[jovial chatter]

401

[butler] Telephone, sir.

The Marquis of Salisbury.

402

Oh, not now.

403

He asked me to stress[A1] 

the importance of the matter.

404

-Bobbety.

-Thanks for taking my call, Dickie.

405

-Are you alone?

-Yes.

406

Can anyone overhear what you're saying?

407

-No.

-Good.

408

-It's chaos.

-I know.

409

Every ward[A2]  is full. Every corridor too.

410

Most of the doctors are sick now,

and those that are well can't get in.

411

It was better than this in the war.

412

What do you need?

More equipment? Or masks?

413

Masks are bloody useless.

They're just for show.

414

To make it look like the government

is doing something.

415

-Then what is needed?

-Money. People. Trained staff.

416

Help is what is needed. Urgently.

417

Let her rest for now.

418

Maybe I can put a word in

with the people who make a difference.

419

-Such as?

-The Prime Minister, for example.

420

I see. You're just going to walk into

Downing Street and whisper in his ear.

421

Yes, something like that.

422

You know, my day is bad enough without

some delusional[A3]  girl playing jokes[A4] .

423

Now, excuse me. Nurse? Nurse.

424

-[Venetia] I'll show you.

-Get out of the way.

425

-[man] Jim, where are you?

-[man 2] Over here.

426

[horn, brakes[A5] ]

427

[man] Someone phone for an ambulance.

428

[crowd mutters]

429

How much longer

are you going to give the old man?

430

Their majority is tiny.

431

A vote of no confidence

and he'll be toppled[A6] .

432

You know what he calls you?

433

Yes, I know.

A sheep in sheep's clothing.

434

Perhaps it's time to prove you're not.

435

Very well.

436

Let's put a motion [A7] down on paper

and brief [A8] the whips.

437

[man] Thank you, sir.

438

[Philip whistles]

439

-Anything interesting?

-Yes.

440

-Care to share it?

-No.

441

I'd be happy to share glide ratios[A9] 

and adiabatic lapse rates [A10] with you.

442

As part of a quid pro quo [A11] arrangement.

443

One glide ratio in return

for some cabinet minutes, for example.

444

No? A dihedral angle[A12] 

or an absolute ceiling[A13] .

445

These are very interesting concepts.

You might learn something,

446

in exchange for a foreign office briefing?

447

Am I going to have to explain

my position again?

448

-No.

-Good.

449

"Once you have tasted flight,

450

you will forever walk the earth

with your eyes turned skyward[A14] ,

451

for there you have been

and there you will always long to [A15] return."

452

You know what's remarkable

about those words?

453

-Go on.

-They were written 300 years

454

before man first got in a plane.

455

Leonardo da Vinci.
