Voice: She was the kind of ruler who believed in tradition. (Royal court. The Monarch sits on her throne.) Prince: But Mumsie, I love her! Monarch: You will marry your cousin and that is final! Voice: Her judgement was fair and impartial. (Judicial court. The Monarch sits on the bench, wearing a wig of white locks.) Monarch: Of what is the prisoner accused? Barrister: He is accused of accusing you of the murder of your daughter-in-law. Monarch: Off with his head! (She slams down the gavel.) Voice: Her struggle against the nosy paparazzi was well known. (A crowd of reporters huddle outside the gates of the royal palace.) Reporter #1: Can you see anything? Reporter #2: (peering through binoculars) Just that helicopter up there. Reporter #1: Helicopter? (An army helicopter descends on the group and mows it down with machine gun fire.) Voice: But her subjects loved her for the generous freedoms she bestowed upon them. (A birthday celebration. The Monarch opens an envelope and reads a card.) Monarch: (reading) You stink! Who wrote this? Speak up! (Silence.) All right then, no dessert for any of you! Guards! (Enter guards.) Show our guests to the door. This party is over. Voice: When you've done watching this movie, you'll never see your banknotes the same way again.
