(PANTING) The tailor killed

Seven? Bring him here.
(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)
Did you kill seven with one blow?
Yes, your honor. And how.
Well, how?
I was all alone. I heard them coming.
I looked up and I was surrounded.
-And?
-They were here, there, everywhere.
-A whole bunch of them.
-Hmm.
They came at me from the right,
from the left, right, left, left, right.
Yes, yes, go on.
They were coming closer.
The fight was on.
I swung and missed.
I missed and swung.
I swung again and again and again!
-They were right on top of me.
-And then?
And then I let them have it.
-(CROWD APPLAUDS)
-MAN: Bravo, bravo, bravo.
(CROWD STOPS APPLAUDING)
Brave tailor, I appoint you
Royal High Killer of the Giant.
Giant? But your majesty, I...
And your reward shall be
one million golden pazoozas.
Oh! No, thank you, sir.
-I... I couldn't...
-Two million pazoozas.
-But I... I don't...
-Three million.
Four, five, six...
-(WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY)
-What?
And the hand of the princess, Minnie.
-(CROWD EXCLAIMING)
-The princess!
Whoopee! I'll cut him down to my size.
