: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?
:25:03
- I'll be damned.
- I can't believe it.
:25:06
- The leg?
- I haven't the faintest idea.
:25:09
That goes to prove
there's a first time for everything.
:25:12
Got a terrific laugh, anyway.
:25:21
Simone!
