01x08 - The Bet

[bunniefuu]

[Music]

Little Amadeos, two centuries ago.

Little Armadeos, the star of Coco,

master of harmonies, beautiful melodies

of frozen symphonies, each one a

masterpiece.

However, there's an envious rival trying

to put traps in your

way. But he'll always end up failing

whenever you begin to

play. And when we hear your magic music,

all sorrows fly

away. Little amos, your music and your

sounds. Little Armados, they make the

world go round. No matter what will be

with your fantasy, you'll make it

finally cuz music is the

key. The bet.

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Just a minute. I'm coming. Hello,

Kayatan. Hey, we were going to meet

Amadeas. Did you forget?

No, but I'm playing right now. Well, not

with me. Come upstairs. All right.

Hello, Mr. Mozart. Amadeus wants to see

me. Oh, well, come in then.

Here I am, Amadeus. Hey, are you working

on a brand new piece of game? No, I'm

just trying to put something together.

Well, let's hear it then.

But it's not finished yet. There's

definitely something missing.

Could it be the rhythm? Maybe.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Yes, of course. That's it.

[Music]

plus some bird

song as a solo.

That's good. The violin.

But before I forget it all, I better

write it down.

All right, then. I'll come back later.

See you, Amadeus.

[Music]

My dear Archbishop, I'm writing to

remind you, oh dear, my head, of the

invitation to my birthday tea party

tomorrow, the usual phrases, and send it

immediately to the Archbishop. Yes, my

lady. Anything else? I need something

for my migraine. This headache has been

torturing me all day long. It's

unbearable. Terrible. We could call for

Dr. Barisani my lady. Oh no, don't. The

pain will have cleared up soon by

itself.

[Music]

Hopefully, the main

team. Just like

that. Very

nice. And finish.

Children, you're supposed to be

practicing and not playing such title.

Oh, but that's no titt, father. I've

just composed this myself. I'm sure

you're going to like it. Just listen to

it. I'm sure Lady Kiss and the bishop

will like it.

I don't have any time for that now. And

don't forget to practice those scales.

Your mother and I will be away for the

day. And when we get back, I want you to

play that piece faultlessly. Do you

understand? Don't worry about us,

father. I can play the scales

blindfolded anyway. And anything else

you might wish to hear, you can be sure

of that. Have a nice trip.

Come on, Devilious. Tell me, what can we

present the countest with on her

birthday tomorrow? Um, tomorrow. Haven't

you got any good disposals? Her

proposals? Flowers, perfume, or precious

jewelry? That's what you would live her

give her. Not me. A woman like Lady

Kisskiss already has all these things.

Well, why did you ask me then? Don't be

so touchy. What would please the

countest? I think I know something. One

of my superb compositions. That's

marvelous. A competition. Uh

composition. And I already know the

composer.

Oh no. Oh yes. You see to it that little

Amodus is here at 6:00 sharp. I will

discuss uh discuss it with him. He shall

be amply rewarded. He's supposed to

compose a whole piece of music by

tomorrow. He'll never do it. Your

excellency. Of course he will. Amadas

can do it. He will never do it. The boy

is extremely talented. Oh, Poppycock.

Poppyccock. I bake your pardon. I bet he

won't do it. Well, all right. We have a

bet, Dillius. My stake is half of the

Episcopal household. Half of your

household. All right, we have a bet. If

you drink, uh, think so. Right. We're on

your way then. Send a herald to the

Mozarts. Go on, hurry. We have to count

every penny three times over. It can't

go on like this. I know that, my dear.

That's why we're to meet Count

Schlickenorf today. He has asked me to

give him some violin lessons to his son.

That should certainly help a little.

Surprise me, my dear. Surely that's no

solution. Leopold, you'll pay well. I'm

only doing this for the education of our

children. Oh, well, maybe you're right.

They really are talented. Let's hope

they don't get up to anything while

we're away.

[Music]

Oh my, Monty. This is the chance of a

lifetime for us. At last, we will become

as rich and famous as we deserve.

Great idea. But how will you prevent

Amadeos from writing the new

composition? That's easy. I simply won't

send a messenger so the bishop can wait

till kingdom come. H no, the bishop will

find out. Oh, smart, Alec. Then you

think of something. Why don't we send

the children directly to Lady Kiss Kiss?

I beg your pardon. Hey, Kiss Kiss

doesn't know anything about the bed and

the surprise. And so Amados will not

hear anything about the bed. Nobody will

be suspicious because it's not unusual

for her to invite Amados to her home. Oh

yeah, that's very good. He will have no

chance to leave her this time. That's

very clever. I hope she feeds him until

he bursts. And what if the bishop asks

questions afterwards? Then the messenger

is to blame. He's just messed everything

up. Servant Lucky, where the heck is

that darn messenger? I'm so sorry, your

excency. At your command. Tell young

Master Mozart and his sister they have

to go and see Lady Kisskiss. This is the

bishop's order. Did you get that?

Certainly. Lady Kisskiss. Immediately.

Young Master Mozart at your command,

sir. Well, what are you waiting for? Go

and deliver the

message. Everything is working out well.

Fantastic. I'm sure Papa will like this

piece,

too. Mhm.

Good day. I have an episcopal message

for young master boat. Straight

upstairs. Which floor does it? Follow

the music.

[Music]

Uhhuh. Hello. Is anybody at home?

Amadeas. Nana, did you hear that? It's

Kayatan. And there's a ring at the door,

too.

Will you come down now? Sorry, I can't.

We have to practice. You'll be picked up

by a coach at 6:00. Shop, it's always

the same. I'm aas that was the bishop's

messenger. But I will come down in a

minute. Wait, we have to go and see Lady

Kiss. I'm sorry, Kayatan. We have a

date. Bishop's orders. There is always

something. You don't have time for me

anymore.

The plan is perfect. Now nothing can go

wrong. Let's go over it once again. You

bet that Amadeos wouldn't finish a

composition by tomorrow. That's right.

That is exactly what I said. And what if

you lose? Will the bishop get half of

our tower? Oh, no. We haven't talked

about my stake yet. Never mind. You'll

get half of the Episcopal household.

Yes, half the household. Can you imagine

that? H what is half of the household

worth? More than we could ever imagine

in our wildest dreams. Well then, and

when you've become so rich, I will be

the most influential man in Salsburg.

Come in. Over to you. Everything okay?

As you commanded, sir. Amadeos Mozart is

on his way to Lady Kiss Kiss at your

service. Ah, things are running really

perfectly. Hey, fantastic. Really

fantastic. And now let's go to the

treasury and take a look at our part of

it.

[Music]

Why did I agree to such a silly

bet? Never mind. Amdas is such a little

genius.

My lady, young master boat and his

sister. What did you say, Amadus? But I

haven't invited anybody. You called for

us, Countest. Always at your service.

No, I certainly haven't, my dear

Amadeas. I don't understand. Somebody

must be playing a joke on us.

Nevertheless, I'm always happy to see

you both. But it's such a beautiful day,

Countest. Why are you lying in bed? Oh

my boy, you can't imagine how bad I

feel. All day long, I've had this

terrible headache. It is almost

unbearable.

I think we have a good remedy for you. A

tender little melody.

Good for us and good for thee. Go to the

music chamber. I'll be there in a

minute.

Right on time. That's the count's house.

I'll wait here. My dear, this post will

solve our money problems.

Mozart has arrived, sir. Madame Mozart

is waiting outside. Thank you. Show Mr.

Mozart in if you can. Certainly. The

count will see you now.

Good afternoon, sir. First, let me thank

you for this invitation. And All right.

All right. Well, Mr. Mozart, you know

why I've asked you to come. Of course. I

think it concerns the musical education

of your son. But I don't want to play

anything. You will do as you're told,

son, or else. But I don't want to

fiddle. Don't listen to him. He doesn't

know what's good for. And if I may ask,

how about the payment? You will be

satisfied. I tell you, it's a complete

waste of money.

I'll expect two this time next week. Why

is he taking so long? Oh, Leopold, here

I am, my dear. It's time we went home

now. How was it? I'm dying to hear.

Let's take a little walk. I'll tell you

all about it. What can I say, my dear?

Many of those people who have a lot of

money do not have a great deal of

culture.

Pity, a riches, here we come.

Close your eyes. You'll go blind. Do you

think I haven't seen gold before?

I can't believe it. Amazing. Incredible.

Breathtaking.

Half of it. Can you imagine that, Monty,

my friend?

Look at that. Oh my gosh. This is more

than meets the eye. Ah, it must work

this time. This silly vundant is having

a tea party while time is ticking away

my poor poor bishops.

A crown for the crown of

creation. Master, can you give me a hand

here?

[Music]

Oh, what wonderful music. I'm feeling

much better already. All that beautiful

music has completely cleared it up at

last. Cleared up what, ma'am? Your

marvelous music has cleared away my

headache. It's completely gone.

Yes,

Nadal. Speed up.

[Music]

Great. We're the servants. Hot chocolate

and biscuits for the children. They've

saved my day. Fantastic. Playing music

always makes us very hungry. But I'd

still really like to know who sent us

here today. Heaven, of course.

Otherwise, I'd still be in bed. Messages

said he was sent by the bishop. He is

heavenly. Let's go and see the

bishop. What time is it now? It will be

time soon. Did I say soon? It's already

time now. It's 6:00. But the boy is

usually so reliable. I need his

composition as a birthday present from

the countest. Where are my lucky

servants? And there's that silly bet.

You called, excellency, at your service.

Yes, I bet. I'm waiting for the Mozart

boy. When he arrives, send him here

immediately at once. Yes, always at your

service, your excellency. What on earth

was it that made me take on that bet?

Soon, I'll be the richest weapon in the

world. We haven't won yet. Give her a

k*ll, Joy. Oh, what does he want now? I

must go.

You will not accept this job. Anamaria,

that's exactly what I thought. I'm so

glad you agree. The count is far too

haughty. And his son is a barbarian and

cheeky, too. He has no intention of

learning to play an instrument. It would

simply be a waste of time. Oh, I'm so

relieved about your decision, Leopold.

And we will raise our children without

this man's money.

[Music]

Devilious, where have you been all the

dime time? I had to do all the rest

work. Um, desk working myself. But your

excellency, I was busy as always.

There's lots of things to do here day in

day out. Day in day out. Yes. Yes,

Devilious. I blow. I know. Have you

informed the little Mozart boy as I

sold? I mean, told you. Tomorrow is the

counter's birthday, and we need a

composition for her. Of course, I have,

your excellency. I have no idea where

the boy is, but if he doesn't appear, I

have composed. Oh, yes. And where is he

now? I don't have the faintest idea. I

only wonder if his composition will be

here on time. You know, a bet is a bet.

Hurry, children. The sooner we reach the

palace, the earlier we'll know who

played this trick on you. What are you

waiting for? Come, Nanner.

I wonder what our parents will say when

they come home and find us gone. We will

explain it to them. All right, hurry up,

coachman. To the Archbishop's palace.

Yeah,

[Music]

we'll soon be home. I wonder if the

children have been good and practiced.

Don't worry about that, Leopold.

[Music]

Oh, hello, Kayatan. What are you doing

here?

Good day to you, Mr. Mozart. And a good

day to you, too, Miss Mozart. Kayatan,

I'm surprised. What are you doing here

all on your own?

Well, uh, do you know where Amodus is?

Are you telling us that our son is not

at home at the moment? No. Yeah, I don't

want to. I Out with it. Well, I don't

know exactly, but I think he said

something about a bishop's messenger.

Leopold, let's drive to the palace right

away. And he said something about Lady

Kiss Kiss. Oh, they're gone. I hope

there won't be any trouble.

Hey, boy. Do you know where little

amados is? Firstly, my name is Kayatan

Hagen. And where are these folks going?

I beg you pardon. I mean his parents,

Papa and Mama, the old Mozarts. Don't

you understand, Kayat? No idea. And

don't be so cheeky. I'm not cheeky. It

hasn't got anything to do with Cheeky.

Oh, yes, you are cheeky. And by the way,

you're just as rebellious as the Mozart

boy. Yes, of course. After all, he is my

friend, Mr. Dillius. Well, as I said,

Cheeky Coachman, take me to Lady Kiss.

Why are we going to that old crone?

We'll pick up the boy there and then

we'll lock him up until I've won the

bet. Do you really think he's still with

the counters? Yes. Where

[Music]

else? You can't imagine how good I feel

after your beautiful music.

Wasn't that the coach of Mr. Devilious?

My dear boy, you're seeing things. No,

really. He's driving towards your house.

Well, let him go there. I'm not in as

you could see.

[Music]

Almost 7:00. What has happened? Why is

Amdas not here? I fear I have lost the

bet. Amdas will never finish a compost

composition in time. Oh, never.

Well, Anna Maria, in a minute we'll meet

the bishop. Then we will find out what

has happened. The minute we leave home,

Amadeus, Liupole, control yourself. We

don't know yet what really happened. Oh,

Anamaria, I'm really worried about our

future. You're worrying about the money,

aren't you? Well, there seems to be no

other choice. I must sell our best

violin to get some money to live on. And

what about asking the bishop for a pay

rise? I fear he will refuse me.

Everything will turn out well, Leopold.

First, we must find out what our

children are doing. Yes.

Here we are, children. We've reached the

palace. Let's see what the bishop has to

tell us.

Oh, for heaven's sake. Now everything is

lost. Half my household's gone. Oh dear.

What should I do? Your excellency Lady

Kisskiss and the Mozar children. What a

pleasant surprise. My lady, do take a

seat. Yes. But amus, how did you know

that? Uh, what?

Amadus, why have you come so late? Huh?

You're supposed to come at 6:00. It was

in my note. Um, I've wanted to order a

compost composition from you. I was in

the middle of composing together with

Nano when your messenger sent us to the

countest's house. What? Be whale? Her

betrayal? Where is

Devilius? He's not in. You just sent him

away. So, it was his coach I saw on our

way here. H. Do you happen to know where

it was driving to? To the house of the

countest. He just wants me to lose the

bet. Pardon me. Oh, not to worry. Uh,

back to what I wanted to ask you. I need

a composition for the countest. Ah, I

have one for you. Fantastic. So, I have

one. The a present. What are you

whispering about? Enlighten us. Well,

tomorrow you're elevating celebrating

your birthday, my lady. Don't beat about

the bush, Bishop. I want an answer.

Well, it was going to be a surprise for

your birthday. Birthday composition? I

get it. How exciting.

His excellency sent us to your place.

Did he really? To surprise you with a

piece of music. You couldn't have chosen

a better present. I had one of my

migraines. Oh, that's terrible, dear

Countess. I have them, too.

Lady Kiss Kiss wasn't home, but it's no

problem.

Rubbish. What if she took the boy to the

bishop? But why should she? She doesn't

know anything, does she?

My dear Bishop Treatton Bach, may I ask

another favor? I would do you any favor

in the world, my dear. My dear, I wonder

whether the children could play the

composition again tomorrow at my

birthday party for me and my guests. My

dear counters, of course they can. Would

you do that for me, children? It will be

a very great honor for us.

What are the old mortars doing here? No

ifs and buts. Do something. It's not too

late. But the brat wasn't at Kisskiss's

palace.

Don't put off till tomorrow what you can

do today. I must prevent the boy from

composing. And once again, the question

is how? Good afternoon. Good afternoon.

What are they doing here? Do you know if

my children are here in the palace? I

have no idea, but you can have a look

yourself. Thanks for the good advice.

Why, I do hope you find them. The

marshall is such a polite gentleman.

You're not serious, are you? I've done

I've won, my dearas. I've won our little

bet. How did this happen? How did it

happen? It's quite simple. I already

have the present for the countest. Wait,

I'm sure he's cheating. Well, that's

impossible. First, Amadas must compose

something. Yes, I know. I know. But the

boy was faster than I thought with his

composition. So you cheated. Yeah, you

did. And you sent Amodas over to Lady

Kisskiss. Well, uh, that's not quite

true. I want Forget it. The fact is

you've lost the net. The bed, my

darillas. Is that so? Yes. Can't you

hear little Amodus playing? Just now I'm

entitled to a wish. You will clean the

palace. This is your fake. Your fate. We

will be rich. We will be nothing. It

sounds like we're back to the cleaning

squad again. Oh, you can wait for that

till kingdom comes, my little rat.

[Music]

Oh, what amazingly talented children you

have. Their music has really driven my

headaches away. I wish it would drive

away my money problems, too. But maybe

the bishop and I can help you chase your

souls away. And for this reason, you

will get some extra due. There are still

some good people in this world. And

since Dillius has lost the bet, he will

clean not only my palace, but the palace

of Lady Kiss as well. And I can go and

play with my best friend Kayan at last.

[Music]

Sparkling and clean. They want the

floor. People should be able to see

themselves in it. Mirror, mirror on the

wall. There are times when I think about

that rat that makes me want to get a

cat. I heard that.

Welcome to Monty's world. He is smart

and evil. Welcome to Monty's world. He

is small, but he will show you all how

he stands tall. There's much to discover

with

Monty. Hi children, I must speak under

my breath. Amados is just composing

something. Listen. First, he tries out

the melody on the piano and then he

writes down the music. Perhaps it was

some bell ringing or a bird's twittering

that gave him the idea for this melody

or whatever. These are the notes Amados

has written down just now. There are

compositions for one single instrument

as well as for two or more. This here is

written for a violin, cello, and a

piano. Each musician reads his own music

or else they would all play the same.

Listen to the piano part.

And here are the

notes. Now the violin

[Music]

part and the notes for

[Music]

it. This is the cello part.

and the

notes. And that's how it sounds when

they're playing

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

together. That was it for today, kids.

Bye, says Monty.

There is more music and fun with little

Amadeos and his friends on our website

little-madeos.com. Little Amadeos, two

centuries ago. Little Amadeos, the star

of Coco, master of harmonies, beautiful

melodies, a frozen symphonies, each one

a

masterpiece. However, there's an envious

arrival trying to put traps in your

way. But he'll always end up failing

whenever you begin to

play. And when we hear your magic music,

all sorrows fly away.

[Music]

Little Armadeos, your music and your

sounds. Little Armadeos, they make the

world go round. No matter what will be

with your fantasy, you'll make it

finally. Music is the key.
