:23:07
And what do you think?
She turned out to be a man!
:23:11
It's true! It's quite true!
:23:13
Your Highness, you really must
let me give you a party.
:23:17
I can positively guarantee
it'll be a party to end all parties.
:23:20
I'm sure it will.
:23:21
Perhaps Her Highness
has other plans.
:23:23
On the contrary. Sounds like fun.
Will you include Sir Charles?
:23:28
No. Charles is
having a fling in Capri.
:23:31
He has his own parties.
:23:32
Yes, I've read about
some of his parties.
:23:35
They're wonderful.
We call him the juggler.
:23:37
I've never really known
a man like him.
:23:39
He can keep ten girls in the air
at once and make each one happy.
:23:43
Amazing. Sort of
a contemporary Don Juan.
:23:46
- That's it.
- But there's a difference.
:23:48
Sir Charles' predecessor was forced
to climb balconies and fight duels,
:23:52
and, as I understand it,
keep his women separate.
:23:55
Charles, on the other hand,
drives a Ferrari,
:23:58
enters with a key,
and resorts to collective bargaining.
:24:02
But they both have
something in common.
:24:04
- What's that, Your Highness?
- Maybe it's best forgotten.
:24:08
Don't be silly.
Charles doesn't mind.
:24:10
Everyone takes a potshot
at Charles sooner or later.
:24:12
Go ahead, ma'am, shoot.
:24:13
It seems to me
any middle-aged bachelor
:24:17
who has never desired
the basic rewards of wife and family
:24:20
and finds it necessary to occupy
the major portion of his life
:24:24
making one conquest after another
:24:26
is trying to prove something
he can never possibly prove.
:24:29
- And what's that?
- That he's a man.
:24:31
You're joking!
:24:33
It's somewhat complicated,
but basically sound.
:24:36
- Well, Charles?
- Not very original.
:24:39
That theory has become
rather a tired Freudian cliché.
:24:42
- But true.
- I've never been on the couch.
:24:45
Not true.
That's part of your problem.
:24:49
How refreshing to find royalty
possessed of such a perceptive wit.
:24:53
Charles, you going
to take that lying down?
:24:55
Yes, as a matter of fact.
:24:57
My leg is hurting rather badly.
May I be excused?
