:52:01
I'm the king's doctor, sir.
:52:03
It is the same thing.
:52:13
In here, sir.
:52:20
Yes.
:52:22
Do you know, Mr Greville,
:52:24
the state of monarchy
and the state of lunacy

:52:27
share a frontier?
:52:32
Some of my lunatics
fancy themselves kings.

:52:35
He...
:52:39
is the king.
:52:42
Where shall his fancy
take refuge?

:52:46
We do not use the word lunatic,
sir, in relation to His Majesty.

:52:51
Oh.
:52:54
Well, who's to say
what's normal in a king? Hmm?

:52:57
Deferred to, agreed with,
acquiesced in.

:53:01
Who can flourish
:53:02
on such a daily diet
of compliance?

:53:10
To be curbed... stood up to...
:53:15
in a word, thwarted
:53:16
exercises the character,
:53:19
elasticates the spirit,
makes it more pliant.

:53:24
It's the want of such exercise
that makes rulers rigid.

:53:28
Sharp, sharp!
The king, the king!

:53:30
This is the king, sir.
:53:31
Whom I must cure.
:53:33
...As straight as a ruler,
:53:35
straight as a ruler
done by a ruler.

:53:38
And another beside that
:53:39
until you have
as pretty a ploughed field

:53:42
this side of Cirencester.
:53:43
I have a farm.
:53:54
Put us out of our kingdom.
We'd not want for employment.

:53:57
Give me the management
of 50 acres, and I could do it.
