- One day, lad, all this will be yours!

- What, the curtains?

- No. Not the curtains, lad. All that you can see, stretched out over the hills and valleys of this land! This'll be your kingdom, lad.

- But Mother...

- Father, lad. Father.

- B-- b-- but Father, I don't want any of that.

- Listen, lad. I built this kingdom up from nothing. When I started here, all there was was swamp. Other kings said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em. It sank into the swamp. So, I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So, I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp, but the fourth one... stayed up! And that's what you're gonna get, lad: the strongest castle in these islands.

- But I don't want any of that. I'd rather--

- Rather what?!

- I'd rather...

[music]

- ...just... sing!

- Stop that! Stop that! You're not going into a song while I'm here. Now listen, lad. In twenty minutes, you're getting married to a girl whose father owns the biggest tracts of open land in Britain.

- B-- but I don't want land.

- Listen, Alice,--

- Herbert.

- 'Erbert. We live in a bloody swamp. We need all the land we can get.

- But-- but I don't like her.

- Don't like her?! What's wrong with her?! She's beautiful. She's rich. She's got huge... tracts o' land!

- I know, but I want the-- the girl that I marry to have...

[music]

- ...a certain,... special... something!

- Cut that out! Cut that out! Look, you're marrying Princess Lucky, so you'd better get used to the idea!

[smack]

Guards! Make sure the Prince doesn't leave this room until I come and get him.

- But Father!

- Shut your noise, you! And get that suit on!

[music]

- And no singing!

- Hic!
