Learn English With Series, The Crown Episode 1

316

Yes.

317

Not sure I ever imagined what breathing

through one lung would feel like.

318

Turns out there's barely any difference.

[chuckles]

319

Good. Good.

320

Though... probably wise

to let the Princess Elizabeth

321

undertake [A1] the Commonwealth[A2]  tour? Hm?

322

What say you?

323

-Is she up to [A3] it?

-Yes, I'd say so.

324

Besides... we have to start

breaking her in [A4] gently, don't we?

325

Do we?

326

Keep one eye on the future.

327

The distant future.

328

[cheering]

329

[photographers shouting]

330

-[man] Welcome back, sir.

-What's this?

331

-It's the teleprinter.

-Let's have it upstairs.

332

-Everything as it was before[A5] , sir?

-Yes!

333

Everything exactly as it was before.

334

Ladies. Ladies. Now-- Who's this?

335

-Oh, Miss Venetia Scott, sir.

-A new addition.

336

-A good one, I'd say.

-Thank you, sir.

337

I had hoped

I'd seen the back of this place.

338

Could you give us a moment,

please, Jock?

339

Thank you.

340

How was the king?

341

He talked a great deal about his recovery.

Lots of mentions of "bouncing back".

342

Which always makes one fear the worst[A6] .

343

Not to mention the make-up.

344

He was wearing rouge[A7] .

345

Poor man.

346

It's cancer.

347

What?

348

-Who knows?

-No one.

349

Least of all him.

350

-Sir? Lunch.

-Let's have it in here.

351

See what they've been serving

for the past five years.

352

-So he's dying?

-We're all dying.

353

That's what defines

the condition of living[A8] .

354

Will he die tomorrow? No.

355

What about the day after tomorrow?

And the day after that?

356

The country needs to be led

by someone strong.

357

-Well, I'm strong!

-You are also tired, Winston.

358

We both are.

359

A situation like that

would require enormous energy.

360

And I won't lie to you.

361

I have considered resigning

for Anthony's sake.

362

For your sake.

363

But then I realized a situation like that

would also require statesmanship[A9] .

364

The party needs me.

The country needs me.

365

She needs me.

366

-Who?

-Her!

367

Oh, her.

368

[Philip] This is Clarence House

dining room to Clarence House kitchen.

369

Dining room to kitchen.

370

-[Charles] Dining room to kitchen!

-Yes. Dining room to kitchen!

371

Oh, bugger it[A10] !

372

Right, check the circuits[A11]

and up the amperage[A12]  of the fuse wire[A13] .

373

Right, I'm off.

374

-Breakfast with your mother?

-And Margaret.

375

Imagine.

I'm checking curtain fabrics in an hour.

376

-[laughs]

-[Philip] Yes.

377

Let's pick the curtains.

378

-Where to, ma'am?

-Buckingham Palace, please.

379

Buckingham Palace.

380

-I see.

-[knock at door]

381

[man] The queen has asked to see you.

382

Yes, we look forward

to [A14] seeing the doctor then.

383

-Thank you. Goodbye.

-Drawing room!

384

-Now?

-Yes.

385

We do both so love

living at Clarence House

386

and he has all sorts of ideas

about how to modernize it.

387

He really is rather ingenious[A15]  like that,

actually.

388

-Now, Peter.

-Your Majesty. Your Royal Highnesses.

389

I have to make a decision

about Christmas.

390

Tell me, do you think the King will be

well enough to go to Sandringham?

391

I do. As a matter of fact[A16] ,

I think it would do him good.

392

-So it's decided.

-Will you be joining us, too?

393

Me?

394

Course not. Peter will be spending

Christmas at home with his family.

395

I was only thinking of papa.

396

Given the choice, you know

he'd never let him out of his sight.

397

Well, that's true.

398

-He's quite devoted[A17]  to you.

-Then let me discuss it with Rosemary.

399

Oh, no. No, it's out of the question[A18] .

400

Why, mummy? Let Peter discuss it.

401

-Well, he did offer.

-Oh, very well.

402

00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:35,840

[bell rings]

403

But, as a wife,

I know what my answer would be.

404

I'd want my husband at home

at Christmas with his children.

405

Excuse me.

406

I saw that.

407

What? No, I haven't finished.

408

That look between the two of you.

409

-Oh, Margaret!

-You must tell no one.

410

The papers all think I'm for

Johnny Dalkeith or Billy Wallace.

411

-Mummy and Papa, too, by the way.

-They're just boys. Whereas [A19] Peter is...

412

No, I quite see the attraction of Peter.

413

But he's married.

414

[knock at door, door opens]

415

Doctor Weir, Your Majesty.

416

You told me that, after the operation,

417

I might expect some... soreness[A20] ,

418

some difficulty breathing.

419

But you didn't tell me about this.

420

-The coughing has returned?

-Yes.

421

-How often?

-All the time.

422

At the time of the operation, as you know,

structural alterations were discovered.

423

Of course. The blockage[A21]  in the lung.

424

It's time we gave that blockage a name,

sir.

425

It was a tumor.

426

A malignant[A22]  tumor.

427

I see.

428

-But... we removed it?

-We did.

429

So what is this?

430

We removed the left lung, sir.

But the right...

431

has fewer[A23] ,

but still significant[A24] , blockages.

432

So, what's next?

433

Next?

434

I argued that His Majesty

should be told at the time.

435

A patient has a right

to know the full picture.

436

But I was overruled[A25] . The theory was that,

if His Majesty felt he'd been cured,

437

he could throw himself into his work

without undue[A26]  stress and, and, and worry.

438

I have two questions.

439

Who knows the full picture?

440

Apart from the surgeons?

441

Perhaps the Prime Minister, sir.

442

Of course.

443

But not the queen?

444

-Nor anyone else in my family?

-No, sir.

445

And the second question?

446

It's impossible to say, sir.

447

My understanding is the surgeons

did everything they could.

448

And?

449

It could be years.

450

More likely months.

451

Thank you.
