Mummy, enough is enough.
You will drop this Munshi business forthwith.
Do you hear me?
Did you really think the...
...the household would countenance such an insult?
I will not be disobeyed.
No. No.
I have put up with you for over 50 years!
You will drop this forthwith, or...?
- Or, or, or, or, Bertie? - Or
we will have you certified insane!
And removed from office immediately.
Here are the papers signed by Dr. Reid.
I am 81 years of age.
I've had nine children and 42 grandchildren,
and have almost a billion citizens.
I have rheumatism,
a collapsed uterus,
I'm morbidly obese and deaf in one ear.
I have known 11 prime ministers
and passed 2,347 pieces of legislation.
I've been in office 62 years, 234 days.
Thus, I am the longest-serving monarch in world history.
I'm responsible for five households
and a staff of over 3,000.
I am cantankerous,
boring, greedy, fat, ill-tempered,
at times selfish and myopic,
both metaphorically and literally.
I am perhaps disagreeably attached to power
and should not have smashed the emperor of Russia's egg.
But I am anything but insane.
If the household wish to disobey me, so be it.
Let them do it to my face.
I will see everyone in the durbar room at once.
