:15:06
Condé!
:15:08
Majesty?
:15:10
What exactly do you need
to borrow so much money for?
:15:13
The better to serve France,
Your Majesty.
:15:24
Well, Colbert, where are
our envoys from Holland?
:15:28
-Aren't they here yet?
-Not yet, Your Majesty.
:15:31
Peace with the Dutch
is good for nothing.
:15:34
Except tulips.
:15:38
How many tulips
do we have at Versailles?
:15:41
-Two million, Sir.
-My gardener hates flowers!
:15:45
He would love awar
with the Dutch.
:15:49
Indeed, sir.
:15:51
But would Your Majesty
please recall...
:15:53
that you have offered your daughter
in marriage to William of Orange.
:15:57
An invasion would not look well
in the eve of a betrothal.
:16:01
My daughter can't even
talk yet, Colbert.
:16:04
4 days ride from Paris, we have a
country of republicans, protestants...
:16:08
and printers of
seditious pamphlets.
:16:12
No King is safe
from free-thinkers...
:16:15
especially if they are
as rich as the Dutch.
:16:23
We have no better soldier
than Condé.
:16:27
And if there is war,
we'll need him.
:16:30
He's expensive.
:16:32
But if there is peace...
:16:38
What do I say in the meantime?
:16:40
Why say anything?
:16:44
Your Majesty was invited here
to enjoy yourself.
:16:49
Not for business...
:16:55
Your Highness?
Are the musicians ready?
:16:58
Yes, my Prince. The King didn't utter
asingle word to me during Council.
