1:15:01
What is it you want?
1:15:03
The good of the country.
1:15:08
To remain as Lord Chancellor.
1:15:11
Well, I'm sure
that can be arranged,

1:15:14
when, and if, we ever manage
to get our hands on government.

1:15:19
The bill is ready, sir.
1:15:21
I'm a snail, Lord Chancellor,
creeping towards the throne.

1:15:26
Even Maria is
becoming impatient.

1:15:30
Only for His Majesty's
recovery, sir.

1:15:32
Now the Lord Chancellor has come
out in favour of Your Highness,

1:15:36
the end is surely in sight.
1:15:38
I have always
been in his favour.

1:15:40
Of course.
1:15:42
Although the present situation
calls for a certain delicacy.

1:15:45
This is your father, sir.
Be kind.

1:15:48
Rely on your oars, sir.
The tide is with you.

1:15:53
The tide?
1:15:54
Rely on my oars?
1:15:57
George!
1:15:59
Your Royal Highness
has but to wait.

1:16:01
Wait?
1:16:03
Ha. Wait.
1:16:04
Lord Chancellor,
my life has been waiting.

1:16:09
I endeavour
to cultivate languor,

1:16:13
but it is difficult
to be languid

1:16:15
when the throne of England
is pending.

1:16:17
People laugh at me.
1:16:20
What must I do
to be taken seriously?

1:16:24
I tell you, sir,
1:16:26
to be Prince of Wales
is not a position...

1:16:31
It is a predicament.
1:16:39
She has more sense than he has.
1:16:43
It takes character to withstand
the rigours of indolence.
