(We open in a large wooden lodge hotel at the base of a mountain in the Aarondacks. The hotel looks like a very large, elaborate Swiss ski chalet. In fact, a close inspect shows chair lifts in the background, carrying skiers to the last runs of the season.)

(Cut to inside the hotel. The camera moves to a lavish ballroom, where an orchestra plays for a crowd decked out in their finest party clothes. We see Sach at the buffet table, stuffing his face with as much food as possible. Blinky just stares, his jaw wide open. Sach wears his "English" outfit from "In the Money." Blinky wears an obviously rented tux.)

*Duke wears a nice black suit. He tries to pull Sach away from the buffet. Chuck and Myron both wear rents tuxes.*

(Rachel, dressed in a simple red gown with a wide tulle skirt, talks to some other women near the bandstand.)

Duke: *He's given up on Sach; goes to Blinky and closes his mouth* Might not wanna keep that open so long.

Blinky: How does he do it? How does he eat like that?

Sach: (Hefts up two plates filled with food) It's a gift.

Duke: And a curse.

Chuck: *Rejoins them* Danny should be out momentarily.

Orchestra Leader: (He turns to the audience) Ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to introduce our singers for the evening. They're both well-known among New York theater-goers, and we hope you'll enjoy them, too. Mr. Danny Kaminsky and Miss Kathy McKenna!

Kathy: (Bounces out first and takes the microphone from the orchestra leader. She wears a simple but elegant blue gown with a bell-shaped skirt and a wide white sash around her waist) Hi there, folks! Danny and I came all the way up from the big city to give you some great songs! After all, it's not often one sings for royalty! The King and Queen of Ostrania will be joinin' us shortly! I always wondered how a King partied.

Danny: *Comes out, wearing his all gray suit and matching shoes; leans over Kathy* He parties like a King, that's how. *chuckles*

Kathy: (Rolls his eyes, but she's grinning) You're awful.

Danny: I know. *kisses her cheek; then to the band* How about a little "Best Things Happen," gentlemen?

Kathy: (Grins) Time for some dancin'! (Turns to the audience) You guys are free to do your own dancin' to this one.

*The orchestra begins to play "The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing.*

(Kathy and Danny duet on the Irving Berlin number. When they finish their vocals, they dance along to the orchestra with everyone else.)

Sach: (Points as a crowd of people move...to reveal a man who looks just like Danny) Hey Dukey, I think it's the king!

Duke: *Nods* Yeah, that's the King. *shakes his head* I still can't get over the likeness.

Myron: *His eyes widen upon seeing the King* Wow! Man, you guys weren't kidding!

Chuck: Those two could be twins!

Duke: They say they aren't related. I'm not so sure I believe that.

Blinky: (His eyes widen under his glasses) I'm not sure I do, either. (Bows before the King) Your Majesty, it's an honor to finally meet you.

Duke: *nods* Your Majesty, good to see you again.

King Josef: (Nods) Thank you. I'm glad to be able to visit your fair country. (Nods at Myron and Blinky) Who's your friends?

Duke: This is Blinky with the glasses, next to him is Myron, and the black-haired fellow on the end is Chuck.

Myron: It's nice to meet you, Sir.

Blinky: (He bows again) Likewise.

Chuck: *Nods* Good to meet you.

Duke: *leans over Blinky* Stop bowing.

Blinky: (Mutters to Duke) Sorry. I'm nervous! This is the first time I've ever met a king!

King Josef: My wife will be around shortly. She had some last-minute preparations to make.

Duke: How are things going, anyway?

King Josef: We're hoping for a lot from this summit. They discovered something very interesting in the hills of Ostrania shortly after you left that may fetch a great deal from the right people.

*"The Best Things Happen" finishes. Kathy and Danny bow. Kathy takes a seat at the side of the stage as Danny takes a microphone front and center.*

Sach: Oop! Here he goes. Women drop in the aisles when he does this one. We can't get Kathy thinking straight for ten minutes!

Danny: We're gonna slow things down a little, now. *turns to the orchestra* You guys know what to play.

*Indeed, the orchestra starts to play "Ballin' The Jack." Danny stands at the microphone, going through the motions, throwing his arms out to his sides and doing the whole bit.*

(Kathy literally has cartoon hearts in her eyes. She has to hold onto her seat to keep herself from sliding off of it.)

(As the camera pans across the room, we see she isn't the only one. The camera falls on, yes, the Queen Deborah of Ostrania standing in the doorway. She's holding onto the moulding for dear life, her eyes also filled with cartoon hearts.)

*The song ends. Danny bows deeply.*

Duke: *Shakes his head* I don't know how he does it. He can't talk to a woman without stuttering. Most of them don't even know he's alive! Yet every time he does this song, the women start dropping like flies.

Sach: That's HIS gift.

Blinky: He's gotta bottle that. I'd buy a whole rack!

Myron: *Nods* I'd get two racks!

Danny: House lights down, please. *the lights go down*

*A spotlight comes on over Danny. The orchestra begins, and he starts to sing "It Had To Be You."*

(Kathy lets out a huge moan that can almost be heard over the music. Deborah's legs go right out from under her; the hearts in both's eyes get bigger.)

Blinky: As long as this man is singing, he has it.

King Josef: I can understand my wife's interest in him when all of you visited.

Myron: *Shakes his head* Unbelievable.

Duke: I wish he'd told us he was going to do this. We could have all worn galoshes.

*The song ends, and the lights come back up. Danny bows again.*

King Josef: (Claps for Danny) Bravo! (He looks around) You know, my wife should have been here by now. She would have loved to have seen...good heavens! (He hurries over to Queen Deborah in the doorway) Darling, are you all right?

Deborah: Um-hm.

Sach: Oh, she's fine. That's how all ladies look after Danny goes into Bing Crosby mode.

*Duke elbows Sach.*

Duke: Sach, don't help.

King Josef: (He and Duke help Deborah to her feet) Are you all right, my dear?

Deborah: Hm? (Shakes her head) Um, yes, dear, I'm fine. (Takes his arm) Why don't we greet our guests?

Duke: *Mutters to Sach* I've got a bad feeling about this.

Sach: Yeah. If we don't get back to the buffet, all the cheese puffs will be gone!

Duke: You're impossible.

Sach: Thanks!

Blinky: Is that the lady you said Danny was really crazy about?

Sach: Oh, her. Pshaw! She's nice enough, but she ain't Kathy.

Duke: *sighs* She may not be Kathy, but she didn't have to be.

Sach: (Shrugs) Yeah, but she's taken now.

Duke: She was taken then, too.

*Danny and Kathy, with their arms around each other, walk over to join the group.*

King Josef: (He smiles) Hello, Danny. You certainly seem to have fans here.

Kathy: You're the King?

Kathy: (Looks at Danny) Why didn't you tell me there's two of you?

Danny: I forgot? *smiles* Hi, Your Majesty. It's good to see you again.

King Josef: Hello, Daniel. Charming as ever.

Deborah: (She smiles) Hello, Danny. It's nice to see you again.

Danny: *Can't help the blush that creeps onto his cheeks* Hello, Your Highness. It's good to see you, too. I wanted to thank you for letting Kathy and myself perform tonight.

King Josef: It's I who thanks you. I never did really thank you properly for all you did for us.

Deborah: Besides, we never did get to see you sing.

Danny: Aw, I just wanted to help. I don't need any thanks for that.

King Josef: (Frowns) There's another reason I wanted all of you here. I need someone I can trust. We think someone may be trying to sabotage this summit.

Duke: Sabotage the summit? Why?

King Josef: Shortly after you left, our people discovered a deposit of minerals in the hills near that railroad station. The minerals are so unusual, scientists in Europe haven't even given them names yet. We're not even sure what they can do...but we know a lot of people, with all kinds of intentions, would want them.

Danny: Wow!

Queen Deborah: Not only that, we think we know one person who would certainly do all he can to ruin us. Rupert, Michael's chief henchman, has been seen on these shores.

Sach: (Makes a face) I hate it when villains just gotta come back.

Danny: *Eyes widen* Rupert's here?

Duke: *Folds his arms* Figures.

Queen Deborah: I doubt he cares much about revenge.

King Josef: (Nods) He's not the type. He works for whomever will pay him the most...and he can flirt with.

Danny: Well, I don't particular feel like proving that he isn't big on revenge, thank you.

Duke: But if he's trying to break up the summit, we have to do something.

Danny: Can't I just stay here & be the entertainment?

King Josef: Oh, you'll be that, too. How would you like to sing in the cafe this week?

Danny: Really? I'd love to!

King Josef: If you can wow the crowd in the Lodge's nightclub like you did here, I don't think getting them to hire you will be a problem.

Sach: What about the rest of us?

Kathy: What about me?

King Josef: Both of you. You're both wonderful performers.

Danny: *Grins at Kathy* We're wonderful.

Duke: *Sighs* We're their managers. Chuck's here to report on the summit.

Kathy: Wow! I knew we were wonderful! (She curtsies awkwardly) Thank you, you're highness. You're a swell guy.

King Josef: The pleasure is all mine. (He frowns) I want all of you to spread out. Kathy and Danny, unless you have to return to the bandstand, you can help, too. I want you to keep an eye out for anyone who looks suspicious...or like Rupert. He's too fond of his looks to change them.

Sach: (Nods at Duke) How about him? He's pretty suspicious-looking.

Duke: *Glares at Sach* Sach...

Danny: We will have to get back to the bandstand shortly, but we'll keep an eye out.

King Josef: (Nods) Please do that. We do have bodyguards, but they all know you. (Smiles) Oh, and Charelton and the General send their regards. They're acting as regents while we're in America.

Danny: *Grins* Awe, that's nice. Return my regards when you see them.

Queen Deborah: (She smiles) I'm so glad we were able to meet you again! (Grins at Danny) I hope you sing another song like that last one. It was (blushes a bit) quite good.

Danny: *Blushes again* Uh, yeah...

Kathy: (Tugs at Danny) Honey, I hate to break up old times, but we really need to get back onstage now.

Danny: Huh? Oh! *smiles at the King and Queen* We'll see you later! *grabs Kathy's hand and tugs her back to the stage*

King Josef: Odd fellow. (He smiles, but it's a strange, knowing smile)

Queen Deborah: He's such a good man. Such a dear.

Sach: (Mutters to Duke) I think she still likes him.

Duke: *Nods; mutters* Yeah, I think so, too. And he was doing his best to ignore her, except when he was blushing.

Sach: Kathy's gonna get MAD again.

Duke: Yeah, she is.

Sach: I just hope they remember Deborah's married now.

Duke: She was engaged when they met and it didn't matter.

*The lights dim as the orchestra starts playing. Danny stands front and center at the microphone again. Kathy sits off to the side. Danny starts to sing "The Way You Look Tonight."*

Queen Deborah: Oh my... (She sags; Josef grabs hold of her)

King Josef: Please, dear. You're in public.

Sach: Uh, maybe we'd better go look for Rupert while everyone is watching Danny.

Blinky: I think that would be a good idea.

Myron: I think so, too.

*The camera pans to the back of the room. It stops on the perturbed face of Sheila Saunders.*

Sheila: Zelda, get a hold of yourself!

*The camera moves down near the floor. Zelda is attempting to sit up against the wall, a dazed look on her face and hearts in her eyes. She sighs.*

Sheila: (She helps Zelda to her feet) What DO you see in that man? He's cute and sweet, but he's so...clumsy.

Zelda: That's what I like. *sighs again*

Sheila: Zelda, pay attention! We're here to meet our contact from Ostrania and find out more about this summit, not to drool over the singer.

Zelda: I'll pay attention when he shows up.

(That's when a figure in a black cloak appears before the ladies. He swishes it off to reveal Rupert.)

Rupert: I hope that reaction's for me.

Zelda: *Slight frown* No. *nods toward the stage* The singer.

Rupert: (His eyes widen...then, he grins) Ahh, the pretender. I wondered what happened to him. I didn't know he was so popular.

Sheila: He's not. He's a minor comedian and performer on the New York stages and in nightclubs.

*Zelda frowns deeper.*

Rupert: You know, he's really quite good. Almost every woman in here is nearly fainting with pleasure. (Grins wolfishly at Sheila) Except for you, my dear.

Sheila: He's not my type. I like men who can stand upright for five minutes.

*Zelda rolls her eyes.*

Rupert: I like a woman who likes a good man.

Sheila: I knew we'd enjoy working with you. You're so dashing.

Rupert: You're not bad yourself.

*Zelda starts coughing.*

Rupert: Yes, well, perhaps we should begin our plans?

Sheila: Yes...

Zelda: Please.

Rupert: You two distract the Queen. I'll handle the King.

Zelda: Sure.

(Cut back to the stage. Kathy goes to Danny as the song ends, sighing.)

Kathy: That was so romantic. (Makes a face) But you promised you'd do another song with me!

Danny: How about right now? How about "A Fine Romance?" *puts an arm around Kathy* I think it's rather fitting, don't you?

Kathy: You bet!

*Danny and Kathy sing the duet "A Fine Romance." Danny soon spots Rupert flanked by Sheila and Zelda. He nudges Kathy and nods in the direction they're headed. They’re getting closer and closer to the King and Queen. Danny and Kathy are only half-way through the song and can't stop without tipping off that something is wrong and creating complete and unwanted havoc.*

Kathy: (Narrows her eyes; whispers to Danny during an instrumental break) Ain't that those chicks who are always causin' trouble? I heard the others talk about them.

Danny: *Nods* Yeah, that's them. *sighs* I saw Zelda nearly pass out in the back during the previous couple songs.

Kathy: What are they doin' here?

Danny: I think they're working with Rupert. He's headed right for the King and Queen.

Kathy: Rupert?

Danny: Bad guy from Ostrania. I had a pretty nice duel with him.

Kathy: Oh, THAT Rupert. The one we're supposed to be lookin' for. (Grins as he dips her) You had a duel? I wish I could have seen that!

Danny: Yeah, I did.

Kathy: (As they dance) I wish we could end this number right now, but we have at least two more after this!

Danny: I'm worried. I KNOW Rupert has bad intentions, even worse if he has Sheila and Zelda with him. Who knows what he might have in mind?

Kathy: I hope the others catch them soon! They've gotta be in that crowd somewhere!

Danny: *Watching the King and Queen* Oh, they're almost to them, and I don't see the others!

Kathy: Can't we make a signal or somethin'?

Danny: Not without causing undue attention. I hate this. *His eyes widen; gasps* Rupert’s got a knife!

Kathy: What?!

Danny: I think he's gonna try to stab the King!

(Cut to the floor. The King turns around...just in time to see Rupert pull out a knife and try to plunge it into him.)

King Josef: My god!

*A hand grabs Rupert's wrist. We see the angry face of Duke, the owner of the hand.*

Duke: Subtlety clearly isn't one of your finer points, huh, Rupert?

Rupert: Would you get out of my way, Coveletiske? I'm doing a job here!

King Josef: I was wondering what happened to you, Rupert.

Duke: You need a new job, Rupert.

Rupert: Not this time. Not only does this one pay me well, but my employer is quite a dish.

Duke: Dish? Your new boss is a woman?

Rupert: Do you think I'd call a man a dish?

Duke: *Slight smirk* Times are changing.

Rupert: Watch it, Coveletske. I don't see women calling you a dish, either. Or anyone else.

Duke: *pushes the hand with the knife away* And you ought to watch where you're aiming that thing. You could hurt someone with that, you know.

Rupert: Or the king?

Duke: Leave the King alone. *shoves Rupert*

Rupert: That's not very nice, Coveletske. Why don't you just take your little friends and stay the hell out of my business? (Shoves him hard...right into the buffet table.)

Sach: Dukey! Don't go there! You'll ruin the food! (He and Blinky hurry over to Duke)

(The King finally punches Rupert right in the jaw as Deborah pulls away, surprised.)

Duke: *Glares at Sach* As long as the food goes unharmed, who cares what happens to me, right? *Sighs* Come on, we have to help the King.

Sach: (Points to the King and Rupert fighting) I dunno. The King looks like he's helpin' himself pretty well.

(Rupert finally clips the king good on the side of his head, knocking him into his wife's arms.)

Duke: Not any more. *Socks Rupert in the jaw*

(Rupert is knocked back into several people! He runs after Duke when he finally gets to his feet, aiming for his jaw.)

*Duke begs him on and flips him when he gets close. The two go sprawling on the floor.*

(Rupert grabs Duke by the shirt and hits him so hard, he goes out a window! Sach and Blinky follow him.)

*Duke is just getting up as the others come outside. He touches his lower lip to find it split.*

Sach: Want me to kill that guy for you? He damaged your looks!

Blinky: He's getting away!

Duke: Sach, you couldn't kill a dead bug! *Groans* Let him get away. As long as the King and Queen are okay. They ARE okay, right?

Blinky: We ain't sure. Myron and Chuck are in there with them now.

*Chuck and Myron come out, holding the King between them. Queen Deborah’s right behind them.*

Myron: Are you sure you're okay, Your Majesty? Rupert hit you pretty hard.

King Josef: I'm fine. Just fine. (He almost collapses into the arms of the two young men.)

Queen Deborah: Don't be stubborn. You're not fine.

Chuck: *Makes a face* You're not very light, either.

Myron: *Eyes widen* Nope, you're almost out, Sir.

Queen Deborah: You boys get him up to his room. I'll have the bodyguards search for Rupert while I explain that his highness wasn't feeling well, went upstairs for the rest of the night, and doesn't want to be disturbed.

Chuck: Yes, Your Highness.

*Chuck and Myron head off with King Josef in tow, making for his room.*

Duke: This is just great.

Sach: I hope the King's ok.

Blinky: He probably has a concussion. Maybe we should call a doctor.

Duke: I'm worried about word getting around that he's been hurt.

Sach: We could always have Dan announce onstage that he's ok.

Duke: And then what if he's unable to attend the summit?

Sach: Dan could do it! He's stood in for King Josef before!

Blinky: They do look a great deal alike.

Duke: I don't think that's such a good idea. Yes, Dan looks a great deal like him, but he can't handle the job! He gets too overwhelmed.

Sach: Pshaw! It's only for a few days. Nobody can make off with the king with all of these people around.

Duke: I don't know.

Deborah: (She comes outside again) Danny and Kathy are announcing that King Josef isn't feeling well. He's going up to his room and shouldn't be disturbed for the rest of the night. (Makes a face) Which is true. Your friends Myron and Chuck are calling the police and the nearest doctor now.

Duke: Wonderful.

Sach: Your ladyship, what are ya gonna do if he doesn't feel better in time for the summit tomorrow?

Queen Deborah: I don't know. I'll take over myself, but I'm not sure how much they'll listen to me. They're used to my husband taking over everything. They might even try to cancel. (Frowns) I can't let them cancel. We need to find takers for these minerals. They could change the world!

Duke: *Sighs; it clearly pains him to say the following* Which means you really need Josef there, or someone who can pretend to be him.

Deborah: (Nods) Exactly. (Smiles) Do you think Danny would do it again? I'd tell him everything he needs to know and be there every step of the way. It would just be for the one summit meeting. He just has a concussion. He'll probably be fine after that.

Duke: I'm pretty sure he'll do it.

*Kathy and Danny come outside, both looking worried.*

Danny: We saw the whole thing from the stage! And we saw the King being taken to his room. Is he going to be okay?

Kathy: Yeah! Poor guy! That jerk with the thin little mustache really had it in for him.

Deborah: No, he isn't. The doctor should be here soon, but we think he has a rather nasty concussion.

Kathy: Oh, that's too bad.

Danny: That's awful!

Deborah: Danny, I was wondering if you'd do us another favor.

Danny: You mean, take his place?

*Duke frowns, but says nothing.*

Deborah: Danny, the summit must go on as planned. It'll only be the one meeting. After tomorrow, he should be well enough to manage the rest. I'll help you.

Kathy: Oh no. Nothin' doin'.

Sach: Aw come on! Queen Deb is in a jam, an' she's a friend!

Blinky: (Nods) Not to mention royalty.

Danny: *Nods, but it appears a bit dazed* I'll do it.

Kathy: (Makes a face) Aw, Dan...

Sach: Kathy, it's for a friend!

*Duke is shaking his head.*

Deborah: Miss McKenna, I'm going to tell you now that I have no designs on your sweetheart. I'm happily married. We're just friends. He's the only one who can really help us.

*Danny's face falls a little at the admittance, but he still nods in agreement.*

Danny: *Turns to Kathy* The summit needs the King to attend or else everything will fall through. Ostrania may lose everything! I have to help!

Kathy: Well, all right. But only because they really need you.

Danny: Thank you! *gives Kathy a quick kiss*

Kathy: (Blushes) Yeah, yeah.

Deborah: Kathy and Dan, I believe you have an act to finish. The rest of you, come with me. Josef ought to know what's going on, too.

Danny: *Grinning* Right! *takes Kathy's hand and pulls her along, headed back inside. Duke is still frowning.*

Deborah: (Turns to Duke) You, Danny, and the others will meet me in our rooms on the top floor, the Presidential Suite, for breakfast. We'll dress Danny and tell him what he needs to know about the summit then.

Deborah: And I need not remind you that, once again, this must be kept in the utmost secrecy.

Duke: *Nods* Of course, Your Highness.

Deborah: I'll see all of you tomorrow morning, then. (She heads off, several men in dark suits trailing after her.)

Sach: I like her. She's so...queen-y.

Blinky: Wow. No wonder Danny fell for her. She's somethin' else.

Sach: Hey Dukey, wanna go back to the party and see if they have any food left?

Duke: I've lost my appetite, Sach.

Sach: Ok, Dukey! I'll bring you a doggy bag for later.

Blinky: Tired, Duke?

Duke: Troubled. I don't like this frame-up.

Sach: Yeah! What's with that Rupert, anyway? What is he, a comic book villain?

Blinky: He seems to have the ability to return from the dead, from what all of you say.

Duke: That, and I'm curious about who he's working for.

Blinky: (Nods) He said it was a woman.

Sach: Maybe we could find out.

Blinky: We could ask people if they saw Rupert talking to anyone in particular.

Duke: I might just feel a little bit better after we find out.

Blinky: Why don't we go see Myron and Chuck and find out how the king is?

Sach: But the buffet...

Duke: Sach, we'll order room service on the King's expense account, okay?

Sach: Ok! Do you think they'd have pickles and bananas on rye with mustard?

Duke: Order separately and put them together yourself! Now, come on! *grabs Sach's arm and drags him along*

Sach: Hey! (Blinky just sighs and follows.)

(Cut to Queen Deborah and King Josef's suite. It's a large, airy room with heavy wooden furniture like the hunting lodge in Ostrania. There's large windows with glorious views of the woods and mountains. Several men in white chef's uniforms are setting up what looks like a large breakfast in the living room area, with ham, eggs, pancakes, waffles, and sausages on silver platter. Strawberries and orange and grapefruit sections lay in small porcelain bowls. Plates await the guests.)

*There's a knock at the door.*

Deborah: Mr. Oberman, would you be so kind as to open the door for our guests?

(One of the three men in black suits nods and opens the door. Everyone troops in, including the ladies.)

Deborah: Goodness! I didn't know I was having a breakfast party.

Duke: I'm afraid there was no way to leave anyone behind, Your Highness.

Danny: *His eyes widen as he looks around* Wow...

Myron: *Grins* Nice joint.

Chuck: This is quite the spread.

*Danny starts to wander about the room.*

Sach: Food! (He lunges for the breakfast dishes)

Duke: Sach!

Sach: (Between bites of pancakes) Wha?

Deborah: Why don't you all sit down and enjoy this wonderful meal? Help yourself.

Sach: Ok! (He loads up his plate.)

Duke: *Sighs, shaking his head* Sach...

*Danny is still wandering around the room as the others take up seats at the table.*

Deborah: Danny... (She touches his shoulder gently) It might help if you had something to eat. The summit is still a few hours away. We have the time to prepare for it.

(Kathy makes a face at this, but choose to stuff her mouth with scrambled eggs instead.)

Danny: Hm? Oh. Okay.

Duke: *Watches as Deborah leads Danny to the table* Your Highness, how's the King this morning?

Deborah: (Sighs) Yes, he has a concussion. He should be up and around by tomorrow...in time for the remaining two days of the summit, but not today's. Thankfully, nothing seems to be broken or permanently damaged.

Duke: Thankfully.

Deborah: (Turns to Danny) We'll dress you in the royal military uniform my husband was going to wear to the summit meetings. We're hoping it'll persuade the other countries to agree to export our minerals, show them how strong and capable our country is.

Sach: (Between bites of eggs smothered in ketchup and peanut butter) Yeah, we already know he looks good in that.

Danny: *nods; he's pushing his eggs around on his plate* Okay. I can do that.

Kathy: I can't wait to see him in that. (Squeezes his arm) I'll bet he looks dashin'.

*Danny turns a grin at Kathy, though there's something not quite right about it.*

Duke: And you have everything that Danny needs to know about the minerals. Did the King have a written speech or something similar?

Deborah: (Nods) Yes, he did have some speeches written for the opening statement, but after that, we're going to be fielding questions. I'll help Danny as best I can there. I've been doing research on our mineral deposits, too.

Danny: *Smiles* Then you can teach me everything you know.

Deborah: (Sighs, ignoring the poisonous look on Kathy's face as she grabs Danny's arm) I'll teach you everything I know about the mineral deposits. My husband (emphasizes that word) should have the papers in his desk in our room.

Danny: I'm a willing student.

Duke: In the meantime, the rest of us will look for Rupert and dispatch with him before he does any more harm.

Sach: Yeah! Let me at 'im! I'll tear him to ribbons!

Blinky: (Blanches) Can't we just turn him over to the police?

Deborah: If you can keep him there. He's a slippery fellow.

Myron: I wouldn't mind a piece of him.

Chuck: We've dealt with slippery characters before.

Deborah: Just be careful. In addition to being slippery, he's also dangerous. Even if he didn't kill Michael - his lover Annette said his death was accidental - I know he's killed other men before on behalf of Michael and others.

Sach: (Shudders) We saw that, too. He's real good with anythin' that's got a blade.

Deborah: It gets better. He's also a crack shot.

Duke: Figures.

Danny: I wonder if he'd try something at the summit.

Deborah: (Frowns) I don't know. There would be too many people there for him to attempt something like last night.

Duke: I wish I could be as sure as you, Your Highness.

Danny: I don't know. He wouldn’t try it with all those people!

Deborah: Oh yes, he would.

Duke: We'll stop him before he gets the chance to even think about trying anything.

Deborah: I'm going to let all of you finish your breakfast while I bring something to my poor husband. (She nods and takes a silver tray with a few small platters) Excuse me. (A man in black opens the door for her; she enters, balancing the tray)

Sach: Gee, I hope a queen brings me breakfast in bed someday.

Kathy: (Looks at Danny) I'll bring you breakfast from the diner in bed if you get sick.

Blinky: Do you think we'll be able to catch that Rupert fellow?

Kathy: I won't let anyone hurt my Danny!

Sach: Danny, are you ok? You look pale.

Kathy: The queen's right about one thing. He needs to eat. He'll be fine. (She squeezes Danny's shoulder) Don't you worry, honey. I have faith in you.

Danny: *Swallows hard; he's been pushing his eggs around the whole time; he puts his fork down and shakes his head* I'm not hungry.

Duke: *Raises an eyebrow, but chooses to not say anything* Why don't we finish up here and let Danny work on the information about the minerals? We can head out and start looking for Rupert.

Sach: But I'm not done with my breakfast!

Duke: *With a growl* Then finish, Sach.

Sach: Ok! (He grabs spoonfuls of everything on the table, then takes two pancakes in his hands and grabs a waffle) Ok, done! Can we get a doggy bag?

Duke: *Sighs* Fine.

Sach: (He goes to the man in black) Ok, con-si-ergie, I want a bag filled with everything on the table to go, and I want it sent up to my room. (He hands the man a quarter) Here's a tip for you. Go buy yourself a new face. (He hurries over to Duke and takes a bite of his waffle, between chews) All reffy!

Duke: *Pinches Sach's back* Come on, you glutton.

*Myron chuckles. Chuck grins.*

Sach: Danny, I hope you have a nice time. (He hands him the waffle) Here. If anyone tries to shoot at ya, use it for a shield.

Danny: Thanks, I think.

*Duke drags Sach out, the others following. Kathy gives Danny a parting kiss. Danny still looks wary and just a bit dazed.*

(We fade out on the dazed Danny still holding the half-eaten waffle.)
