Quotes 

• Cook : What's your trade, fool? It can be scratched on your gravestone.

  The Storyteller : I am a teller of stories. A weaver of dreams. I can dance, sing, and in the right weather I can stand on my head. I know 7 words of Latin, I have a little magic...

  [the guards lower their halberds to bar his way, The Storyteller gestures them to remove the weapons] 

  The Storyteller : and a trick or two. I know the proper way to meet a dragon, I can fight dirty but not fair. I once swallowed thirty oysters in a minute. I am not domestic, I am a luxury and, in that sense, necessary.

• The Storyteller : And so, Majesty, I have no story to tell.

  King : [tearful]  But that's the best story I've ever heard

  [claps his hands] 

  Cook : And me!

  [cries and claps also]
