• Giacomo : A thousand apologies for this intrusion, but may I beg shelter and warmth from this miserable storm?

  Jean : Who are you?

  Giacomo : A stranger in this land, young woman, but not for long. I am Giacomo of the continent, the king's new jester.

  Jean : The court jester?

  Hawkins : Giacomo?

  Giacomo : Giacomo the incomparable! King of jesters and jester of kings!

  Jean : Well, where are you from?

  Giacomo : Most recently, the Italian court, but I've entertained in all the courts of Europe and speak a ready wit in their every tongue.

  Jean : Hawkins, we are indeed honored that our humble hut should shelter one who tomorrow will be an intimate of the king.

  Hawkins : With access to his chambers.

  Jean : But how will they know you? Are you sure that no one at the castle has ever seen your face?

  Giacomo : Not yet, but I assure you, ere another sun has set, the entire court of England will succumb to the charm, wit, and song of the Incomparable Giacomo, king of jesters...

  Jean : [knocking him out]  And jester to the king.
