Why don't I have my throne today?
I needed the room because
I requested a bard.
- [BOTH] Oh no...!
- What ?
We do need to hear what goes on
around the world!
We know what goes on.
I have spies doing
two reports a week.
- Your spies don't sing.
- And that's fine.
What matters is what they say.
For us, what matters is the singing!
♪ In the woods... Young boy fell... ♪
♪ healed up so well ♪
♪ he could stand the next day ♪
(aggressively mumbles)
Right. No one can tell who fell...
No one cares!
Who asked you to focus on the lyrics?
It's nice as background sounds!
Who's the guy who fell?
- Where?
- What do you mean "where"?
You said a guy fell in the woods.
Ah maybe, but I couldn't tell you.
Those get passed down from bard to bard.
They go around for a week...
I don't have details.
Next one?
Go on! Roll, roll!

Do you have any more
hot news like these?
Did you pay for an hour
or a half hour?
- Ah, a half hour I think.
- Thank God !
A last one, then I'll have my hot meal.
You'll eat with us then.
- He eats too?!
- Yes, that's how they proceed now.
Yes, and it's important to us, because…
the bards' remuneration system
is booming right now.
They're trying to f*ck us over.
I might have something about that.
♪ Our bard friend did not feast
left without bread or fruit ♪
♪ when they sang for the burial
of King Lot who d*ed in bed ♪
W… What?! What did you just say?!
Em… Those bastards threw them out
without even a piece of cheese!
No but, we don't care about the bard…
- After that!
- After what?
After, with… King Lot, who d*ed?
What are you on about?
I don't know! Those get passed on
from bard to bard!
- You talked about a burial!
- Yes, I may have…
- I talk about so m…
- Try to remember, for God's sake!
♪ King Lot, na na na ? ♪
♪ King Lot… Em… No…
♪ For the… The burial… Ah!
Look! I don't know…
Anyway, I'm done, now!
So em…
I'll start with crudities.
If you don't mind.
I guarantee you'll start remembering!
How do you expect me to concentrate!
Leave him alone, he didn't even eat !
If King Lot d*ed, I assure you
it's much more important
than crudities!
If King Lot d*ed I wonder
what your spies
are doing! You probably pay
them much more than
two gold coins and a hot meal!
Yeah, well, let's go! Carry on!
♪ Our bard friend didn't feast… ♪
♪ Left without bread or fruit… ♪
By the way, I'm warning you,
it's the same for me!
If you let me leave without eating
there'll be a song about you next week!
Go on, by God!
Next… Yes, em…
- ♪ when they sang for the burial… ♪
- Well?!
- ♪ of… ♪

♪ of… Prince… of K… ♪
I lost it.
I lost… I lost it.
(sighs)
When I say he's dead, it doesn't
necessarily mean he's dead.
It's just a song!
I don't see why you'd sing about
dead King Lot if he's not dead.
It's dramatic!
If there are old folks,
sometimes they'll cry.
We earn more money like that.
Normally I pass the hat around.
For example, you're quite popular
so when I sing that you're dead
you can't imagine how much I get!
