Rusty. Yas, sir, we most certainly is!
Duke. I suppose that means that you will keep faith with Her Highness?
Jarvis. Yes.
Duke. I never saw a man quite so anxious to be killed; but there it is: Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
Jarvis. I'd rather be an energetic fool than an angel with cold feet.
Duke. I am sorry for you.
Jarvis. (Crossing to Duke) Your Excellency, I decline your offer and your advice and your sympathy, and I'll tell you why. I once saw a gambler lay down four aces. Just think of it: four fat aces. He looked the dealer straight in the eye and said: "The play ain't natural." Now, you tried to have me arrested on the steamer, you have tried to block me in every move I have made. Now, all of a sudden you express the utmost anxiety as to what's going to happen to me in the castle. You even offer to buy me off. You advise me to stay out. Shall I take your advice? No. "The play ain't natural."
Duke. You have intruded into a matter which you neither understand nor appreciate. If, as you say, the play seems unnatural, throw the cards and stay out of the game.
Jarvis. No, I'll stay right in the game, but I am going to watch the dealer. Well, come along, Rusty. (Cross to Rusty.) Let's see if we can find the landlord. (Picking up bags.)
Rusty. I'd like to find a piece of chicken.
