So, it's only your imagination, not the way she really looks? What great art! How dare you insult our princess? No painter's brush could imitate such perfection! Without her we all would perish. - Who would perish? - Artists, poets, actors. We who serve the fine arts would've been dead of hunger. She has a sense of beauty, she has taste, generosity... She's like the warmth of the sun. I'm not impressed either by riches or renown. The only thing I prize is creativity. I feel I can expect this from you. Do something wondrous, something fantastic. I'll try to. So you'll be one of the contestants? Then I'll sign you up under number... 97. What form of art are you in? Singing or... Let it be a surprise. Wasn't there someone who cancelled out of a better place? Oh, I remember now! The chivalric romance writer is still working on his 3rd volume. He'll finish all the 10 volumes only by your golden anniversary. That makes you number six. To put it better, number one on the second hand. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. Our Master of Ceremonies will see to it. I want to see you the winner. I think I've found the real thing. Today, my soul rejoices. I'll see all that's most wondrous, most fantastic in the whole world. Today I'll choose the winner worthy to reign in my heart. And on the throne. You're all loved equally. Let the losers be not discouraged. And now, Knights of Beauty, the tournament will begin! He who does the most fantastic will marry the Princess. First on our list... Poetry. Just a second... My gambling debt... First draft... Fragments... Scraps... My poem couldn't be lost! Part One! Madam, I'm Adam! How laconic! How melodic! How artistic, yet surrealistic! Abundant in notion and full of emotion. Shall we hear Part Two? Oh, my future Queen! Read my poem from right to left! Madam, I'm Adam! Fantastic! You can read it forwards and backwards. You're a virtuoso! You've got the magic touch! I'm at a loss for words. This aroma... His poem is so short, and life is long. Will his talent be sufficient for a whole lifetime together? We'll think about it. In the meantime I hereby name you our court poet. Pantomime is next. Stand up. Your love is not hopeless. He got poisoned by love. He is unconscious. But the ring was empty. However, his heart was overfilled. He was a genius. Arts call for sacrifice! How cruel. Now we come to number four. Painting! Take the veil off. Your Highness, it's painted. This is fantastic! What mastery of art! What a powerful stroke! - What use of color! - It's incredible! You flattered me. Princess, you're so beautiful! The painter's brush is powerless to convey your charm. I painted your portrait and kept talking to you. I must confess I've fallen madly in love with you! You're more in love with your work than with the original. That love does you honour, I won't dare compete with it. Love your paintings well. And I shall open a palace academy of fine art and shall name you its first president. You're right, Princess. Kings die, but art is forever. Number five. Ballet! You'll be my permanent dancing partner. Where has he gone? He's going to dance around the world and will be back in two years. What a pity. Number six. Here we are for a secret. And secrets are always appealing. I need your help, Princess. That is the most fantastic, the most incredible thing the world has ever seen! But I still have 91 numbers left! We withdraw! This is the most incredible thing. My little princess. WANTED A PRINCESS Come in, traveller. My boy! - Father. - My son. Thank God you're alive and well... As for the princess... we'll do without one. We're happy you're back, Your Highness. You say you're happy? Yes, your father and mother, and everyone who lives here. - Who is she? - Don't you remember her? Just before you left she came to our door.
