Victoria Flashcards
Now. Let’s see what all this fuss is about.
Our paths have crossed before have they not?
ADA: Yes, Ma’m. At court. Ada, Countess of Lovelace.
Dreadfully tiresome business all that prancing around, isn’t it Lovelace?
ADA: Indeed.
Still. Comes with the territory.
AMA: And she’s got a lot of territory.
And I’ve got a lot of territory.
AMA: Wow.
So this engine of yours. What can it do?
ADA: Well, as I believe the Prime Minister has explained to you-
My dear, I’m not sure that one’s capable of explaining anything very much.
Rather too fond of his own voice to pay much attention to content.
Or the sanity of the poor recipient.
A very odd man I’ve always thought.
They often are aren’t they, politicians?
Born without all the necessaries, one feels.
PEEL: Erm-
A Prime Minister should always feel useful above all else, don’t you think?
Otherwise I’m not sure I see the point of them.
Quite capable of doing the whole bloody lot myself.
Cut out the middle man.
Except Wellers here, of course.
He was always a very useful PM. Got things done, didn’t you, Wellers?
DUKE W: I like to think so Ma’am.
Liked it so much he did it twice.
DUKE W: Indeed.
Got shot of… what was it?
DUKE W: Napoleon Bonaparte, ma’am.
No! All those bloody pigeons in the roof of the palace.
