[Urquhart has a meeting with the King in the garden of his royal retreat] King: How much does Bullerby have? What could he publish? Urquhart: Everything the princess was able to tell him. A lot of it's hearsay, of course. But I'd say there's enough to bring down the Monarchy for good. King: Damn you man, is that what you want? Urquhart: No, sir. It is not what I want. And I think – I'm sure, in fact – I could persuade him to suppress the more sensitive items. King: The price being my silence and complicity, I suppose. Urquhart: You might see it in those terms. [Pause] King: All right, do your worst. Urquhart: I beg your pardon, sir? King: I don't think the people will want any more muckraking. I think the whole nation is sick to death of negative campaigning and dirty tricks. They want to be given hope, they want something positive. I want to show them that there is an alternative, and I shall. Urquhart: You have given your word, sir. King: I have given my word not to make any political speeches, and I shan't. But I shall make it very clear that I oppose you bitterly and everything you stand for. You think you are an honourable man. I don't think that anymore. I think you and your party are intellectually and morally bankrupt. It's time for you to go, and you know it. Urquhart: I shall like to formally request a dissolution of Parliament in preparation for a general election. King: Granted, Mr Urquhart. Urquhart: Why are you doing this? What could possibly be in it for you? [Pause] King: You really don't understand, do you? I do believe you're frightened of me, Mr. Urquhart. Urquhart: You believe that if it gives you any comfort, sir. [Urquhart bows, then walks away]
