FATTER BECAUSE HE IS NOT DOING, WHAT, WHAT?

DO YOU KNOW ENGLAND, SIR?

I THINK SO, SIR.

YOU KNOW BRIGHTON, BATH, YES.

BUT YOU KNOW ITS MILLS AND MANUFACTORIES?

DO YOU KNOW ITS FARMS? BECAUSE I DO.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY CALL ME?

WHAT, SIR? FARMER GEORGE.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS?

IMPERTINENT, SIR?

NO, SIR. LOVE.

AFFECTION.

IT IS ADMIRATION, SIR.

YOU OUGHT TO MARRY, SIR, SETTLE DOWN.

YES, GROW UP.

GOOD PLAIN WOMAN. THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT.

THEN THE PEOPLE WILL LOVE YOU, SIR,

AS THEY LOVE ME.

IT IS NOT GOOD, THIS IDLENESS.

THAT IS WHY YOU'RE GETTING FAT, SIR.

DO NOT BE FAT, SIR. FIGHT IT. FIGHT IT!

DO YOU ENJOY ALL THIS FLUMMERY, MR. PITT?

NO, MR. FOX.

DO YOU ENJOY ANYTHING, MR. PITT?

A BALANCE SHEET, MR. FOX.

I ENJOY A GOOD BALANCE SHEET.

WHEREAS WE, GEORGE III,

IN THIS YEAR OF OUR LORD 1788

DO OPEN THIS PARLIAMENT, GIVING NOTICE

A BILL FOR THE REGULATION OF TRADE,

WITH OUR POSSESSIONS IN NORTH AMERICA.

AHEM.

OUR FORMER POSSESSIONS IN NORTH AMERICA.

A BILL FOR...

YOU SEE THAT THE KING

DID NOT WRITE HIS OWN SPEECH, MR. PITT.

THE KING WILL DO AS HE'S TOLD, MR. FOX.

THEN WHY NOT BE RID OF HIM?

IF A FEW RAMSHACKLE COLONISTS IN AMERICA

CAN SEND HIM PACKING, WHY CAN'T WE?

PETITIONERS FOR THE KING.

PETITIONS FOR THE KING!

King's spokesman: HIS MAJESTY IS UNHARMED!

I HAVE A PROPERTY DUE TO ME

FROM THE CROWN OF ENGLAND.

THE POOR CREATURE'S MAD. NO, NO, NO.

DO NOT HURT HER. SHE HAS NOT HURT ME.

GIVE ME MY PROPERTY,

OR THE COUNTRY WILL BE DRENCHED IN BLOOD.

WILL IT, INDEED, MADAM?

WELL, NOT WITH THIS.

IT'S A FRUIT KNIFE.

WOULDN'T CUT A CABBAGE.

OH.

AH. WHO ARE YOU, SIR?

OH, THIS IS CAPTAIN GREVILLE, SIR,

THE NEW EQUERRY.

WELL, YOU ARE UNDRESSED, SIR.

DO YOURSELF UP, SIR.

YOU'RE AN EQUERRY, NOT A SCARECROW.

I HAVE A PROPERTY DUE TO ME

FROM THE CROWN OF ENGLAND.

YOU MURDEROUS FIEND!

THANK GOD I HAVE YOU YET.

DO NOT FUSS, MADAM.

THE KING HAS NO WOUND, JUST A TORN WAISTCOAT.

ONE WOULD CONSIDER THAT ALMOST AS VEXING.

WHAT WAS THAT?

I WAS REJOICING, SIR, THAT YOU ARE UNHARMED.

THE SON REJOICES.

THE PRINCE OF WALES REJOICES. HUH.

ME, TOO, PA.

GOD SAVE THE KING... AND SO ON.

YOUR MAJESTY!

AHA, MR. PITT.

WELL, YOU HAD A LUCKY ESCAPE.

WHAT, WHAT?

AYE, YOUR MAJESTY.

YES, YOU. YOU'RE MY PRIME MINISTER.

I CHOSE YOU.

IF ANYTHING WERE TO HAPPEN TO ME,

YOU'D BE OUT AND MR. FOX WOULD BE IN.

THERE'S NO DANGER OF THAT, SIR.

RIGHT. BACK TO WINDSOR.

GEORGE!

SMILE, YOU LAZY HOUND.

IT'S WHAT YOU'RE PAID FOR.

SMILE AND WAVE. COME ON.

I AM GETTING FATTER.

I AM GETTING FATTER.

I DON'T MIND THAT.

OH? WHAT DO YOU MIND?

OH? WHAT DO YOU MIND?

THAT THE WORLD THINKS I'M JUST YOUR MISTRESS.

THAT'S WHAT I MIND.

THAT'S WHAT I MIND.

YOU SHALL BE QUEEN ONE DAY...

THE WHOLE BAG OF TRICKS.

I AM DETERMINED.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE THOUGHT A CATHOLIC WHORE.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE THOUGHT A CATHOLIC WHORE.

GEORGE...

GREAT COMFORT.

GREAT COMFORT.

THIS FELLOW WE'RE PUTTING IN

AS A PROFESSOR AT OXFORD.

WAS HIS FATHER CANON OF WESTMINSTER?

I HAVE NO IDEA, SIR.

YES, YES, PHILLIPS.

THAT'S THE FATHER. THIS IS THE SON.

AND THE DAUGHTER MARRIED THE ORGANIST

AT NORWICH CATHEDRAL.

SHARPE. YES, AND THEIR SON IS THE PAINTER.

AS THE OTHER SON IS A MASTER AT ETON,

AND HE MARRIED SOMEBODY'S NIECE.

YOUR MAJESTY'S KNOWLEDGE

OF EVEN THE LOWLIEST OF YOUR APPOINTMENTS

NEVER CEASES TO ASTONISH ME.

HA HA.

[CLOCK CHIMES]

AH, WELL,

YOU HAVE ONE VERY BIG IDEA--

BALANCING THE BOOKS--

AND A VERY GOOD IDEA IT IS TO HAVE, TOO--

WHAT, WHAT--

AND ONE WITH WHICH I ABSOLUTELY AGREE.

AS I AGREE WITH YOU, MR. PITT, ON EVERYTHING.

APART FROM THE PLACE WE MUSTN'T MENTION.

APART FROM THE PLACE WE MUSTN'T MENTION.

THE COLONIES!

THEY'RE NOW CALLED THE UNITED STATES, SIR.

ARE THEY?

GOODNESS, ME.

THE UNITED STATES.

THE UNITED STATES.

WELL, I HAVEN'T MENTIONED THEM.

WELL, I HAVEN'T MENTIONED THEM.

I PREFER NOT TO, WHATEVER THEY'RE CALLED.

THEY ARE A FACT, SIR.

THEY ARE A FACT, SIR.

THE VICAR OF LICHFIELD!

SIR.

THE VICAR OF LICHFIELD.

IT WAS HIS NIECE THAT MARRIED

THE SECOND SON OF THE ORGANIST

AT NORWICH CATHEDRAL.

GOOD NIGHT, MR. PITT.

YOUR MAJESTY,

LADY TOWNSEND WISHES TO SIT DOWN.

WELL, CERTAINLY NOT!

WHAT?

LADY TOWNSEND WANTS TO SIT DOWN.

WHAT FOR?

Because she is five months pregnant.

SO? YOU'VE HAD 15 CHILDREN.

SO? YOU'VE HAD 15 CHILDREN.

IF EVERYBODY WHO IS HAVING A BABY WANTS TO SIT,

THE NEXT THING IT WILL BE EVERYBODY WITH GOUT!

BEFORE LONG, THE PLACE WILL LOOK LIKE A TURKISH HAREM,

OH, THAT'S ENOUGH.

GOOD EVENING, MR. KING.

WHEN WE GET THIS FAR,

I CALL IT DANDY, HEY?

YES, MR. KING.

OHH.

I ATE A PEAR AT SUPPER.

2 PEARS, SIR.

2 PEARS, SIR.

IT'S AS TIGHT AS A DRUM!

AAH! RRRAH!

HA HA HA.

SAVING YOUR PRESENCE, I WILL TRY A FART.

SAVING YOUR PRESENCE, I WILL TRY A FART.

NO?

NO?

COLD FISH, PITT.

NEVER SMILES.

YET HE WORKS HARD, THOUGH.

NEVER STOPS.

DRINKS, THEY SAY.

THEY ALL DRINK.

HIS FATHER, POOR MAN...

WENT MAD.

HUH. DOESN'T SHOW ANY SIGN OF THAT.

MMM.

NOT AT THE MOMENT, ANYWAY.

HA HA HA HA HA HA!

OHH!

OH, THE PAIN!

GEORGE!

GEORGE!

OHH! OH! GEORGE! OH!

OH! HELP ME. HELP US!

HELP US!

HELP!

HE LOOKS WELL ENOUGH.

I SENT OVER SOME SENNA.

WAS THAT GIVEN TO HIM?

YES. THE PAIN GOT WORSE.

WHEREABOUTS WAS THE PAIN?

WOULD IT NOT BE BETTER TO ASK HIS MAJESTY THAT?

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN WAITING?

I CANNOT ADDRESS HIS MAJESTY UNTIL HE ADDRESSES ME.

I CANNOT INQUIRE AFTER HIS MAJESTY'S SYMPTOMS

UNTIL HE CHOOSES TO INFORM ME OF THEM.

SIR GEORGE, WHATEVER HIS SITUATION,

HIS MAJESTY IS JUST A MAN.

YOU'RE THE KING'S EQUERRY

WITH RADICAL NOTIONS LIKE THAT?

GOOD GOD!

WITH ANY PATIENT,

I UNDERTAKE A PHYSICAL EXAMINATION

ONLY AS A LAST RESORT.

IT'S AN INTOLERABLE INTRUSION

OF A GENTLEMAN'S PRIVACY.

WITH HIS MAJESTY, IT'S UNTHINKABLE!

SHARP, SHARP! THE KING! THE KING!

AH, BAKER. YES, A NINNY, WHAT, WHAT?

WELL, YOU CAN TELL HIM I AM MUCH BETTER.

I HAD A PRETTY SMART BILIOUS ATTACK,

VERY SMART INDEED,

BUT IT HAS PASSED.

SIR, WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE

TO TAKE HIS MAJESTY'S PULSE?

WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE

TO TAKE YOUR MAJESTY'S PULSE, SIR?

YES, GO ON. DO IT, DO IT, DO IT.

NOW DON'T FAFF, SIR.

HOLD IT, MAN. DON'T FONDLE IT.

WERE YOU RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SENNA, BAKER?

I PRESCRIBED IT FOR YOUR MAJESTY.

THEN YOU ARE A FOOL, BAKER, WHAT, WHAT.

IT'S ONLY A MILD PURGATIVE, SIR.

MILD, SIR? 14 MOTIONS, AND YOU CALL IT MILD?

I COULD HAVE MANURED THE WHOLE PARISH.

IF 2 GLASSES CAN BRING THE KING LOW,

IT COULD BE THE END OF ALL GOVERNMENT.

YOUR MAJESTY WAS ONLY TO TAKE 3 SPOONFULS.

WHEN DID 3 SPOONFULS OF ANYTHING

DO ANYBODY ANY GOOD?

MEASURE THE MEDICINE TO THE MAN, BAKER.

HOW'S THE PULSE?

IT'S VERY, VERY FAST.

GOOD, GOOD.

YOUR MAJESTY WILL PROBABLY FEEL BETTER AFTER A WARM BATH

AND ITS SETTLING EFFECT ON THE SPIRIT.

WELL YOU HAVE ONE.

YOUR SPIRIT'S MORE AGITATED THAN MINE.

King: BREATHE THIS AIR, MR. GREVILLE. BREATHE IT!

COME ON, LADS. KEEP UP. KEEP UP!

THIS IS THE WAY WE DEAL WITH AMERICA, SIR.

I'LL TEACH YOU, SIRS!

TAKE THAT, MR. COLONIST!

AND THAT, SIR!

AND THAT!

FETCH THE QUEEN.

FETCH THE QUEEN.

NO, NO. THAT'S NOT CRICKET.

YOU DON'T HOLD THE BAT LIKE THAT.

WHAT IS HE DOING?

OVER THERE. OUT OF THE WAY.

OVER THERE. OUT OF THE WAY.

RUN!

HOW'S THAT?

OUT!

YAY! YAY! YAY!

OH, GOOD GOD!

WELL DONE. WELL DONE, LADS.

THE FOLLOWING DAY, HE ROSE BEFORE DAWN,

WENT ROUND TO THE PROVOST OF ETON'S LODGINGS,

AND BY PERSISTENT BATTERING ON THE DOOR,

ROUSED THE PROVOST

AND COMMANDED HIM TO SHOW HIM THE CHAPEL!

SO?

WELL, LORD CHANCELLOR, IT WAS STILL DARK.

HAVE WE COME TO THE END OF THIS CATALOGUE

OF REGAL NONCOMFORMITIES?

[COUGHING]

MR. PITT.

MR. PITT.

BECAUSE I'VE HEARD NOTHING TO SUGGEST

HIS MAJESTY'S BEHAVIOR IS IN ANY WAY UNUSUAL.

HE ALSO HARPS ON AMERICA...

THE COLONIES.

CAPTAIN FITZROY,

FOR THE STRONGEST REASONS,

BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC...

BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC...

A DEGREE OF DISCRETION.

AND A HOLD ON PUBLIC FUNCTIONS.

NO LEVEES OR CONCERTS.

JUST, UH...JUST...

HMM?

HMM?

THE CORK'S TOO TIGHT IN THE BOTTLE.

THAT'S THE TROUBLE.

HE MUST BE THE FIRST KING OF ENGLAND

NOT TO HAVE A MISTRESS.

15 CHILDREN SEEM TO ME TO INDICATE

A DEGREE OF CONSCIENTIOUSNESS IN THAT REGARD.

I'M TALKING OF PLEASURE, NOT DUTY.

ACTUALLY, THERE WAS A MYSTERIOUS ILLNESS

ONCE BEFORE IN YOUR FATHER'S TIME.

GOVERNMENT WAS AT A STANDSTILL.

WELL, IT WAS OF NO CONSEQUENCE.

IT WAS OF NO CONSEQUENCE

BECAUSE HE RECOVERED.

IT WAS OF NO CONSEQUENCE BECAUSE THE PRINCE OF WALES

WAS THEN A CHILD OF 3.

IT WAS OF NO CONSEQUENCE BECAUSE MR. FOX AND HIS FRIENDS

WERE NOT PERCHED IN THE RAFTERS

WAITING TO COME IN.

WAITING TO COME IN.

WE CONSIDER OURSELVES BLESSED IN OUR CONSTITUTION.

WE TELL OURSELVES

OUR PARLIAMENT IS THE ENVY OF THE WORLD.

BUT WE LIVE IN THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING

OF A SOVEREIGN

AS MUCH AS ANY VIZIER DOES THE SULTAN.

THE SULTAN ORDERS IT BETTER.

HE HAS HIS SON AND HEIR STRANGLED.

HE HAS HIS SON AND HEIR STRANGLED.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

CRICKET? PA?

HOW'S THAT?

WHAT, WHAT?

WELL PLAYED, HEY, HEY?

TO WATCH IT, SIR, WAS QUITE DISTASTEFUL.

HE WAS NOT HIMSELF.

WARREN, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I'M NOT THE KING'S DOCTOR.

NO, NOR EVER WILL BE.

HE'S MORE LIKELY TO GO TO MY TAILOR

THAN MY DOCTOR.

BUT, SIR, THIS IS NOT THE SAME.

BUT, SIR, THIS IS NOT THE SAME.

COULD HE BE ILL?

UM...

YES.

YES.

MORNING, SIR.

MORNING, SIR.

MORNING, SIR.

OHH. AH.

OHH. AH.

SHERRY...

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE KING WERE ILL,

HMM?

I MEAN, GRAVELY ILL.

YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESS

WOULD HAVE TO BE DECLARED REGENT.

REGENT?

KING IN ALL BUT NAME.

WITH ALL THE POWERS.

SUBJECT TO PARLIAMENT.

CHARLES, DON'T QUIBBLE.

AND CERTAINLY...

ALL THE FUNDS.

[LAUGHTER]

[LAUGHTER]

HA HA HA HA.

JUST THINK OF IT.

REGENT.

REGENT.

PRIME MINISTER.

[CHUCKLING]

AMERICA FORGIVEN.

LONDON REBUILT.

PARLIAMENT COULD BE REFORMED.

A PALACE ON PRIMROSE HILL.

THE SLAVE TRADE ABOLISHED.

YEAH! YEAH!

OH, YES. ALL THAT, TOO.

SIR...

IS HE ILL?

IS HE ILL?

WELL, HE'S NOT WELL.

WHAT IS THAT TO YOU?

THE KING IS UP.

WHEN THE KING IS AWAKE, YOU'RE AWAKE.

WHEN THE KING IS AWAKE, YOU'RE AWAKE.

4:00.

6 HOURS SLEEP IS ENOUGH FOR A MAN,

7 FOR A WOMAN, AND 8 FOR A FOOL.

WE'VE HAD 3. WE WENT TO BED AT 1:00.

NO, SIR. ARITHMETIC.

OH. WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

THE KING'S WATER IS BLUE, SIR.

SO?

IT'S BEEN THIS COLOR SINCE THIS BUSINESS BEGAN.

WHAT BUSINESS? DON'T BE INSOLENT.

WE THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE IMPORTANT.

WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS NOT TO DANGLE ABOUT.

THE KING'S HALF UNDRESSED AND UNATTENDED--

THAT'S WHAT'S IMPORTANT.

GIVE ME THAT.

THIS IS THE KING'S WATER.

WELL?

IT CONSISTS OF OBSERVATION.

WHETHER A MAN'S WATER IS BLUE OR NOT

IS NEITHER HERE NOR THERE.

WELL, I'M OLD AND INFIRM.

I'LL NOT TROUBLE YOU LONG.

I WISH YOU THE BEST OF HEALTH, FATHER.

WISH ME? WISH ME?

YOU WISH ME DEATH,

YOU PLUMP LITTLE...

CUCKOO.

[CHUCKLES]

HUSH, FATHER, HUSH.

HUSH?

HUSH?

HUSH!

[GASPING]

[MUSIC STOPS]

[PEOPLE MURMURING]

YOU DARE TO STOP THE KING OF ENGLAND

FROM SPEAKING HIS MIND?

FROM SPEAKING HIS MIND?

FATHER, PLEASE!

PLEASE!

PLEASE, PAPA! FOR GOD'S SAKE!

NO, PAPA!

I'LL CHOKE THE AIR OUT OF YOU!

LET ME AT HIM!

I'LL WRING HIS NECK!

IT WAS SOMETHING HE ATE.

YOU FOOLS! YOU'LL ALL BE PUT OUT!

[GASPING]

WE KNOW YOUR GAME, YOU MONSTER!

AS HEIR TO THE THRONE, MR. PITT,

I KNOW HIS MAJESTY BEARS A HEAVY BURDEN.

I FEAR THE TIME IS COMING, MR. PITT,

WHEN IT IS A BURDEN WE SHALL BE FORCED TO SHARE.

WHEN IT IS A BURDEN WE SHALL BE FORCED TO SHARE.

SIR...

NO, NO.

MRS. FITZHERBERT HAS OUR ENTIRE CONFIDENCE.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR OPENS]

AHH, BAKER, HOW IS THE KING?

STILL DEMENTED, SIR.

AND THE PULSE IS 104.

THEN HE'S NOT IN COMMAND OF HIS SENSES?

NOR LIKELY TO BE...

IF I MAY SAY SO, SIR.

IN THAT CASE,

SINCE HIS MAJESTY'S NOT FIT TO LOOK AFTER HIMSELF,

WE MUST DO SO.

IN THE FUTURE, YOU, WARREN,

WILL PARTNER BAKER AS THE KING'S PHYSICIAN.

I MUST INSIST THAT THIS ARRANGEMENT

BE SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF HIS MAJESTY'S MINISTERS.

INSIST?

APPROVAL?

A SON'S CONCERN FOR HIS SICK FATHER?

WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO, MR. PITT?

HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS IS QUITE RIGHT.

THIS IS A FAMILY MATTER.

THANK YOU...

LORD CHANCELLOR.

LORD CHANCELLOR.

THE CHILDREN!

THE CHILDREN!

THE CHILDREN ARE ASLEEP.

WE MUST WAKE THEM UP!

LONDON IS FLOODED.

WE MUST FLEE FOR HIGHER GROUND.

SAVE AMELIA, ADOLPHUS, AND LITTLE OCTAVIUS.

COME. COME.

OCTAVIUS IS DEAD, SIR.

WHO'S KILLED HIM-- HIS BROTHER?

YES, HE WOULD KILL ME, TOO.

GEORGE--

HUSH, MY BABY! YOU'RE SAFE WITH PAPA.

PAPA LOVES YOU.

HE JUST DOESN'T WANT YOU TO GET YOUR FEET WET.

COME. COME.

Amelia: MAMA!

PAPA'S NOT MAD. NO, HE'S NOT MAD.

HE'S JUST LOST HIMSELF, THAT'S ALL.

WE MUST GET TO THE ROOF.

SIR...

YOU ARE TALKING!

I KNOW I'M TALKING!

I FOLLOW MY WORDS. I RUN AFTER THEM.

I AM DRAGGED AT LOCUTION'S TAIL!

[AMELIA CRYING]

I HAVE TO TALK TO KEEP UP WITH MY THOUGHTS.

Amelia: I'M SCARED.

I THOUGHT HE HAD TAKEN YOU.

WHO, SIR?

THE OTHER GEORGE, THE FAT ONE.

YOU WERE NOT IN MY BED.

I THOUGHT YOU HAD DECEIVED ME WITH A SON!

STILL, ELIZABETH COMES TO MY BED.

[SHOUTING]

ELIZABETH, YOU LEAVE US!

ALL OF YOU, GO! JUST GO!

YOU, TOO. GO!

[SOBBING]

YOU WANT TO TALK?

THEN TALK. TALK AWAY.

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH HIM

THAT YOU DO NOT DO WITH ME, MADAM?

AT IT LIKE PIGS, THE PAIR OF YOU, HUH?

[GASPS]

THOSE FAT HANDS...

THAT YOUNG BELLY...

SIR, FOR PITY'S SAKE--

THOSE WARM THIGHS!

YOU HARLOT!

GEORGE, HEAR ME!

DO YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE MAD?

DO YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE MAD?

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW.

MADNESS ISN'T SUCH TORMENT.

MADNESS ISN'T HALF BLIND.

MADMEN CAN STAND.

THEY SKIP. THEY DANCE.

AND I TALK.

I TALK AND TALK AND TALK.

I HEAR THE WORDS, SO I HAVE TO SPEAK THEM.

I HAVE TO EMPTY MY HEAD OF THE WORDS.

I HAVE TO EMPTY MY HEAD OF THE WORDS.

SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED.

SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED.

SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT.

SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT.

OH, CHARLOTTE.

OH, CHARLOTTE.

OHH...

OHH...

[SOBBING]

[SOBBING]

Greville: I WILL NOT DO THIS, SIR.

Fitzroy: IT IS BY ORDER OF THE PRINCE.

I'M EQUERRY TO HIS MAJESTY, NOT THE PRINCE.

HIS MAJESTY IS OUT OF HIS MIND!

YOUR MAJESTY...

CAN WE NEVER BE SOLITARY?

I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE US.

I AM TALKING WITH HIS MAJESTY.

HAVE THE WATERS SPREAD? HUSH! HUSH!

NO, MY DEAR. NO. NO.

GREVILLE'S RIGHT.

HE'S RIGHT TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS.

WE MUST FETCH THE CHILDREN.

TAKE THEM TO THE HIGHER GROUND.

SAVE AMELIA, ADOLPHUS,

LITTLE OCTAVIUS.

NOW, BRING THE QUEEN.

Greville: BRING THE QUEEN!

I'VE BEEN INSTRUCTED BY HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS

TO MOVE YOUR MAJESTY'S LODGINGS, MA'AM.

UH, WHY? WHERE?

IT IS TO ASSIST HIS MAJESTY'S RECOVERY.

CAPTAIN FITZROY!

GO, SIR, GO! GEORGE!

GO, SIR, GO! GEORGE!

YOUR MAJESTY IS NOT TO HAVE ACCESS

TO THE KING'S PRESENCE.

NOT HAVE ACCESS? BUT I AM THE QUEEN.

WHERE ARE YOU TAKING HIM?

NO! STOP!

GEORGE!

TYRANT!

TYRANT!

[MURMURING]

[MURMURING]

ASSAULTED BY BOTH ONE'S PARENTS IN THE SAME EVENING.

WHAT IS FAMILY LIFE COMING TO?

I WAS TOLD THAT, IN ENGLAND,

ALWAYS THE PRINCE HATES THE KING.

IS THAT WHY HE IS MAD?

IF HE'S MAD, SIR,

YOU'VE MADE HIM SO BY YOUR IDLENESS.

IF I'M IDLE, MADAM,

IT'S BECAUSE THE KING GIVES ME NOTHING TO DO.

DO? DO WHAT I DO.

I SUPPORT HIM.

I HAVE 15 OF HIS CHILDREN.

BE GRATEFUL TO ME

FOR GIVING YOU A BREATHING SPACE--

NO, ABREEDINGSPACE.

I'M SORRY. THAT REALLY IS AWFULLY FUNNY.

HA HA HA HA!

[EVERYONE LAUGHING]

[EVERYONE LAUGHING]

GEORGE. NO, GEORGE, PLEASE.

AHEM.

PLEASE LET ME STAY WITH HIM. PLEASE.

NO, MADAM.

ON WHAT AUTHORITY?

MEDICAL AUTHORITY, MA'AM.

ON THE AUTHORITY OF A SON, MA'AM,

WHO CARES FOR HIS SICK FATHER.

BUT I'M HIS WIFE. DON'T I CARE FOR HIM, TOO?

POSSIBLY, MADAM.

BUT IN HIS CURRENT FRAME OF MIND,

I'M AFRAID HIS MAJESTY

DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE FOR YOU.

DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE FOR YOU.

NO!

[SOBBING]

[SOBBING]

COME, MADAM.

LET ME SHOW YOUR MAJESTY

WHERE THEY HAVE LODGED US.

WHERE THEY HAVE LODGED US.

[MOANING]

UH, THIS IS SIR LUCAS PEPYS, LORD CHANCELLOR,

WHOM I'VE TAKEN THE LIBERTY OF CONSULTING.

THE MORE THE MERRIER.

ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH HIS MAJESTY'S CONDITION?

I HAVE SPENT A LIFETIME

STUDYING THE ANFRACTUOSITIES

OF THE HUMAN UNDERSTANDING.

AN--WHAT?

THE MIND, SIR, AND IT'S, UH...

DELINQUENCIES.

IF IT WERE POSSIBLE,

I WOULD VALUE AN EARLY VIEW

OF ONE OF HIS MAJESTY'S MOTIONS.

YES. THAT COULD BE ARRANGED, COULDN'T IT?

BUT WHAT THE DEVIL'S THE MATTER WITH HIM?

PERSISTENT DELIRIUM--

AND THE PULSE SOMETIMES RISES TO 110.

THE PULSE VARIES. IT DOESN'T SIGNIFY.

I AGREE.

I'VE ALWAYS FOUND THE STOOL

MORE...ELOQUENT THAN THE PULSE.

[MAN GROANS]

SO, UH, WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST?

AN IMMEDIATE PURGE.

WARREN?

HE NEEDS BLISTERING.

BLISTERING ON THE BACK

TO DRAW THE HUMORS FROM THE BRAIN.

BLISTERING ON THE LEGS

TO DRAW THE HUMORS TO THE LOWER EXTREMITIES.

I AGREE...

BUT HE'LL NEVER SUBMIT.

BUT HE'LL NEVER SUBMIT.

HELLO THERE, GEORGIE BOY.

NOT MY SKIN.

NOT MY SKIN, PLEASE.

OH, FOR PITY'S SAKE.

I'M THE LORD'S ANOINTED.

O, GOD, UNTO WHOM ALL HEARTS BE OPEN,

ALL DESIRES KNOWN,

AND FROM WHOM NO SECRETS ARE HID, CLEANSE THE--

H-H-HEARTS BY THE INSPIRATION OF THY HOLY SPIRIT

THAT WE MAY PERFECTLY LOVE THEE

AND WORTHILY MAGNIFY THY HOLY NAME,

THROUGH CHRIST OUR LORD! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!

MY MOST MERCIFUL FATHER...

STRAY FROM THY WAYS LIKE LOST SHEEP.

WE FOLLOW TOO MUCH.

GOD, HELP ME. HELP ME.

[SOBBING]

HAVE MERCY UPON US...

MISERABLE OFFENDERS.

[DISTANT VOICE] DO NOT TOUCH ME!

I'M THE KING!

GO AND TELL THE QUEEN I AM ASSAULTED!

THE QUEEN!

QUEEN! HELP!

QUEEN! HELP!

HE SOILS HIS CLOTHES.

URINE. EXCREMENT.

HE TALKS FILTH,

THE SLOPS OF HIS MIND SWILLING OVER.

I AM NOT A NURSE.

IF HIS MAJESTY CANNOT REGULATE HIMSELF,

HOW SHOULD HE REGULATE THE COUNTRY?

I SHALL BE RELIEVED WHEN IT IS ENDED,

ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

[SPEAKING LATIN]

[SPEAKING LATIN]

OMNI FELONIOUS.

OMNI VICTORIOUS.

HAPPY AND GLORIOUS.

MR. PITT, YOUR MAJESTY.

MR. PITT, YOUR MAJESTY.

WHERE?

HERE, YOUR MAJESTY.

HERE, YOUR MAJESTY.

STAND CLOSE, MR. PITT.

YOU'LL HAVE TO SPEAK UP. I DON'T SEE VERY WELL.

THERE IS A FOG HERE...

AND...IN MY EAR.

[SOBBING]

IN MY EAR.

IN MY EARS.

THERE HAVE BEEN QUESTIONS IN THE HOUSE, SIR.

In the house?

In the house?

Parliament?

WELL, DO NOTHING, MR. PITT. NOTHING.

I'M NOT MAD.

I'M...

I...

I CAN'T SEE.

THERE IS A MIST.

OH, THE QUEEN.

I MISSED HER.

I MISSED HER.

I--I--I--

I MISSED HER.

GONE. GONE.

GONE. GONE.

GONE. GONE.

THE DOCTORS THOUGHT IT BEST, SIR.

OH, GOD!

OH, GOD!

OH!

OH, GOD!

[WAILING]

[WAILING]

HONORABLE MEMBERS WOULD, I AM SURE, LIKE TO KNOW

THAT I SAW HIS MAJESTY YESTERDAY,

AND THE ONLY SYMPTOMS OF HIS DISORDER

WERE A TENDENCY TO REPEAT HIMSELF

AND A WANDERING FROM ONE TOPIC TO ANOTHER--

A CHARACTERISTIC THAT IS SHARED

BY MOST OF THE CONVERSE OF POLITE SOCIETY...

[LAUGHTER]

WHICH, IF JUDGED SEVERELY,

WOULD WARRANT THE CONSIGNMENT TO BEDLAM

OF MANY IN THIS HOUSE!

HA HA HA HA! HA HA HA HA!

Speaker: MR. FOX.

MR. PITT'S CONSOLING PLEASANTRIES

SHOULD NOT DECEIVE THE HOUSE.

THE KING IS INCAPACITATED.

THERE ARE THOSE WHO SAY

HE HAS LOST HIS REASON.

IT ISN'T SO!

NONSENSE! IN WHICH CASE,

I PROPOSE A BILL BE DRAWN UP

TO MAKE THE PRINCE OF WALES...

REGENT.

[SHOUTING]

Speaker: ORDER!

ORDER!

THE MOTION BEFORE THIS HOUSE

IS THAT A BILL BE SPEEDILY DRAWN UP

TO APPOINT THE PRINCE OF WALES

REGENT OF THIS KINGDOM!

THE HOUSE WILL DIVIDE.

THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN, FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

SIR, I MUST VOTE.

FOR THE LIFE OF ME,

I CAN'T SEE WHY THEY NEED TO VOTE.

THE KING IS INCAPABLE. WE KNOW IT AND THEY KNOW IT.

THESE ARE THE NATION'S REPRESENTATIVES.

SOME COME TO PARLIAMENT IN THE HOPE

THAT THEY MIGHT SERVE THEIR COUNTRY.

BUT MOST OF THEM, BEING HUMAN,

ARE HERE TO FILL THEIR POCKETS.

PITT AND YOUR FATHER

HAVE DONE THEM VERY WELL--

PENSIONS, PLACES...

BRIBES.

ONCE IT IS PLAIN THAT PITT IS FINISHED

AND THERE IS NO MORE SWILL IN THE TROUGH,

YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESS WILL BE MADE REGENT.

YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESS WILL BE MADE REGENT.

SIR, I MUST JOIN THE LINE.

GOVERNMENT? 30?

YOU MEAN WE HAVEN'T WON?

WELL, WE DIDN'T EXPECT TO WIN OUTRIGHT,

NOT THE FIRST VOTE.

I THOUGHT THEY LIKED ME.

THEY WILL, SIR, THEY WILL,

IN TIME.

TIME, ALWAYS TIME.

NOW IS THE TIME, CHARLES! NOW!

NOW IS THE TIME, CHARLES! NOW!

AND THAT'S OUR BOY.

GOD ROT ALL ROYALS.

GIVE US THE WISDOM OF AMERICA.

GIVE US THE WISDOM OF AMERICA.

BUT HE WILL RECOVER IN TIME, SURELY.

WHAT GOOD IS THAT?

ONCE HE'S MADE REGENT,

THE PRINCE WILL HAVE HIM LOCKED AWAY

IN SOME WINDSOR HELLHOLE.

MAD OR SANE, NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW.

YOU'VE BEEN READING TOO MANY NOVELS.

HE HAS TO RECOVER SOON,

OR WE'RE DONE FOR.

OR WE'RE DONE FOR.

MR. PITT.

MR. PITT.

LADY PEMBROKE.

LADY PEMBROKE.

HER MAJESTY UNDERSTANDS THAT YOU ARE DISSATISFIED

WITH HIS MAJESTY'S DOCTORS.

THE KING IS NO BETTER.

MR. PITT, MY MOTHER-IN-LAW LOST HER WITS,

AND A SUCCESSION OF PHYSICIANS

FAILED TO RECOVER THEM FOR HER.

THERE WAS, HOWEVER, ONE DOCTOR

WHO WAS CONFIDENT OF HER RETURN TO HEALTH.

ACCORDINGLY, SHE WAS PLACED IN HIS CARE.

AND IS SHE RECOVERED?

ENTIRELY.

RIDES TO HOUNDS,

FOUNDED SOME ALMSHOUSES,

EMBROIDERS AROUND THE CLOCK.

I'VE WRITTEN DOWN HIS NAME.

ACCESS TO HIM AT ALL TIMES.

YOU WILL RESIDE HERE AT WINDSOR,

AND PARLIAMENT WILL HAVE TO BE KEPT INFORMED,

THEY MUST BE CONFIDENT,

THE SURVIVAL OF THE GOVERNMENT DEPENDS UPON IT.

THE SURVIVAL OF THE GOVERNMENT DEPENDS UPON IT.

AHEM.

THIS GENTLEMAN, SIR,

HAS MADE THE ILLNESS UNDER WHICH YOUR MAJESTY LABORS

HIS SPECIAL STUDY, SIR.

HIS SPECIAL STUDY, SIR.

A MAD DOCTOR, IS IT?

I'M NOT MAD, JUST NERVOUS.

I SHALL ENDEAVOR TO...

ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE INCONVENIENCES

FROM WHICH YOUR MAJESTY SUFFERS.

INCONVENIENCES?

INSULTS.

ASSAULTS.

ASSAULTS.

AND SALTS BESIDES RUBBED INTO THESE WOUNDS.

LOOK.

BY YOUR DRESS, SIR, AND GENERAL DEMEANOR,

I'D SAY YOU WERE A MINISTER OF GOD.

THAT'S TRUE.

I WAS ONCE IN THE SERVICE OF THE CHURCH.

NOW I PRACTICE MEDICINE.

YOU'VE QUITTED A PROFESSION I'VE ALWAYS LOVED

AND EMBRACED ONE I MOST HEARTILY DETEST.

OUR SAVIOR WENT ABOUT HEALING THE SICK.

BUT HE HAD NOT 700 POUNDS A YEAR FOR IT.

HA HA HA!

WELL, THAT'S NOT BAD FOR A MADMAN.

WELL, THAT'S NOT BAD FOR A MADMAN.

I HAVE A HOSPITAL IN LINCOLNSHIRE.

LINCOLNSHIRE.

YES, I KNOW LINCOLNSHIRE.

FINE SHEEP THERE. ADMIRABLE SHEEP.

PIGS, TOO.

BUT I KNOW OF NO HOSPITALS.

MY PATIENTS WORK, SIR.

THEY TILL THE SOIL,

CULTIVATE...

AND IN SO DOING,

THEY ACQUIRE A BETTER CONCEIT OF THEMSELVES.

I'M KING OF ENGLAND.

A MAN CAN HAVE NO BETTER CONCEIT OF HIMSELF.

IF THE KING REFUSES FOOD, HE WILL BE RESTRAINED.

IF HE CLAIMS TO HAVE NO APPETITE,

HE WILL BE RESTRAINED.

IF HE SWEARS

AND INDULGES IN MEANINGLESS DISCOURSE...

HE WILL BE RESTRAINED.

IF HE THROWS OFF HIS BEDCLOTHES,

TEARS AWAY HIS BANDAGES,

SCRATCHES AT HIS SORES,

AND DOES NOT STRIVE EVERY DAY AND ALWAYS

TOWARDS HIS OWN RECOVERY,

THEN HE MUST BE RESTRAINED.

I AM THE KING OF ENGLAND!

NO, SIR!

YOU ARE THE PATIENT!

YOU ARE THE PATIENT!

NOT PERMITTED.

NOT PERMITTED.

WE RECOMMENDED HIM,

AND STILL IT IS NOT PERMITTED.

AND STILL IT IS NOT PERMITTED.

NONE OF THEM KNOW HIM.

COME ON, BAKER, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE.

HE IS NOT HIMSELF.

HOW CAN THEY RESTORE HIM TO HIS PROPER SELF,

NOT KNOWING WHAT THAT SELF IS?

HE'S AN ANGEL OF KINDNESS AND GOODNESS.

OH, NOT FOR ME.

I MAKE THE WEATHER

WELL, ACTUALLY, IT'S NOT TOO BAD ABOUT THE QUEEN

BECAUSE ACTUALLY I WAS NEVER ACTUALLY MARRIED TO HER.

I WAS MARRIED TO THE TALL ONE ELIZABETH.

[SPEAKING GERMAN]

AH-AH! WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, SIR?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

[COUNTING IN GERMAN]

DON'T THEY SPEAK GERMAN IN LINCOLNSHIRE, THEN?

IT IS A YEAR OR TWO AGO.

DID THE BRIDE NOT MENTION SHE WAS A CATHOLIC?

WHY SHOULD SHE?

AHA! AHA. HERE IT IS.

AHA! AHA. HERE IT IS.

THE PRINCE CANNOT MARRY WITHOUT THE KING'S PERMISSION,

AND HE CANNOT MARRY A CATHOLIC.

YOU PERFORMED AN ILLEGAL MARRIAGE.

AND HE ONLY GAVE ME 10 POUND.

WELL, HERE'S 10 POUNDS MORE.

KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.

OH, THE STOOL, THE STOOL.

MY DEAR PEPYS, THE PERSISTENT EXCELLENCE OF THE STOOL

HAS BEEN ONE OF THIS DISEASE'S MOST TEDIOUS FEATURES.

WHEN WILL YOU GET IT INTO YOUR HEAD

THAT ONE CAN PRODUCE A COPIOUS, REGULAR,

AND STILL BE A STRANGER TO REASON?

AND STILL BE A STRANGER TO REASON?

MR. SPEAKER, I WILL NOT TROUBLE THE HOUSE

THE BILL IS READY, SIR.

I'M A SNAIL, LORD CHANCELLOR,

CREEPING MY WAY TOWARDS THE THRONE.

EVEN MARIA IS BECOMING IMPATIENT.

ONLY FOR HIS MAJESTY'S RECOVERY, SIR.

AND NOW THE LORD CHANCELLOR

HAS COME OUT IN FAVOR OF YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESS.

THE END IS SURELY IN SIGHT.

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN IN FAVOR OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS.

OF COURSE.

ALTHOUGH THE PRESENT SITUATION

CALLS FOR A CERTAIN DELICACY.

THIS IS YOUR FATHER, SIR. BE KIND.

RELY ON YOUR OARS, SIR.

YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESS HAS BUT TO WAIT.

WAIT?

LORD CHANCELLOR, MY LIFE HAS BEEN WAITING.

I ENDEAVOR TO CULTIVATE LANGUOR,

BUT IT IS DIFFICULT TO BE LANGUID

WHEN THE THRONE OF ENGLAND IS PENDING.

PEOPLE LAUGH AT ME.

WHAT MUST I DO TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY?

I TELL YOU, SIR,

TO BE PRINCE OF WALES IS NOT A POSITION...

TO BE PRINCE OF WALES IS NOT A POSITION...

IT IS A PREDICAMENT.

IT IS A PREDICAMENT.

SHE HAS MORE SENSE THAN HE HAS.

IT TAKES CHARACTER

TO WITHSTAND THE RIGORS OF INDOLENCE.

TO WITHSTAND THE RIGORS OF INDOLENCE.

MARIA IS NOT MENTIONED.

WHAT IS THERE TO SAY?

WE WERE MARRIED FOR 28 YEARS,

NEVER SEPARATED, EVEN FOR A DAY.

YOU ABANDONED ME TO MY TORMENTORS.

BUT THE DOCTORS SAID IT WAS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.

MY GOOD? WHAT DO THEY KNOW OF MY GOOD?

GEORGE, THEY MAY NOT PERMIT ME TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

A BILL HAS BEEN PREPARED TO MAKE THE SON REGENT.

HA HA HA.

REGENT? HMM.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

HE IS TO RULE IN YOUR PLACE.

"THE PRINCE OF WALES

SHOULD HAVE FULL POWER AND AUTHORITY."

[MUMBLES]

[MUMBLES]

"ALL AUTHORITIES, PREROGATIVES, AIDES..."

"ALL AUTHORITIES, PREROGATIVES, AIDES..."

WHY WAS I NOT TOLD OF THIS?

WHY WAS I NOT TOLD OF THIS?

THE BILL DOESN'T MATTER, SIR.

HE'S ON THE MEND?

I SAY, THAT'S GOOD NEWS.

DOES ANYONE ELSE KNOW?

NO.

IT MAY BE ONLY TEMPORARY.

WELL, I SEE NO REASON

TO DISSEMINATE THE INFORMATION.

WE CAN DECIDE JUST HOW ILL HIS MAJESTY IS

WHEN THE BILL IS PASSED...

EH, WARREN?

EH, WARREN?

NEARLY THERE, CHARLES.

NEARLY THERE, CHARLES.

WHERE'S THURLOW?

"THESE WEEKS ARE MEMORIES OF THOSE WORSER HOURS."

"THESE WEEKS ARE MEMORIES OF THOSE WORSER HOURS."

"I PRAY THEE PUT THEM OFF."

"HOW DOES THE KING--"

"HOW DOES THE KING--"

LORD THURLOW, SIR.

YES, WE ARE READING A SPOT OF SHAKESPEARE.

WILLIS, GIVE HIM THE BOOK.

WILLIS, GIVE HIM THE BOOK.

OH,KING LEAR.

IS THAT WISE?

I HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS ABOUT, SIR.

NOW, I'M ASLEEP, APPARENTLY,

AND CORDELIA COMES IN AND ASKS THE DOCTOR--

THAT'S GREVILLE HERE-- HOW I AM.

OFF WE GO.

UH, WHO'S CORDELIA?

YOU ARE.

YES, BUT WILLIS CAN'T DO IT.

HE'S A FINE DOCTOR BUT A HOPELESS ACTOR.

OFF YOU GO.

OFF YOU GO.

AHEM.

AHEM.

"OH, YOU KIND GODS,

"CURE THIS GREAT BREACH IN HIS ABUSED NATURE.

"CURE THIS GREAT BREACH IN HIS ABUSED NATURE.

"THE UNTUNED AND JARRING SENSES, OH, WIND UP.

YES, THE CHILD-CHANGED FATHER IS VERY GOOD.

YES, THE CHILD-CHANGED FATHER IS VERY GOOD.

YES, GO ON, GREVILLE, IT'S YOU NOW.

YES, GO ON, GREVILLE, IT'S YOU NOW.

"HE HATH SLEPT LONG.

"BE BY, GOOD MADAM,

"WHEN WE DO AWAKEN HIM.

I DOUBT NOT OF HIS TEMPERANCE."

I DOUBT NOT OF HIS TEMPERANCE."

"OH, MY DEAR FATHER.

"RESTORATION, HANG THY MEDICINE ON MY LIPS

"AND LET THIS KISS

"REPAIR THOSE VIOLENT HARMS

WHICH MY 2 SISTERS HAVE IN THY REVERENCE MADE."

WELL, COME ON, MAN. COME ON, KISS ME.

WELL, COME ON, MAN. COME ON, KISS ME.

NOT THERE, MAN. HERE, HERE.

IT'S SHAKESPEARE.

IT'S SHAKESPEARE.

RIGHT.

NO, NO. PUSH OFF AGAIN.

NO, NO. PUSH OFF AGAIN.

THIS IS THE MOMENT WHEN THE KING AWAKES, YOU SEE.

YOU READY?

YOU READY?

THAT'S IT. COME ON.

THAT'S IT. COME ON.

"HOW FARES MY ROYAL LORD?

HOW DOES YOUR MAJESTY?"

"YOU DO ME WRONG TO TAKE ME OUT OF THE GRAVE.

"THOU ART A SOUL IN BLISS,

"BUT I AM BOUND UPON A WHEEL OF FIRE,

"THAT MINE OWN TEARS DO SCALD LIKE MOLTEN LEAD.

"THAT MINE OWN TEARS DO SCALD LIKE MOLTEN LEAD.

"OH, IT'S SO TRUE.

"PRAY DO NOT MOCK ME.

I AM A VERY FOOLISH, FOND OLD MAN."

I AM A VERY FOOLISH, FOND OLD MAN."

"AND TO DEAL PLAINLY..."

"AND TO DEAL PLAINLY..."

"I FEAR I'M NOT IN MY PERFECT MIND."

"I FEAR I'M NOT IN MY PERFECT MIND."

IS THAT THE END, YOUR MAJESTY?

OH, GOOD LORD, NO.

CORDELIA-- THAT'S THURLOW--DIES,

HANGED, AND THE SHOCK OF IT KILLS THE KING.

SO THEY ALL DIE.

IT'S A TRAGEDY.

VERY AFFECTING.

WELL, IT'S THE WAY I PLAY IT.

YOUR MAJESTY SEEMS MORE YOURSELF.

DO I?

YES, I DO.

YEAH, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN MYSELF,

EVEN WHEN I WAS ILL.

ONLY NOW I SEEM MYSELF.

AND THAT'S THE IMPORTANT THING.

AND THAT'S THE IMPORTANT THING.

I HAVE REMEMBERED HOW TO SEEM.

I HAVE REMEMBERED HOW TO SEEM.

WHAT, WHAT?

WHAT, WHAT?

WHAT DID YOUR MAJESTY SAY?

WHAT DID YOUR MAJESTY SAY?

WHAT? I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.

BESIDES, GREVILLE,

YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO ASK THE KING QUESTIONS.

YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT.

WHAT, WHAT?

WHAT, WHAT?

GET HIM READY.

LOOK AT HIS PISS. WE'RE BACK TO LEMONADE.

NO. IT'S STILL A BIT INKY.

THAT'S YESTERDAY'S. THIS IS TODAY'S.

HERE, PISS THE ELDER, PISS THE YOUNGER.

HA HA HA HA. HA HA HA HA.

GO ON! HYAH! HYAH! GO ON!

GO ON! HYAH! HYAH! GO ON!

THE MATTER BEFORE THIS HOUSE

IS A BILL TO PROVIDE FOR THE CARE

OF HIS MAJESTY'S ROYAL PERSON

AND FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE ROYAL AUTHORITY

DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF HIS MAJESTY'S ILLNESS.

HEAR, HEAR! HEAR, HEAR!

MR. SPEAKER,

WE ON THIS SIDE OF THE HOUSE

COUNT OURSELVES FORTUNATE THAT WE HAVE

IN THE PERSON OF THE PRINCE OF WALES

A YOUNG MAN OF SUCH CHARACTER AND APTITUDE.

[CHEERING]

[CHEERING]

WHAT NOW?

WHAT NOW?

AND SO, MR. SPEAKER,

I WOULD LIKE TO SET OUT

SOME MEASURES OF LONG OVERDUE REFORM,

AND, YES, I MAY BE BOLD TO SAY IT,

NECESSARY EXPENDITURE...

NECESSARY EXPENDITURE...

I'VE JUST BEEN WITH HIS MAJESTY AND HAVE HAD

2 HOURS UNINTERRUPTED CONVERSATION WITH HIM.

GOD, HE MEANS HE'S TALKING AGAIN.

NO, DAMN IT!

WELL, YES, BUT NOT 15 TO THE DOZEN,

AND NOT NONSENSE, EITHER.

HE'S ACTUALLY A DAMN CLEVER FELLOW.

HAD ME READING SHAKESPEARE.

HAVE YOU READKING LEAR? TRAGIC STORY.

OF COURSE! IF THAT FOOL OF A MESSENGER

HAD GOT MORE OF A MOVE ON,

CORDELIA WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN HANGED,

LEAR WOULDN'T HAVE DIED,

AND IT WOULD HAVE ENDED HAPPILY.

AS IT IS, IT'S SO DAMNED TRAGIC.

THE POINT IS, THE KING IS BETTER.

BETTER THAN HE WAS?

NO, BETTER. THE "WHAT, WHAT" IS BACK. COME.

NO ONE, MR. SPEAKER,

ENTERTAINS A HIGHER REGARD FOR HIS MAJESTY THAN I DO.

BUT WE CANNOT CLOSE OUR EYES TO THE FACT

THAT HIS MAJESTY HAS BEEN OVERTAKEN

BY A TERRIBLE AND I FEAR LONG-LASTING ILLNESS

THAT SEEMS IMMUNE TO ALL FORMS OF MEDICAL TREATMENT.

THAT SEEMS IMMUNE TO ALL FORMS OF MEDICAL TREATMENT.

I...

I...

WE'RE...

WE'RE VERY TOUCHED

BY THE CONCERN

SHOWN BY OUR MOST LOYAL SUBJECTS...

AND VERY--VERY HAPPY TO BE AMONGST YOU ALL AGAIN.

AND VERY--VERY HAPPY TO BE AMONGST YOU ALL AGAIN.

BE ASSURED THAT NOW THAT OUR STRENGTH HAS RETURNED,

WE WILL ONCE MORE

TAKE UP THE REIGNS OF GOVERNMENT.

Man: LONG LIVE THE KING!

HOW WAS THAT, LADS? NOT BAD, EH, WHAT, WHAT?

I'M HAPPY TO SEE MY FATHER HIS OLD SELF,

GOOD OR BAD,

I AM IN CONTROL OF THEM, SIR.

WHEN A MAN CAN CONTROL HIMSELF,

HIS SPIRITS ARE IMMATERIAL.

WHEN A MAN CANNOT CONTROL HIMSELF,

HE WOULD DO WELL TO BE SOBER!

AHEM! HOW WOULD DO WELL--

AHEM! HOW WOULD DO WELL--

MARRIED, SIR?

IF YOU HAVE A COUGH, SIR, TAKE IT OUTSIDE!

PUT HER AWAY, SIR.

YOUR DEBTS WILL BE PAID,

AND YOU WILL HAVE AN INCOME

THAT IS APPROPRIATE.

THAT IS APPROPRIATE.

IS IT ANY WONDER A MAN GOES MAD?

DOCTORS! 30 GUINEAS A VISIT

AND TRAVELING EXPENSES,

FOR 6 MONTHS OF TORTURE.

THEY WOULD HAVE A MAN PAY FOR HIS OWN EXECUTION,

WHAT, WHAT?

WHAT, WHAT?

HOW MUCH IS HE GETTING?

AN ANNUITY.

I DID WHAT I COULD, CAPTAIN FITZROY.

COLONELFITZROY.

COLONELFITZROY.

DID YOU NOT KNOW THAT?

IT SEEMS UNFAIR, I AGREE,

BUT A WORD OF ADVICE.

TO BE KIND DOES NOT COMMEND YOU TO KINGS.

THEY SEE IT AS THEY SEE ANY FLOW OF FEELING,

AS A LIBERTY.

A BLIND EYE WILL SERVE YOU BETTER,

AND YOU WILL TRAVEL FURTHER.

AND YOU WILL TRAVEL FURTHER.

ELIZABETH.

ELIZABETH.

HIS MAJESTY HAS YET TO RETIRE, MR. GREVILLE.

YOUR MAJESTY, I SHALL BE IN THE CATHEDRAL,

SHOULD THE CEREMONY PROVE TO BE TOO MUCH OF A BURDEN.

YOU MAY TELL DR. WILLIS

THAT THE CEREMONY WILL NOT BE SUCH A BURDEN

AS THE WANT OF CEREMONY HAS BEEN.

AND DO NOT LOOK AT ME, SIR.

PRESUME NOT THAT I AM THE THING I WAS.

I'M NOT THE PATIENT. BE OFF WITH YOU.

BACK TO YOUR SHEEP AND YOUR PIGS.

THE KING IS HIMSELF AGAIN.
