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

00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:

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

[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.
