know. Go ahead.
Since then I have been unable
to eat...
To drink or sleep!
Yes, I know. Make it short.
My kingdom is very small,
but you can find it on the map.
Here is a map
and a magnifying glass.
And as a gift, I brought you
my most precious possessions.
This rose will never fade.
And this nightingale has
the sweetest voice in the world.
Come on, little one, sing.
- What are they made of?
- They are real!
Some presents!
And you call yourself a suitor!
-You probably never went to school.
- I finished it with all "A"s.
I'm not going to marry you!
Is that clear? Go!
- You need a good spanking!
- I'd like to see you try!
We've fallen so low!
I have to be my own lackey.
Everything's been mortgaged,
the Crown is penniless.
The King has to open his own door.
What must the neighbors think.
- Why do you open it?
- To let in a rich suitor!
It's your idea, Papa!
I don't want to get married.
An egoist!
lnstead of thinking of my best
interests, you think about yours.
What do you have against
that nice prince?
I don't like him.
Can you understand?
I don't like him either.
But his kingdom isn't that small
seen through the magnifying glass.
It would have tided us over
till next pay day.
All right, come on. Go on.
A suitor to see Your Highness!
There. They don't take back
the empties.
What shall we do now?
That's your worry. I'm not going
to work without pay.
Traitor!
Are you abandoning your King?
History will remember you
as a traitor.
The doorman has quitted, too.
The whip!
Leave the whip.
Now I'll have to drive the carriage
and repair the doors...
A suitor to see Your Highness!
No more suitors.
Enough, I won't work overtime.
You're the brightest star
to behold.
Your sons,
my gratitude.
- What are you doing, lackey?
- I'm your Papa!
He doesn't understand.
Show the prince to the door.
You're a fool! You're mad!
What a great suitor!
A handsome, rich foreigner!
You're ready to marry me to
a cannibal, as long as he's rich.
Oh, Papa, aren't you ashamed?
I'm ashamed to be a poor king.
If I had money,
I'd be rich and noble.
Sorry, I can't afford to be noble.
It's hateful to be poor.
Want a biscuit?
- Poppy seed biscuit?
- Yes, poppy seed.
Zero, plus zero,
plus another zero,
multiplied by zero,
still equals zero.
Fake.
- Have you gone crazy?
- It's today's fashion.
You've ruined your last skirt.
On the contrary, now I'll have
two skirts instead of one.
Next season that will be the rage.
- A suitor?
- That's right, Your Majesty!
A little gift for the bride.
- Gold?
- What d'you think?
Wow!
You're indeed a suitor!
Chop his head off, Papa.
He's the type who argues.
I have no use
for his silly present.
Silence! You'll marry him,
and no later than today!
Stay there and bill and coo.
I'll be right back.
Beat it from here.
You're a spoiled brat.
But I love you anyway.
And I don't love you!
Get out!
Very well.
I was just going anyway.
But remember one thing:
when I fall in love, it's for life.
So you have no other choice
but to fall in love with me.
- No way!
- See you soon!
Where's the suitor?
I heated some water for tea.
I turned your suitor out.
Go get him and apologize.
Tell him you're sorry.
I am not!
Then I'll never speak to you again!
I'll never speak to anyone!
Until you're married,
I'll be as mute as a fish!
Let everything be a mess
and our realm go down the drain...
You won't be able
to hold your tongue!
- Just wait...
- You see?
It's the best inn.
Mister Soldier, you owe us
six ducats for the music.
You'll get all the gold you want,
enough to fill up your drums!
Hurray for the soldier!
This is funny...
I guess I spent it all.
I'll borrow some from my friends.
Hey, friends!..
Take them, they're solid gold.
Thank you.
Who's going to pay
for the clothes we made?
- There he is! Swindler!
- No good rogue!
Papa, what's that smell?
It smells like smoke.
You threw your cigar
in the waste
