156

Colonel Charteris, Your Majesty.

157

-You asked to see me?

-I did. Do sit down.

158

Now, as I'm sure you're aware,

159

Tommy Lascelles will be leaving us shortly

to begin his well-deserved retirement.

160

And his departure

will leave something of a gap.

161

Yes.

162

And I was wondering whether you

might be interested in filling that gap?

163

-As what, Ma'am?

-My Private Secretary.

164

-I'd be delighted, but...

-But what?

165

What about Michael Adeane?

166

-What about him?

-He is the natural successor[A1] .

167

I was hoping it might be possible for me

to make my own decision just once[A2] .

168

There are two Private Secretaries

to choose from.

169

And I happen to prefer the Junior.

170

So, shall we say that's that[A3] ?

171

Yes. I suppose we shall.

172

-Good.

-Thank you.

173

Is there anything I can do?

In the meantime.

174

No, no, no. Thank you, Martin.

175

Actually, Martin...

176

A tutor[A4] .

177

-Ma'am?

-I'd like to engage one.

178

-Any particular field?

-General education.

179

-I'll come up with some names.

-Thank you.

180

Oh, and, Martin, preferably one,

you know, not too stuffy[A5] . Sense of humor.

181

Understood.

182

I'm no stranger to pain, Winston,

but this has become intolerable.

183

I must have corrective[A6]  surgery.

184

And this "corrective surgery,"

must it really be Boston?

185

That's where the best man is.

The only man.

186

They're better equipped[A7]  to deal

with gall bladder [A8] problems in America.

187

Due to [A9] the high fat diets [A10] they have here.

188

Leaving me without you

for the summit with Ike.

189

-Can't you delay it?

-No, I can't.

190

Besides, you have already stated[A11] 

191

your ability to run the ship without me

for some time.

192

In jest[A12] , my dear boy, when you become

mutinous[A13]  and presumptuous[A14] .

193

You know how much I depend on you.

194

-I do.

-Well?

195

But I'd still like to hear you

say it again.

196

-What?

-I'd like you to say it again so that...

197

all the people listening in can hear.

You were saying.

198

That...

199

I depend on you, Anthony.

200

 [Eden] What for?

201

 [Churchill]For your judgement[A15] .

202

 [Eden]What else?

[Churchill]Your integrity[A16] . And loyalty.

203

Louder, please.

204

Yes, all right!

Yes, I need you there, Anthony!

205

I think we're all agreed, I need you!

206

And I need the surgery, Winston.

It's my life that's at stake now.

207

I'm sorry.

208

-[dial tone]

-[Churchill groans]

209

 [woman] Prime Minister. Prime Minister?

210

 [music playing from car radio]

211

 [Charles] What's that?

[woman] Here, Charles. That one.

212

 [Charles] Look. Look at this.

Do you like my picture?

213

 [woman] It's a rocket.

One day it'll take us into space.

214

 [door opens]

215

Let's move on.

216

-[man] Professor Hogg, Your Majesty.

-Who?

217

Colonel Charteris said

you were expecting him.

218

Oh, yes.

219

 [Charles] Where's Mercury?

220

 [woman] High up in the sky, Charles.

It's where all the other planets are.

221

-Your Majesty.

-Professor Hogg.

222

 [Elizabeth]

During the course [A17] of my new daily life,

223

I have to spend a great deal [A18] of time

alone with statesmen.

224

Men, like yourself,

of exceptional [A19] intellect,

225

who've risen to the very top

of their profession

226

by virtue[A20]  of their intelligence

and their ability.

227

There are frequently times

228

when I am discussing agendas of the day

229

with these people that I find myself...

230

on the back foot[A21] .

231

At something of a disadvantage.

Because I...

232

I can't keep up.

233

Or I don't know

what lies behind something[A22] .

234

And that's no way to live.

235

To be uninformed[A23] 

and entirely at someone else's mercy.

236

Quite. Which is why I was hoping that you

might help me hold my own, some more,

237

feel at less of a disadvantage, fill in...

238

Fill in some of the gaps.[A24] 

239

Perhaps Her Majesty would give me

an idea of roughly how far she got?

240

-When?

-With her education.

241

-In what sense?[A25] 

-Which exams she might have taken

242

and passed, that I might better know

at what level to pitch our tutorials.

243

The Higher School Certificate,

for example.

244

All right. The School Certificate, then.

245

No.

perhaps?
