:47:00
Father,
:47:01
will you make
it snow, please?

:47:04
Even for you,
I cannot.

:47:06
But I've seen photographs
of such phenomenon.

:47:09
Blankets of it.
Up to here.

:47:14
Louis, smoke?
:47:16
Me? Jolly good!
:47:19
No. No!
:47:21
But, Mother,
he's the king.

:47:23
And father smoked, too.
:47:25
Yes, but
your father was a man

:47:27
who had already achieved
his full height.

:47:29
I have been smoking
since age 6.

:47:32
And some believe me
to be a giant among men.

:47:35
Yes, in intelligence
:47:38
as well as stature,
Your Majesty.

:47:40
Which is why, Louis,
:47:41
I'm sure His Majesty
was only teasing.

:47:44
I believe now is good time
for all children

:47:47
to spread amazing concept
of snow to cool off court.

:47:51
Yes?
:47:52
Children: Yes!
:47:58
I simply meant
to open conversation

:48:00
in controversial fashion
Mem is so fond of.

:48:07
I do have my opinions,
Your Majesty,

:48:09
but they're merely that.
:48:10
I wish to compliment you
for enlightening children

:48:13
to open minds and taste life.
:48:17
However, at this time,
:48:20
I shall not
offer cigar to your son,

:48:22
and you shall not teach
this book to mine.

:48:31
Chulalongkorn
has many questions,

:48:34
but one cannot plow new fields
in Siam overnight.

:48:38
I understand,
Your Majesty.
