:25:18
- Are you recovered?
- Yes, yes.
:25:21
And much beholden to you
for your kindness, sire.
:25:25
Yet there is one question I would ask.
:25:27
- What is it?
- I heard the jester call you "lvanhoe."
:25:31
But lvanhoe is Cedric's son,
and Cedric called him dead.
:25:35
Who are you, then?
:25:36
I am King Richard's envoy.
:25:38
Does that make us friends or foes?
:25:41
It does not make you my foe, sire...
:25:43
...but then, I am allowed no king.
:25:45
- Why not?
- Because I am allowed no country.
:25:51
I am deeply in your debt, sire.
:25:53
Tell me how I can repay you.
:25:56
I seek 150,000 marks of silver...
:25:59
...the price of Richard's ransom
from Leopold of Austria.
:26:02
Glance around you, sire.
What you see is all we've saved...
:26:06
...from every home we tried to make.
:26:09
A toy or two from every land
that cast us out.
:26:12
I am not a rich man, Sir lvanhoe.
:26:14
No, but you are the patriarch
of your tribe.
:26:18
Tell your people Richard must be ransomed.
They will find the wealth.
:26:22
I see you love Richard, sire...
:26:24
...but he was no friend to my people.
:26:27
Our synagogues were looted
to send him on his crusades.
:26:30
Do you prefer the persecution
of his brother, John?
:26:34
There is little to choose between Black John
and Richard, yea and nay, if you are a Jew.
:26:40
Then I pledge you this, Isaac.
You're a race without a home or a country.
:26:45
Deliver Richard, and he will deliver
your people from persecution.
:26:49
My friend, you ask for more
than we can give.
:26:53
- And you offer more than Richard can give.
- Do you doubt my word?
:26:56
Write down whatever terms you want.
I shall sign them in King Richard's name.
