10,000 pardons, your excellency.
It's quite unavoidable,
I assure you -
Ceremonies, affairs of state,
speeches, you know.
Oh.
His royal highness
prince florizel.
Is expected back at any moment.
His majesty begs that you will
overlook the slight delay.
Hmm.
I trust that you bring
pleasant tidings.
From your sovereign king
of irania?
His majesty the king of irania
has the gout.
Oh, the gout.
Well, how unfortunate.
I - If you'll excuse me,
your excellency.
Where is that dawdler geraldine?
Your majesty.
Well, where's the prince?
For 15 years, we've been
negotiating this marriage,
And now there's no prince.
You're responsible
for the arrangements.
Yes, sire. Where is he?
He - Where is he?
At 10:
30, his royal highnesswas to open the autumn bazaar.
At 11:
00, address the widows ofthe veterans of the war of 1837.
At 11:
30, dedicate two lifeboatsfor the life of his com-
That's what he's doing now.
It's exactly 11:
30.Go and fetch him.
Well, what are you
standing there for?
Yes, your majesty.
Oh, for the ambassador's party,
I presume.
Not for the ambassador's party?
Well, where is it going?
I'm not permitted to say,
colonel.
It's a secret.
Secret?
Balance yourself.
What's going on here?
Where's his royal highness?
What are you doing
with those poles?
Look here, gerry.
Ooh, I-I beg your pardon,
your highness.
You're just in time
to see me realize.
One of my greatest ambitions.
I've always wanted to try
one of these things.
Yes, I know.
All right, take the poles away.
Oh, no! For goodness sake,
don't -
This is very irregular
and inopportune.
I couldn't go to the carnival,
so the carnival came to me.
Do you want to try it?
Oh, no, no, thank you.
I'm better off - Now, this is
no time for dancing.
His majesty, your father,
Demands your presence
immediately.
He's been waiting
for over an hour.
Oh, well,
I guess the fun's all over.
Yes.
How do I get down
off this thing?
Yes, how does he get down?
Hey!
Oh! Oh!
Oh, now, see what you've done.
So, that's the way you get down!
Oh, I'm all right.
Well, you better all go now
and take your wire with you.
Thank you very much.
What is it this time?
The iranian ambassador.
Oh.
Last time I saw princess Brenda,
She had a horse bit
in her mouth, pigtails,
And lenses over her eyes.
Yes, but they say she has
an excellent mind.
The better to bore you with,
my dear.
In short, your majesty,
The court of irania
is unanimously enthusiastic.
For this proposed alliance.
But, uh...
But what, sir?
There is, unfortunately,
one exception.
Pray be good enough
to explain yourself, sir.
Princess Brenda.
The princess Brenda
is not enthusiastic?
I find it a very, uh, delicate
matter to explain, your majesty.
Perhaps I may be pardoned.
If I express her highness'
attitude in her own words.
They were as follows -
"I will never buy a pig
in a poke."
Merely a figure
of speech, of course.
And a very colorful one, too.
Proceed, baron.
And there for the present,
your majesty,
Very well.
We shall instruct our ambassador.
To continue
with the negotiations.
Pray do not inconvenience
yourself on my account, sir.
May we not say
that I have loved and lost.
You have our leave to retire.
Your majesty,
your royal highness.
Now, gentlemen, we have
no further need of you today.
Not you two.
Colonel geraldine,
you'll remain within call.
Me?
Oh, of course, your majesty.
I'd be delighted, I'm sure.
Delighted, I'm sure.
My boy...
The time has come.
I'm sorry.
No.
We are living in difficult days.
Republics are springing up
around us like mushrooms,
And your conduct is not
making it any easier for us.
I'm sorry, sir.
Yes, but not sorry enough,
confound it.
You are the crowned prince,
And the people expect
something more from you.
Than frivolity and extravagance.
And they're right. They should.
Remember our revolution
of three years ago.
When stafgar and the others
were killed.
Those revolutionists weren't
small - Dr. Noel, madam polar.
They escaped,
but they'll try it again.
Do you realize that less than
three months ago,
The secret service uncovered
a plot to kill you?
No, sir.
Well, it's true.
Some anarchistic young woman.
What happened to her?
She escaped, too.
Oh, I see.
Well, what do you want me
to do, sir?
Well, you are
the crowned prince.
And the crowned prince
should get married...
I've heard that, sir.
Whether he wants to or not.
Now we're really down to it.
We are, my boy.
And she is, of course?
Princess Brenda of irania.
Yes, sir?
Being the crowned prince,
you must one day rule carovia.
We cannot escape it.
That's all I have to say.
I wonder what carovia
would think, sir,
If you and I went out
and got drunk.
I wish we could.
I'm afraid I haven't
very much of an answer.
To what you just said.
I don't think there is one.
But I don't want you
to answer now.
It'll take at least a month.
For these negotiations
to be completed.
I want you to think it over.
I want you to think it over well
before you decide.
I will.
And thank you.
Oh, send colonel geraldine
to me, will you?
Yes, sir.
Hello, colonel geraldine.
I hope I'm not taking
too much for granted.
In presuming
that you're fond of my son.
Oh, no, your majesty.
I love his royal highness
very dearly.
I mean - Good.
I like him, too.
Don't mind saying it.
He's a fine boy.
Yes, your majesty.
You and I probably know him.
Better than anyone else,
don't we?
Yes, indeed, your majesty.
I want you to help me
with him now.
Of course, your majesty.
I - I don't mind saying
that I'd gladly - I'd -
I'd give my life
for his royal highness.
I know you would, gerry.
We couldn't have shown all the
patience we did in raising him.
Remember some of the things
he used to do?
Remember the time
that he hid your crown.
In the waste basket?
But, uh, he isn't a boy
any longer, gerry.
No, your majesty.
And I've just had to hurt him,
really, for the first time.
It's about
this marriage business.
Yes, your majesty.
And you can help him
where I can't.
He's had a hard blow.
But if I know anything
at all about him,
He'll come through it all right,
but he'll fight.
There's no knowing what
he may do in the next month.
So I want you
to take him away somewhere,
To london, but never let him
out of your sight.
Yes, your majesty.
I'll do my best, your majesty.
And understand this,
colonel geraldine.
If anything happens to him,
If one hair of his head
is harmed,
Or one line gets into
the newspapers about him,
No matter what he does,
I'll have your hide nailed
to the palace walls.
Is that clear?
Oh, uh, yes, your majesty.
Good.
Got a cigarette?
Oh, yes, yes, cigarette,
your majesty.
Oh, beg your pardon, sir.
That was an exciting moment.
Stupid fellow.
This is the dullest, most stupid
boat trip I have ever been on.
