00:23I did that on purpose, I don't have to miss.
00:27I believe you.
00:30So what happens now?
00:32We face each other as God intended.
00:34Sportsman-like.
00:35No tricks, no weapons.
00:38Skill against, skill along.
00:40You mean, you'll put down your rock and I'll put down my sword and we'll try and kill each other
00:45like civilized people?
00:46I can kill you now.
00:49Frankly, I think the odds are slightly in your favor at hand fighting.
00:54Some knife would bring the biggest and the strongest.
00:57I don't even exercise.
01:19Look, are you just fiddling around with me or what?
01:21I just want you to feel you're doing well.
01:24I hate for people to die on their hands.
01:29You're quick.
01:30Good thing too.
01:31Why are you wearing a mask?
01:32Will you burn the acid or something like that?
01:35Oh no, it's just they're terribly comfortable.
01:37I think everyone will be wearing them in the future.
01:43Hey, I just figured why you give me so much trouble.
01:48Why is that?
01:49Do you think?
01:51Well, I haven't fought just one person for so long.
01:57I've been specializing in groups, battling gangs for local charities, that kind of thing.
02:06Why should that make such a difference?
02:09When you see you use different moves when you're fighting half a dozen people, then we only have to be
02:20one.
02:36I do not envy you the headache you will have when you're awake.
02:39But in the meantime, rest well and dream of large women.
03:00There was a mighty duel.
03:07It ranged all over.
03:09We were both masters.
03:11Who won?
03:13How did it end?
03:14The loser ran off alone.
03:19Well, the winner followed those footprints toward Gilda.
03:25Shall we track them both?
03:27The loser is nothing.
03:29Only the princess matters.
03:32Clearly this was all planned by warriors of Gilda.
03:35We must all be ready for whatever lies ahead.
03:38Could this be a trap?
03:40I always think everything could be a trap.
03:42Which is why I'm still alive.
03:55So, it is down to you, and it is down to me.
04:02If you wish you're dead, by all means keep moving forward.
04:07Let me explain.
04:08There's nothing to explain.
04:10You're trying to kidnap what I've rightfully stolen.
04:13Perhaps an arrangement can be reached?
04:16There will be no arrangement, and you're killing her.
04:22Well, if there can be no arrangement, then we are at an impasse.
04:25I'm afraid so.
04:27I can't compete with you physically, and you're no match for my brains.
04:32You're that smart.
04:33Let me put it this way.
04:34Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates?
04:38Yes.
04:39Morons.
04:40Really?
04:42In that case, I challenge you to a battle of wits.
04:45For the princess?
04:47To the death?
04:49I accept.
04:51Good.
04:52Then pour the wine.
05:09Inhale this, but do not touch.
05:13I smell nothing.
05:15What you do not smell is called iocaine powder.
05:17It is odorless, tasteless, dissolves instantly in liquid,
05:20and is among the more deadly poisons known to man.
05:22Hmm.
05:45All right.
05:46Where is the poison?
05:48The battle of wits has begun.
05:50It ends when you decide, and we both drink,
05:52and find out who is right, and who is dead.
05:56But it's so simple.
05:58All I have to do is divine from what I know of you.
06:01Are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet or his enemies?
06:06Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet
06:09because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given.
06:12I'm not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.
06:17But you must have known I was not a great fool.
06:19You would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
06:24You made your decision, then?
06:25Not remotely.
06:27Because iocaine comes from Australia, as everyone knows.
06:30And Australia is entirely peopled with criminals.
06:32And criminals are used to having people not trust them as you are not trusted by me,
06:37so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.
06:39Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
06:41Wait till I get going!
06:43Where was I?
06:45Australia.
06:45Yes, Australia.
06:46And you must have suspected I would have known the powder's origin,
06:49so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
06:52You're just stalling now.
06:53You'd like to think that, wouldn't you?
06:55You've beaten my giant, which means you're exceptionally strong.
06:58So you could have put the poison in your own goblet, trusting on your strength to save you,
07:02so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.
07:05But you've also bested my Spaniard, which means you must have studied.
07:09And in studying, you must have learned that man is mortal,
07:12so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible,
07:15so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
07:18You're trying to trick me into giving away something.
07:20It won't work.
07:21It has worked.
07:22You've given everything away.
07:24I know where the poison is.
07:25Then make your choice.
07:26I will.
07:27Then I choose.
07:28What in the world can that be?
07:30What?
07:31Where?
07:33I don't see anything.
07:34Oh, well, I could have sworn I saw something.
07:37No matter.
07:40What's so funny?
07:42I'll tell you in a minute.
07:43First, let's drink.
07:46Me from my glass and you from yours.
08:03You guessed wrong.
08:04You only think I guessed wrong.
08:06That's what's so funny.
08:07I switched glasses when your back was turned.
08:09Ha-ha, you fool.
08:11You fell victim to one of the classic blunders.
08:13The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia,
08:16but only slightly less well-known is this.
08:19Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.
08:24Ha-ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
08:38Who are you?
08:40I'm no one to be trifle with.
08:41That is all you ever need know.
08:44I have to think.
08:45All that time, it was shortcut that was poisoned.
08:48They were both poisoned.
08:50I spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocane powder.
