All language subtitles for Charles Chaplin - A King In New York (1957)

We want the head of Shahdov!

Where is he?

He's gone!
To the treasury!

Traitor! Thief!
He's taken everything.

Your Majesty, say a few words
to the American people.

Just a moment.

- Who are you?
- His Majesty's Ambassador.

- Jaume!
- Your Majesty!

Glad to see you alive and well.

We fooled them!

Come on, break it up,
get a move on!

- My securities, are they safe?
- Turned over to Dr Voudel.

He says as your Prime Minister,
he has charge of everything.

Him?
I wouldn't trust that crooked...

There he is!

Your Majesty!

- My securities, where are they?
- Safely deposited.

In my name?

We cannot discuss that here.
First we must get rid of the press.

This way please.

Smile, Your Majesty!

One over here!

- Another one here!
- One serious.

Please gentlemen, no more pictures.

His Majesty King Shahdov has
been through a bloody revolution.

I hope you will keep this interview
as brief as possible.

Your questions, please.

I understand you got away
with all the loot.

If you're referring to what legally
belongs to His Majesty's government,

documents were transferred out of
the reach of revolutionary thieves.

Where are they?

That question is of a private nature
and cannot be answered.

You may answer.

They are safely deposited in a bank.

- In whose name?
- That is also of a private nature.

You may answer.

As P.M. Of His Majesty's
Government in exile,

they are in my name

until His Majesty deems fit
to have them otherwise.

Then I think I'll have them otherwise.

Be calm, Your Majesty. First you
must pass through Immigration.

Any further questions?

How about this controversy
over atomic energy?

Ladies and gentlemen,
that's how I lost my throne.

I wanted atomic energy
for domestic use

but my ministers wanted
atomic bombs.

Nevertheless, I have nuclear plans
that will revolutionize modern life

and bring about a Utopia
undreamed of!

Your Majesty, if I might interrupt,
the Immigration Officer is waiting.

- I beg your pardon.
- This way, Sir.

That will be all, gentlemen.

Here, Sir, for the fingerprinting.

Your right hand please, Sir.

Your Majesty, won't you say
a few words to the American people?

I am deeply moved by your warm
friendship and hospitality.

This big-hearted nation has already
demonstrated its noble generosity

to those who seek
a refuge from tyranny. Thank you.

Here are the funds
of the treasury, Sir.

I hope this will allay
your suspicions.

You should have said anxiety
and saved us both embarrassment.

Is this all there was in the treasury?

- That is all, Sir.
- No wonder we had a revolution.

- Where are the books and records?
- They were left behind.

I see.

So the funds and securities
are deposited in the First National?

- That is right, Sir.
- Then let's go there.

It's too late now, Your Majesty.
The banks are closed.

Is that all, Sir?

Yes Dr Voudel, but make yourself
available at 10 tomorrow morning.

- That's when the banks open?
- Yes, Sir.

Why didn't he tell you he'd taken
the funds of the treasury?

I don't know and I don't care.

But the press will accuse you.

A King is accused
of many things, Jaume.

Your Majesty,
you must remember...

Remember! After what I've been
through I want to forget.

Tonight I want the light
and the frivolous.

- I want to see the town.
- Steady, Sir, steady!

Jaume, if you knew what it means
to breathe this free air!

This wonderful, wonderful America!

Its youth! Its genius!
Its vitality!

The glamour of it all!
New York! America!

When I think of a million dollars

Tears come to my eyes

I think of all the blue...

- Would you like to go to a movie?
- Love it.

I got shoes

I got shoes
Shoes to step on all your blues.

When you do that rock and roll
with me tonight

Seems noisier here than outside.

It'll be quieter in a moment
when the picture comes on.

You're not well
Take a pill

Do you think
this sort of thing is healthy?

Gee, that sends me!

She bit me!

Completely insane.

First row?
Isn't this rather close?

It's the best we could get, Sir.

Who's there?

Leonard!

I've gotta kill ya honey.

It's for ya own good.

Missed!

It's no use, honey.

Our love has no place in this world.

That isn't true.
We can go to Denmark.

Stick 'em up! This is it!

Let's go.

This way, Sir.

I'll get you a waiter.

This is more agreeable.
Not so noisy.

Thank you very much.

- What are you having?
- I don't know.

I think I'll have some caviar.

- What will you have?
- I'll have the same.

Caviar.

Caviar!

How?

Look!

Caviar!

I think I'll have something else.

Have you any turtle soup?

Turtle soup, yes.

Turtle soup. Two.

Who?

Turtle!

Turtle! Turtle!

Soup!

Good morning Mr and Mrs America
and all the ships at sea.

This is the 10 o'clock edition
of the news.

King Shahdov,
dethroned Monarch of Estrovia,

who escaped his country with
the treasury, arrives in America.

King Shahdov brings to the States
a vast fortune and his atomic plans

in the hopes of revolutionizing
modern life

and bringing about a Utopia.

Your Majesty, Voudel checked out
last night and left for South America!

- Call up the bank!
- I did.

They said all funds had been
withdrawn the day you arrived.

He's stolen everything!

Then we shall expose him
as a thief and a scoundrel.

It's no use.
We have no records, no legal claim.

We're broke, Jaume.

You still have your atomic plans.

Blueprints. It'll be difficult
financing blueprints.

To think you're accused
of absconding with the treasury!

I'd sooner be thought a successful
crook than a destitute monarch.

Very well.

Her Majesty's arrived
and is on her way up.

Not a word to anyone
that we're broke.

Your Majesty,

may I say that what small fortune
I have is entirely at your disposal.

Jaume, dear Jaume.

If we can get finance
for these atomic plans,

we'll have all the money we want.

Irene!

- When did you arrive?
- An hour ago. I flew in from Paris.

- Alone?
- Yes.

It's all horrible.

Well, at least I still have
a head on my shoulders.

- How is your family?
- Very well, thank you.

Good! Are you staying long?

I'd like to return to Paris
as soon as possible.

Very well.

I won't keep you longer than
necessary. After what's happened,

I think we ought to come
to some understanding.

Irene, we've always been friends.

Good friends, if nothing more.

Always been honest
with each other,

and as you know, our marriage
was an affair of the State.

You were not happy
and naturally

you not being happy,
neither was I.

I was to blame for that.

Nonsense!

You were young

and very much in love.

Unfortunately, not with me.

No, neither was to blame.
It was the Throne

and now the Throne
no longer exists.

You want a divorce?

I want you to be happy.

I'll do whatever you wish.

I only wish to end
the hapless years you spent with me.

They were by no means hapless.

Then let's call them years
of a friendly misalliance.

Cheer up!
Let me order you some lunch.

Why is life so complicated?

How dull it would be if it weren't.

Main office.

Give me room service, please.

Room service.

Will you send up a menu?

Good heavens!

Come in!

Telegram, Sir.

Gracious!
I thought it was the menu.

Excuse me.

From that Cromwell woman again
about dinner this evening.

- You're definitely not going?
- Definitely.

There's one thing
we haven't discussed. Alimony.

I don't need it.
I'm quite rich, you know that.

From a lady about to get a divorce,
that's an incredible statement.

Do you realize today happens to be
the anniversary of our wedding?

Well, you look happier now
than you did then.

What a bore I must have been.

Considering we were
on our honeymoon,

you weren't exactly amusing.

You must have hated me.

- On the contrary, I loved you.
- How could you?

I thought you were too young
to know your own mind.

But you weren't.

- You haven't eaten a thing.
- I'm not hungry.

Let me order you something else.

Thank you.
I must think about leaving.

You're returning to Paris?

Yes. And you?

I must stay here.

- Why?
- Money.

According to the press,
you have millions.

I shall need them if I'm to put
through this atomic project.

Excuse me.

This is Transatlantic Airways.
We're holding reservations to Paris

if her Majesty intends leaving?

Thank you.
Her Majesty intends leaving.

Porter!
My boarding ticket.

Here are your chocolates
with the nougat inside

and those banal movie magazines
you're so fond of.

Allow me, Madame.

Passengers for London and Paris
check through Gate 9 please.

That's you.

Take good care of yourself.

Don't forget your magazines.

Write me if ever you need anything.

I will.

Let me hear from you
once in a while. Don't forget.

I won't.

It's the Cromwell woman again
about dinner this evening.

The answer is no.

You won't change your mind?

I'm not accessible to strangers
for the price of a free dinner.

I'm sorry but His Majesty regrets
he's unable to come this evening.

- Who is this creature?
- A prominent hostess here.

Publishes several women's magazines
and owns an important TV network.

Well, I have neither aspirations

to appear on television
nor to write for women's magazines.

We haven't come to that yet.

Besides I'm in no mood
for dinner parties.

Your Majesty,
the Queen's departure has upset you.

To part is to die a little.

Her Majesty looked
ineffably sad when she left.

Are you sure you want this divorce?

I'm sure the Queen does.

I'll swear Sir,
she's beginning to love you.

Wishful thinking Jaume,
wishful thinking.

I'd sell my soul for love

If I could find true love

There's nothing in the world

I wouldn't do.

I'd commit every sin

If I could win

Someone that's tender and true

Like Faust I'd sign away

My soul

If I could say

I'd found the one, the only one

To love, to love

I'd sell my soul

For love

Help!

Help!

Did you say help?

Help!

I'd better telephone downstairs.

Here! Stay where you are!

Help!

Go away! Help!

I wish,
I wish you'd make up your mind.

- Help!
- Wait a minute.

Where are you?

It's all right.

It's all right.
If you'd just... cooperate.

There you are!

Who are you, Sir?

I am... King Shahdov.

- What happened?
- I slipped and hurt my ankle.

Could I...

Thank you.

It's all right, I won't hurt.
I have a green thumb.

My name is Ann Kay.
How do you do?

Nicely, thank you.

I'm to meet you tonight
at Mona Cromwell's.

I'm sorry, I'm not going.

Oh no!
Everyone will be so disappointed.

Really?

Jaume, answer the telephone.

I beg your pardon, Sir.

Of course,
if you're going to be there,

I might consider.

I'll telephone you're coming!

Not yet.
We've hardly got acquainted.

But I must telephone.

And I must jump into a hot tub!

Madame Cromwell, I'm sorry

but His Majesty is quite definite.
He's not going.

Hello, honey.

Are you nervous,

bothered and upset?

Take off your clothes.

Relax.

With a bottle of Whitbread's beer

It'll give you pep
and give you cheer

Remember,

Whitbread's beer.

Your Majesty, it's that persistent
Cromwell woman again.

I've changed my mind. We're going.

I don't understand.

Nevertheless, we'll go.

Then do you mind if I stay home?
I'm rather tired tonight.

Of course, if you're tired.

- Where's Ann?
- There she is now!

Well, I got him.

You certainly did.
Tell me, how did you do it?

I rented the suite next to his.

So now you're living in the Ritz!

Not on your life!
It's too dangerous.

I'll be back
in my own apartment tonight.

So you got a King
on your program.

Not so loud!
He doesn't know it.

What sort of guy is he?

At dinner parties they say
he's gay and amusing

if you get him in the mood.

And that's up to you.

Take over, I've got to look for
that husband of mine.

- Fred! I've been looking for you.
- Here I am honey.

- Who's watching below?
- The doorkeeper.

He'll telephone the butler
the moment the King arrives.

What's all this business
about curtseying to the King?

Haven't you ever been
presented at Court?

Only for speeding.

Don't let them kid you.
Just do as the ladies do.

And another thing,
you don't sit before he does.

After 36 holes of golf,
I hope he sits quick.

Me too, with my swollen kneecap!

Well, here's a chance to sit
before he gets here.

His Majesty, King Shahdov!

Your Majesty,
may I present Miss Ann Kay.

How do you do? We've met before.

And Mrs Rochauser.

How do you do?

Miss Pam Butterworth.

- And Mr Bill Johnson.
- How do you do?

Excuse me.

Mrs Vera Loose...

Can you hear me?

- Where's Hank?
- That's him.

Hank, how goes it?

All lined up for television.

What's the routine?

I'll do the deodorant ad first
then see if I can get the King going.

I'll give you two buzzes
to start your commercials.

By the by, is that an El Greco?

Oh no, Sir. He's a Filipino.

I mean the picture opposite.

I'm not sure.
My wife bought it at an auction sale.

Indeed!

Would Your Majesty
care to sit down?

Thank you.

Your Majesty is served.

Don't you think Miss Ann Kay
very attractive?

Very, the little I've seen of her.

Madame, your health!

And... how is your ankle?

Much better, thank you Sir.

If it gives you any further trouble,
just knock on my door.

Frankly, I hope for the worst.

- You want to see me suffer?
- I want to see more of you.

- I find it close in here.
- Could be closer.

And the atmosphere quite stuffy.

It's anything but that.

How fortunate people
no longer consider the problem

of perspiring in stuffy rooms.

I beg your pardon?

Think of pretty young girls
being unpopular at dances

and they don't know why.

I don't follow you.

The answer is B.O.

- B.O.?
- Body odor!

But now that can be eliminated,

because there is such a thing
as FRESH.

That wonderful, soothing,
luring deodorant.

It keeps underarms dry.

Remember, you're lovely to be near
only when underarms stay dry.

That's why lovely women use it.

Remember: Keep fresh,

be fresh, with FRESH deodorant.

Who is this young lady?
I find her very odd.

She is a brilliant
advertising specialist.

Really!
She certainly has it on the brain.

Do you usually go off
the deep end this way?

- You think I'm crazy?
- I know so.

I know Your Majesty is a wonderful
actor who's played Hamlet.

I've dabbled in private theatricals.

I'd give anything to see your Hamlet.

Maybe you will one night.

Why not tonight?

OK, a private performance.

To be or not to be...

Now!

- You mean here?
- Why not?

Oh no, no, no!

I'll get everyone quiet.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we are privileged to witness
a great historic moment.

His Majesty King Shahdov

has graciously consented to give
us Hamlet's To Be Or Not To Be.

There are many ways of playing
the soliloquy of Hamlet.

There's the pale, thoughtful,
anemic Prince.

There's the mad, bombastic one.
Which do you prefer?

Anything but anemic.

Very well.

"To be, or not to be:

"That is the question.

"Whether 'tis nobler to suffer

"the slings and arrows
of outrageous fortune,

"or to take arms
against a sea of troubles,

"and by opposing end them?

"To die: To sleep, no more,

"and by a sleep to say we end

"the thousand natural shocks
that flesh is heir to,

"'tis a consummation
devoutly to be wished.

"To die, to sleep...

"To sleep,

"perchance to dream:

"There's the rub.

"For who would bear the whips
and scorns of time?

"The oppressor's wrong,
the proud man's contumely,

"the pangs of despised love,

"the law's delay.

"The insolence of office,
and the spurns that patient merit

"of the unworthy takes,

"when he himself might
his quietus take

"with a bare bodkin?

"Who would fardels bear, to sweat

"and grunt under a weary life?

"But that the dread

"of something after death

"that undiscovered country

"from whose bourn no traveler returns

"puzzles the will

"and makes us rather bear
those ills we have

"than fly to others
that we know not of?

"Thus conscience..."

- I've forgotten.
- Oh no! Please go on.

No, no. I'm sorry.

You've just heard
a recital of Hamlet

by His Majesty King Shahdov.

We now return to Ann Kay's
Real Life Surprise Party

after station identification.

This is station KXPA.

How can I thank you?

What a privilege. What genius!

- You liked it?
- You have such power, such anger!

What a success you'd be as an actor.

But actors need more
than genius to succeed.

- They need good sound teeth.
- Naturally.

Have you the assurance to speak

and face others without danger
of being repellent?

There you go again!

How can an actor play opposite
a lovely leading lady

if he's uncertain?

But with OXYTONE Toothpaste
he has confidence and control,

for OXYTONE Toothpaste
is the breath of violets.

OXYTONE will arrest decay,
remove yellow film

and restore teeth
to a beautiful whiteness.

You'll never regret,

you'll never fret,
if you use OXYTONE Toothpaste.

You know,
you're giving me a terrific complex.

Really?

I thought you were crazy,
but now I'm positive.

I thought you liked crazy people.

Yes, but how can you suddenly
branch off into toothpaste?

It must be an association of ideas.
Tomorrow I go to my dentist.

How boring.

Most boring!

You know, you really are funny.

You think so?

I must tell you some of my jokes.
Naughty ones!

Yes, can't we join
in the conversation?

Well, we were discussing dentists.

I loathe when you're helpless,
your mouth full of instruments,

and they answer the telephone.

- For example, do you mind?
- Not at all.

Just to illustrate.

You see, will you open
your mouth, please?

When you're in this position,

invariably the phone rings.

He answers it. You can't move.
He treats you like a drain pipe.

For the last hour and a half you've
been entertained by King Shahdov

on Ann Kay's Real Life
Surprise Party.

This is Station KXPA.

Still up?

- I haven't slept a wink.
- Indeed?

Your Majesty! After your positive
refusal to appear on television,

to see you reciting Hamlet,

putting knives and sugar tongs
down that wretched woman's throat!

Are you mad?

After what I saw, Your Majesty,
perhaps I am.

- You saw me on television?
- It's all so insane.

I'm an idiot! I thought something
peculiar was going on!

They must have had
hidden cameras.

- What do you mean?
- I knew nothing about it.

Outrageous. Sue them for damages!

Let's get out in the air.

It's rather late, Your Majesty.

I can't sleep.
We'll go to a nightclub.

We should return to Europe.

Don't be absurd. We need money.

After what's happened,
no businessman'll take you seriously.

Why?

Your Majesty!
A King playing Hamlet on television!

They'll question your sanity.

I suppose chasing a golf ball
just to put it in a hole is sane?

I prefer Hamlet to golf.

- We're ruined.
- Nonsense.

John, there he is!

Your Majesty,
may I congratulate you, Sir.

My wife and I saw you on television

and I just want to say
you certainly are a man of talent,

and may I say so, Sir,
a true democrat.

Thank you very much.

I'd like you to shake hands
with my wife.

Honey, this is His Majesty...

pardon me, King,
what is your last name?

That's it, King Shahdov!

How do you do?

Could I have your autograph
for my little boy?

Yes, by all means.
Have you a piece of paper?

I only have a Kleenex.

That'll do.
A pen?

No, I don't have a pen.

How do you expect a man
to write if you ain't got a pen?

I sure hope
it doesn't ruin your pen.

Sir, can I have
your autograph please?

Will you let us have the details?

- More mail, Sir.
- Take them in the next room.

That telephone's been
ringing for a week now.

We haven't had a moment's peace.

We'll let you know in due course.

Juniper Eyewash Company offering
$5,000 to appear on their program.

- Juniper what?
- Eyewash.

Here's an offer
from King's Lager Beer.

The answer is no.
King's Lager Beer!

Very well,
I'll take it in the next room.

Come in!

Your Majesty, my name's Johnson.

Advertising Rep for Crown Cheese.

For 2 words that won't take
more than 40 seconds of your time,

Crown Cheese will give you $10,000
to appear on television.

All you have to do is spread
Crown Cheese on a piece of toast,

take a bite, say "yum, yum"
and $10,000 are yours.

Show this gentleman to the door.

Are you crazy?
$10,000 for 2 words?

You don't have to memorize them,
they'll be on a blackboard!

This way, Sir.

It's that creature who was with you
on television, Miss Ann Kay.

- Have her come up.
- Tell Miss Ann Kay to come up.

The audacity of that woman to come
here after what happened.

Your Majesty, it's a changing world,
different values.

So it seems.

"Yum, yum!"
That's worth $10,000?

- Good morning.
- Well! Come in.

Congratulations Your Majesty.

You've electrified
the whole country.

Thanks to your peculiar ideas
of hospitality.

They're not mine, Your Majesty.

What do you want?

Mrs Cromwell asked me
to deliver this.

I believe there's a check inside
for $20,000.

Quite so. This will save me
the trouble of returning it to her.

I'm sorry you're angry.

I'm sure my anger means
nothing to you, Miss Kay.

Neither does my contempt.

Good morning.

That was a quick interview.

Jaume, put this in
the wastepaper basket.

At 12 o'clock you are to visit
a progressive boys' school.

I think it good policy after
that awful television business.

Have you heard from
the Atomic Commission?

Not a word.
I've telephoned them every day

for a week now,
but can't get through.

If we don't hear from them, some
of these offers may be worthwhile.

We haven't come to that yet.

Do you realize you've torn up
a check for $20,000?

Yes, from that Cromwell woman.

Good.

By the bye,
what is our bank balance?

912 dollars, to be exact.

What? Get some sticking plaster!
Thank Mrs Cromwell for the check!

Surely you're not accepting it?

A bird in the hand, my dear fellow.

But Your Majesty's honor,
your pride?

Pride? A King has no false pride.
Call her up!

It's 11:20, if you're going
to the school you'd better dress.

Call up Mrs Cromwell.

Here he is now!

Your Majesty! Just a moment!

Welcome, Your Majesty!

How do you do?
This is my Ambassador.

Well, young man?

Your Majesty,
we're not officially open yet

but I thought you'd like to see the
exhibit, then review the children.

I see.

Your Majesty.

I do hope you don't mind
these press photographers.

One of the curses
of the 20th century, I'm afraid.

I'm sorry gentlemen,
that will have to be all.

I'm very sorry, that is the last now.

I hope you don't mind
the press photographers.

After all, a Royal TV star
is quite an attraction.

May I explain to Your Majesty
what we're trying to do?

A progressive school strives
to develop a child's individuality,

to give him full rein to express
his feelings and desires

on the theory that individuality
and genius are cognate.

Interesting.

We encourage these little people
to run their own affairs.

Some prefer the fine arts,
others the occupational crafts.

This young man wishes to present
you with a sample of his art.

Well! Very kind of you.

Pardon me!

Go to your room at once.

We believe the seeds of genius
are in all children.

We strive to develop their instincts,
encourage their impulses.

Here is an ambitious young sculptor.

- What's that you're making?
- Fig leaf.

Interesting.

Nothing interesting
about a fig leaf.

Open, frank, uninhibited.
That's what we encourage.

Telephone message for Mr Jaume.

- Did they give any name?
- Miss Ann Kay.

Might be about that check,
you'd better go see.

- Where is the telephone?
- This way, please.

Show His Excellency to my office.

This way, Your Majesty.

And here is our bakery.

Excuse me, Your Majesty.

And this young man specializes
in Viennese pastries.

This is some
of our little friend's handicraft.

These are exactly the same
as the ones he's been making.

- Would you like to taste one?
- Oh no, thank you.

And here, Your Majesty,
we have an infant phenomenon.

A remarkable child of ten.

He's quite a historian,
editor of our school magazine.

Very interesting.

This, Your Majesty,
is Rupert, our young editor.

How do you do, Rupert?

Sit down.

- What's that you're reading?
- Karl Marx.

Surely you're not a communist?

Do I have to be a communist
to read Karl Marx?

That's a valid answer.

Well, if you're not a communist,
what are you?

- Nothing.
- Nothing?

I dislike all forms of government.

But somebody must rule!

And I don't like the word "rule".

Well, if we don't like the word "rule",
let's call it "leadership".

Leadership in government
is political power

and political power is an official
form of antagonizing the people.

What magazine did you say he edits?

A commentary on current events.

Pardon me, Your Majesty.

But my dear young man,
politics are necessary.

Politics are rules imposed
upon the people.

But in this country rules
are not imposed,

they are the wish
of all free citizens.

Travel around a bit,
then you'll see how free they are.

You didn't let me finish.

They have every man
in a straightjacket

and without a passport
he can't move a toe.

In a free world they violate
the natural rights of every citizen.

They have become the weapons
of political despots.

If you don't think as they think
you're deprived of your passport.

To leave a country
is like breaking out of jail.

And to enter a country is like
going through the eye of a needle.

Am I free to travel?

Of course you're free to travel.

- Only with a passport!
- May I say something?

Only with a passport!

Do animals need passports?

Have you finished?

It's incongruous that
in this atomic age of speed

we are shut in and shut out
by passports.

If you'll shut up and
let somebody else talk!

- And free speech, does that exist?
- No, you've got it all.

And free enterprise?

We were talking of passports.

Today it's all monopoly.

All right, now will you...

Can I go into the automobile business
and compete?

If I can get in a word!

Not a chance! Can I go into
the grocery business and compete?

- Will you shut up?
- Not a chance!

Monopoly is the menace
of free enterprise.

As I look back 60 years ago...

Where were you 60 years ago?

He was a glint
in his great grandfather's eye!

Very well, now. Have you finished?

Now let me say something.

Let me tell you how wrong you are.
In the first place...

In the first place...

I've forgotten
what I wanted to say.

And the atomic bomb!

It's a crime that when the world
cries for atomic energy

you want to make atomic bombs.

Me?

I'm against atomic bombs!

You want to wipe out civilization,
destroy all life

on this planet!

You still think you're living
in the 19th century!

I lost my throne because
I didn't want atomic bombs!

You and your kind think atomic
bombs can solve your problems.

Listen, you little rat!

Today man has too much power.

The Roman Empire collapsed with
the assassination of Cesar - why?

Because of too much power.

Feudalism blew up with
the French revolution - why?

Because of too much power.

And today the whole world
will blow up - why?

Because of too much power.

The monopoly of power

is a menace to freedom.

It degrades and victimizes
every individual.

And where is the individual?

I don't know.

Lost in terror because
he is made to hate instead of love.

If civilization is to survive
we must combat power

until the dignity and peace
of man are restored.

What's the meaning of this?

- Any news?
- No, Sir.

Nothing from
the Atomic Commission?

Not a word. I wrote them again
last week but have had no reply.

Strange.

No news. No social invitations.

- I believe it's a boycott.
- Why?

It could be something you said.

Your interview with the press
was rather political.

You mentioned your atomic plans

would revolutionize modern life
and bring about a utopia.

What's wrong with that?

Well, at the moment, everyone's
in such a state of hysteria

that such talk as utopia
terrifies them.

I never heard such nonsense.

What's that?

Might be news
from the Atomic Commission!

No, it's the hotel bill. I know the
envelope, they've sent it 5 times.

How much do we owe them?

$11,000.

Isn't that exorbitant?

Well, we've been here 6 weeks.

It also includes $3,000
you've had in cash.

How much have we left?

Not a penny, Sir.

Too bad we didn't accept
those TV offers.

I think we should move
to a cheaper hotel.

No, it's quite comfortable here.

But the atmosphere's
becoming frigid.

Even the waiters are getting rude.

I've been trying to get one
for 10 minutes.

Would you like some lunch, Sir?

Something simple.
Caviar, toast and onions.

Caviar?

Yes, a large tin of it,
and chop the onions very fine.

Same for you, Jaume?

Thank you, Your Majesty,
I'll take a ham sandwich and a beer.

And some vodka, on ice!

Your Majesty!

What's the meaning of this?

Pardon me, Sir.

Your Majesty,
I've just got to talk to you.

Please, listen first and if you
don't like it, throw me out.

Your Majesty,
I never take no for an answer.

I have a check for $50,000
from the Royal Crown Whiskey Co.

I know you don't need the dough...

Be seated, Miss Kay.

Thank you, Sir.

Thank you, Sir.

Your Majesty,
here's the proposition.

You're on television, seated
in a beautiful baronial hall.

A butler pours you a glass
of Royal Crown Whiskey,

and with your natural majestic charm
you say a few words and drink.

I'm to advertise whiskey?

I know it's beneath your dignity,
but there's $50,000 in there.

If you don't want the money
you can give it to charity.

That's a peach of an idea,
that charity angle!

We'll advertise it in all the papers.

I don't think it becomes His Majesty
to advertise his charitable donations.

Personally
I think it's most distasteful.

OK King, you're the doctor!

About the payment, when do we...

On signing the contract.

Jaume, attend to that matter at once.

Then it's a deal? Great!

Take him to the studios,
get him mugged.

We want pictures. Lots of dignity.

Say, you haven't got
your crown with you?

Under no circumstances
will I wear my crown.

OK King, you're the doctor!

Herbert, a little to the right.

May I suggest holding your glass
to one side? It's hiding your face.

There's a shadow.

Now one without the glass.

Herbert, bring up
a dozen colored plates.

You're really photogenic.

You still want to beguile me?

But I mean it.

You fooled me once.

And you've never forgiven me?

You're nothing but a delusion
and a snare.

I'm not really.

This is my revenge!

Do you want the large...
Oh, excuse me!

Yes, Herbert, what is it?

Do you want the large colored plates
or the three-quarters?

The large ones.

No, you'd better stay here!
Go ahead, get the large size.

He's gone?

I want you to look handsome, honey.
Good luck.

He's ready!

All right,
let's have one more rehearsal.

Now remember King,
give it that majestic stuff.

- You ready, butler?
- Go ahead!

Your Royal Crown Whiskey, Sir.

Thank you, Melrose. Royal Crown
Whiskey I always enjoy.

I know it, Sir. Your Gracious
Majesty is never without it.

- I don't like that last line.
- Right, it might get a laugh.

Cut that last line.

From your line please, King.

Thank you, Melrose. Royal Crown
Whiskey I always enjoy.

I know it, Sir.

That too can get a laugh.

Don't emphasize it, say it lightly:
"I know it, Sir".

Thank you, Melrose. Royal Crown
Whiskey I always enjoy.

I know it, Sir.

Cut it out entirely. Just nod.

Your health, Melrose!

What a flavor!
So strong, yet so mild.

So caressing
as it slips down the throat.

Then comes that warm afterglow
that energizes and exudes goodwill.

That's why I like
Royal Crown Whiskey.

- How's that?
- Great.

Give me the real whiskey.
Now quiet, everybody.

Wait for the red light, King!

Your Royal Crown Whiskey, Sir.

Thank you, Melrose. Royal Crown
Whiskey I always enjoy.

- Your health, Melrose.
- Thank you, Sir.

Say, what the...?

Cut it! Kill it! Cut it!

Went down the wrong hole!

What a fiasco!

- What started the coughing?
- The whiskey.

Never tasted such beastly stuff
in my life.

In a civilized country
we drink wine.

And that abusive Johnson man!

While I'm choking to death,
threatens to sue me!

Oh well, there's one consolation.
We've got their $50,000.

You've cashed the check, I hope?

- It's the Kay woman again.
- Have her come up.

Will you send Miss Kay up, please?

Wonder what she wants?
The money back, I suppose.

Oh no, this girl's rather decent.

They're all decent
until money's involved.

Not in this case.

This girl's trying to help.

What's her interest in you?

I'd rather not discuss it.

You might be shocked,
or agreeably surprised.

We're in!

We got 'em rolling!

Shell Oil, Imperial Tobacco,
Lipton's Tea!

They're all hot.
You can write your own ticket!

I don't understand.

Neither does anyone,
but it's a smash hit!

Everyone's talking about it.

Talking about what?

The broadcast!
It's the biggest laugh on television.

They all figured it was deliberate.

The sponsor thinks it's
the most original idea he's ever had.

They're going to give it
another nationwide hook-up!

Hiccup?

That means you can get
another $20,000 extra!

It's all very bewildering.
I don't understand it.

What's wrong?

If you're to advertise hormones,
you have to look young.

I think we'd better advertise
something else.

Of course not, this is a very
important contract. Smile.

No, don't do that.

The chin up.

I know.
All this flabby business here.

What plastic surgery
could do for you!

All that flabby business
could be eliminated.

- Including the wattles.
- Wattles?

The baggy...

Under the eyes.

You just don't like me, do you?

Nonsense! A little lift here and
there and you'd look quite young.

For instance,

all this can be pulled back
and eliminated.

Same with the nose.

I don't think
I want my nose eliminated.

No silly, but it could be improved.

It should be raised a little.

My nose?

You'd be surprised the youthful
effect it'll give you.

Go like this.

Don't be silly!

Don't be shy!

Pull it back. All back, tight!

How young you look!

Yes, but I'm strangling to death.

But what a difference!

Of course it accentuates
the small chin,

but that can be built up
with paraffin.

How horrible.

If you don't like paraffin,

you can have skin grafted
from another part of your body.

Don't let's go into that.

But you've got to look attractive
for television.

So you don't think I'm attractive?

I think you're beautiful.

Now to business.

Now let's have a real big smile.

No, no. That's too much.

Show's the receding gums.

But that too can be fixed.

From another part of my body,
I suppose.

Well, you'd be surprised.

I'd rather not think about it.

Gee, I've got an idea.

The before and after effect
of taking hormones.

We'll take a picture now
with everything sagging,

and then another one
when you've had your face lifted.

I promise you I can get you
another $100,000 extra.

I'll have to think it over.

No, Sir. Not a stitch showing.

Good! Just like a barber's shop.

Now can I take a look?

Today you can present
yourself to everybody.

Good heavens! What's that?

It's a shock at first,
but you'll get used to it.

Not that face, never!

You don't like it?

What have you done to my nose?

It's all there, Sir.
We've just raised it slightly.

- But the lip?
- I think it's cute.

You like it?

You look 20 years younger.

For a while you must be careful
not to stretch anything.

There's no fear of that.

At least until everything's healed.

- But the profile!
- It's very collegiate.

Who is it?

It's me, Ann.

- Heavens alive!
- What is it?

Your face!
What have they done to it?

You don't like it?

The lip!
They've shortened it too much.

This is a fine time to tell me.

But you can't appear
on television like that!

I knew it! They've taken off
too much of my lip.

Don't get excited.
They can put back your lip.

From another part
of my body, I suppose?

No, it can be lowered
by letting a pleat out.

Do you think my face is a skirt?

Smile.

That isn't smiling.

I have to be careful
not to stretch anything.

You don't have to be that careful.

Yes I do.
It's all tucked up behind the ears.

That shouldn't bother you.
Laugh!

My dear, that isn't laughing.
Laugh naturally.

I'm laughing naturally.

But that isn't natural,
what you're doing.

Now you're making me
self-conscious.

Laugh freely. Don't be afraid.

I'm not afraid.

Besides there's very little
to laugh at.

In fact,
there's nothing to laugh at.

Good evening, Miss Kay.

The man's a complete ass.

Frankly, I'm beginning to like it.

Sorry, Sir.
It was the first shock at seeing you.

Evidently you don't like it.

- I suppose I'll get used to it.
- Well, I won't.

It's all very depressing.

Don't be depressed. We'll go out
tonight, that'll cheer you up.

Nothing will cheer me up.

Now that it's ended

The romance is over

The passion is gone

Like the wind

And the rain

Gone are the joys

Of our madness

But the sadness

Goes on and on

Like an old-fashioned song

When I dream...

My lips won't meet.

I can't even drink through a straw.

Don't worry, you'll get used to it.

I can't pronounce my P's or my M's.

It's terrible.

I'm so depressed.

Stop thinking about yourself!

There are two comedians on next.
They're very funny.

I'm in no mood for anything funny.

A laugh will do you good.

The doctor said I'm not to laugh.
I might split something.

What's wrong?

I've come undone!

- What?
- It's all slipped.

- Let me have a look!
- No, no. Never!

No, Sir. Not a scar.

Good. It's all my own original face.

Every bit of it, Sir.

This isn't from another part
of my body, I hope?

No, Sir.

I even like my wattles.

- What do you think?
- Frankly, I liked the other face.

Well, I don't.

To me, it was more youthful.

What do you think?

Cute. You look 10 years younger.

Thank you.

- Send the bill to the hotel.
- I'll do that, Sir.

- My overcoat.
- It'll be in the waiting room, Sir.

This way, Sir.

Hi, King!

Don't you remember me?

I do, the most obnoxious brat
I've ever met.

That's too bad, but I don't feel
that way about you.

Oh, you don't?

We might have argued, but I thought
our talk was stimulating.

What are you doing out
in this weather?

Taking a vacation.

You look it.

Why aren't you at school?

I've graduated.

Why, you're shivering and blue!
Your clothes are sopping wet.

Don't worry, I'm OK.

You'd better come along with me.

You won't give me over to the cops?

- Of course not.
- You promise?

Come along before
you catch your death of cold.

This way, boy. This way.

First thing is to take off your wet
clothes and get into a hot bath

before you catch pneumonia.

Come on, straight forward here.

Right on through.
Into the bathroom.

This way.

Sit down and get your clothes off.

Are you hungry?
Good.

Jaume, order some hot soup
and chicken sandwiches.

For one?

Room service, please.

We'd like some hot soup
and chicken sandwiches for one.

Yes, thank you.

But Your Majesty,
I don't understand.

This is the brat I told you about.
Obnoxious, offensive, but a genius.

I still don't know
what it's all about.

Neither do I,
but I intend to find out.

Stop dallying, young man!

When you're through taking a bath,
put on these things.

That's the idea.
Hurry up, get in there.

Now, are you warm?

Just peachy.

Now young man, I want the truth.
How is it you're in this condition?

- I ran away from school.
- Why?

They want to question me.

- What about?
- My folks.

What have they done?

Nothing but maintain
their constitutional rights,

as any red-blooded American
would do.

Enough, enough.

The moment you put him
in a hot bath, he gets red-blooded.

Your Majesty, may I have
a word with you alone?

Hurry up out of that bath, put on
these things and come into the room.

What are you going
to do with this boy?

Let him stay here
till his clothes dry.

You have a broadcast in 20 minutes.
You cannot leave him alone here!

Why?

He's run away from school.

His parents are in trouble.
It's quite obvious what they are!

- Communists?
- Precisely.

So what?

But you cannot afford to be
involved in such a situation.

Should the boy freeze to death just
because his parents are communists?

What if they are communists?

Are we to send him into the street
in wet clothes?

At least we can wait
till they're dry.

Jaume, what are you looking for?

Dictaphones!

You've been here too long.

Next thing you'll be saying
the boy's a communist.

You can't be too sure of anyone.

Gee, these are swell!

Sit in that chair, boy.

Food will be here in a moment.

Now...
Tell me, are you a communist?

Yes Sir, I am.

I thought you disliked
all forms of government?

I do, but I'm so sick and tired of
people asking me if I'm this or that.

So then if it pleases everybody,
I'm a communist.

Boy, bring that chair up to the table.

Hot soup
and chicken sandwiches, Sir.

Sign the check, Jaume.

Is His Majesty King Shahdov there?

No, he's gone out.

Have you any idea
when he will return?

He left an hour ago.
He should be back any moment.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Telegram for His Majesty!

There's a strange kid
in that apartment.

I've never seen him before.

Who are you, son?

Me? Who are you?

I'm the house detective.
What are you doing here?

Waiting.

Waiting for who?

My uncle.

Your uncle?

Hi, Uncle.
This is the house detective.

Pardon me, Sir.

I didn't realize he was your nephew.
Just checking up.

Quite so.

Well, Your Highness?

I'm sorry, Sir.

Explain yourself!

Well, he came in and wanted to know
what I was doing

and when he said he was a cop,
I got scared.

So I said I was waiting for my uncle
and then you came in.

Why pick on me for your uncle?

You were the only one around.

Thank you.

The weather seems to be clearing up,
so our friend can be on his way.

- Meet Prince Rupert.
- What?

Been telling the house detective
I'm his uncle.

I knew something
like this would happen.

I'm sorry. I'll go.

Don't be foolish,
your clothes are still wet.

Jaume, you'd better buy him
some new ones.

Three gentlemen from where?

The Atomic Commission?

I can't hear.

They're leaving Washington today?

They're on their way!

We're cut off.

They said they're leaving today
or they're on their way.

It was a bad connection.

If they're on their way
we'd better get the plans.

Right, it requires both our signatures.
Oh, the boy!

We'll discuss that.

We'll get him some clothes.

Then we'll be rid of him?

Of course. He'll be gone hours
before they get here.

I'm sure His Majesty's in.
He was a moment ago.

This way gentlemen, please.
Kindly be seated.

Good afternoon. Is His Majesty in?

He just left.

I believe I'm addressing
the King's nephew, am I not?

I thought so.
That's what I just heard.

The King's nephew. Well, indeed!

This is an unexpected pleasure.

Have you any idea, Sir,
when His Majesty will return?

He said he was going to the bank
to get some plans.

Then we'll wait.

I'll leave you gentlemen
with His Royal Highness.

Your Highness,

is this your first visit
to our country?

Oh no, I've been here a long time.
Practically all my life.

Is that so?

Sounds like a real American boy,
don't he?

He sure does.

Do you go to school here?

Yeah, in Brooklyn.

Brooklyn! So your daddy wants you
to have an American education?

Well, you see,

my father don't believe
in this King business,

so he changed his name
and came to live in Brooklyn.

That's where he met my mother.

She didn't know he was a Prince.

She just thought he was
an ordinary emigrant,

but she loved him,
so she married him.

That's how I was born.

That's how the King
became my uncle.

But my uncle don't speak to my
father because they always quarrel.

One time
they were going to fight a duel.

That's why my father
came to America,

to give air and sunlight
to his thoughts.

The land of the free and the home
of the brave was his inspiration.

But today that freedom
is threatened.

Committees are searching men's
minds, controlling their thoughts.

And those who have the courage
to stand up are boycotted,

lose their jobs
and are left to starve.

Say, what the...?

They are condemned without trial.

Look here, young man!

Such procedure debases
the legality of our courts,

which says that no state
may deprive any person of life,

liberty, freedom of speech,
without due process of law!

This will about fit him.

Put this with the other things.

Rather fun.

We don't want the Commission
to arrive while that boy's there.

Hurry up, please!

- Scandalous!
- Outrageous!

These investigations, Sir,
are necessary

when our security is threatened.

With the hydrogen bomb
you have no security.

Why, that's communist talk!

Only with world cooperation
and understanding are we secure.

If you were older, Sir,
I'd report you to the authorities.

All right, report me!

Make me give names! Make
a sniveling stool pigeon out of me!

Brainwash me! But you can't.

They couldn't brainwash the signers
of the Declaration of Independence!

And you can't brainwash me.

Nobody wants to brainwash you.

Enough!

Excuse me, gentlemen.

- I can't take it!
- You'll take it all right.

These bigoted bombastic people
look as if they're going to explode!

I'm sorry, gentlemen,
for this unfortunate occurrence.

Fits well.

Tell me,
whatever started the argument?

I don't know.
I just get going and I can't stop.

You think too much.

I can't help it.

You should play more.

Who can I play with?

Haven't you any friends your age?

They bore me.

Why?

All they think about
is Superman, cowboys.

- What's the matter with that?
- I hate Superman.

You hate a lot of things, don't you?

I don't hate you.

Nevertheless,
you must return to your school.

You can't stay here.
Especially as Prince Rupert.

I had to tell those gentlemen
the truth.

You didn't tell them my name.

I don't know your name.

Yes you do, Rupert.

- Rupert what?
- Macabee.

Macabee! A Scot!

No wonder you're a non-conformist.

- Is that your move?
- There's no other move.

Very well.

Set them up. We'll play again.

Where's Mr. Jaume?

He went down to the bank
with the plans.

Were the gentlemen interested?

They say they have
similar plans of their own.

This is another televised
recording of the investigation

of the Congressional Committee
on Un-American Activities

going on in the Federal Building
downtown New York City.

They'll expose communism in all
branches of American institutions.

The Committee has already
questioned scientists,

educators, churchmen,
writers and actors.

But first a glimpse
of the humorous side.

The investigators indulge
in a Hollywood touch,

to make themselves photogenic
before appearing on television.

And now for a more serious aspect.

The actual investigation
in progress.

The chairman
is questioning a witness.

Raise your right hand.

Do you swear to tell the truth?

I do.

- State your name.
- James Durkin.

- Profession?
- School teacher.

Mr Durkin, were you ever
a member of the Communist Party?

I was, Sir. I joined the Communist
Party in 1940, resigned in 1950.

In 1940 did you meet Mr and Mrs
Macabee, school teachers?

I did, Sir.

Mr and Mrs Macabee, stand up.

Take a look at this man and woman.

Are they the same Macabees
that you met in 1940?

They are, Sir.

To the best of your recollection,

were they at that time members
of the Communist Party?

They were, Sir.

That's all, Mr Durkin.

Mr Macabee will now
take the witness stand.

On the witness stand, Macabee
admitted he had been a communist,

but had resigned 5 years ago.

When asked to give information
about other party members,

Macabee refused to answer.

Mr Macabee, if you don't answer
you'll be charged with contempt.

I will answer any questions
concerning myself,

but it is against my conscience
to give names

or to inform on other people.

This Committee cites witness for
contempt of Congress. Remove him.

I charge this committee with
fomenting a cold civil war of hate...

James Macabee
now faces contempt charges.

If convicted he'll receive a minimum
sentence of 1 year per charge.

KXPA now returns you to popular
music from the hit parade.

There there, Rupert.

Here, take this.

What shall I do?

Staying away from school
won't help now.

Supposing I take you back in my car?

Then tomorrow I'll come visit you.

- You promise?
- I promise.

My name's Ulrich, Sir.
United States Marshal.

What can I do for you?

I'm looking
for Rupert Macabee, Sir.

- Come in.
- Thank you, Sir.

So there you are!

What is it, Marshal?

He's just missing from school
and I've come to take him back.

Supposing I save you the trouble
and take him back myself?

I'd like to oblige, Sir,
but we have our orders.

- Would you like me to come along?
- I'll be OK, Sir.

Sure he will,
we're not going to eat him.

Remember what you promised?

I do. I'll be along tomorrow.

All right son, let's go.

Just a minute!
Here's the rest of your apparel.

- Here's your overcoat.
- I'll take the rest, Sir.

Thank you. There.

Thank you, Sir.

All right, son.

Thanks. For everything.

What's the line up for the news?

Mr and Mrs Macabee have just been
cited for contempt of congress.

Who cares about schoolteachers?

And their 10 year-old son
has just been found.

That won't set the world
on fire either.

He was picked up
in King Shahdov's suite at the Ritz.

Wait a minute!
Yeah, we got something there!

Will that be all, Sir?

- Some hot water.
- Sorry, Sir.

I have a strange feeling
I'm being followed.

It's your imagination.

I hope so. Where's the boy?

He's gone.

A U.S. Marshal called for him.

- Here?
- Yes, here.

Sit down and have some tea.

Dear, dear.
I wish this hadn't happened.

- Why?
- To be arrested here!

He wasn't arrested.

The newspapers
will make an ugly story of it.

What do they know?

They know everything.
They may be listening now.

You're being slightly hysterical.

There, you see!
I've made a complete ass of myself.

I'm sorry.

I'm not an alarmist,

but if the newspapers
find out that boy was here...

- What time is it?
- 5 o'clock.

Turn on the radio.
We're just in time for the news.

Good afternoon, Mr and Mrs
America and all the ships at sea.

Rupert Macabee,
son of the schoolteachers

charged with contempt of congress,
was picked up at the Ritz

where he's been hiding
since his disappearance.

Sensational developments
since the boy's arrest

involve a dethroned monarch
said to be paid by communists.

Latest developments uncovered
an international atomic spy ring.

This reporter, in cooperation
with our secret agents,

are following clues to bring these
foreign conspirators to justice.

Turn it off! Turn it off!

The whole thing
is too silly for words.

Royal Communist!

The expression
is a reductio ad absurdam.

Jaume, you're nervous.
Let me do that.

Of course you are.

You don't know what you're doing.

- Sugar?
- T... t... two.

- You're stuttering.
- M... m... me?

Hot water, Sir.

Come in!

We'd better call up Green,
the lawyer.

Plaza?
72038 please.

Is that A.P. Green's law office?
Mr Green?

Just a moment please.
His Majesty wants to speak to you.

Mr Green on the phone.

There's a man outside.

This is King Shahdov.

Don't say too much over the phone.

Then you've heard the news?

Yes. You'd better come right away.

I see.

Be careful not to be served
with any papers.

I don't want you subpoenaed
until you've seen me.

Right-o!

- We must leave right away.
- Very well.

- Is the coast clear?
- He's still there.

I might try the fire escape.

I have an idea.

You wear my hat
and I'll wear yours.

He'll follow me and that will
give you a chance to get away.

Now wait a moment.
I'm all confused. Who am I?

You're me and I'm you.
We just exchange hats.

Ah, very good! Here.

Do I look like that?

- Who is it?
- It's me, Ann.

Open the door.

Did you hear that broadcast?

Yes, we're on our way
to see a lawyer.

That makes my American blood boil!

There's a man outside waiting
to subpoena me.

Don't worry about that.
I'll take care of him.

I'll go out first, hold him in
conversation, then you can get away.

Good! Go ahead!

Well, if it isn't Harry!

- My name's not Harry.
- What is it?

- Irving.
- Of course, Irving!

Well, how are you?

I don't know you.

Don't be silly.
Take off your glasses.

Stop, just a minute!

Can I have your autograph, please?

All right.

Come on out. Hurry up, please.

One at a time, please.
All right, all right.

Your Majesty, King Shahdov?

All right. There you are.

That's OK, you can keep that.

All these for the plane?

Yes.
The trunks are to go by freight.

Miss Kay is on her way up.

Remember Sir, you haven't much time
if you want to visit that boy.

Good morning.
I've come to say goodbye.

I'd come to the airport
but I've a broadcast.

Who gave you this?

I beg your pardon?

Jaume, will you go downstairs
and pay the bill?

It's already paid, Your Majesty.

- Then pay it again.
- Oh, of course, yes.

I hate to see you go.
Why don't you stay?

It's too crazy here.

Don't judge by what's going on
today. It's a passing phase.

Very soon it'll all be over.

Quite so. In the meantime,
I'll sit it out in Europe.

That Committee affair has made you
the most popular man in America.

From now on
you can write your own ticket.

I've bought it.
Back to the Continent.

Telegram, Sir.

It's all right, Sir.
Everything's being looked after.

Excuse me!

From the Queen.

She's decided not to get a divorce.

Well, aren't you happy?

I don't know. Maybe.

- Where is she?
- Paris.

Then why don't you stay
and have her over?

With you around?

Oh honey, you know we don't
mean that much to each other.

There you go,
giving me another complex.

You must leave immediately
if you're to visit that boy's school.

Very well.

Goodbye, Ann.

Take care of yourself.

You know I'm very,
very fond of you.

I'm going to miss you, honey.

If I were only 20 years younger!

You'd better get back to your Queen!

Come on, you'll be late.

Don't forget your hat!

This way, Your Majesty.

How do you do, Sir.
Won't you sit down?

Will you have the boy brought in?

How is the little fellow?

He's been through quite an ordeal,
poor chap,

but he's doing better
now his parents are out of jail.

But I thought they were sentenced
to 2 years?

They were. But the Committee
recommended a suspended sentence

so now they're free.

Indeed?

And they can thank
the boy for that.

The parents were foolish, stubborn,
protecting others. Fortunately,

the boy cooperated.

Cooperated?

It's been a happy solution
all round.

I see.

Here he is! Rupert,
there's someone here to see you.

Hello, Rupert.

I brought you some toys

and one or two things
I thought might amuse you.

He looks pretty good,
don't you think?

We still have our moods and doubts,
don't we Rupert?

But I keep telling him
he has nothing to worry about.

We consider Rupert a hero
and a real patriot.

We're all very proud of him here.

Now come, Rupert.
I thought we were all over this.

Cheer up, Rupert.

When all this hysteria is over,

I'll have you and your family
come and visit me.

- You promise?
- I promise.

Poor little fellow,
I think a trip would do him good.

But of course,
there are complications.

Well, let's hope
they'll soon be over.

I hope so too, Sir.

We all hope.

This is nothing to worry about.
