Learn English With British Series, The Crown Episode 9 Part 4

242

 [Sutherland] Here we are.

243

Morning.

244

-Morning.

-Sir, this is my wife, Kathleen.

245

She assists[A1]  me sometimes.

I hope you don't mind.

246

Over here.

247

-What's that you're using?

-Pencil.

248

Yeah. But which kind?

249

4B or 6B, not sure.

250

 [Kathleen] It's a 6B.

251

-And on what paper?

-[Sutherland] Drawing paper.

252

 [Churchill] I favor heavy-weight cotton,

cold pressed[A2] , deckle edged[A3] .

253

Sized with gelatin.

254

How many paintings does your husband

complete in a year, Mrs. Sutherland?

255

Three or four.

256

Would you care to[A4]  guess

how many I average[A5] ?

257

-Ten? 15?

-60!

258

 [Kathleen chuckles]

259

Of course, I'm just a hobbyist,

an enthusiast[A6] .

260

Not a major artist like your husband.

261

 [sighs]

262

Taking his time[A7] .

263

Over here.

264

 [Churchill snores]

265

I did a little reading about you,

Mr. Sutherland, after our last session.

266

-Did you?

-Yeah. Quite interesting.

267

From what I read, this is all

very new to you, this portraiture.

268

I don't think anyone starts out[A8] 

wanting to be a portraitist.

269

Yeah. But in your search for your metier[A9] ,

you've tried a bit of everything.

270

That's true.

I came to painting quite late.

271

And now that you've found it,

you'll never leave it, yes?

272

Yeah. I quite understand.

273

 [Kathleen chuckles]

274

How is it, Mrs. Sutherland?

275

It has truth.

276

-Am I to be allowed a peek[A10] ?

-No.

277

Well, why not? I could give you advice.

278

After all,

I know this face better than you do.

279

If you've made the neck too thick

or the arms too long, I can tell you.

280

I find in general people have

very little understanding of who they are.

281

One has to turn a blind eye to [A11] so much

of oneself in order to get [A12] through life.

282

And you see it as your responsibility

to bring all that out into the open[A13] ?

283

Certainly. The good as well as the bad.

284

Just concentrate on the good,

and all will be well.

285

You're not just painting me, you know.

286

You're painting the Prime Minister

of the United Kingdom of Great Britain

287

and Northern Ireland, and everything

that great office represents.

288

Democracy. Freedom.

289

The highest ideals of government

and leadership. Just remember that.

290

 [phone rings]

291

-Yes?

-Lord Porchester, Your Majesty.

292

-Thank you.

-Plug in[A14] .

293

-Porchey?

-What a palaver[A15] .

294

-What is?

-Getting through to you[A16] .

295

I picked up the phone to you just after

nine this morning. It's now gone midday.

296

Oh, don't exaggerate[A17] .

But, yes, I know, it is infuriating[A18] .

297

Fire away[A19] .

298

You asked me to come up with some figures

for you with regard to Aureole.

299

Although I'm numerically[A20]  dyslexic[A21] ,

runs in the family I'm afraid,

300

like the high forehead[A22] .

301

I have done the sums[A23] [A24] ,

see if this helps you with your decision.

302

In the course of his lifetime

as a racehorse,

303

Aureole has made you

just over 40,000 pounds.

304

Goodness.

305

But if you were to put him out to [A25] stud,

he could make you far more.

306

He's a recognized champion,

with a top-notch [A26] pedigree[A27] .

307

You could stand him at Wolferton Stud

for top dollar[A28] .

308

Well, that's a decision then.

309

Good.

310

And in the meantime,

I'll ask if I can get you a direct line[A29] .

311

-To you?

-Yes, to me. Why?

312

Was there anyone else

you wanted to speak to here?

313

-No.

-Good.
