Ruprecht's tantrum meeting 1st (mark) Lady in Dungeon.


After all that poise training (and perfect gypsy jazz from Stephane Grapelli) Freddie's first gig is to be introduced to their latest rich victim-lady ... in The Dungeon.

Martin is pure ballet, tipping things off the mantle, and 'wild and crazy' with the pots and pans.

...and shortly later...
...with a cork on a fork...
...at the impossibly loooong dining table...
"May I go to the bathroom...?"
"Why certainly Ruprecht."
...pause...
(facial nuances)
...pause...
"Thank you."

This is a remake of 1964's flaccid "Bedtime Story" wasting Marlon Brando, David Niven and Shirley Jones

He's sitting there with a trident, an eyepatch, and a cork on a fork. And then he wets himself at the table. I don't imagine the mark would be surprised at all to see that he had both eyes. It fits in with the rest of his shtick perfectly.
