That would depend what I was offered.
:50:07
Don't say it just to please me.
:50:08
It's true. It would depend
what I was offered.

:50:13
Well, there is another post vacant.
:50:16
Collector of Revenues for York.
:50:19
Is it in your gift?
:50:20
Effectively.
:50:23
What must I do for it?
:50:27
I know a man
who wants to change his woman.

:50:32
Normally a matter of small importance,
but in this case...

:50:34
...it's our liege, Lord Henry,
the eighth of that name.

:50:38
Which is a quaint way of saying that
if he wants to change his woman, he will.

:50:42
And our job as administrators...
:50:45
...is to minimise the inconvenience
which this is going to cause.

:50:49
That's our only job, Rich,
to minimise the inconvenience of things.

:50:54
A harmless occupation
you would say, but no.

:50:57
We administrators are not liked, Rich.
:51:00
We are not popular.
:51:02
I say "we" on the assumption you'll accept
the post at York I've offered you.

:51:11
Yes.
:51:20
It's a bad sign when people are depressed
by their own good fortune.

:51:23
-I'm not depressed.
-You look depressed.

:51:25
I was lamenting. I've lost my innocence.
:51:27
Some time ago.
Have you only just noticed?

:51:32
Your friend, our present Lord Chancellor,
now there's an innocent man.

:51:38
The odd thing is, he is.
:51:40
Yes, I say he is. Unhappily...
:51:43
...his innocence is tangled up
in this problem...

:51:45
...that you can't change your woman
without a divorce...

:51:48
...and you can't get a divorce
unless the Pope says so.

:51:51
And from this meaningless circumstance,
I foresee a certain measure of....

:51:56
-lnconvenience?
-Just so.

:51:59
This goblet he gave you,
how much was it worth?
