1
00:01:16,993 – > 00:01:20,788
Time, it has been proposed,
Is the 4th dimension.
2
00:01:22,665 – > 00:01:28,087
And yet, for mortal man,
Time has no dimension at all.
3
00:01:28,171 – > 00:01:33,133
We’re like horses with blinders,
Seeing only what lies before us.
4
00:01:34,219 – > 00:01:40,516
Forever guessing the future
And fabricating the past.
5
00:01:42,894 – > 00:01:45,813
Brilliant.
-Quite right, your Grace.
6
00:01:46,022 – > 00:01:50,359
How, you ask, can we lift these
Shackles and live not
7
00:01:50,401 – > 00:01:56,490
In the moment but in the
Glorious expanse of time’s continuum?
8
00:01:58,660 – > 00:02:04,414
Listen and I shall tell you.
The secret lies in the enduring
9
00:02:04,457 – > 00:02:08,001
Power of our achievements,
Our creations!
10
00:02:12,799 – > 00:02:18,137
As the pyramids testify to the Egyptians,
So my glorious erection
11
00:02:18,513 – > 00:02:22,641
Shall represent our culture
In perpetuity.
12
00:02:23,518 – > 00:02:28,856
Behold rising before you,
The greatest erection on the continent.
13
00:02:29,149 – > 00:02:32,359
The greatest erection of the age!
14
00:02:34,112 – > 00:02:37,114
The greatest erection on the planet!
15
00:02:44,247 – > 00:02:47,332
Hold this.
16
00:02:54,048 – > 00:02:58,051
For the Herald, your Grace.
I understand you’re making
17
00:02:58,094 – > 00:03:01,430
An important announcement tonight.
18
00:03:04,392 – > 00:03:07,811
/>
Good afternoon, ladies.
Excuse me, please.
19
00:03:27,624 – > 00:03:32,294
And the Perrier Jouet should
Be chilled. you understand?
20
00:03:32,754 – > 00:03:37,507
Leopold! Where have you been?
Otis, I demand explication!
21
00:03:37,550 – > 00:03:42,012
It’s half past 5! He’s not even dressed!
-He’ll be ready, my Lord. I assure you.
22
00:03:42,055 – > 00:03:46,016
I don’t want him ready.
I want him resplendent!
23
00:03:46,476 – > 00:03:50,979
Ah, Miss Blaine.
You dance like a herd of cattle.
24
00:03:53,107 – > 00:03:58,403
You are a rare woman. Who lights up
A room simply by leaving it.
25
00:03:59,155 – > 00:04:03,659
Might you be rich, Miss Blaine?
You see, while I am the 3rd Duke,
26
00:04:03,743 – > 00:04:08,080
The little secret of those of us in
The royal court, aside from our general
27
00:04:08,164 – > 00:04:12,251
Uselessness, is our massive indebtedness.
-It’s always been your misfortune,
28
00:04:12,377 – > 00:04:16,838
That you so thoroughly amuse yourself
With the sound of your voice.
29
00:04:17,006 – > 00:04:22,094
In a life as mine that I can amuse
Myself at all is an evolutionary marvel.
30
00:04:29,102 – > 00:04:32,938
Please don’t touch that.
-The device you were jabbering about.
31
00:04:33,147 – > 00:04:37,484
To take priests to the bell tower.
-To take anyone to the floor they so
32
00:04:37,652 – > 00:04:41,989
Desire. Buildings continue to climb. Soon
They’ll outstrip the stamina of our legs.
33
00:04:42,115 – > 00:04:46,285
You speak of progress and invention.
Yet what I offer you downstairs
34
00:04:46,494 – > 00:04:49,955
Is reality.
Take a wife. Marry.
35
00:04:50,415 – > 00:04:54,710
Marriage.
Marriage is the promise of eternal love.
36
00:04:54,877 – > 00:04:59,798
I cannot promise eternally
What I have never felt momentarily.
37
00:04:59,841 – > 00:05:04,303
