:04:01
Do not be fat, sir. Fight it!
:04:03
Now who's got
that blasted speech?
:04:05
Stop! Who's got the speech?
:04:07
- Here, sire.
- Lord Chancellor.
:04:10
- Ready?
- Yes.
:04:12
Well, come on.
Let's get it over with.
:04:16
The king commands the members
of this honourable House
:04:19
to attend His Majesty
in the House of Peers.
:04:29
Do you enjoy all this flummery,
Mr Pitt?
:04:31
No, Mr Fox.
:04:33
Do you enjoy anything, Mr Pitt?
:04:36
A balance sheet, Mr Fox.
:04:38
I enjoy a good balance sheet.
:04:42
Whereas we, George III,
:04:45
in this year of our Lord 1788
:04:48
do open this Parliament,
:04:50
giving notice
that our will and pleasure
:04:53
is that the following bills
:04:55
shall be laid
before this House...
:04:57
A bill for the
regulation of trade
:05:00
with our possessions
in North America.
:05:02
Ahem.
:05:03
Our former possessions
in North America.
:05:05
A bill for...
:05:07
You see that the king did not
write his own speech, Mr Pitt.
:05:11
The king will do as he's told,
Mr Fox.
:05:14
Then why not be rid of him?
:05:17
If a few ramshackle colonists
in America
:05:20
can send him packing,
why can't we?
:05:22
Petitioners for the king!
:05:24
Petitions for the king!
:05:26
Present your petition!
:05:28
Open the gate!
:05:31
Stay with the line.
:05:33
Over there. Petitioners.
:05:55
The petitioners, Your Majesty.
:05:57
Oh. Yes.
