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:

[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
