Plot: The throne of rightful king of England, the small babe with the purple pimpernel birthmark, has been usurped by the evil King Roderick. Only the Black Fox can restore the true king to the throne--and all he needs is the king's key to a secret tunnel. And while he's trying to steal it, someone has to change the king's diapers. The task falls to Hawkins, the gentlest member of the Fox's band. The Fox's lieutenant, Maid Jean, guards Hawkins and the babe while they travel, but when they meet the King's new jester on the road, they decide to initiate a daring plan for Hawkins to replace him, become an intimate at the court, and steal the key. So, humble Hawkins becomes Giacomo: the king of jesters and jester to the king. But things begin to get zany when the King's daughter falls for Giacomo, the King falls for Jean, people randomly sing what are supposed to be recognition codes, and a witch with very effective spells (and poison pellets) begins to interfere.

Quotes:

King Roderick I: Gwendolyn dear, do stop plucking that thing.

Ravenhurst: I bid you welcome. I am Ravenhurst.::Hawkins: [laughing] Ravenhurst!::[seriously]::Hawkins: R-R-Ravenhurst? Uh, the 'real' Ravenhurst?::Ravenhurst: What?::Hawkins: Uh, I mean, does the king know? D-does the king know about your being the real Ravenhurst?::Ravenhurst: Keep your jests for the king.

King: You spent some time in the Italian court?::Hawkins: Why, yes. What better place to court Italians?

Fergus: I'm Fergus, the Ostler.::Hawkins: Who-whogus the Whatsler?::Fergus: Fergus, the Ostler. It is I, not Ravenhurst, who is your friend.::Hawkins: [ushering Fergus back to the window] Look, my good man, you pick your friends, and I shall pick mine. At the moment, I have a very important mission with the king. After all, I am the incomparable Giacomo, king of jesters and jester of kings.::[Griselda enters unnoticed]::Hawkins: I have entertained in all the courts of Europe and speak a ready wit in their every tongue.::[turns and runs into Griselda]::Hawkins: [without missing a beat] Now, who are you?::Griselda: I am Griselda.::Hawkins: Gri-who-lda?

Hawkins: A jester unemployed is nobody's fool!

Hawkins: I was battered and bruised but the king was amused and before the siesta he made me his jester and I found out soon that to be a buffoon was a serious thing as a rule! For a jester's chief employment is to kill himself for your enjoyment, and a jester unemployed is nobody's fool!

Hawkins: I am prepared to make a statement: When I was a lad I was gloomy and sad as I was from the day I was born. When other babes giggled and gurgled and wiggled, I proudly was loudly forlorn. My friends and my family looked at me clammily, thought there was something amiss: when others found various antics hilarious all I could manage was this [looks at his hands] or this [gives a small smile] or this [gives a short giggle] or this [gives a weird giggle/whimper] . My father he shouted, "he needs to be clouted, his teeth on a wreath I'll hand him!" My mother she cried as she rushed to my side, "You're a brute and you don't understand him!" So they sent for a witch with a terrible twitch to ask how my future impressed her. She took one look at me... and cried, "He, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, *HE*! What else could he be but a jester?" A jester? A jester? A funny idea, a jester. No butcher, no baker, no candlestick maker, and me with the look of a fine undertaker impressed her as a jester? But where was I to learn any comical turn? It was not in a book on a shelf. No teacher to take me, to mold me and make me a merryman, fool or an elf. But I'm proud to recall that in no time at all, with no other recourses but my own resources, with firm application and determination... I made a fool of myself!"

Hawkins: I started to travel to try to unravel my mind and to find a new chance. When I got to Spain it was suddenly plain that the field that appealed was the dance. The Spanish were clannish but I wouldn't vanish and learned every step they had planned. The first step of all wasn't hard to recall, 'cause the first step of all is to stand. And stand. And stand. And stand...

Hawkins: I've got it! I've got it! The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true! Right?::Griselda: Right. But there's been a change: they broke the chalice from the palace!::Hawkins: They *broke* the chalice from the palace?::Griselda: And replaced it with a flagon.::Hawkins: A flagon...?::Griselda: With the figure of a dragon.::Hawkins: Flagon with a dragon.::Griselda: Right.::Hawkins: But did you put the pellet with the poison in the vessel with the pestle?::Griselda: No! The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon! The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true!::Hawkins: The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon; the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true.::Griselda: Just remember that.

Griselda: [Correcting Hawkins' recitation of the directions about the drinks] No! The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle...::Jean: ...the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true. Even I can say it!::Hawkins: Then YOU fight him!

Do you remember the day we said goodbye at Huntington?::Robin Hood: I do.::Maid Marian: And you were wishing to join the crusade and go to the Holy Land.::Robin Hood: Yes.::Maid Marian: It's well for England that you didn't.::Robin Hood: I wonder.::Maid Marian: You're serving your king better here, Robin Fitzooth.::Robin Hood: Thank you, my lady.

Maid Marian: Just what do you think you are doing?::Robin Hood: Getting up.::Maid Marian: You are not. Come now, a sup of barley broth.::Robin Hood: I'm sick to death of barley broth. And once more I've been bullied long enough by you and that turniped faced friar.::Friar Tuck: Hmph!::Maid Marian: Now you drink this!::Robin Hood: You drink it!::Friar Tuck: [sits on Robin Hood so he can't move] Pour it down his throat.
