:01:03
I must have
certain undertakings...

:01:07
authority over the patient,
:01:08
access to him at all times.
:01:11
You will reside here at Windsor,
:01:13
and Parliament
will have to be kept informed,

:01:16
so you will need
to write bulletins.

:01:19
They must be confident,
:01:20
optimistic.
:01:22
The survival of the government
depends upon it.

:01:28
And, Dr Willis,
:01:30
you are my doctor.
:01:33
Do you understand?
:01:35
I'm the king's doctor, sir.
:01:37
It is the same thing.
:01:47
In here, sir.
:01:54
Yes.
:01:56
Do you know, Mr Greville,
:01:58
the state of monarchy
and the state of lunacy

:02:01
share a frontier?
:02:05
Some of my lunatics
fancy themselves kings.

:02:09
He...
:02:12
is the king.
:02:16
Where shall his fancy
take refuge?

:02:19
We do not use the word lunatic,
sir, in relation to His Majesty.

:02:25
Oh.
:02:27
Well, who's to say
what's normal in a king? Hmm?

:02:31
Deferred to, agreed with,
acquiesced in.

:02:35
Who can flourish
:02:36
on such a daily diet
of compliance?

:02:44
To be curbed... stood up to...
:02:48
in a word, thwarted
:02:50
exercises the character,
:02:53
elasticates the spirit,
makes it more pliant.

:02:58
It's the want of such exercise
that makes rulers rigid.
