queen1台词

影片对白

Maid: Shall I draw the curtains？

Queen: Yes please. So, did you stay up all night?

Maid: Yes, Ma'am.

Queen: And was it as expected?

Maid: Yes, Ma'am. Mr. Blair. By a landslide.

Queen: Oh, I see.

Voiceover: They've stopped the traffic completely for Tony Blair's first day of power in London.

You got the ceremonial with tourists, the officials, and you got a lovely summer's day.

Tony Blair waving to the crowds, people waving to them there...I guess most of them do know it's the Prime Minister waiting lining in the streets there.

Robin: The Prime Minister is on his way, Ma'am.

Queen: To-be, Robin. The Prime-Minister-to-be. I haven't asked him yet. He's a hard one to read, isn't he?

Robin: Yes... On the one hand his background is quite establishment-- father a conservative, educated at Fettis, where he was tutored by the same man as the Prince of Wales.

Queen: Well, we'll try not to hold that against him.

Robin: On the other, his manifesto promises the most radical modernization and shake up of the constitution in 300 years.

Queen: Oh, is he gonna try to modernise us?

Robin: I wouldn't let it past him. He's married to a woman with known anti-monarchist sympathies. You may remember her curtsy the first time you met. It could best be described as…shallow.

Queen: I don't measure the depth of a curtsy, Robin. I leave that to my sister.

Robin: The atmosphere at Downing Street is expected to very informal. Everyone on first name terms at the Prime Minister's insistence.

Queen: What, as if "Call me Tony?"

Robin: Yes, Ma'am.

Queen: Oh, I don't like that. Could we send him a protocol sheet?

Tony Blair: Funny, I'm actually rather nervous.

Ms Blair: Why? You've met her often enough before.

Tony Blair: I know, but…never one to one...and never as Prime Minister.

Ms Blair: Well, just remember, you're a man that's just been elected by the whole nation.

Tony Blair: But she's still, you know, the Queen.
