1:02:03
You have a remarkable
family, King Mongkut.
1:02:07
A remarkably...large one.
1:02:10
Hardly seems fair.
1:02:12
All these women
for one man.
1:02:14
Makes me wish I were
Siamese myself. Ha.
1:02:20
Mycroft Kincaid of
East lndia Trading Company,
1:02:24
correct?
1:02:26
Guilty as charged,
Your Majesty.
1:02:28
Mr. Kincaid's company
is merely one of the ways
1:02:32
we try to foster
economic relations
1:02:35
with other countries,
Your Majesty.
1:02:37
Also, I think, to arrive
at forefront of world
1:02:40
in wealth and power, yes?
1:02:46
Still, progress
through commerce is logic.
1:02:51
King find most practical
1:02:54
and excellent topic
for discussion.
1:02:57
All due respect,
Your Majesty.
1:03:00
It is a little
far-fetched to think
1:03:01
that commerce alone will bring
progress to your people.
1:03:05
Especially when they're
awash with, uh, superstition
1:03:08
and fear, like your
lovely concubines here
1:03:11
with their talismans,
worn, no doubt,
1:03:13
to protect them from us
foreign devils.
1:03:26
A friend once said,
Mr. Kincaid,
1:03:31
English also have
fantastical beliefs.
1:03:34
Or am I mistaking
your country
1:03:37
for being land
of Merlin and Camelot?
1:03:41
Ah. Point taken,
Your Majesty.
1:03:44
However, there's no arguing
the superiority of the English.
1:03:49
And in the light of
these dreadful massacres
1:03:52
up and down your border,
1:03:54
it's no wonder
you're seeking our favor.
1:03:57
Superiority,
Mr. Kincaid?
