talk to the Princess.
- I know what to tell her.
- My answer is "no".
I'm having one of my dits
of stubbornness.
Am I a King or not?
First Minister, you draw dirst.
- Alas!
- Thank god!
There's no cross here.
Why did you say "alas",
you idiot?
Quiet!
Your turn, my lady.
- I have to go!
- Congratulations!
And may your soul rest
in peace.
Show me that paper.
You liar!
Look at these people!
All they know is how to
cheat on their King.
Next!
- Next!
- What are you shouting for?
Draw the lot!
What are you doing?
Are you crazy?
Open your eyes,
the hat is right here.
Alas, no cross.
How unfortunate!
- Next!
- Come on, show me that.
- What?
- Give me that scrap of paper.
- No cross?
- No.
- What's this then?
- You call that a cross?
Nonsense! This is not a cross?
This looks more like an "X".
No, this is not an "X",
it is your lot.
Go ahead.
Your Majesty!
Be reasonable. What do you want
me to risk my life for?
For a whim, for some kind of
a stupid prejudice?
For love!
What love?
Did you see it?
Don't be selfish and
don't keep us waiting.
When a smuggler crosses a
canyon clinging to a perch,
or a merchant sails across the
ocean in a frail boat,
that is understandable,
that is noble.
These people are making money.
But what's there for me
in this?
What you call love, my lady,
can be a lot of fun and
a little absurd.
- But to risk my life!
- Shut up, you despicable fool!
Tell her not to abuse
me.
What are you staring at me!
As if you really believe
what you're saying.
I've seen enough of
noble sufferers,
and the torturers of
human souls.
They push the deceived fools
to their sure death.
It is them who invented
love!
There is no such thing as
love, Your Majesty!
Trust the word of an
experienced man.
All right, you said your
dinal word.
Now go. Don't expect me
to pardon you.
Go, or I'll shoot you myself.
Why did I listen to him!
Now he awakened the aunt
in me.
The one who could be easily
convinced by anyone.
The poor thing was married
18 times,
not to mention fleeting
affairs.
Maybe love doesn't exist
after all?
Maybe the Princess is suffering
from a case of severe angina?
- Your Majesty.
- Shut up!
You are an honorable and
devout woman.
Let us listen to the
young.
You...
Beat it.
For good.
May his soul rest in peace.
- She may have missed!
- Never! She's my student!
Quiet! I personally am happy.
My daughter behaves
like all normal people.
She's feeling low, and
she starts shooting around.
She missed!
- Why are you still alive?
- Because I fired that shot.
That's right.
- Who at?
- At the Princess.
Oh, she's alive, don't worry.
Hey you! Get me an executioner's
block and a shot of Vodka.
Vodka for me, the rest for him!
Move it!
Not so fast.
Listen here, father.
The princess is my
diance.
He's crazy.
Not in the least!
Tell me everything,
or I'll kill you!
I like to tell about
deals,
that worked out fine.
I go there, I open the door
And wait to be shot at.
I don't want to die,
just like anyone else.
So I stand there,
I stand and I think,
I think something like that:
Now is my hour of death.
And life is so good,
Oh, so good,
And I don't want to die,
Just like anyone else.
The girl jumps up,
She rushes to the door,
I grab at my gun,
And I fire a shot at her.
What was I to do?
I dire at her,
At the sweet little lady,
Because of the circumstances,
Not out of spite.
She didn't shake,
She didn't shiver,
But instead she said
In her gentle voice...
I said to myself that I will
Marry anyone who comes dirst,
I don't really care who.
So you have come dirst,
She said.
Yes, that's what she said
To me, the sweet girl.
You are the dirst one I see,
And I am yours forever.
And in the midst of
All that fire and smoke
I planted a kiss on her
tender lips.
Please stop, or I will
kill you.
No problem! They already
tried to kill me today.
- And look what happened!
- One hell of a mess!
