-Ask my daughters to come and see me.
-Yes, ma'am.
2
Girls, it's too soon. I can't do it.
3
I'm not strong enough.
4
[Margaret] That's why you
have
two grown-up daughters.
To step
in [A1] for
you
in situations like this. I'll do it.
6
Thank you but that makes no sense.
7
The speech is for Papa about Papa.
I would like to do it.
8
It's right I do it.
9
You don't enjoy public speaking,
whereas I do.
10
-And I was Pa...
-What? Favorite?
11
-[Margaret] Are you going to deny it?
-Your father didn't have a favorite.
12
He adored you both.
Did so equally. As any good father would.
13
[Margaret] Mummy, you
decide, then.
As head of the family.
14
But she's not head of the family. I am.
And I will make the speech.
15
-Ma'am.
-Thank you.
16
Thank you.

Six years ago, I heard the moving words
which my father spoke
18
when he unveiled[A2]
the statue
of King George V.
19
I did not think then
that in
so short a time[A3] ,
20
I should be called to take his place.
21
But, it is with pride
that I unveil this noble statue today.
22
[thunder rumbles]
23
[car engine starts]
24
Ma'am...
25
[man] We have been flagging [A4] our
concern
for some time.
26
These latest events, internationally,
merely [A5] strengthen
our view.
27
But sending the Queen
on this forthcoming tour,
28
in the current climate[A6] ,
would be to put the Sovereign
29
in an unacceptable level of danger.
30
What is it you would have the Queen do?
Stay at home
31
in the wake of minor incidents[A7]
prosecuted [A8] by
an insurgent[A9] rabble[A10] ?
32
What kind of signal would that send?
The Crown does not back down[A11] .
33
If Britain had made a habit
of[A12] backing down,
34
the world would already be
living under the yoke [A13] of fascist tyranny
35
and we wouldn't have an empire at all.
36
Then might I suggest
we bypass
[A14] Gibraltar[A15] altogether[A16] ?
37
[Adeane] It's an approach
which I would favor too.
38
She's not ready for something
on this scale. She's not yet up to it.
39
Especially with so many of our dominions[A17]
demanding independence.
40
-We must be considerate [A18] of her.
-Patronize
[A19] her.
41
-No, that's not what I'm saying, sir.
-Yes, it is.
