So, the explosion wasn’t harmless for an eagle. Please, don’t worry. Just few eagle feathers for our boy. By the way. He will tell us now, what is his real name.
11. Boy bows to us like little gentleman - noble boy.
Boy:
Reynard – Troubadour.
12. Top of a mountain, landscapes of Armenia. A man. It’s a Reader himself.
“B.M.”
Reader:
Here we are. I’m glad to meet you. So, let me introduce myself now. I am a Reader. I will tell this story, which happened in magical land. You can find it in your soul, mind and heart.
Boy (v/o)
It was very nice to meet you too. But who are the hero in this story you want to tell?
Reader:
You.
13. Reynard – adult is going to take some water from a stream. Takes and drinks it.
Princess’s garland on a surface, transparent water, stones on a floor.
Takes the garland, puts on.
Everything disappears, like somebody turns a page of a book.
14. Next page. White background. Only Shambala rotating.
15. People’s images, transparent, alive, from Shambala, change each other, vapor:
Princess
Troubadour
Friends of Troubadour
Atamansha
Three gangsters
Reader
King Hugh & King Stew
GS
Violinist
Player (God of Music)
Goddess of Rainbow
Princess and Troubadour together
16. White lily, filling the screen. Petals, drops of dew, etc. Breaths.
Then opens slowly, like a magic window from Upper World, and we can see the planet from the height.
Camera swiftly flies over waterfalls and rivers of clouds, through rainbow, over hills, woods, flower fields and red desert to Princess, sleeping near basalt stone.
17. Camera stops above Princess. Then fast increasing of her face, eye- lashes, skin, eye- brows.
View gets into her through closed eye-lids to see her dream - the same dream, that Troubadour sees.
18. Dream
Shadow of somebody’s figure on Geneva pavements (stones), walking fast.
We see stones, Sun on them and a Shadow of unisex figure.
Sac a deaux on left shoulder, then huge bunch of autumn leafs and branches appears in arms.
Continue to move – the shadow of it on a street pavement.
Then rainbow light through everything
19. Change to empty light space. Faces of Princess and Troubadour , like a vision. Look at each other.
“B.M.”
20. Smile of Reynard, then she smiles.
Her hair are free and smooth, chocolate color – Princess- adult smiling.
21. The end of the dream.
We see Troubadour sleeping. Camera moves up from his face to the height of ceiling.
22. Reynard’s eyes opens sharply, like shock. Blue eyes like a blue ZOOM, then again his face.
23. Stands up, walks out his house and goes to an edge of a rock to observe northern sea and Sunrise.
Troubadour’s portrait song – Reynard himself.
Will be good!- of him to write it.
24. Returns to house, dresses up, seats down at the table. There are the paper and eagle’s feathers are prepared already.
House is a house of young men Dream. Plus all for music, leisure, mix – style.
Wide field for fantasy.
25. Troubadour is thinking over something we don’t know.
Reader:
They love each other, this young man and that young girl. They still can not meet, as well as they couldn’t for a long time. They even didn’t know whether it was truth or not, and was it real,
the image from a dream.
Long way to first glance, long way to everything they want, long way, with out any reasons except for love and lovely face from fairy tale.
26. Reynard’s writing, voice over, simultaneously as letters appear on paper, he’s writing by feather.
Reynard:
We love each other,
But I can’t find you.
I see this dream.
I know, You are on Earth somewhere.
I’ll find You, yes, I swear.
Yes, I swear.
I’ll go through deserts, forests, roads and seas.
Just wait for me. And don’t go out, just wait me, please.
I feel that there’s no way, exept for You,
My Lady from this Dream, My drop of morning dew.
Where will I find You?
Where will I find You?
I can not live, I need your warmth beside me.
I feel like part of whole, please, let me find You.
My second part, my second heart, right side.
Oh, let me find You, You will be My Find.
( It’s a sonnet of Troubadour. Princess’s one, when she will be going to the show)
Reynard- Troubadour puts paper and feather aside, turns to window, there’s sea.
Sea is increasing. Disappears. Air spheres - fair blue and thin white clouds like long stripes on horizon.
“B.M.”
27. Music scene
“Princess walking” ( Vita)
Princess is walking through Worlds. Landscapes of different planets.
Landscapes and most beautiful places on Earth.
Like dynamic FLOTETION/
We can not see her face, just walking figure.
28. CHANGE TO
Bremen city - Zentrum Platz.
Troubadour with friends of him. Each has got a car , an instrument and a pet.
Осёл, пёс, кот и петух / an ass, a dog, a cat and a cock.
An eagle for Troubadour.
They observe their luggage, fill trunks, Bremen bear, to seat “na dorozhkou”.
Each one takes his place in a car, and they start - Der Zug.
29. Song“Anything or nothing could be better”
(“ничего на свете лучше нету”)
Bremen set them off by smiles, greetings and wishes Good Luck, because Bremen Musicians are pride of a city, people’s favorites. Now the team’s going to win a World and whole Dreamland.
30. Italian. Tavern or patio. Improvisation, wonderful theme, jazz or something around jazz.
Meet: Reynard, Reader, Givan and Maxim. Occasionally, supper together, “occasionally crossed by magic serious cause”.
End up improvisation.
31. After, they drink wine, old bottles. Eyes are inspired. They talk. Reader is silent.
Givan:
The music is Power of Universe and Spirit of Big World. And no one could deny it.
Maxim:
Yes, of course… It cares souls, it treats them all, as well as rain revive the soil.
And flowers in those hearts and souls grow.
And shine through eyes, and smiles, again inspire.
Givan:
Where do you go? You’ve got a real gift.
Reynard:
I gonna win a World. I’m following my dream.
Maxim:
Whole World? Each heart in Dreamland, I suppose.
Givan:
And, maybe, private cause. Of course, a private cause.
“B.M.”
Maxim:
Wherever you will be, just know, that you can call
the violin and flute,
which sounds like Eternity itself.
You can, if you need help.
Just call, when you need help.
Just say a word, whenever or wherever you will be.
Just say: “ The God of Music, come to me”.
Givan and Maxim look at Reynard very attentively, as if studding him.
Reynard:
I feel it’s something magical…
Givan:
You see.
Maxim:
You are his son.
Reynard:
His son?!
Voice from Heaven is Reader (v/o)
Yes. You are me.
32. Reynard starts up. At the moment, Givan and Maxim disappear immediately.
33. There are no one except for Reynard and Host of Tavern in it now.
34. Reynard moves through Italian night to his friends.
A Gulf, hills with houses on them, Italian nature, Italian evening, near Sea (gulf Sorrento, Napoli).
Song “Caruso” ( duo)
Princess’s image appears like a vision at the beginning, presents during the song.
When song ends up, vision disappears.
35. Troubadour and friends, above the gulf, looking at sea panorama, very good location.
Friend:
What happened to you? You look strange.
Reynard:
You know, we are in Dreamland, the land of dreams, miracles and magic. And … something’s going to happen. Something really magical. It’s too private. I can’t tell you. But just right now
I met some Music, which is more than any music we ever knew.
F.:
Show us.
R.:
I can’t. They said they will appear again as soon as we need their help.
F:
Oh, long time to wait for. Our tour is going to be all- right. What a success.
Yesterday show for example!
“B.M.”
F.:
Yeah. But you know, most difficult public is not here. In a capital of this land,
where both of Kings- brothers- fathers live.
And their daughter, which is very well at Arts and Music, as local people say.
F.:
Oh, this local language! Everybody are talking by verses here. I’ve got a headache.
I can’t compose verses so fast as they do – right now, while thinking or speaking.
F.:
Yes, and your monologues sound like advertisements on TV, I’m sorry.
F.:
Reynard speaks fluently without any efforts. Lucky man.
F.:
I’ve got nice idea. Tomorrow we will end up our shows here and move to next one.
Why not, if… what do you think about capital city, really, why not?
Capital is really interesting little place to conquer.
F.:
Not bad.
F.:
No questions. I’m a citizen of Dreamland, I’ve been dreaming about hitting the capital since
I was new- born, and my dream comes true. I am for!
F.:
Nobody wait for us there.
R. ,powerfully:
But it is even better. It’s the best case for us, that we are not expected. We will bring them new music they had never heard before.
F.:
Don’t be a forecaster. Don’t foretell.
We need to arrive there for the first, then will see.
Another, forth friend appears from bushes:
- Ciao, bambini. Buona notte, who are with me?
I’m gonna spend jolly night at one of those clubs on a beach. And I’d like to be there
with you. Come on!
They are leaving for club- surfing.
Reynard (v/o)
God of Music… Princess… Who are them?
“B.M.”
36. Gangsters and Atamansha’s night club. Club is edifice with out a roof – starry sky instead.
Show of Atamansha and her guys: Gerard, Jacky and Mickey.
Hungarian Rhapsody #2 (F. List)
Wild performance at the Steinway (Gerard)
Atmosphere is luxurious cabaret. Sophisticated taste, joyfully, noisy, overcrowded.
Like Moulin Rouge, but dark oak panels, black tree furniture, marble. No windows.
Large fireplace occupies whole wall – there are huge pieces of grilled meat, and Jacky pours wine on them, using les seaus and barrels.
In the center is a pit with coals, Mickey is cooking fondue, the biggest caquelon. Guests are throwing cheese heads there, pouring wine from bottles, laughing, screaming.
The climax of a party.
Atamansha appears on a stage, near Gerard. Gorgeous dress, dances to List’s music.
Dance of Atamansha
music ends up with a rattle. Lamps and glasses are braking.
37. Gerard and Atamansha bow to public.
Ata:
Thank you all for coming, tonight we’ve got open roofless party.
And these doors are open to those, who love to spend a time jollyyyyyyyy!!!
Here’s working for you:
Jacky!
Jacky demonstrate a truck, his Eastern fighting skills, using katana, fan, etc.
Mickey!
Mickey smiles, 32 teeth, lift right eye- brow and shows his athletic muscles.
Gerard!
Gerard’ s tuxedo is wet, but he doesn’t stop to play, visa versa, puts his fortissimo into performance.
And me myself!
Atamansha takes daggers and throws them to burning fireplace, hits to meat and
wooden bois de chauffage.
F.(v/o)
Oh-oh-oh! What a precision!
F. (v/o)
What a woman.
F.(v/o)
Shall we stay?
38. Instead of an answer Atamansha sings “Feeling” ( F. Pappeti)
“B.M.”
At the end of the song, Ata gets official paper from the air and read it aloud:
Ata:
No drugs, please. The only drug is music. So, enjoy these vitamins, not those.
39. CHANGE to Evening in a capital of Dreamland.
City looks like a Castle, and calls Castle.
Like Le Merveille (France), but much more bigger and more luxurious.
The Royal Palace from outside. We can see a preparation for some important event in Castle.
Music “Fanfares” (Vita)
40. Morning. Inside the Palace. Two Kings in a hall.
Reader (v/o)
Two Kings, perfect gentlemen. Although sometimes they forget about it.
They are waiting for Princess from her Journey to home.
Their names are Hugh and Stew.
Age: three or four thousands years old,
Both of Their Majesties.
Twins.
Found a daughter in a flower of lily.
Do not know who is her mother.
Hugh’s key fraise is “By My Own Design”.
Stew’s key fraise is “ Unobtrusive Service of mine”.
Their thoughts, decisions and actions indicate on their Royal foreheads
by adverbs “STUPID” or “CLEVER”, depend on qualities of content.
They discuss favorite theme of them – the daughter.
41. To Kings
Hugh:
Imagine, My Majesty, I still can not get accustomed to a fact, that I am a father.
And You?
Stew:
My Majesty, I would not like to make you a complement, ‘ cause you are
Irresponsible,
Careless,
Lazy,
Dull idle,
Always concerned with your hares and pheasants,
Distracted,

Hugh is listening to his brother – eyes wide open.
Sign “Stupid” burns on Stew’s forehead, but Stew doesn’t see, of course.
So, where did I stop?
Why are you looking at me?
H.:
You are simply a nuisance, peevish and, by the way, idiot, of course.
Look at the mirror, critic / pip- signals go/
Stew looks at himself, shuts his mouth up.
Sign does not disappear.
Stew tries to powder it.
Does not disappear.
Stew scraps it with finger- nails. Hugh begins to help him.
Does not disappear.
They put l’emplatre nude on a forehead, trying to cover the sign.
Sign lightens through the cover.
S.:
Damned inheritances from our…
H. (indignant):
Do not touch our dear fifteenth grandmother from male side! She is not guilty, that “Stupid” signs appear too frequently on someone’s forehead!
A beat.
“B.M.”
H.:
What did you eat last night?
Hugh’s forehead is marked as “Clever”.
S.:
Sorry, my majesty. You are right. I slept bad, I had bad breakfast, it was awful day yesterday, I’m sorry, my majesty. Forgive me. I was wrong.
Don’t take it to your account.
Never take anything to your account.
42. Stew’s sign changes for “Clever”
H.:
It’s o’kay. Don’t worry. So… I can not still get accustomed to a fact, that I am a father.
And you, my majesty?
S.:
Though, I would not like to make you a complement, but I am too.
H.:
And we don’t know, who is our daughter’s mother.
S.:
Yes, we don’t know, and this is absolutely true.
H.:
The day, when we were travelling for pleasure,
S.:
We saw outstanding lily in a pond.
H.:
Inside a lily was a little baby,
S.:
And outstanding thing then started on.
H.:
The rainbow color spilled around like rivers.
S.:
And pure perfume Purity, so clear.
“B.M.”
H.:
And shadows and all objects disappeared.
S.:
And something magical on air, we felt it near.
So, we prepared for to look, to see, to hear.
H.:
And lily girl then opened brilliant eyes.
S.:
Her lashes were so long, enormous size!
H.:
And she was, there’s no words, she was so nice.
S.:
And now she’s nice as well as Vienna Valse (French).
H.:
She smiled at us and said in our language…
S.:
I was so pleased to catch nice tone of girlish voice…
H. playback of girlish voice:
“You were my Duddies, Mother just returned me
S. by girlish voice too:
To you, to people, for your happiness and joy.
H.:
I’ll be with you, my Duddies, yes, I promise.
S.:
Till fall in love with somebody I know.
H. his natural voice, as well as Stew:
And we adopted joyfully this nice miss.
S.:
We named her Lily, twenty years and three ago.
“B.M.”
43. Conversation is supported by illustrating chronicle, style like 1920’s, old film, black and white.
But with light shade of rainbow spectrum, when Princess appears.
H.:
Then girl with us, we’re riding to a Palace.
S.:
And she is laughing, Angel from the sky.
H.:
At home we filmed her, it was very clever.
S.:
Oh, tears are rolling down my face. I’m crying. Why?
H.:
Because it was so touching, so touching.
Splendid… It’s a family chronicle. It’s our family treasure.
44. CHANGE TO VIDEO, contemporary Digicam, black and white.
Little girl – Princess is looking at us. Serious eyes. Not girlish.
S. (v/o)
Come si chiamo?
Girl:
Mi chiamo Vita.
End of Video.
45. Palace again, nowadays.
S.:
So, to avoid discussions… we voted and…
H.:
Decided to call her simply Beautiful Princess.
S.:
No, Princess Beautiful.
H.:
I said, Beautiful Princess.
“B.M.”
S.:
Princess Beautiful.
H.:
Beau- ti – ful Prin-cess.
S.:
Princess Beautiful.
H.:
Do you feel yourself well?
S. , ready to burst into tears:
I feel myself beautifully. How do you think I feel myself after four thousands years of
daily Top- management in this country, with such a partner as you, my majesty?!
And Princess – she never argues.
H.:
I’ve got a headache. I’m tired.
S.:
It’s your karma, you feel tired almost everyday. It doesn’t depend on what you do,
It depend on Moon, wind and always “more and more tired”.
H.:
How could we rule the country, if we are… Listen, I hope she doesn’t fall in love with some guy
“she knows”, how do you think?
S.:
I wish to see him, before she will decide to fall in love with him. I must see this man before.
To gauge him at first. Beforehand. I don’t want my daughter to fall in Love with somebody
“she knows”, but “we don’t know at all”!
H.:
You are absolutely right, my majesty.
S.:
Look, signs disappeared.
H.:
Thanks, thanks, thanks. Mille grazie. Mille promille!
What did you prepared for her?
“B.M.”
S.:
Unobtrusive service of mine. And you?
H.:
Something by my own design.
S&H together:
Look, we don’t want her to leave us, we will feel lonely.
We miss Princess so much. We want her back home – only.
Hugh’s present is a cloud for flights through the sky.
Stew’s present is magical bond, which looks like white pen.
46. CHANGE TO
Morning news paper fills the surface of the screen.
Titles are:
WANTED: Atamansha and her team.
Portraits of them.
47.
Ata (v/o)
All is lie. Everything was clear and ideal. Why didn’t they look somewhere in a backyard or
in swimming pool?
48. News paper away, Atamansha and her team are on their yacht, sea and no signs of a bank around.
M. , ruling the yacht:
You mean, in our chill out, boss?
You know, boss, I filled the pool with ice- cubes, specially for drunkies, and one bottle of champagne as a morning surprise.
Ata.:
And what did you leave at the back?
M. , laughing:
Another one.
Gerard and Jacky count thick bags of money, and then began to count money, pulling them from
bags, in a most unintelligent way.
Ata enjoys Sun and Ocean.
Mickey enjoys himself.
“B.M.”
49. CHANGE TO
“Chill out” of Atamansha’s night club. Music is national African, which turns on blood in veins.
People with no costumes on them, wrapped into African tribes folk outfits,
having African hair- dos and hats, half- naked, are seating silently onto
palms and savanna trees. Their sun- glasses, mobile phones and even barbecue,
wine glasses are in hands.
Expressions on faces are: “new entertainment, which doesn’t thrill”, but “not very comfortable”.
(But it’s not an oasis, it’s just plants, with out water).
Keeping silence and not moving, because there are hungry lions, rhinoceroses,
awful African pigs and hyenas, waiting for them “downstairs”.
Someone’s mobile is ringing. The consequence is – angry elephants appear on a distance.
Quickly approach.
Reader, as soon as mobile starts ringing (v/o)
Consequences seem to be unpredictable. The rest of you, better set your phones to
“vibrator only”.
A beat.
Obviously, elephants are going to take people out of trees.
Nobody are worried.
Someone from palm:
A little bit too hot.
Ata’s voice (v/o)
Mickey, you my sweet! Well done!
50. CHANGE TO Reader, at his top, now in Tibet.
Reader:
Yes, different characters live in Dreamland, but all of them are high rank, excellent
masters at their Art . Isn’t it Main Value of human life – to be what you want to be,
to do well what you love to do and to share it with people, which are so closed to you, almost the same as you, feeling like one soul. One soul, consisting multiple parts, which join one to another, attracting themselves as well as the planet attracts sunrays to its face.
And to be together always, “no matter what’s happen”, no matter how difficult or hard.
To be together always, as well as mountains are always on their places.
Simply, forever, since Friendship happened in your life, wherever you are, no matter what time,
No matter what age or conditions.
That’s what we call Friendship here, in Dreamland. A beat. … But what we call Love?…
What is Love in Dreamland, What is Love, What is Love, What is Love?! ECHO.
“B.M.”
51. Princess. She just opened her eyes. Her state is morning time Nirvana of young beautiful Human, enjoying life, state and present mood. White curtains on her windows, she plays with magic bond.
Looks very calm, but it’s “thinking over” tranquility.
Walls are blue, floor is white fur, dark –blue silk on her bed, embroidered with precious stones - diamonds. Z- luxury. White lilies embellish the bed- room, flowers are growing from the floor.
52. Cloudy morning in Castle, white sky, dim sunlight. White sky, like in Norway.
“Eternity love” music (Vita)
Troubadour’s face, like a vision, transparent, - it means he thinks about her.
53. Vision disappears. Appears Mandala: white sand, three circles.
Reader (v/o):
They are so beautiful and clear. You feel harmony beside them. You feel their warm tender brilliance. They are ready to feel. They are prepared well for feeling, something they had never felt before. Both of them are Harmony and Perfection.
54. FADE IN DARK-BLUE, with stars and Moon, like a pearl in a sky. It’s early morning, North,
Time is 06:39, January, winter in St. Petersburg. Art Square.
Reynard- Troubadour enters the square from channel, (Benois ). Walks around trees, which are embellished with blue and yellow glittering garlands. White snow. Mental silence. Тихое утро.
Reader (v/o)
He breaths its air and listens to its silence. Something He was looking for…
55. Princess silhouette on big distance, like marble statue behind the window.
And Princess doesn’t sleep. Something woke her up early this morning.
Something She was waiting for…
A beat
It will happen today.
Irradiant shine appears around Princess - she noted Troubadour.
Troubadour sees her too - the same shine on him.
As soon as they “focus” each other, glittering sparkling gold “something” begins. It’s like rotating double lines, like planets; dancing and pulsing, as well as their beating hearts. Two lines meet in the air, making dynamic moving bound/ bridge between…
A beat.
They feel the same. I see it. Hope they will meet at last. They couldn’t meet for too long, and now their inside worlds met. And it’s so beautiful.
56. Troubadour smiles at Princess, though he didn’t know her as yet.
She looks at him, smiles at him too.
“B.M.”
It’s something new for both of them. They have never felt like that before. They feel a waterfall of Radiance and Joy, which goes from the top of Universe through their bodies and souls.
They feel its warmth, quiet flow and tender touch, and its light velvet motion through their veins.
To their lashes, through their skin and eyes.
57. Naughty smile comes to Troubadour’s eyes. Atmosphere of contemplation ends up.
He begins to entertain the girl, to attract her attention. He catches golden stars and begins to play with them. His dog is sitting beside him with its tongue out and smiling doggie smile.
58. Troubadour blows to his fingers and they become golden and shine - he draws by golden color in the air.
Oh, what’s he doing? What’s he doing?
Troubadour’s doing an air- letter, like a sensor voice mail
Reynard:
I’m making an air letter for her. We begin our sensor voice mail.
He writes by his finger –tips, letters are burning, dazzling.
“ I am Troubadour. Tonight we perform at Fullazey, me and friends of mine.
We are Bremen musicians. Show starts at eight p.m. . It’s an invitation.
Please, come!”
He frames his message into wonderful ornamental frame, polishes it with nice kinda kind smile and pushes it to Palace window, where Princess stands.
59. Troubadour begins half- voice
“Луч солнца золотого” (G. Gladkov/ Y. Entin)
Princess sings half- voice too. They hear each other , as if from far away, on a distance,
Отдалённый звук голоса.
Reader:
THEY RECOGNISE EACH OTHER.
Serious expression appears on Princess’ s face.
She takes her magic bond and writes in the air:
“I’ll come”
Reader:
A- AH. .. Something serious is going to happen… Something serious is going on.
They recognized each other by voice.
“B.M.”
60. CHANGE TO
Reader:
What is Love, here on Earth. Not in Universe, not in Dreamland. What is Love here on Earth, which every person knew once, or maybe twice, while living here, in such a wonderful, WONDERFUL place.
Love is when you are together, and two hearts become one, or, maybe, one heart finds his second. One’s second heart.
And the space around becomes warmer. And the light above becomes lighter. And the ground beneath disappears. And there are nothing except for endless ocean of time underneath.
The face, which lives in your mind and stays in front of your eyes.
And you look at outside World through the vision of this face.
The kiss, which puts into Nirvana, the smile, which takes you up tot he sky.
Those Words, which you couldn’t forget, even if years have been passing since moment, when they were pronounced, no matter when, no matter how long ago. But you couldn’t forget.
That person. That sense. That feeling.
When your smile penetrates you inside out. When your smile grows from your heart. When your love is smiling too, at something you don’t know. Something very sweet, big secret… just one of them, just one from endless majority of sweet big secrets of Love.
And nothing’s capable to set you free from it.
When you’re driving your car, and your love is sitting beside you, and the fresh wind from the Gulf caress your face.
Love on Earth, Love in Dreamland. The same.
Armenian flutes play.
Reader’s looking at the land from the top of new mountain.
61. Sleeping Angel with white wings: sleeps in a bad of roses (only roses- heads and leafs, and petals).
It’s a little cherub, in tunic, we don’t see Angel’s face. Angel covers his face by hand. It’s child.
Sleeping child with real wings. Les pied nu. Roses are rose, and red, and Bordeaux, and creme.
Angel is White.
Reader’s hand covers a child with petals blanket, like transparent nets. An Angel, asleep.
62. CUT TO
Maiden’s hands cover Princess shoulders with little fair fur- coat. Princess is putting on red complicated dress with sleeves. Naked shoulders.
63. DOUBLE SCREEN
Stadium, where preparation for Show is on. Well- organized, tuning, sound check, final touches, etc..
64. TRIPLE SCREEN
Wonderful beautiful people, going to see the Show of Bremen Musicians.
These people are Dreamlanders & Free Creators, deep intelligence and shine in their eyes.
Thousands of them, flowing towards the Stadium- Amphitheater.
Clothes are different styles.
“B.M.”
65. Kings- brothers- fathers are taking their evening meal, dining hall, they are going to visit Show too.
Their tuxedos and hats are prepared, as well as their accessories.
They look like “we go to theater premier”, theater goers.
End up supper, get up, go toward EXIT, chatting.
66. Atamansha and her gangsters, wear masks, seat in the car, en march, to Show like to the theater.
Reader:
It’s seems to me, All World, everybody gather here, tonight.
67. Princess, evening variant. Sitting at the table, writing something.
68. Princess and Troubadour scene, their shadows are walking swiftly, very fast.
Reminding of their dream, which they saw simultaneously.
Reader:
Just remind their dream and picture, and a tight between them become so strong, that they can not to think about anyone, except for person from a dream. They are sure, that it’s more real than reality. And now, time’s coming, and they will meet soon. Very soon.
Now, we gonna find them both.
69. Princess is awaiting for her carriage: eats grapes.
Show has already began. Sounds of Show are clear – and she listens to it on a distance.
70. French windows open suddenly, she goes to a balcony, there is her carriage at last.
This is shell (like Botticelli Venus’s) and swans. Swans will carry her. She jumps there,
And flies away, to the Stadium, where Troubadour is waiting for her coming.
71. Beethoven Symphony #9, from 1 part, remix. Princess flight.
Through the darkness, camera is her eyes.
Air streams, backs and wings of swans, lights of Stadium, straight ahead, flies towards,
On enormous speed. Night shines, like a comet.

Oh, it was really impressive. Nearly, not bad, but… very impressive! I’m impressed!
S.:
Yeah, successful performance. I must confess it. It’s great success.
Never seen anything like it, nothing the same, I’ve never seen before, anything like it.
I’ve never seen anything like it for whole my life!

Call a Princess! Call a Princess!
Do not wait for servants, run themselves upstairs to Princess’s apartments,
‘cause there’s no patience.

S.:
Why was she only in one open dress? While the temperature is twenty degrees below zero!!!
Doesn’t she understand, that she can OVERCOLD!!!

I loose my only child!
Where is my Guard? Where is my Police? Where are anybody here!
H. , perplexed, to himself:
He didn’t kidnapped her. She is not a kid already. She is adult. She warned us. It was a condition. It was her personal will. Listen to me, Stew, maybe we would better take it as a fact?
S.:
I DON”T HEAR YOU. I want to see my daughter. Who will be the heir?! She is the only heir. Throne is not a common cheer, only Royal…
H.: … Buttocks…
“B.M.”
S.:
Thank you,- could seat on it. To leave this kingdom – country with out a heir, with out succession line, when both of us will die…
H. , worried:

S.:
Idiot! Call the Royal Guard! Call the Royal Guard, not a Doctor! I need Royal Guard!

Sneezing.
Sorry…

Not a proper time for stopping “woman’s performance”!
F.:
Rey. Who are these mugs?
Reynard, starts up, and looks at mini- screen. Shudders:
What a disgust. I didn’t see them. Where are they from?
F.:
You know, I’ve got a tender soul and very weak nerves. No need to frighten me so awfully.
My heart…
Reynard:
