• Baker : I sent over some senna. Was that given to him?

  Greville : Yes. The pain got worse.

  Baker : Whereabouts was the pain?

  Greville : Would it not be better to ask His Majesty that?

  Baker : How long have you been in waiting? I cannot address His Majesty until he addresses me! I cannot inquire after His Majesty's symptoms until he chooses to inform me of them.

  Greville : Sir George, whatever his situation, His Majesty is just a man.

  Baker : You're the King's equerry with radical notions like that? Good God! With any patient, I undertake a physical examination only as a last resort. It's an intolerable intrusion of a gentleman's privacy. With His Majesty, it's unthinkable!

• Greville : No, I... I cannot do it ma'am. Besides, if Her Majesty sees him, he-he-he-he still utters such improprieties.

  Lady Pembroke : About what?

  Greville : About... uh... about you madam.

  Lady Pembroke : Tell me.

  Greville : I cannot say.

  Lady Pembroke : What is it His Majesty dreams of doing, Mr.Greville, hmm? Is it this?

  Greville : Please madam.

  Lady Pembroke : This?

  Greville : Ooh!

  Lady Pembroke : Or this?

• Greville : We do not use the word lunatic, sir, in relation to His Majesty.

  Willis : Oh. Well, who's to say what's normal in a King? Hmm? Deferred to, agreed with, acquiesced in. Who can flourish on such a - daily diet of compliance?

• Greville : What are you doing?

  Fortnum : I'm going, sir. To Piccadilly, sir. To start a provision merchant's. It isn't much, sir, but it's a cut above emptying piss-pots.

• George III : You don't look at the King, Greville. Didn't they tell you?

  Greville : I forgot, sir.

  George III : Well, don't forget.
