ELIZABETH: hey, could you please not smoke? I really hate the smell. Also, my dad is dying of lung cancer and so it’s a pretty sensitive issue.

PHILIP: [lounging on a golden sofa] do I have to give up EVERYTHING for you? UGH.

[Philip lights eight more cigarettes]

 

PHILIP: I don’t understand why we can’t live at Clarence House. I want Clarence House, the other palace that belongs to your family but the one I got to decorate

ELIZABETH: I like it too, but I’m the queen now and the monarch has to live at Buckingham Palace

PHILIP: but whyyyyyyyyy

ELIZABETH: be–because I’m the Queen

PHILIP: [mumbles] queen of being a poophead

ELIZABETH: what?

PHILIP: nothing

PHILIP: be sure to tell the prime minister that we’re naming our kids, and our entire house and all of the kings forever after me

PHILIP: not THAT one. Obviously not THAT one. Mountbatten. The fake name I just took, from my seedy uncle, when I came here to marry you

PHILIP: all of the kings forever. house of Mountbatten.

ELIZABETH: I think I’m probably going to go with Windsor, you know, which has been the name of my family since Queen Victoria.
