The Journeyman

The Journeyman
(An eighteenth century marquis tries on clothes in front of the mirror.)

Marquis: How do you like this one?

Servant: (Singing) 'They seek him here, they seek him there...'

Marquis: I asked you a question.

Servant: (Continuing) 'He thinks he is a flower to be looked at...'

Marquis: I say, are you calling me a ponce? That's an insult to my honour! (He draws his flintlock and shoots the servant.)

Announcer: Tonight on The Journeyman, the Marquis shoots his manservant and must do his own grocery shopping.

(A market. The marquis haggles with a merchant.)

Marquis: I gave you seven duckets.

Merchant: Yes, but it costs ten.

Marquis: But there's seven on the counter.

Merchant: That means you need three more. Didn't anyone ever teach you how to add?

Marquis: I say, are you calling me a count? That's an insult to the title of a marquis! (He draws his flintlock...)
