:07:03
Sir is married?
:07:06
A widow.
:07:07
Can you please
explain to me

:07:09
why you call me
"sir"?

:07:10
Women do not stand
:07:12
in the presence
of His Excellency.

:07:14
[Interpreter
Speaking Siamese]

:07:20
How long are you in possession
of dead husband?

:07:26
23 months.
:07:28
How did he die?
:07:31
Can you please convey
to His Excellency

:07:33
that my purpose here
:07:34
is as tutor to
the king's eldest son,

:07:36
that it is not necessary
:07:38
to ask any more
personal questions.

:07:39
Please.
:07:45
In Siam, sir...
:07:47
it is custom
:07:48
to first ask questions
ofpersonal nature

:07:51
to be polite.
:07:54
[Speaking Siamese]
:07:56
Mr. Prime Minister,
:07:58
I meant
no disrespect.

:08:01
However, getting here
was something of a challenge.

:08:04
Sir will be shown
to palace quarters.

:08:07
Mem?
:08:09
I beg your pardon?
:08:11
The king promised us a home
outside the palace walls.

:08:15
It's what
was agreed upon.

:08:18
In Siam, sir,
:08:21
you will learn
:08:22
everything
has its own time.

:08:26
[Monks Chanting Sutras]
:08:32
Don't bother unpacking, Moonshee.
It's only for one night.

:08:35
We shall all be settled
to our satisfaction,

:08:37
or we'll be leaving
as soon as possible.

:08:40
Thought we didn't have
any money.

:08:42
That is correct.
but at the moment,

:08:43
I do not need
to be reminded ofthat.

:08:47
[Chanting]
:08:51
Sounds like we're
living in a beehive.

:08:53
In the morning, I shall
go directly to the king.

:08:55
A monarch who refuses to keep his word
is uncivilized, unenlightened,

:08:58
and, frankly,
ungrateful.

:08:59
There are principles
at stake here.
