:34:02
As the King of England's
envoy, I had to...
:34:07
Am I distracting you?
:34:11
His Majesty will do anything
to have you at Covent Garden.
:34:14
He has a passion
for singers...
:34:16
and snuff boxes.
:34:19
To be brief...
:34:21
the King wants to add you
to his collection.
:34:24
At any price.
:34:27
And you, Maestro,
do you need me?
:34:31
They say your voice
is exceptional.
:34:34
If you manage to arouse
the slightest emotion in me...
:34:37
with this awful
jumble of notes...
:34:39
then you're
the world's greatest singer.
:34:42
You still have
to prove to me...
:34:45
that you're more
than a singing machine.
:34:48
Give me what none of your kind
has ever managed to give me.
:34:53
And to answer your question...
:34:56
I need nobody, Farinelli,
nobody.
:34:59
You're sweating.
:35:00
It's ruining your makeup.
:35:03
I'll come for your answer
after the performance...
:35:06
in your dressing room.
:35:08
We'll talk things over.
