

For a second time, I didn't fall for

it.

We should rather think about who could have

a reason to kill you.

And I think Faste is only to be

found at the court of the Duke.

Isn't it...

Isn't it more important for you to find

out the secret of Santa Croce's bed?

I don't think there's any secret.

Your Highness.

Just so you know, I don't like kissing.

And to be kissed by a man without

a shave would be an insult to me.

The Duchess...

The Duchess is on her way to the

palace.

She will not enter it.

Are you afraid of her?

Of a woman?

Tell me, what do you think of me?

You're asking me?

I can tell you that.

No, I'd rather not.

But listen carefully.

Leave your fingers to Susanne.

Or she'll have to deal with me.

Who are you?

What are you doing?

Are you her father?

The young lord...

Your brother is going to meet the lord.

Susanne!

Hugo!

Bring me my shaving cream.

Would you please do me a favor?

With pleasure.

If your highness would have the honor to

show me the man who killed my brother.

Killed him in a duel.

But yes.

It was the Marquis de Servcorniche, monsieur.

What's that?

Thank you.

I suggest we postpone the revenge until you're

all dry.

Hugo?

Where's my shaving cream?

Bring me some water.

It's almost ready.

You're getting carried away by this bloody Casanova.

You're just jealous.

Jealous?

Of this born nobody?

They all want one thing from you.

Even the duke is running after you.

Why not?

I think she's crazy about me.

Ferdinand.

Your highness, I expected you this afternoon for

tea.

It's an honor.

To be honest, I didn't expect anything else.

You're handsome.

I like you.

That's enough.

Tell your lords my thanks.

I'm coming.

But only if I want to.

Susanne, don't push it too far.

The people in Lucca know Andrea better than

you.

Your grace, your grace.

Welcome home, your grace.

And our deepest condolences for the truly painful

loss.

Unfortunately, Unfortunately...

No audience today.

Tomorrow.

Hop, hop, zigzag.

Our request is urgent.

Yes, and above all, to see to what

extent your highness the duke was impressed by

your grace.

Your grace should forge the iron as long

as it's still sharp.

Tomorrow.

It's still sharp enough.

Hop, hop, zigzag.

It is, so to speak, a favor of

your blessed brother.

Yes, he promised to take the duke into

his hands.

I mean, to take the matter into his

hands.

He promised to take the duke into his

hands in order to control our fate.

In order to control our fate.

Hugo!

I want to have my shaving cream now.

Your friend's brother is being soaked outside.

What's going on out there?

What's going on out there?

You demand from him, from her, he should,

she should be the beloved, the beloved of

the duke.

My brother seems to have driven you quite

well lately, as I hear.

If your grace reads this verse in the

ninth chamber.

You're right.

Why do you let your women offer you

that?

What are we supposed to do?

We're not even allowed to beat our women

anymore.

You should do the same with the same.

Oh, careful.

I don't know.

Your grace has imagined this so easily in

her youth.

It's enough if you give your maids money

so that they act as if they had

a relationship with you.

You should see how tame your women become.

First of all, make order in your own

bed of marriage.

The duke's bed is left to me.

I'll be done with it.

Order in bed of marriage?

Yes.

Very good.

Yes.

Thank you very much.

Oh, zigzag.

Outstanding.

Dorin, Bertha and Agatha are working in their

houses.

Pumpernickel, inform them immediately.

Yes, principal.

And you forget the duke.

On the contrary.

Tonight I'm going to her.

To whom?

To your hotly loved Corsican bandit duke.

I will accompany you.

Tonight.

Tonight?

The Marquis has thought it over and has

fallen asleep.

And tomorrow this Santa Croce will lie next

to your bed.

And this juice here works?

And whether it works, you will see.

Your pants are getting too tight.

How long?

A drop works a minute.

Come on, my little one.

Just a drop.

No, no.

I want to try it.

Come on, Celina.

But quickly.

Two, three.

Ten minutes.

That should be enough for me.

Your highness, the duke would like to ask

for the deed of the Count of Santa

Croce.

For the deed?

For the deed?

We will have that right away.

The deed of the deed of the goods

of the...

Of course.

What else?

You have pretty buttons here.

Come on, help me look for it.

Celina!

Celina!

Celina!

Celina!

I think she is leaving now.

She has a very strange look.

Celina, for heaven's sake!

Wait for me, I have an emergency.

Oh, my skirt!

Leave it, it will come off again.

But I beg you, where should the deed

be?

I want to show it to you right

now.

You just have to help me a little.

Coralie!

Coralie!

Her highness is looking for you.

I have the feeling she is completely confused.

Hurry up!

Oh, my dear.

I dreamed you would have embraced me.

Is that true?

I was alone with you and I...

I could show you my result.

No, no!

No!

No!

Hurry up!

Get undressed!

Too bad.

Now I have spilled the last drops.

No, that should never happen.

Help!

Imagine, I want to show him his pharmacy

in the next few days so that his

wife gets jealous.

Hopefully, it's a big pharmacy.

Stottern can sometimes be very attractive.

What do you think I'm going to do

with my mayor in the next few days?

Have you heard what Thorin experienced with the

bookseller?

My cherry coin, my tender peach skin, my

firm apple cup.

This fruit meal should be completed by two

red raspberries.

I am convinced that we will also find

them by hard work wherever they may be

hidden.

Yes.

Lanou, eat something.

Bad mood, my love?

These are beautiful stories to me.

This is really a beautiful story that your

husband tells.

Yes.

About cherry, apples, raspberries.

A beautiful story.

Oh, you nasty lustful mouse!

I don't know why you're getting upset.

I'm reading what's written here.

It's from Boccaccio.

It's about fruits.

Yes, these are exactly the fruits that Gnusma

gets twins for.

Twins?

I don't want to see you anymore, you

shabby whore!

Look for your fruit somewhere else!

Wait a minute, she doesn't have any here.

Come down, she's up there.

What?

And I can only tell you one thing.

Yes?

If you have an appetite for berries and

plums, go eat at home.

So, gladly.

Come with me.

Sweetheart.

My appetite is...

Sweetheart.

So, I have to tell you, sweetheart.

Imagine, Angelina has...

Sweetheart.

My supplement, the Arcanum.

I'm in a hurry.

You don't need to hurry.

Take your time, otherwise you'll fall over the

stairs.

Just take your time.

Tell me, why should I take my time

with the drops?

It's already dark and the stairs are steep.

Or maybe because of that.

What are you looking for down there?

I wanted to buy a straw, but maybe

I'm missing something.

I could have guessed that.

Get out of here!

You're looking for another straw, you...

So, now I'm going to find out if

you really need a supplement.

Four meters.

Four meters.

Look!

I really don't need anything.

Oh, she's coming.

No!

Not the devil!

Not the devil!

I'm afraid of the devil!

No!

Oh, I've finally got you!

By the way, where were you, my dove?

Here, in my woman's room.

No human soul.

You're dreaming.

No, Mayor!

No!

No!

Have you forgotten something, my child?

But someone screamed here.

You must be tired, my dove.

Go to bed.

Ah!

Ah!

Why do I have such fear, Mayor?

Such fear of the devil.

I'm not tired!

Then you're hearing ghosts, my love.

Soon you'll see some of them.

And maybe they'll believe there's a naked girl

What's wrong?

Didn't you see that?

There was a file in your old file

cabinet.

You're confusing me.

I swore there was someone in front of

him.

Let's go.

Where to?

To bed, my dove.

Good night, my love.

What's this?

Good night, my love.

Where did you come Without the juice.

The things will be ready soon!

I'll get you some new juice.

Slowly!

It's too early.

The doctor isn't in his bed yet.

So tell me, Coralie, I'm so curious.

What did Conte say?

He said he would come, but he decides

the time.

Such a shamelessness.

But it impresses me.

My nightgown.

Coralie, did you hear anything?

How long do I have to beg before

I get my nightgown?

The Marquis asked where his nightgown was.

Tell him it's on his bed.

In the south wing, where the Marquis will

spend the night.

Alone.

What?

Susanne, give it up.

It's hella madness.

I allow the Marquis to withdraw.

Hopefully he won't fall down again.

The new brush from Paris, Coralie.

Right away.

You have to distract the courtesans.

Something like that is too much for you.

Excuse me.

What are you doing here?

I beg your pardon, but...

my heart has been in flames for you

since yesterday at the border.

I just couldn't help it.

Oh.

I see you were able to keep your

word.

A Santa Croce has never let a beautiful

woman wait.

A sympathetic quality.

But where is Coralie?

I sent her to bed.

I will treat her with respect.

Oh.

I'm sorry.

I see you understand each other on hair.

I have been able to gain enough experience.

So young?

And so much experience?

Madame, I would like to talk to you

about my brother.

Why not?

Come with me.

Come on.

Come on.

I wanted to talk to you first and

nothing more.

We also want to talk, but I think

in bed you get a better result.

But...

conversations in the horizontal have usually only one

topic.

Should this topic be too dangerous for a

Santa Croce?

There is no topic that a Santa Croce

should fear, neither vertically nor horizontally.

So.

New attempt.

Isn't that too much?

We're going for a safe number.

No.

That's the wrong one.

No, no.

That's the right one.

No.

As it stands, this is the right one.

No.

It can't have been the Ruhlkopf Hippolyte.

So who was it?

Do you really think I'm dealing with men

to destroy?

In a way, yes.

Let's try if we mean the same way.

Your Majesty, I will allow myself to inform

your sister.

Your Majesty...

Let her go, but quickly.

Pardon me, Your Grace.

His Majesty the King of Sicily.

My brother Joseph, wait for me.

Joseph.

What brings my brother to Lucca?

Elisa.

Didn't you receive the message from Napoleon?

But yes, I have.

Coralie brought it from Paris.

But I didn't have time to read it

yet.

You didn't have time to read it?

He's asking us to have an urgent family

meeting.

Explain it to me tomorrow, dear brother.

Petronella, the blue room for his royal wedding.

I can't stay here.

You're going with me to Gießen right now.

Standard.

Standard.

I am Sönner Dück, your slave and your

master.

I will introduce you as my students to

the great secrets of the art of love.

Please, a sign.

A small sign of your art.

Oh, I beg you, my queen, I can't

do this anymore.

I deserve this.

I deserve what I want.

I have earned it a thousand times.

Who destroyed it?

Who destroyed this despicable enemy, Santa Croce?

I did.

Well, then.

Whose new decameron is it?

It's mine.

But at first, I only achieved his moral

destruction.

But then I arranged his funeral and had

it carried out.

I, Laduck, Santa Croce, dead.

Fini.

All for you.

For the queen of my unstoppable longing.

Oh, I can't take it anymore.

Have mercy on me.

I have to prove my love to you.

No, you?

The governor of Gießen.

Susanne, the hostess of the name.

Laduck.

Pippo, hold her.

Hold her tight.

If she speaks to the queen, we are

lost.

We are lost.

Laduck, what is it?

Oh, I heard that someone had the audacity

to enter your queen's bedroom.

But where is he?

Escaped, I suppose.

This man is a danger.

I suddenly have the feeling that the queen

is in danger.

There is a danger, and I like to

deal with it sometimes.

I understand.

I should inform you about this man.

Later, Laduck.

You should pack, because we are traveling in

an hour.

Traveling?

Where to?

To Westphalia.

We meet the emperor.

You must accompany me, Sir Laduck, because I

need your advice.

Coralie, Petronella.

Quickly to the tower with her.

The others are in the castle at Santa

Croce.

Quickly.

Horrible.

No.

Let me go.

Let me go.

What do you want, you witch?

I'll get you.

Let me go.

What did you say?

You haven't seen me for a long time.

Let me go.

Come with me.

We go to the palace of Santa Croce.

For comedians there is still enough space in

the tower.

You are waiting for nothing, Your Grace.

Susanne is in prison.

And what you hear there is the palace

guard who arrests the comedians.

No, Your Grace.

We won't help Susanne with that.

But we have to do something.

I don't think Your Grace will look at

our performance in the Talavera Monastery.

What does that mean?

This is a game in which only monks

and nuns will perform.

To your well-being.

This is a very special game that we

have to perform in the evening.

I only ask you to do what I

tell you to do afterwards.

Otherwise, the vote is at risk.

I understand.

And I'm very curious.

The costumes, venerable brother.

Give them to me, venerable mother.

You may be right, Saint-Laduc, if you

stay here.

Besides, you have every right.

Thank you.

I think there is a lot to be

done in Lucca.

Elisa.

I'll be right there, Joseph.

I think everything is in good hands with

you.

Live well, Laduc.

Alright.

Everything ready?

Ho!

The comedians are all invited.

Laduc is waiting for us in the tower.

Parole.

My son.

Today, prisoners have been brought here.

Yes, just now, venerable mother.

We have to give them spiritual support, my

son.

But that's only possible with a pass.

We have that, my son.

It's so dark here, I don't know if

I can...

Come in with me.

So, the horses.

The nurse came to the prison, because she

didn't fit Lord Laduc.

She didn't take it so important, whether wood

or hard stone.

With her, you're always right.

Do you have all of them?

Not a single one is allowed to escape.

No reason to get so worked up.

Get worked up?

They know me from Gießen.

They were the reason I had to flee.

Is this guy here, too?

Here.

I'm here.

When I say, when this guy is around,

oh...

He's heavy.

He's the old governor of Gießen.

Are you sure?

If I come back to Lugar, he can

experience something.

We have to follow him.

I heard that he is riding with the

duke.

No.

Oh no.

That's not possible.

They are gone.

Escaped.

No one is left.

Follow them.

If they reach the duke in front of

us, we are all lost.

Quick.

Now I can see it.

Quiet.

Be quiet.

Be quiet for heaven's sake.

The whole Gießen is full of soldiers.

Of course, because he wants to invade a

country again.

He wants to invade Austria.

What do you have to do with it?

And what should the lord down there think?

The lord thinks that we should blow up

the dead grave of Europe like a steel

lantern.

Has he already arrived?

Not yet, your grace.

But it has been announced that he wants

to welcome the people in the castle at

noon.

What?

The duke of Lugar has already arrived.

Good.

Come on, let's go.

I have a bill to settle with this

lady.

We should compare the bill with Bonaparte.

What do you think of noon if he

shows up?

That would be the best opportunity.

You have all gone mad.

Angsthase.

They will learn from you that we are

on our side.

Oh, they should.

Quiet for the thunderstorm.

This time we will catch them.

I'm sure.

There is a ditch over there.

The so-called Wirtshaus an der Lahn.

They will definitely turn in there.

Listen, I will go to the duke before

she can talk to the emperor.

I'm slowly getting fed up.

We do the hard work and you seal

the salon.

We are there.

You still have to show me this one

trap.

Susanne.

I love

you.

I like to hear that.

And you should also get to know the

secret of Santa Croce.

Yes.

I would like to know what it's like

to be seduced by a famous Casanova.

Come and show me how you open a

meadow and whisper tenderness to me.

How you open a belt and drop the

skirt without me noticing.

And then, last but not least, the big

piece of art with the helmet.

That you have to stroke over the head.

And then, when you have become completely helpless

and weak, the longed-for moment when both

bodies finally meet.

Stop it, have you gone crazy?

No, Enrico.

But the thought is impossible.

Why?

Well, a man doesn't do all this if

he really loves a woman.

I just wanted to hear that, Enrico.

You know, I'm going to forget it all.

My palace in Lucca, the Duke and my

revenge.

I'm going to belong to you now.

With whom will I have to share you?

With no one.

I only belong to you alone.

But your pride, your longing for honor, your

desire for adventure, what about it?

I'm going to chase them all to hell.

I'm going to kill him.

Ferdinand!

Those are the two from Lucca, aren't they?

Haven't I met the two gentlemen somewhere before?

That's quite possible.

Those are the two who arrested us in

Lucca.

I'd like to take care of it.

There was

a count in hand.

But he never came to sleep.

And when it seemed to go, he'd rather

fight.

I can't understand that.

Bravo!

Bravo!

Just like the two of them.

Especially Napoleon.

He'll have to believe it this afternoon.

Is Napoleon here?

Yes, yes.

Then he won't survive today.

And for us it will be the hour

of liberation.

Ah, the Buddha!

That's my talisman.

Put it there on the table.

I don't want anyone to touch it.

But be careful.

It's a very precious figure and a very

fond memory for me.

Close the curtains.

Rohit, a visitor.

He wants to speak to you urgently.

Napoleon?

So soon?

No, the Count of Santa Croce.

Oh, I'll let him ask.

Get out of here now!

Your Rohit asks to see you.

Andrea?

Rohit, here are the documents on the possession

of Santa Croce.

Bring them to me.

Thank you.

But Andrea, the documents are not in such

a hurry.

I'll let you know if your Rohit needs

you.

I have to go to your place.

I have news from Lugar.

You don't have to go.

I'll wait.

I have time.

It will take a while.

Would you like something to drink?

Yes.

Oh, yes.

The resistance is organized.

Napoleon is to be shot.

As soon as he shows up on the

balcony of the palace.

That's his idea.

Of course it's his idea.

Only a Santa Croce can come up with

such a stupid idea.

This time he will break his neck.

Ferdinand!

Ferdinand?

Yes.

I don't want him to break his neck.

So you love him.

Don't expect me to help you.

Ferdinand!

Today we play a piece from the Stegreif.

The murder of the Count of Santa Croce.

And our audience?

Before his Majesty Napoleon I, the Emperor of

France.

Are you crazy?

No, I know exactly what I'm saying.

Get ready.

The performance will take place this afternoon.

Susanne!

Yes.

They are here.

Who?

The women and girls of the men who

want to shoot Napoleon.

What do you have to do with them?

Come on.

Listen, you know exactly what your men and

friends are up to.

Yes.

And I hope you know that this madness

will cost your men their heads.

Gießen is full of occupation troops.

There is only one way to prevent the

disaster.

But you all have to be extremely determined

to do so.

If your men and your friends really love

you more than these senseless attempts, then we

all have to go to the terrace this

afternoon when Napoleon...

Elisa, where are you?

Of course.

In bed.

I have to talk to you, Elisa.

Shall I get you out of bed?

One moment, brother.

I'm almost done.

You are simply irresponsible.

Jérôme is making a fool of himself here

in Westphalia.

Joseph is hardly to be found in Sicily.

And you are turning Luca into a nest

of love.

A brothel!

Oh, how can an emperor say such an

ugly word?

I have given you instructions.

Take close contact with the nobility of the

country.

There is no closer contact than I have

with you.

I don't know if we both understand the

same thing under contact.

I demand a satisfactory cooperation.

No more.

Me too.

You must not fall behind now.

You must always be aware of what is

happening behind your back.

I am very aware of what is happening

behind my back.

But then, until the last consequence.

Until the last consequence.

I intend to make you the Grand Duchess

of Tuscany.

And you say that as if you were

talking about a death sentence.

When was the last time you laughed?

Whoever makes me laugh, he can have what

he wants from me.

Susan!

Oh, you little comedian rat, you were actually

faster than me.

But that won't help you.

You fell into the trap.

Stop!

Stand still!

Stay here!

This is your end, you little refined whore,

you.

Hey, what do you think you're doing?

Now the curtain goes down.

Are you crazy?

I was never as clear as I am

today.

Now I want what you didn't refuse the

other one.

What do I have?

Get undressed.

Pardon?

It's your last chance.

Oh, I see.

You're different now.

Oh, how nice.

Let's hurry before it's too late.

Come on,

get undressed.

Now!

Now!

then the naked truth must jump right into

his eyes.

You were wonderful!

Your Majesty, please.

I thank you.

The most original greeting I have ever experienced.

But I would still like to know what's

behind it.

If Your Majesty allows, we will explain it

to you in a comedy.

She understands something about diplomacy.

She plays a comedy to tell you the

truth.

May I ask Your Majesty to quote Monsieur

Saint-Laduc?

Who are the main actors of your comedy?

A young nobleman and a scoundrel of the

common people.

The boy is lying!

The boy is a womanizer!

I can assure you that I know that

better, Laduc.

Which of the two is the scoundrel?

This scoundrel.

And he was the one who gave the

order to kill the young man's brother.

What?

My brother is dead?

It's all a lie!

Forgive me, Your Majesty.

This is a conspiracy against me.

This is a bunch of dirty comedians...

What happened to my brother?

Nothing, nothing at all.

Not the least bit.

Your actors are exaggerating.

Especially the scoundrel.

But Your Majesty, I beg you, the game

hasn't even started yet.

Now it's starting.

And now...

I summon the spirit of the dead Enrico...

Conte Santa Croce de Luca...

He's not even on stage yet.

...and order him to appear and enter through

this door.

No.

That can't be done.

He should just get a little note.

Who wanted to take advantage of Santa Croce?

I did.

I have to admit, I don't want to

deny it, but...

And who wrote the new Decameron?

Oh, me too.

And who was deposed as a deceitful governor

of his office in Giesen?

Over.

I hope, Your Majesty, our comedy has amused

you.

What should be revealed with this general revelation?

You know it, Your Majesty.

And I know it.

Isn't that enough?

Don't we want to make use of it,

Your Majesty?

One moment, I remember very well what you

said earlier.

Who would make you laugh?

It's easier to command an entire army...

It was worth it again.

Lucca was a real deal.

And what's next?

Don't ask, Föxl.

Always follow your nose.

There the horse will go in a hurry...

...to new adventures.

She drives it into the distance...

...and if you have a lot of drive...

...then you drive it often and gladly.

THE END
