:25:01
I'm not pouting. And stand up straight!
How often do I have to tell you?

:25:06
And that's to be the king.
And I'm to be his chancellor.

:25:12
Has he told you?
:25:14
John will rule the country
while I run it, that is to say,

:25:16
he gets to spend
the taxes that I raise.

:25:18
How nice for you. It's
not as nice as being king.

:25:23
We've made you duke of
brittany. Is that so little?

:25:25
No one ever thinks of crown
and mentions Geoff. Why is that?

:25:30
Isn't being chancellor
power enough?

:25:32
It's not the power I feel deprived
of. It's the mention I miss.

:25:35
There's no affection
for me here.

:25:38
You wouldn't think
I'd want that, would you?

:25:46
Henry?
Hmm?

:25:49
I have a confession.
Yeah?

:25:52
- I don't much like
our children.

:25:56
Only you... the child I raised but
didn't bear. You never cared for me.

:26:01
I did and do, believe me.
Henry's bed is Henry's province.

:26:05
He can people it with sheep
for all I care,

:26:08
which, on occasion,
he has done.

:26:10
Rosamund's been dead
for seven years.

:26:13
Two months and 18 days.
I never liked her much.

:26:17
- You count the days?
- I made the numbers up.

:26:21
He found miss clifford
in the mists of wales...

:26:23
and brought her home
for closer observation.

:26:25
Liking what he found,
he scrutinized her many years.

:26:29
He loved her deeply, and
she, him. And yet, my dear,

:26:32
when Henry had to choose
between his lady and my lands...

:26:36
there is no sport in
hurting me. It's so easy.

:26:41
After all the years
of loving care,

:26:44
do you think I could
bring myself to hurt you?

:26:47
Eleanor, with both hands
tied behind you.

:26:56
She is lovely, isn't she?
