-What is this? Hide and seek?[A1] 

-I told you not to overstep the mark[A2] .

443

I made it clear,

carte blanche [A3] or nothing at all.

444

Trade Unionists [A4] and businessmen?

In the Abbey[A5] ?

445

-If you want to stay on the throne, yes.

-In a trimmed-down [A6] televised [A7] coronation?

446

00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:

If you want to avoid a revolution, yes.

You forget.

447

00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,040

I have seen first-hand [A8] what it is like

for a royal family to be overthrown[A9] 

448

00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:14,920

because they were out of step[A10] 

with the people.

449

I left Greece in an orange crate[A11] .

My father would have been killed.

450

My grandfather was.

I'm just trying to protect you.

451

From whom? The British people?

452

You have no idea who they are

or what they want.

453

Oh, oh, I'm just Johnny Foreigner, again,

who doesn't understand. Fine, fine.

454

You want a big overblown[A12]  ceremony

costing a fortune

455

while the rest of the country

is on ration[A13] s, have it.

456

But don't come bleat[A14] ing to me

457

when your head and the heads

of our children are on spikes.

458

If the people are hungry,

they want something that lifts them up[A15] .

459

And how do you propose lifting them

if they cannot see it?

460

The people look to a monarchy

for something bigger than themselves.

461

An inspiration. A higher ideal.

462

If you put it in their homes,

463

allow them to watch it

with their dinner on their laps.

464

It will democratize it, make them feel

that they share in it. Understand it.

465

Alright!

466

Alright.

I'll support you in the televising.

467

You won't regret it.

468

On one condition.

469

That you kneel.

470

-Who told you?

-My Prime Minister.

471

-He said you intended to refuse.

-I merely[A16]  asked the question.

472

Whether it was right in this day and age

that the Queen's consort[A17] ,

473

her husband, should kneel to her

rather than stand beside her.

474

You won't be kneeling to me.

475

That's not how it will look.

That's not how it will feel.

476

It will feel like a eunuch[A18] ,

an amoeba[A19] , is kneeling before his wife.

477

You'll be kneeling before God

and the Crown as we all do.

478

I don't see you kneeling before anyone.

479

Because I'm already flatten[A20] ed

under the weight of this thing.

480

Oh, spare me the false humility.

Doesn't look like that to me.

481

-How does it look to you?

-Looks to me like you're enjoying it.

482

It's released an unattractive sense

of authority and entitlement[A21] 

483

that I have never seen before.

484

In you, it's released a weakness

and insecurity I've never seen before.

485

-Are you my wife or my Queen?

-I'm both.

486

I want to be married to my wife.

487

I am both and a strong man

would be able to kneel to both.

488

-I will not kneel before my wife.

-Your wife is not asking you to.

489

-But my Queen commands me?

-Yes.

490

I beg you make an exception for me.

491

No.
