advance. We placed damp powder into the cannon. - Why damp? - We are not murderers. He will fly no more than 4 meters and fall to the ground. Everything will be proved and he will go back to his flowers. Won't there be anything unwanted? God forbid, your highness! Everything will be played out to the letter. The overture will be followed by the questioning. Then the convict's last words, cannon fire, general merriment, dancing. On the whole your idea is interesting. Yes, yes, the idea is interesting. Shall we begin, frau Martha? Please, deliver your lines. Well. God, forgive us all, bless us and try to ensure that first of all everything goes smoothly and secondly No more time. Pastor, no more time. Time to begin. Let frau Martha begin! Good. A pink dress against the gray background looks good. The waistline is a little too high but on the whole it is not bad. Good morning, frau Martha. Have you brought the request for mercy? I have. Read it. I, Martha, the wife of gardener Muller Ask you to have mercy on my insane husband. Let me at least put a different date. On no account. You must read your lines accurately. Your highness! I entreat you On this day, the 32nd of May - Excellent, frau Martha! - Do you promise that nothing will happen to him? I have already explained to you, the powder is damp. He will fall from the muzzle to the ground to general amusement! At the most he might get slight bruises. In order to identify you, accused, and to prevent any mistake we suggest that you in front of the witnesses repeat baron Munchhausen's famous feat, that of flying to the Moon! I warn you, you have the right to refuse. No! I agree. Then, let's start the confession. I've been doing it all my life. But no one believed me. - Please, unburden your soul. - It happened of its own accord, pastor. I had a friend. He betrayed me. I had a loved one. She denounced me. I fly away with a light heart. Rude! We like so much... Always... ...That is not the main thing - Yes. Why did you agree to participate in this farce? I did it for the sake of our love. I no longer believe in it. Why can't I hear? I don't understand what they are talking about. Your highness, the accused thanks the town authorities and at the same time as it were jokes with his beloved. Good. The lace collar and the tuck at the front are especially becoming. And he does look like the late baron. Do you remember, when we visited Archimedes he said "Love is a theorem that we must prove every day" - Say something to me as a farewell. - What? What? - Say something to me as a farewell. - What? Think! There is always something important to say at such a moment! I... I... I will be waiting for you! Not that! I... I love you very much! Not that! - I will be faithful to you! - No need. They put the damp powder, Karl! They want to interfere with your flight, Karl! That's it! Thank you. Thank you, Martha. Let everyone envy! No one else has such a woman. My God. A druggist's daughter is a druggist's daughter. Thomas, have you brought what I asked you to? Yes, baron! Here it is! Is this dry? Sure? Yes! It will blow up all right! Farewell, gentlemen! I will fly away now and we are most likely never to see each other again! When I come back next time You will be no more. The thing is that time flies differently on Earth and in the sky. A second there is equal to an age here! Everything is relative. But it'll take a lot of time to explain. My God, I am so tired of dying. Ignite the fuse! Your highness, the situation is extreme! Your highness, I know him. He will not stop. Everything is going to blow up your highness! - And me too? - I tell you, everything! - Where is the commander in chief? - He is in command. Your highness! Please, Please acknowledge that he is the baron! That is not dangerous, your highness. It can be looked upon as a humanitarian ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Полуночная жара на английском - текст Москва-Кассиопея на английском - текст Агнец божий на английском - текст Сказка о царе Салтане на английском - текст Родня на английском |
