The Snow Queen Page #3

he murdered his aunt

and he never got over it

I guess.

There he is, he's always changing

places.

If he comes down into the room,

don't pay any attention to him.

Thanks so much, Elsa.

Many thanks, Klaus.

You've been so kind to me.

Midnight...

Now her great-great-great-great-

grandfather's going to appear...

What should I do?

There he is! Oh he's walking!

Good evening, great-great-great-

great-grandfather!

What? Who?

Oh, please don't get angry.

I'm sure you had a good reason for

murder...quarreling with your aunt.

You think I'm Eric the Third

the White Dragon Slayer?

- Aren't you?

- No. I'm Eric the Twenty-Third.

Haven't you murdered anybody?

You're joking I guess.

Do you know that

when I get angry

even the fur on my ermine cloak

starts to bristle?

Please don't be angry.

I didn't mean to annoy you.

But I never met a ghost before,

and I simply don't know

how to talk to them yet.

But I am not a ghost!

I'm the King, Princess Elsa's

father.

Oh, forgive me, Your Majesty!

I was mixed up.

You little whippersnapper!

Never mind...

Come on, let's chat.

Excuse me, but I can't come

any closer.

And if I order you to do it?!

I'm not allowed to leave

the princess's half.

- Come here!

- No, I can't.

- I'm telling you to come here!

- No, I won't.

Now come on!

I beg you to please stop

shouting at me.

In these last few days

I've been through so much

that I'm not afraid anymore.

Only I'm getting a little annoyed.

You're a very courageous girl.

I like courageous people.

Give me your hand, don't be afraid.

Hey, guards!

That's cheating!

That's not fair!

Plug up your ears! March!

Just what do you think you're

doing?

Insulting me like that

in front of my soldiers.

What about you, pulling me

over here, Your Majesty?

I wasn't doing anything.

What do you want with me?

I don't know what.

You're right, excuse me, please.

It's nothing, Your Majesty.

I know you're looking for a boy

named Kay.

That's right, Your Majesty.

I'm going to help you.

These are magic skis.

They'll be very useful

in your search.

Look.

Forward!

Not bad, eh?

You may have them.

The king has a heart, too.

Don't you believe me?

You're a funny girl.

Watch. I'm going.

Good night, my dear.

Well, who won?

Did you forget that there're

secret doors in palaces?

Grab her!

You ought to be ashamed of

yourself, Your Majesty.

Plug your ears! You're dismissed!

It's a disgrace for a king.

A king can be as treacherous

as he wants.

Give back my skis!

I certainly will, I wouldn't

accept anything from you.

Go back to your master!

All right...

But I wish you'd be more polite.

Come on, give up!

I'm supposed to lock you up

in my dungeons.

Why?

The commercial counselor

insists upon it.

Is he here?

I think he's been following you

since you left home.

So do agree.

I'm very much in debt to this

counselor.

I'm in his hands.

If I don't capture you,

he'll just ruin me.

He'd put a stop to ice deliveries,

and then we won't have ice-cream

anymore.

He'd put a stop to cold steel

deliveries,

and my neighbors would defeat us.

I beg of you,

be my prisoner.

I'll pick the cell,

the very best I've got.

No!

A king must be:

A, as cold as the snow.

B, as hard as winter ice.

C, more swift than a northern

wind.

Explain why this girl isn't

in prison?

It's because she's on

the princess's half.

You employ methods which are overly

polite. See how it's done!

No, that's not how it's done,

Counselor! Drop that child's hand.

- How did you manage to get here?

- I followed you.

- Summon the guard!

- Don't move!

That pistol won't shoot. He didn't

bother to put in the powder.

Don't move, Your Majesty.

Suppose I did put in the powder?

I tell you, it's not loaded.

But he says it is.

I'm about to make mincemeat

of this uninvited protector.

Kribble! Krabble! Booms!

Now move to the king's side

immediately!

- Or I'll kill him.

- All right, I'll go.

They want to kill

my best friend!

The king tripped him.

You just wait. I'll make more

mischief than you've ever seen.

You're going to see a rainbow

of troubles!

Oh, I promise not to do it again.

The carriage is here!

To show appreciation, I'll give you

a blue ribbon with...

Bells and buttons and rosettes

and honorary swords.

- We're greatly honored.

- Thank you very much.

I'll catch up with you, Gerda!

Well, Counselor, I'm counseling

you to let us alone.

Keep your advice to yourself,

scribbler.

You've lost, Counselor.

Our little game isn't over yet,

storyteller.

I see that they've finally

calmed down.

Someone to see you.

What do you want here?

I need to see the chief of your

band.

It is I!

You?!

Well, why did you stop chattering?

Since my husband passed away

from a bad cold...

Poor man, he was so wonderful!

...l've been running the business

alone.

If you've come to bother us,

it better be for a good reason,

because otherwise you're a dead man.

I have some secret business

to discuss with you.

Be off!

If you mind what I say,

some rich booty can be yours.

A carriage will pass on the road,

made out of gems and solid gold,

drawn by four horses selected

from the king's choicest.

Did you say it was made out of gold?

Yes, and that's why it moves slowly.

- And who is in it?

- A young girl.

- Is there a guard on it?

- No.

What part of the booty d'you want?

Don't set terms I don't like

or I'll shoot you.

All I want is the girl.

She's a poor orphan.

You couldn't get ransom for her.

I agree.

Hey, bandit on duty!

Bring the spy glass!

He didn't lie. A gold carriage!

Come on out! Get ready!

What's up now?

It's night already?

What's going on, my buckoes?

Naptime in camp is sacred.

Get out here, you lazy bones!

I won your boots!

Action stations!

Two times two

Makes four dead men!

Any passerby, watch out!

Just one word,

And you're a dead bod.

You'll be, too, knocked down and out.

Just for theft,

Just for theft,

We have stabbed,

We have stabbed

Six times six,

That's thirty six men of fortune.

Seven times seven,

That's forty nine rich merchants.

Give us all,

Or you're a corpse.

Anyone resisting drops.

If you've betrayed us,

and there's an ambush

waiting for us,

you won't be alive.

We two have a partnership

which we must both respect.

Hey you, the new man!

You stay here and stand guard.

Let me go with you.

I'm a wild fighter.

There won't be much fight. There's

just a girl, a driver and a footman.

Please take me along, chief.

I'll kill this girl.

I just hate little children.

Never mind...

Stay here

and keep a close watch on this man.

If he makes an attempt to escape,

cleave his skull in two.

Obey my orders!

Or you'll be out before you're in.

Mount your horses!

Forward! Follow me!

We're hunting only at night,

Getting high up on a steed,

Armed with swords good for a fight,

Ready for a feat of greed.

Pieces of gold, pieces of gold,

Shiny, weighty, bold!

Hey you, traveler, save your breath!

It's a matter of life and death.
