and I want to see her.
As you wish.
You helped me out, and I wanted
to do something good for you,
but I see it's hopeless.
So be it then.
Halt! Or I'll shoot!
Come back here, I said!
Special delivery.
I'm going to bed.
- Who are you?
- A soldier.
I'm sure I've never seen you,
yet I have a feeling we've met.
I guess I dreamed of you
in some dream or other.
- Say something.
- Do you mind if I smoke?
Go ahead. And let me have a puff,
while Papa's not around.
Girls shouldn't smoke.
Especially a pipe.
Why not? Just one puff...
What time is it? Time to get up?
Aha, I see...
What can I do for you?
Nothing at all.
False alarm.
I wanted to light up, you see?
That's not what that flint
and steel are for.
- Here, you may have them.
- Thank you.
What a nice old geezer.
Who is he?
An acquaintance.
- He's a magician, really.
- That's what I thought.
Do you know
you're being spied on?
Look.
- He's my bodyguard.
- He'll report to the king.
Then you should send him
straight to the devil.
As you wish,
but it's not the best way out.
- Send him to the devil?
- Yes.
So be it.
On your marks.
Get set... and go!
Every night he's on guard
outside my bedroom,
and he snores like a trooper.
I'm not interested.
See you later.
- How did you get here?
- I don't remember anything.
Except that I was sent
to the devil.
I'm his mother.
And who are you?
Who am l?
Oh, I'm the Princess's bodyguard!
I've got to go back
immediately.
I have to report to the King
of high treason.
Even worse
than high treason.
Grandma, I need your assistance.
- What assistance?
- You fly on a broom...
Grandma! Let me use it!
I swear, I'll return it!
The broom's been in the attic
for sixty years.
Then what do you use to fly?
I've got something magic for you.
Devil's speed!
- Want to go for a walk?
- Yes, I'd love to.
- Ever taken a walk over the roofs?
- Never.
My gown!
Come over here.
Don't be afraid.
Who is that?
- Where?
- Over there.
He's a friend of mine.
He's in love with you too.
What a delicious dream...
Is everybody having
marvelous dreams tonight?
I thought you were a hellcat.
Actually you're very sweet.
I'm nice when I'm asleep.
That's what Papa always says.
Generally, I'm really horrible.
I love you anyway.
I would do for you...
Anything!
What would you like right now?
Honestly?
I'd like it to be winter.
I always want winter in the summer
and summer in the winter.
We'll arrange it right away.
- May I kiss you?
- Of course, you may.
It's no dream, it's real.
Let me go, you hear?
Shame on you!
I'm going to tell Papa!
He'll cut off your head!
You're still going to be my wife!
Never!
There you go!
Fire!
It's not a fire, dunderheads!
The Princess has disappeared.
The King's speaking!
Where were you,
young lady?
Papa, you're talking again?
His own daughter doesn't sleep in,
and Papa keeps silent?
Even a stone would talk!
Where have you been?
I was sleeping.
I dreamed I was sliding
down the roof.
And someone else was there.
A soldier.
A man?
Of course, he was a man.
It was only a dream.
Yes... I understand.
What I don't understand is
where were you all night.
Now you'll have to get married,
and posthaste!
Come hell or high water,
I won't get married!
Oh yes, you will!
To the first who comes along!
Servants! Bring in here
the first man you see!
And if he's cross-eyed, or his
nose runs, so much the better!
Why? I haven't done
anything wrong.
Up till now I've been mute.
Now I'm going to be deaf!
All right, I'll get married,
but only on one condition.
On what condition?
I'll do as any other
self-respecting princess does.
Our noble King
proposes to all men
to try, so to say,
their luck
and come tomorrow,
when the clock strikes ten,
to solve a riddle hard to crack.
Whoever solves it
and be the first in the end,
receives from, so to say, the king
the beautiful Princess's hand!
Our noble king
doesn't stop here and adds
