1:03:00
It is a little
far-fetched to think

1:03:01
that commerce alone will bring
progress to your people.

1:03:05
Especially when they're
awash with, uh, superstition

1:03:08
and fear, like your
lovely concubines here

1:03:11
with their talismans,
worn, no doubt,

1:03:13
to protect them from us
foreign devils.

1:03:26
A friend once said,
Mr. Kincaid,

1:03:31
English also have
fantastical beliefs.

1:03:34
Or am I mistaking
your country

1:03:37
for being land
of Merlin and Camelot?

1:03:41
Ah. Point taken,
Your Majesty.

1:03:44
However, there's no arguing
the superiority of the English.

1:03:49
And in the light of
these dreadful massacres

1:03:52
up and down your border,
1:03:54
it's no wonder
you're seeking our favor.

1:03:57
Superiority,
Mr. Kincaid?

1:04:00
I do not recall anyone
being given the right

1:04:02
to judge whose cultural
customs are superior.

1:04:05
Especially
when those judging

1:04:06
have frequently done so
at the point of a gun.

1:04:13
Would you not agree,
Your Majesty?

1:04:17
Quite.
1:04:19

1:04:21
Lord Bradley:
Well, the evenings here

1:04:24
are certainly warmer
than in London.

1:04:26
Hear, hear.
1:04:28
A night made to order
for anniversary party.

1:04:32
Especially for a king
who is most...

1:04:35
charitable and forgiving.
1:04:40
To our host,
1:04:42
a true gentleman,
generous in everyway.

1:04:45
May history mark
this occasion

1:04:48
as the first step
1:04:50
towards forging an alliance
between our two countries.

1:04:54
His Majesty.
1:04:55
All: His Majesty.
