This is also emphasized in the 1974 movie where he's played by a very soft-spoken, relaxed Bob Fosse who calls the Prince a "smart, sensible sort" in the sort of tone that suggests he means it; he happily encourages the Prince to just [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere leave the miserable planet he's found himself on]] before deciding he'll bite the Prince, and he convinces the Prince to submit to him via [[VillainSong elaborate musical number]]. A huge point of both book and movie is that the Prince lets the Snake bite him out of his own volition; this is a huge reason why.
