Imrove Your Vocabulary With Series, The Crown Episode 2

119

Much of this

is just a function of age.

120

He focuses almost entirely

121

on issues relating to America

and the Soviet Union,

122

so important domestic matters...

123

-are falling behind[A1] .

-[coughing]

124

What do you suggest I do?

125

Well, as sovereign[A2] , of course,

there is nothing you can do

126

from a constitutional [A3] standpoint.[A4] 

127

But, as a friend... as Albert Windsor,

128

you are the one person I can think of

to whom he might listen.

129

Well, that is where we run

into difficulties, I'm afraid.

130

I no longer am Albert Windsor.

131

That person was murdered by his

elder brother... when he abdicated[A5]

132

And, of course,

Albert Windsor would dearly[A6]  love

133

to say to his old friend,

Winston Churchill, "Take a step back.

134

Put your feet up[A7] . Let the younger

generation have a go now[A8] ."

135

But he is no longer with us

136

and that void[A9] [A10]  has been filled

by George the VI

137

who, it turns out,

is quite the stickler[A11] ,

138

and... [clears throat]

no more [A12] allow the sovereign

139

to interfere[A13]  with the Prime Minister

than stand for office [A14] himself.

140

Even when it's in

the national interest[A15] , sir?

141

The national interests?

Or Anthony Eden's interest?

142

[King George coughs]

143

The reason I agreed to grant[A16]  you

an audience,

144

not to hear your grievances[A17] 

about Mr. Churchill

145

but to communicate[A18]  mine about you.

146

Sir?

147

The PM will step down [A19] in time.

148

And until then, as sovereign,

149

I do have the right to be consulted,[A20] 

to encourage[A21] , to warn.

150

It is better to be patient and get

what you desire in the right time...

151

than have high office [A22] thrust upon [A23] you

when you are not ready.

152

I speak from personal experience.

153

Foreign Secretary.

154

-Your Majesty.

-Sir.

155

Shall we begin to walk back, sir?
