Anna and the King

: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.

:09:01
Having a proper British
household with some privacy

:09:03
is one of them.
:09:05
I don't think Siam
agrees with you, Memsahib.

:09:07
Mother, how can it be
a proper household?

:09:10
You haven't lived in England
since you were a little girl,

:09:13
and I've never
been there at all.

:09:15
India is British, Louis.
:09:17
That's what being colonized
is all about.

:09:21
Father would've put him
right in his place.

:09:23
I'm very sorry
I'm not the man

:09:24
your fatherwas.
:09:34
I'm sorry, Louis.
:09:37
This is a good opportunity
for us, hmm?

:09:41
I shall just...
:09:43
try to look
at the positive side.

:09:45
Assuming there is one.
:09:47
Your father would've.
:09:49
He was
a brave man...

:09:51
wasn't he?
:09:54
Yes. Very.
:09:57
And most considerate.
:09:59
Which is more than
I can say for this king.
