Louis XI, King of France:
[Watching an acrobat trying to balance on a ball]
What's he trying to do?
Procurator:
He's heard a rumour that the earth is round and he's attempting to walk to the Indies - the idiot.
The King's Physician:
[Interjecting]
It's not round, it's flat!
Louis XI, King of France:
The idiot? There are some famous geographers and mathematicians who also believe the earth is round.
The King's Physician:
[Interjecting again]
It's isn't round, it's flat!
Louis XI, King of France:
Do you recollect that letter we had from er... what's his name... oh, Chris... Christopher Columbus? Who wrote claiming that he could by steering a Westerly course, reach the Indies?
The King's Physician:
[Interjecting yet again]
It's flat!
Louis XI, King of France:
I'm greatly tempted to indulge the venture.
Procurator:
Our country could not afford the risk of such an enterprise.
Frollo:
Columbus! The man is the laughing stock of the Court of Spain.
Louis XI, King of France:
Who knows? The duke may prove Ferdinand's court is the laughing stock.
The King's Physician:
[interjecting for a fourth time]
It's isn't round.
Louis XI, King of France:
What are you mumbling about, doctor?
The King's Physician:
The earth isn't round. It's flat.
Louis XI, King of France:
How do you know?
The King's Physician:
I've observed it in all my travels over Europe - it's flat. Everywhere it's flat!
Louis XI, King of France:
Oh, let's listen to the play.
