Transcript
00:04At King Arthur's court, there was a strong, lusty night bachelor, and one day he was riding
00:11down by the river, he was all alone, and he saw this virgin lass.
00:18Door, door, door, door, door, door, door, door, door, door, door, door.
00:30Be Noth.
00:36Of course!
00:38There was an absolute outcry.
00:40Arthur gave him over to Guinevere.
00:42She should choose, whether to save his blood or spill it.
00:47I'll spare you if you can tell us what do women most desire?
00:55Come on, light, speak up.
00:57An answer to that will keep your neck bones safe from this hard iron.
01:08I don't know.
01:10I suppose if you can't tell us now, we'll let you have 12 months.
01:14And a day.
01:16Go!
01:24He went to every door in every town where he could hope to unearth the answer.
01:29But everyone had a different idea.
01:32Could you tell me, what does a woman most desire?
01:35A place in society.
01:42My good man, what do women most desire?
01:45Money.
01:50Fancy clothes.
01:54For I could sing to.
02:01The day had come that he must turn homeward.
02:04His spirit was broken, his hopes bitter ashes.
02:09His root took him to a forest, and there he saw 4 and 20 dancing ladies.
02:15Maybe they'll have the answer.
02:17Maybe.
02:26No way through here, sir.
02:29Tell us what you're looking for.
02:30Mother, what do women most desire?
02:33If you can tell me, I'd make it worth your while.
02:35Give me your oath.
02:37You'll do the very next thing I ask of you.
02:39And before sunset, you'll have your answer.
02:42My oath, you have it! Anything!
02:44Your life is safe.
02:46Listen.
02:50Silence!
02:51Well?
02:53My lady queen.
02:55Apparently, women desire sovereignty over husband and lover.
03:00They desire the upper hand at all times.
03:04Now do with me as you will.
03:07None of them.
03:08Not wife, nor virgin, nor widow could argue with that.
03:13He had his life.
03:16Sovereign lady queen.
03:17I gave him that answer.
03:20In return, he swore he'd do the first thing I ask.
03:23Take me as your wife.
03:26Take all my worldly goods if you must.
03:28Let my body alone.
03:30I want to be your wife and your love.
03:34My love?
03:36My damnation!
03:37Sovereign!
03:38Should someone of my rank be brought so low?
03:41He had no choice but to marry her.
03:44To take the old woman into his bed.
03:46Do!
03:48Do!
03:49Do!
03:50Do!
03:50Do!
03:55Alas for all the rejoicing and all the arrangements for the wedding feast.
04:01There wasn't any.
04:03No joy.
04:04No feast.
04:06He became her husband in a private ceremony and spent the day hidden like an owl.
04:12Oh, darling husband.
04:14Are old Arthur's nights so hard to please?
04:18I saved your life.
04:20What have I done wrong?
04:22Tell me.
04:24I'll change.
04:26Change.
04:26Wonderful change.
04:28You're so hideous, so old and so common.
04:31I could change all that.
04:32If only you behaved a little more courteously to me.
04:35Are you surprised at me?
04:36You're talking ability.
04:39Arrogance.
04:40The man who attempts the noblest deeds is the noblest man.
04:44You will always be old, always ugly.
04:46Then you need never fear a rival.
04:48You have a choice.
04:50Plain and old, but your faithful, obedient wife.
04:55Or young and beautiful and danger whenever friends visit our house.
05:02Whatever you prefer.
05:04No!
05:06I put myself in your hands.
05:08Whatever you want, my wife pleases me.
05:12Do I have the operandum?
05:14Do I make all the choices?
05:16All decisions?
05:17That is best.
05:18Seriously.
05:20No more arguments.
05:22I will be beautiful and true.
05:25Look at me.
05:29Kiss me.
05:33Kiss me.
05:38Kiss me.
05:40May Christ send us all husbands as meek and young and hard.
05:46And the grace to break them.
06:04Let us hike in your hand.
06:05Find what would die for us soon next time?
