:24:09
I'm almost ready
to give you my support.

:24:12
Now? We don't need you now.
:24:15
I think you do.
:24:19
Your boy's married.
:24:20
She's just his mistress.
:24:30
I haven't told Mr Pitt...
:24:33
Yet.
:24:35
What is it you want?
:24:37
The good of the country.
:24:42
To remain as Lord Chancellor.
:24:45
Well, I'm sure
that can be arranged,

:24:48
when, and if, we ever manage
to get our hands on government.

:24:53
The bill is ready, sir.
:24:55
I'm a snail, Lord Chancellor,
creeping towards the throne.

:25:00

becoming impatient.

:25:03

Be kind.

:25:22
Rely on your oars, sir.
The tide is with you.

:25:26
The tide?
:25:28
Rely on my oars?
:25:31
George!
:25:32
Your Royal Highness
has but to wait.

:25:35
Wait?
:25:37
Ha. Wait.
:25:38
Lord Chancellor,
my life has been waiting.

:25:43
I endeavour
to cultivate languor,

:25:46
but it is difficult
to be languid

:25:48
when the throne of England
is pending.

:25:51
People laugh at me.
:25:54

to be taken seriously?

:25:58
I tell you, sir,
