The ticket collector caught the girl up, but broke free again for her. While dancing wildly, she screamed: Ah! Ji, that's great!
She then sang again:

The king and Jamière were at a loss.
The king shouted again: Look!
The king imitated the fish swimming, cut the fish belly open, and pretended to put caviar on his hands, making the appearance of eating.

King: Humph! He swept away and stole everything from him!
Jamie walked up to the king and followed the camera.
Jamie: Then we must expose him as a thief, this rascal.
King: It's useless. We have no accounts and no legal right to speak. We are broke, Jamie.
The king sat down on the arm of the chair.
Jamière: Do you still have your atomic projects.
King: Those are just blueprints. Blueprints don’t turn into money.
Jamière: But think about it, people are still scolding you for abducting public funds from the treasury!
King: Is it different? I would rather be a successful gangster and not be a pauper king.

King: Then, let's just say that these years have been a friendly and wrong combination. Be happy! It's time for lunch, let me order you something to eat.
The king got up and walked over to call. The camera follows the shot.

Queen: Didn’t you realize that today is our wedding anniversary?
King: Well, you seem to live faster now than you were in the past.
Queen: I didn't know how annoying it was before.

Queen: You must have hated me then, right?
King, on the contrary, I love you very much.
Queen: How could you?
King: I just thought you were too young and ignorant. The fact is not like that. (He points his finger to the dining table) You haven't eaten at all.
Queen: I am not hungry.
King: Let me call you something else.
Queen: (shaking his head) Thank you, no need to call. I have to go.

King: Well, I neither intend to appear on TV nor write for women's magazines. We are not there yet. Moreover, I am not in a good mood at the moment, and I am not happy to attend any banquets.
Jamière: Oh, your majesty, it's the queen who is gone. It makes you sad.
King: (tragically) Life and death are almost the same as death.
Jamière: When the queen left, she seemed indescribably sad.
King: Yes.
He put the wine glass on the table.
Jamière: Do you really want to get a divorce?
King: I believe the queen wants.
He stood up and walked to the bedroom door.
Jamière: I dare say, Your Majesty, she is starting to love you.
King: You think so, Jamie. Just a wish.
bathroom. interior. The king came in and closed the door. He walked to the bathtub and reached out to test the temperature of the water. Then he went to the other side and dried his hands with a towel.
At this moment, a woman's singing came from next door:
For love, I would sell my soul,
As long as I can find true love,
Then there is nothing in the last world
I don't want to proceed...
The king raised his head.
He looked at himself in the mirror.
singing:
I can do everything,
As long as I can catch...
The king quietly walked to the door leading to the bathroom next door. Jamie broke into the bathroom. The king was about to peek at the cubicle through the keyhole when he stood up again.
singing:
I am willing to commit any crime,
As long as I can catch...
one person……
...Gentle and sincere...
The king gestured to Jamière and told him to come and see too. Jamie came over and knelt down to look at the keyhole.

Like Faust, I would betray my soul,
If I could say...

My only love, love,
For love, I am willing to sell my soul.

The king and Jamière switch positions.
The king pulled a small stool and sat down to take a peek at the scenery next door.
At this time, the singing stopped and the king stood up and shrugged, indicating that he could only see the woman's head.
There was a sound of water from the shower hose in the compartment.
Jamie and the king went to grab the keyhole. Jamie was one step ahead and rushed, and the king had to stand behind him, angrily. Jamie remembered that as a minister, how could he fight for the first place, and quickly stepped aside.
The king sat on the small stool again, and looked carefully through the keyhole.

King: I hope, I hope you make up your mind, don't be so half-hearted.
Annie: (Voiceover) Help!
King: Wait a minute!
He covered his head with a bath towel, fumbled step by step, and walked towards the bathtub.
Annie got up and sat by the bathtub, wrapped in a large bath towel.
King: Where are you?
The king threw himself on the bathtub.
Annie yelled strangely: Oops!
The king fumbled in the bathtub, and Annie slipped to the other end of the bathtub.
King: It doesn't matter... it doesn't matter. Just wait a second! Stop yelling.
He sat down next to the bathtub and fell into it.
Annie: Oops!
The king climbed out of the bathtub and took the towel off his head.
King: Oh, so you are here!
Annie: Who are you?
He shook his soaked pants.
King: I am, alas —, King Shadoff.
Annie: (Voice is very gentle) Oh!
King: What happened?
Annie: I slipped and hurt my ankle.
King: (rubbing his hands) Let me do it for you, alas...
Annie: Thank you.
The king grabbed Annie by the ankle.
Annie: Oh!
King: It doesn't matter, it won't hurt you, I have a green thumb, it won't hurt people. Hee hee hee.
Annie: My name is Annie Kay. Hello?
King: (turning both eyes up) Very good, thank you.
Annie: I will see you at Mrs. Cromwell's house tonight.
King: I'm sorry, I don't plan to go.

Jamière: (Voiceover) Oh, sorry, Your Majesty.
King: (To Annie) Oh, of course, if you are going to that banquet, I might consider...
Annie: Great! Then I will call and say you are going to Luo.
The king looked at Annie blankly. Annie wanted to retract her leg. He held on tightly, and scratched the soles of her feet with his fingers.
King: Ah, don't worry, what's the rush? We just met, let's talk a little longer. Hee hee hee--
Annie: But, I have to call.
She stood up by the bathtub and ran into the door behind.
The king danced, dancing all the way, across the room, and jumped into his own bathroom.
King: (laughs) I must jump down and take a hot bath.
As the king danced, he began to take off his coat.
The king threw his coat far away easily, turned around, and danced away.
The king was dancing, then suddenly turned around and jumped into the bathtub without taking off his clothes.
In the king's bedroom, Jamière was answering the phone.
Jamière: Mrs. Cromwell, I am sorry, but His Majesty the King made it very clear that he will not come to the dinner tonight.
King bathroom. interior.
There is a TV on the wall. A female rapporteur slowly appeared on the TV screen.
Rapporteur: Hello, honey...
Medium shot. The king lay in the bathtub and watched TV. He had already taken off his clothes at this time, and his feet were on the side of the bathtub. The TV screen kept flickering.

She held up a bottle of beer.
Jamie walked into the bathroom.
Jamie: Your Majesty, it's the woman named Cromwell again, who is always entangled.
King: Oh, alas, I changed my mind. let's go.
Jamière: What is going on? I am confused.
King: Nothing, we just want to go.
Jamière: Then, if I don't stay, you don't care. Tonight, I am very tired.
King: Of course I don't care, if you are tired. of course not. (change)

He walked towards a group of guests.
Bill: How are you all?
A waiter walked by with a plate of wine. Bill turned and chased after him.
Bill: Oh! Here, hello! Please bring wine!
He came over and bumped into Mr. Texus. The two shook hands.
Bill: Hi, Texus.
Texus: Hello, Bill. Where have you been these days?
Bill: I went to Drunk Village.
At this time the hostess Mona Cromwell came to them.
Mona: Hello, Texus! Bill!
Bill: Mona, when shall we start?
Mona: Just wait for His Majesty the King to arrive, and the table will begin immediately.
Bill: Oh!

Mona: Sure enough, I got it. Tell me quickly, how did you start?
They walked to Texus and Bill, and the four stood together.
Annie: I went to the hotel and opened a suite room next to him.
Texus: So speaking, you are now living in "Ritz"!
Annie: Not at all! That's too dangerous! Tonight, I am going to live in my own apartment.
Bill: Then, you got a king to join your show.
Annie: Hush! Don't shout so loudly. He still doesn't know this.
Texus: What kind of guy is it, him?
Mona: In the banquet hall, people say he is very lively and interesting, if you have the ability to make him happy. (To Annie) Then it's up to you!
Annie: Hey, don't talk nonsense!
Mona: Annie, take care of you here, dear. I have to find our husband.
Mrs. Mona Cromwell walked away.

Just as he was talking, their housekeeper came.
In charge: I'm sorry!
He whispered something in Mona's ear.
Bill: (Voiceover) Hey, Fred!
Fred turned his head and Bill entered the camera.
Fred: Yeah, what's the matter?
Bill: Hey, please greet the king, what is the way to do it?
Texus also walked over at this time.
Fred: Well, that's nothing. Haven't you gone into the palace to meet the emperor?
Bill: I haven't seen it.
Fred went elsewhere.
Texus: Bill, don't let them tease you. You can do it with the ladies and ladies, surely you are right.
Texus walked past Bill, then turned and walked back.
Texus: Oh, I remembered, there is one more thing. He didn't sit down, don't you sit down first.
Bill: Hey, I played 36 rounds of golf, I just hope he sits faster.
At this moment, Vera Ruth also came over.
Vera: I hope too! For a long time, my knees are swollen. Hey, sit down before he comes. Ahhhhhhh!
She sat down.

A servant came in.

A door on the wall suddenly opened, and Annie grabbed the door with her hand. There is a man in the wall.
Annie: Hank, how is it going?
Hank: Everything is ready, you can shoot TV.
The camera turns to Annie.
Hank: (Voiceover) Oh, how is the program arranged?
Annie: I'll do body odor powder ads first, and then see if I can get the king on camera. You keep shaking, don't stop.
Hank: I ring the bell twice and you will start selling commercials.
Annie: Okay, that's it.
Annie closed the door on the wall and left.
In the living room of Cromwell's house. The guests were chatting endlessly.
The king took a glass of wine from the waiter.
King: Thank you.
Fred Cromwell was standing right behind the king. The waiter walked away. The king was just about to sit down, looked up again, and walked over.
King: Oh, oh, is that a painting by Al Greco (Note 1)?
Fred also followed.
Fred: Oh, no, your majesty. He is a Filipino (note 2).
King: I, I mean the painting opposite.
Fred: Oh, I don't know. It was bought by my wife at the auction.
King: Really!
Fred: Oh-your majesty, would you please sit down?
The king followed Fred to a chair.
King: Thank you.
The king sat down. The guests were very sleepy, and sat down with a sigh of relief. The king just put down his wine glass--
The steward announced loudly: (voice-over) His Majesty the King is invited to sit down.
The king and the guests stood up again. The king walked over and extended his arm to Mrs. Mona Cromwell. The two came to the camera.

The waiter poured wine to the guests along the table. The camera followed the waiter and swept over again.
Medium and close shot. King and Annie. Annie toasted and drank, the king turned around...
Medium and close shot. The king and Mona, there are a few guests behind. The king lifted his arms.
King: Madam, I wish you health!
He turned his head back, facing Annie. Only two of them are left on the screen.
King: Oh-how is your ankle turn?
Annie: Much better, thank you, Your Majesty.
King: Well, if there is any trouble, just knock on my door. To be honest, I hope you have a big problem.
Annie: Do you want me to suffer?
King: I hope to see you more.
Annie laughed.
At this time, there was a signal to start filming on the TV.
Annie turned her head and talked to the camera.
Annie: I think it's too crowded here.
King: It’s nothing, you can squeeze a little bit more.
Annie: And the air is quite stuffy.
King: It's not boring at all.
Annie: In a room with a stuffy air, sweating, that's not good, but now everyone doesn't have to worry about this, how good it is.
King: What are you talking about?
Annie: Please think about it, young women are not popular in dance halls, but they are inexplicable.
King: I—I don’t understand what you are talking about.
Annie: It's all because of BO
The king turned around and asked Mona: What is it?
Mona: Body Odour!
Annie: But, now there is a way, because of this kind of "fulaixi" (fresh powder). This is a magical, balmy and charming deodorant powder that can keep you dry forever. Please keep in mind that only those who are under the threat are dry, and others are happy to be close to you...
When the king heard this, he unbuttoned his coat.
Annie: …So celebrities and ladies love to use "Fu Laixi". Please keep in mind that you often use "Fu Lai Xi" to keep you fresh and happy for a long time.
The king took the carnation flower off the placket of his shirt and clamped it under his side.
He turned around to ask Mrs. Cromwell.
King: Who is this girl? I think she is weird.
Mona: She is a very capable advertising expert.
King: Really? She is indeed full of advertisements.
Medium and close shot. The king looked back at Annie, and the camera followed him.
King: Do you often talk nonsense like this, making people feel unfathomable?
Annie: Do you think I'm crazy?
King: I know this is the case.
Annie: I know that His Majesty the King is an amazing actor, and you have also acted in "The Prince's Revenge".
King: Oh, I voted for the show, in a private performance.
Annie: No matter what the price is, I really want to see you play Hamlet.
King: Maybe you will see it one night.
Annie: Why not come here tonight, eh?
King: Okay, let's have a private show. "To live or not to live."
Annie: Come now!
King: Oh, you mean right here?
Annie: Why not?
King: Oh, no, no, no! Oh, no!
Annie: Let me tell everyone to stop making noise.
Annie stood up. She patted the table.
Annie: Ladies and gentlemen, we are really lucky to see a great unprecedented event with our own eyes. His Majesty King Chadov has graciously agreed to show us the "Prince's Revenge": "To live or not to live."
She sat down.
On the screen, three people appeared: Mona Cromwell, King and Annie.
The guests cheered.
The king took a sip of wine, wiped his lips, pushed the plate in front of him a bit, and stood up. Then cough, clear your throat.
King: Well, speaking of the monologue in "The Prince's Revenge". Well, there are many ways. There are princes who are pale, sentimental, and anemic, and princes who are crazy and talkative, uh, which one do you like to listen to?
Bill: Everything is good, just don't get anemia.
King: Very good. (Suddenly roaring loudly) To live or not to live...
Medium shot. Bill overturned his bosom of wine in fright.
King: (Voiceover)...This is the problem.
The camera returns to the king.
King: To be noble, you should swallow your breath,
To tolerate the violent destiny,
Still should stand up against the boundless distress,
Sweep it clean? Death is sleep--
That's it; and if sleep is over
Heartache and thousands of things that the body has to bear
Skin aches and pains (uh) that should be a great thing,
I can't ask for it! Death is sleep;
Sleep, (uh)...
He recites while leaning forward.
Close shot. The king's hand inserted a plate of ice cream on the table.
King: (Voiceover)...maybe dreaming...
The king waved his hand quickly, trying to get rid of the ice cream, but threw it into Mona's eyes.
King: ...This is in trouble.
He wiped his hands with a napkin.
In the king's hotel room. Jamie dozed off in the chair. He turned over in his sleep.
King: (Voiceover)...Who is willing to endure the flogging and mockery of the world, endure abuse by the oppressor, abuse by the arrogant,
Endure the pain of being broken in love...
At this time, Jamie woke up slowly. The camera shot from behind him to the TV, which showed a close-up of the king.
King: ...the delay of the court,
Yamen's violent violence, a genius who works hard...
Close shot. Jamie woke up completely and saw the king shown on the TV. Jamie fumbled around for his glasses, took out the towel, and wiped the lenses before putting them on.
King: (Voiceover)...The domineering villain kicked out,
If he only had to make a sharp knife by himself.
Can you get relief? Who is willing to carry the burden,
Sweating, groaning, dragging tired...
The camera changed, and the king on the TV screen was shot from behind Jamière.
King: ...tired life,
If it weren't for the fear of death, no one would come back...
close up. Jamie. He sat up, greatly surprised.
King: (Voiceover) The land that has never been discovered...
The camera then shot the TV screen from behind Jamière.
King: I'm afraid there
I don't know what will happen, so my will is shaken...
In the Cromwell’s restaurant.
A waiter sneaked past them with a plate of food.
King: ...so I would rather endure the current disaster...
The camera followed the waiter and took a picture of the king. Another servant stood blankly behind.
King: ...Unwilling to go to another unknown suffering? ...
(Shouting loudly) This way, worry...
Medium shot. The two servants were taken aback and bumped into one full of arms. The plates in their hands fell to the ground.
King: (Voiceover)...make...

King: I don’t remember the following.
Annie and Mona: Oh, no, no. Read on again.

The guests cheered. Then they chatted with each other.
Medium shot. TV reporter.
Rapporteur: What you heard just now was the recitation of "The King's Revenge" by His Majesty King Shadoff. Now we invite you to watch Anne Kay’s "Real Life Surprise Banquet" live. This is KXPA TV station.
Medium and close shot. King and Annie.
Annie: How can I thank you? How rare. What a genius!
King: Do you like my performance?
Annie: Oh, of course. You are so powerful and so angry. If you are an actor, that would be amazing...
There is a signal from a TV cameraman.
Annie turned to face the camera.
Annie: ...but for an actor to be successful, only genius is enough.
King: Yes.
Annie: A good actor also needs to have good teeth.
King: That's natural.
Annie: Are you sure to speak to others without fear of being annoying?
King: Does your set come again?
The king sighed against his hand.
Annie: If an actor has no confidence, how can he act with a beautiful heroine? Fortunately, there is nothing that can't be done in the world. As long as he uses "Occitan" toothpaste, he can be confident and go well. Because "Occitan" toothpaste has the scent of mozzarella, it is fragrant and durable. "Occitane" toothpaste can stop decay, cleanse teeth and restore whiteness and beauty. Using "Occitan" toothpaste will keep you satisfied and eliminate your worries forever. There are unexpected benefits.
The king drank water and rinsed his mouth while listening to Anne blowing it down. Then he took out the towel and covered his mouth.
King: You know what, you made me inexplicable.
Annie: Really?
King: I just guessed that you were crazy, and now I think my guess is really good.
Annie: I thought you like crazy people!
King: Yes, but why did you pull on the toothpaste suddenly?
Annie: Oh, um, that must be an association effect. Tomorrow, I have to go to my dentist.
King: Haha, how boring!
Annie: (Laughs) It's so boring.
The king laughed too.
Annie: You know what, you are really interesting.
King: Haha (laughing), do you think I am interesting?
Annie laughed.
King: I must tell you some of my stories. Those stories that are a little bit yellow! ...
At this moment, someone shouted suddenly.
Voice: Anne, don't talk to His Majesty the King alone forever, we all have no share.
Mona: Yeah, can we interrupt?
The king turned to face Mona.
King: Oh, um, we are talking about the dentist. You know, what I don’t like about the dentist is that he is giving you a mouthful of pliers or something, which makes you unable to move. He, alas, he answered the phone.
Mona: (laughs) Yeah.
The king took a napkin and wrapped it around her neck.
King: (Laughs) It's like this. Don't you care?
Mona: Not at all.
King: Only, just make a look and show everyone. You see. Please open your mouth, okay? thank you. Now, you are like this...
He pulled her head back with one hand, and reached out to the table with the other hand, grabbing the knife and fork on the dining table and stuffing it into Mona's mouth.
The guests burst into laughter.
King: ...As usual, the phone rang at this time. The dentist answers the phone. You can't move. He treats you as a smelly pipe...
The screen becomes a TV reporter.
Rapporteur: In the past hour and a half, you have just watched the performance of King Schadoff at the "Real Life Surprise Banquet" hosted by Anne Kay. This is KXPA TV station. (change)

King: Jamie! Haven't slept yet!
Jamie stood up.
Jamière: I didn't even close my eyes.
King: Really?
Jamie: Your Majesty! Since you officially refused to appear on TV, you went to recite "Prince's Revenge" again, and put a knife and sugar spoon into the unhappy woman's throat.
King: What are you talking about, are you crazy?
Jamière: Seeing all that with my own eyes, your Majesty, maybe I'm really crazy.
King: Did you see me on TV?
Jamière: It's terrible.
King: (flashes his finger) I'm such a fool. I thought things were a bit weird at the time. They must have a camera in secret.
Jamie: What?
King: I didn't know at all at that time.
Jamière: Absurd. Sue them and ask them to compensate for their losses!
The camera followed the king as he walked to the three-seater sofa and sat down.
King: Let's go out and get the air through.
Jamière: It's late, Your Majesty.
King: I can't sleep right now.
The king put on a scarf.

Jamière: We should go back to Europe.
King: Don't think about it, we need to find money.
Jamière: Have you ever been on TV to make a fool of yourself. Which businessman still talks to you about serious matters?
King: Why not?
Jamie: Your Majesty! The King of a Country performed "The Prince's Revenge" on TV. People will suspect that you are a lunatic.
King: According to what you said, if you play golf in the country as adults, just to drive a small ball into the hole, isn't that a lunatic? Well, I would rather play "The Prince's Revenge" instead of playing golf.
Jamière: We are messed up now, there is no way.
King: Nonsense.

Southerner: I hope you shake hands with my wife.

The king kissed the southern lady's hand.
Mrs. Southern: Oh, hello. Can you sign my little doll?

She opened her handbag.
Mrs. Southern: Well, I only have a little relief.

Mrs. Southern: No, I don't have a pen.
