Why don't you defend him? Defend him? You think that dog of a book care? A common barber? Those are my men that are killing him I led them here You led them here? Why? What is this all about? Step aside, they'll trample you down See how he fights his magnificent Have you ever seen such swordsmanship? Winterseth, why are you not fighting? I don't fight with barbers myself Take that, my friend And that's the small bloodshed Of the five of you that I have set And you, my ugly friend I don't care for your face Two of them down Odds, blood, the men can fight Get him in Get him I want him strung up I'll get downed him Good, bring him here Where are the Duke's men, dear God, in heaven Where are his men?

Would that make a difference to you? You surely could not expect me to marry a barber I thought you would marry whomever you loved I thought you were different from all the other ladies in the world I see now, I was mistaken Forgive me for the assumption Francois, Francois, I need help, Francois Oh, senior, your coat is red with blood Wintercet, will you take me home? With pleasure, my lady We'll meet again, Barber Unless you get out of town immediately I'm not through with you yet Drive on, Wintercet This has all made me a little faint Farewell, my lady Francois, sometimes a red rose comes very high But the rose she gave me seems more beautiful Then it has turned out to be Help me home, Francois Monsieur Mollignure, may I please see Monsieur Bouquere? He's in the garden resting Haven't you done enough to him? Please, let me see him I know he despises me But there is something I must say to him I don't like you, my lady And I'll do nothing to help you see Monsieur Bouquere Ever since he met you, his barbery has gone right out of the window And I've almost lost my entire beard You're ruining his profession You won't take me to him? I will not But I can't help it if you push your way past me And go around to the garden on your own Thank you Monsieur Bouquere Good afternoon, your ladyship I know you don't want to see me But I have to come I won't be able to talk to you long I have some affairs to settle and I'm leaving for France tomorrow A few weeks ago you and I rode out along the sea And you said if I would put my hand in yours You would give me a kingdom Do you remember? But you would not care for a barber's kingdom I think I would I know I wouldn't Why Mary? If I've always thought the titles were important, forgive me I've learned better Just say I had a bad bringing up I've had a lot of weeks to think this over And I know it doesn't matter whether you're a duke or a barber Because the only kingdom I really want is in your arms And the only title I really want is the title Madame Bouquere My dearest, my darling, my sweet I love you That's the only important thing in the whole world to me I love you so much You shall be Madame Bouquere And Monsieur Bouquere is a very lucky man One senior that beast of a winter set his way over here With a whole party of gentlemen from the court Francois just brought word And I shall be ready for them Can't we end this masquerade? I swear what's left of my beard is turning white We can end the masquerade, it's no longer necessary I've found my Cinderella There he is, the impudent scum Let's finish him this time Gentlemen, hear me before you offer an outrage You will repent all your lives And plunge your country into war Ah, monsieur le duke You always appear well flanked with men You never risk meeting me alone, do you? Do you expect me to fight a cutthroat with bare hands? I think one does not expect monsieur to fight anybody Do you think I would fight you? I would gladly fight almost anyone in the world, but I would not soil my hands with a lying, sneaky... Stop his lying mouth! Anyone who thinks he can stop me, step forward Oh, really, winter set This is getting a little tiresome You're always forcing me to fight when I'm not in the mood Your Highness, my prince, please say no more Your Highness, my prince My prince? What prince is this? What kind of talk is this? Winter set, you forfeit a dull honor in this place You play cards with me in cheat And then on condition I do not expose you You introduce me as the Chaterion You introduce me at the cost of your honor and then betray me to redeem it You are a liar, a card shark, a coward I'll know the true name of the man that dares bring such a charge Tell him all or no, I think it's time he knows But make it as short as possible Permit me to have the honor of presenting to you His Royal Highness Prince Louis Philippe de Valois Le Duc d'Orliens, Le Duc de Charte Duc de Nemoire, Duc de Mont-Posier, Count de Beaujolais First Prince of the Blood Royal First Prince of France, Lieutenant General of Infantry Governor of Dauphine, Knight of the Golden Fleece Grandmaster of the Order of Notre-Dame of Mont-Carmel End of St. Lazarus in Jerusalem And son of his most Christian Majesty, the King of France Mon Dieu, what a memory The Prince shall hear from me within the hour What gentleman will carry your message, Winterset?
