Giacomo : A thousand apologies for this intrusion, but may I beg shelter and warmth from this miserable storm?
Jean : Who are you?
Giacomo : A stranger in this land, young woman, but not for long. I am Giacomo of the continent, the king's new jester.
Jean : The court jester?
Hawkins : Giacomo?
Giacomo : Giacomo the incomparable! King of jesters and jester of kings!
Jean : Well, where are you from?
Giacomo : Most recently, the Italian court, but I've entertained in all the courts of Europe and speak a ready wit in their every tongue.
Jean : Hawkins, we are indeed honored that our humble hut should shelter one who tomorrow will be an intimate of the king.
Hawkins : With access to his chambers.
Jean : But how will they know you? Are you sure that no one at the castle has ever seen your face?
Giacomo : Not yet, but I assure you, ere another sun has set, the entire court of England will succumb to the charm, wit, and song of the Incomparable Giacomo, king of jesters...
Jean : [knocking him out] And jester to the king.
