    The King and the Clown quotes

    • Archer: [From subtitles] By selfless sacrifice ministers have built this kingdom, yet you invite gutter rats to mock us.

    • Jang-sang: [From subtitles] From up here, even the palace looks no better than a hovel! In a world full of scoundrels, only here did I meet the nastiest of them all. Ho! And the foul things he would do! Will you hear this tale then? As the gods kill us for their sport, so would he. He killed more souls than there are tiles on these roofs. His lust insatiable, even 2000 virgins were not enough. Why, his pecker was this big. No, THIS big! With it he skewered clam after virgin clam. And when he got tired of girls, he wasted no time mounting a boy. Whoever pleased his one-eyed snake was given delicacies and silk robes - and a title to boot!
