...to bear her burden,
whether I will or no...

:27:06
...I must have patience
to endure the load.

:27:09
CROWD: Long live Richard,
England's worthy king!

:27:14
Long live King Richard!
:27:16
In the midst of these noble concepts,
these treaties and diplomatic pacts...

:27:22
...he was saying
the truth beneath all this...

:27:25
...is absolutely the opposite.
:27:28
The truth is that those in power...
:27:31
...have total contempt
for everything they promise...

:27:35
...everything they pledge.
:27:37
And that's what Shakespeare's
great play is about.

:27:41
The reason why Shakespeare

:28:18
Get me out of this documentary.
:28:20
This idea was a bad idea.
It's gone too far.

:28:24
- Take you away from all this?
- I wanna go. I wanna...

:28:28
I want to be the king.
:28:30
I want to be king, Frederic.
Make me king.

:28:39
CROWD: Long live Richard,
England's worthy king!

:28:43
Long live Richard,
England's worthy king!

KIMBALL: As soon as he gets what
he wants, Lady Anne, the crown...

:28:53
...then the whole thing...
- The emptiness of it.

:28:56
- Cousin of Buckingham!
- My gracious sovereign?

:28:59
PACINO:
Give me thy hand.
