:14:01
If there's awar with the Dutch...
the King will need Condé.
:14:03
-Yes, but he is...
-Sick of war?
:14:05
So he is. But he is equally sick
of being in debt.
:14:21
I'm passing red hot stones.
:14:29
Condé!
:14:31
Majesty?
:14:32
What exactly do you need
to borrow so much money for?
:14:35
The better to serve France,
Your Majesty.
:14:45
Well, Colbert, where are
our envoys from Holland?
:14:50
-Aren't they here yet?
-Not yet, Your Majesty.
:14:53
Peace with the Dutch
is good for nothing.
:14:55
Except tulips.
:14:59
How many tulips
do we have at Versailles?
:15:02
-Two million, Sir.
-My gardener hates flowers!
:15:06
He would love awar
with the Dutch.
:15:09
Indeed, sir.
:15:12
But would Your Majesty
please recall...
:15:14
that you have offered your daughter
in marriage to William of Orange.
:15:17
An invasion would not look well
in the eve of a betrothal.
:15:21
My daughter can't even
talk yet, Colbert.
:15:25
4 days ride from Paris, we have a
country of republicans, protestants...
:15:28
and printers of
seditious pamphlets.
:15:31
No King is safe
from free-thinkers...
:15:34
especially if they are
as rich as the Dutch.
:15:43
We have no better soldier
than Condé.
:15:46
And if there is war,
we'll need him.
:15:49
He's expensive.
:15:51
But if there is peace...
:15:56
What do I say in the meantime?
:15:58
Why say anything?
