Her.

- Don't you know our customs?

- You saved the king's daughter.

- So you must marry her.

- You must.

You must!

And get half of the kingdom.

Half the library will do!

- I can't marry her.

- Why?

I'm already engaged.

- To whom?

- To Alyonushka.

- We've missed the bus again.

- We always do!

- This is an insult...

- To Your Highness!

This is an insult

to our Highness!

An act you should chastise!

- Chastise him!

- How should we chastise him?

- Put him into a sack.

- And then toss into the ocean.

The water is very cold!

- It will cool his head off

- And bring him to his senses.

Right you are, good nuns.

So be it!

Chief!

Splendid!

Bring him here!

Have a smoke!

- Have a smoke, boy!

- I don't smoke.

Dummy!

About face! Run!

Dear little mouse!

Where's my Vassya?

Don't be afraid.

I won't let anyone harm you.

- Where d'you think you are?

- In a house.

Not in a house. In a jailhouse!

All right, in a jailhouse,

but why d'you have to shout?

I'm not shouting, I'm angry.

One doesn't smile in a jailhouse.

I can't help it, I'm having fun.

You do it

to spite me, girl!

You're so nasty,

Your Immortality!

Vassya will teach you

to hold your tongue.

He won't.

You may look at your Vassya.

Do you see this sack?

Your fiancee is in it.

Vassya!

Don't be scared.

Just look at what's inside.

A heavy rock.

And a happy Jock.

- You devil!

- No, I'm not.

Yes, you are.

Fear not, I'm not a devil.

That's right. You are not.

- Who are you, then?

- A drowned man.

- And who are you?

- A drowned girl.

So, we're in the same boat.

I didn't drown myself though.

- Who did it?

- Good people drowned me.

Why?

For 11 years the Sea King

has threatened to sink our land

if we don't pay him a due.

So not to sink underwater,

we're being sacrificed to water.

- Who is being sacrificed?

- The beautiful girls.

One girl each year.

I happened to be the first.

I was considered

the loveliest of the girls.

How does one get back on land?

Don't even dream of it.

The only way to leave is

by permission of the Sea King.

So far he hasn't given

such permission to anyone.

- He's nasty, isn't he?

- No, he has an affliction.

- What's wrong with him?

- It's the "crowned dumps".

I'm so bored, I can't stand it...

Your Humidity,

shall we raise a storm?

And I call him a counsellor.

Some news - a storm.

There's no peace in a storm.

Suggest something

real new.

Your Humidity,

I suggest we call the beauties.

And I call her a counsellor!

Another fresh idea.

C'mon, call them anyway.

Fair girls,

come curtsy to our king.

Are they going to walk like that?

- What's wrong with it?

- They did that yesterday.

They did and they didn't, sire.
