:03:05
And the Perrier-Jouet
should be chilled.

:03:07
-You understand? Chilled.
-Yes, sir.

:03:08
Leopold!
:03:09
Leopold, where have you been?
:03:12
Leopold!
:03:13
Otis, I demand explication!
:03:15
It’s half past 5:00!
He’s not even dressed!

:03:18
He’ll be ready, my lord.
I assure you.

:03:19
I don’t want him ready.
I want him resplendent!

:03:22
Ah, Miss Blaine.
:03:25
You dance like a...
:03:26
like a herd of cattle.
:03:29
You are a rare woman
:03:31
who lights up a room
simply by leaving it.

:03:34
Might you be rich,
Miss Blaine?

:03:36
You see, whilst I
am the third Duke

:03:38
the little secret of those
of us in the Royal Court--

:03:41
apart from our
general uselessness--

:03:44
is our massive
indebtedness.

:03:45
It’s always been
your misfortune, Leopold

:03:48
that you so thoroughly
amuse yourself

:03:50
with the sound
of your own voice.

:03:52
In a life as stagnant as mine
:03:54
that I can amuse myself at all
:03:56
is an evolutionary marvel.
:04:01
Hmm.
:04:03
Please don’t touch that.
:04:04
The device you were
jabbering about.

:04:07
To take priests
to the bell tower.

:04:09
To take anyone, Uncle, to
the floor they so desire.

:04:12
Buildings continue to climb.
:04:13
Soon they will outstrip
the stamina of our legs.

:04:16
You speak of progress
and invention.

:04:19
Yet what I offer you downstairs
is reality.

:04:21
Take a wife. Marry.
:04:24
Marriage...
:04:25
marriage is the promise
of eternal love.

:04:28
As a man of honor, I can
not promise eternally

:04:30
what I have never
felt momentarily.

:04:32
Born into privilege,
yet perversely ashamed of it.

:04:36
That is your tragedy.
:04:37
My God! If my brother
:04:38
could only see you,
he’d be heartbroken.

:04:40
You are no duke!
:04:41
Of course I’m not.
:04:42
The monarchy is dead, Uncle.
:04:44
We are relics.
That is reality.

:04:46
The new Royals are men
of accomplishment.

:04:48
Men like Roebling,
with his bridge

:04:49
Edison, with his lamp
:04:51
Diesel, Bell, Westinghouse...
:04:53
Those men made themselves
from nothing!

:04:55
You, on the other hand,
were born with everything

:04:59
and from it,
fashioned nothing.
