If your sweetheart
2
Sends a letter
3
Of goodbye
4
It's no secret
5
You feel better if you cry...
-Lord Porchester?
6
This way, madam.
7
At the end of the bar.
8
-Hello.
-Hello, Porchey!
9
-You found the place all right?
-The taxi driver did, yes.
10
Of course. Wonderful.
11
Lord Porchester.
12
-[laughing]
-Ladies.
13
Is it just me,
or is this place faintly ridiculous?
14
[giggles]
15
Two of my great hates in life,
fine dining [A1] and
central London.
16
I just thought it's the kind
of special occasion place one came
17
if one had a special question to ask.
18
At this moment I wish I were a poet,
not a horse-breeder[A2] .
19
Will you marry me?
20
Oh, Porchey.
21
-That sounds like a "no."
-No, it's not a "no".
22
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
23
-That's... 12 no's.
-I would love to.
24
On one condition.
25
That you don't still hold a torch[A3]
for her.
26
Who?
27
Oh. Her.
28
I know how close you were,
and how close your families still are.
29
It's true. She and I, we are close.
30
I was close to her father.
I am close to her sister.
31
Our families are close.
32
In many ways, and I speak as a breeder
myself, it would have been a good match.
33
- Perfect match.
- I won't deny it.
34
[vehicle approaching, horn honking[A4] ]
35
Except for the fact[A5]
it was never on the cards[A6] .
36
For her, there was only ever Philip.
37
-[tires[A7] screech][A8]
-[Philip laughs and shouts]
38
And for you?
39
There's only you.
40
[Philip whistles]
41
Lilibet?
42
Right you are, Jock.
Yes, I'll let him know. Thank you.
43
I'm sure he'll be delighted. Bye.
44
Are you winning?
45
No. There was one, brief,
tantalizing[A9]
moment
46
when I thought I had it.
I moved
in for the kill[A10] .
47
But then one wrong brushstroke
and it got away once again.
48
I've just been talking to Jock
about your 80th birthday.
49
No, don't mention it.
50
Because it happens on the same day
as the opening of Parliament,
51
they've decided to combine events
52
and hold
a reception [A11] in your honor
at the Great Hall.
53
Oh, that's very nice.
54
Oh, and it's going to be
Graham Sutherland.
55
-Who?
-The painter.
56
-To paint your portrait.
-What portrait?
57
It's the official portrait commissioned
by both Houses. It's your present.
58
Sutherland? Never heard of him.
59
He's got quite the reputation.
He's a modernist.
60
Oh. Not sure I can trust a modernist
with an English name.
61
Give me a German modernist. Or an Italian.
62
They're the ones
who have to start all over again.
63
Whatever would an Englishman
want to change?
64
[Eden] It's grand[A12] to be home again
after so long an absence.
65
The surgeon who operated on me
told me yesterday that all was well.
66
I'll need to have a further period
of convalescence[A13] , put on some weight[A14] ,
67
but there is nothing else to worry about.
68
As I said, it's grand to be home again.
69
I look forward to being back at work
just as soon as possible.
70
[applause]
71
Thank you!
72
Thank you!
73
[phone rings]
74
-Hello?
-Porchey? I hope I'm not disturbing.
75
-Goodness.
-Am I disturbing?
76
[splashing[A15] ]
77
-No.
-Good.
78
It's Aureole.
I think we're making a mistake.
79
-I think we should lead from the start.
-And I think you're wrong.
80
But we both know
he doesn't hold up [A16] naturally.
81
We tried holding him up
against Darius before. And Darius won.
82
That was the Guineas, which is a mile[A17] .
83
This is the King George.
A mile and a half.
84
What will we do
if he plays
up [A18] before the race?
85
He always plays up. That's who he is.
86
You don't seem the slightest[A19] bit worried.
87
Anything else?
88
Well, can I just say one more time,
for the record[A20] ...
89
I think we should start fast,
and run at a good clip[A21] .
90
-Noted[A22] .
-I am right sometimes, you know.
91
Even you said yourself
that I have good instincts[A23]
92
You do.
And I might well live to regret it.
93
-That, and a good many other things.
-Oh, dear. Such as?
94
Good night.
95
[man] Mr.
Sutherland, Prime Minister.
96
-Good morning.
-How do you do?
97
-Good morning, hello. How do you do?
-Good morning.
98
-How do you do, sir? It's an honor.
-No, no. The honor is mine.
