:25:03
... president or city council...
:25:05
...the fact is people are tired of the way
it's been and want a change.
:25:10
How now, how now,
what say the citizens?
:25:14
Now, by the holy mother of our Lord,
the citizens are mum.
:25:18
I expected them to be boisterous,
and that they would come and rally.
:25:23
- Did they so?
- No...
:25:25
...so God help me,
they spake not a word.
:25:28
But, like dumb statues, stared each
other on, and look'd deadly pale.
:25:32
And did they so?
:25:34
No!
:25:36
What, are you deaf?
:25:38
I'm saying, whatever their reaction...
:25:40
...we had this plan.
- We still had it.
:25:43
SPACEY:
So they're being told...
:25:44
... that here, right before your eyes,
is the man who will make it better.
:25:49
And, see...
:25:51
...a book of prayer in his hand,
true ornaments...
:25:55
...to know a holy man.
:25:57
Irony is really only hypocrisy with style.
:26:01
Here again, we love
Richard's irony, in a way.
:26:05
We know he's as hard as nails,
that he's only pretending to be religious.
:26:10
PACINO: They canvass like politicians.
Complete with lies and innuendo...
:26:14
... they manage...
:26:16
... to malign this young prince,
who is the rightful heir to the throne.
:26:22
And they know it.
:26:24
Infer the bastardy of Edward's children.
:26:26
And they say he was a bastard...
:26:29
... that his father was a bastard.
:26:31
It's an act, and these people buy it.
It's a complete lie.
:26:35
SPACEY:
We heartily solicit you...
:26:37
...to take on the kingly government
of this your land...
:26:40
...not as protector, steward, substitute,
or lowly factor for another's gain.
:26:45
But as successively
from blood to blood...
:26:48
...your right of birth,
your empery, your own.
:26:56
Since you will buckle fortune
on my back...
