A moment.

Will you forgive me.

KATE

Will you forgive me?

HENRY

Yes.

KATE

Yes.

HENRY

Yay.

They smile. They drink.

KATE

So you never expected to be king.

HENRY

I never wanted to be king.

KATE

Hmm. It must make you . . . lonely. Sometimes.

HENRY

Lonely?

KATE

I . . .

What you’ve given up. Having no . . . friends.

HENRY

Just wives. So have a bunch of them.

KATE

I’ll remember that.

HENRY

Well come on: your great string of husbands?

KATE

Three!

HENRY

There. See? Something in common.

KATE

You’ve had six!

HENRY

Sure, but . . . third-time lucky.

KATE

Oh.

HENRY

And you are lucky! I come from a civilized family / not

KATE

You / what?!

HENRY

not one of your bloody northerners.

KATE

Hey! There’s nothing wrong with northerners! And what are you? Part Welsh?!

HENRY

Dim ond y rhan ddoniol! [Only the funny part.]

KATE

What?

HENRY

It’ll lose in the translation.
