:24:08
It was a clever strategy, Capt. Thorpe,
to sound the surrender.
:24:11
Thank you.
Perhaps one of the secrets of victory...
:24:14
is making your enemy anticipate defeat,
don't you agree?
:24:17
- More wine, Your Excellency?
- No, thank you.
:24:19
I must compliment you
on your wine, Captain.
:24:21
Nowhere have I tasted better.
:24:23
There is no better wine
than good Madeira, Captain.
:24:26
Cross, just where did we pick this up?
:24:28
- From the galleon off Veracruz, Captain.
- No, it wasn't.
:24:31
It was out of the governor's cellar
at Cartagena.
:24:34
No, Cartagena's the place we had
all the Portuguese cheeses, remember?
:24:37
But there's no cheese like Cheshire,
is there, Mr. Pitt?
:24:40
No place like England for anything, I think.
:24:43
I was just thinking to myself,
Miss Latham...
:24:45
weren't you a bit Ionesome
in a heathen country like Spain?
:24:49
Spain is an old country
with a very rich culture, Mr. Pitt.
:24:52
In fact, there is much in Spain
that we English could profit by.
:24:55
Thank you, madam.
:24:56
We're certainly doing the best we can.
:25:00
I have also been admiring
your table silver, Captain.
:25:03
No doubt another
of the Captain's acquisitions.
:25:06
No doubt. Perhaps if Your Excellency
will examine the design...
:25:09
you'll recognize the coat of arms
of the Spanish Viceroy of San Domingo.
:25:14
San Domingo? How interesting.
:25:19
I should like to propose
that we drink to the health of...
:25:22
I do not drink with thieves and pirates.
:25:24
The health I was about to propose
was to Her Majesty, the Queen of England.
:25:30
Mr. Pitt,
obviously Doña Maria has no wine.
:25:40
- To Her Majesty the Queen.
- To the Queen.
:25:43
"Build a fleet. Build a fleet."
:25:46
Always the same advice.
:25:47
As if I didn't have enough demands
on my treasury.
:25:50
If my Lord Admiral is so intent
on building a fleet...
:25:53
perhaps he will also advise me
where to get the money to pay for it.
:25:56
Your pardon,
but may I remind Your Grace...
:25:58
that our privateers
have made substantial contributions...
