[the king enters Puss' room; it is dark, and only Puss' eyes and boots are visible]
Puss-in-Boots: Who dares enter my room?
King: Sorry - I hope I'm not interrupting anything, but I was told that you are the one to handle an ogre problem.
Puss-in-Boots: You are told correct, but for this I charge a great deal of money.
King: Will this do?
[the king throws a bag full of money on the table; Puss opens it with his sword]
Puss-in-Boots: You have engaged my valuable services, Your Majesty. Just tell me where I can find this ogre.
