PRINCE RICHARD OUT THERE

OUT THERE FROM PRINCE TO IMPASSIONED WRITER

HER MAJESTY

Yes.

Yes, I understand.

Yes, I could be there...

I could be there in two hours.

Yes.

Of course. Anything?

Of course.

Yes, I'll head over there right away.

It was released this morning.

It doesn't say anything scandalous after all.

But I'm in it, aren't I?

You are.

Did he spend a chapter on me?

Two?

- A sentence. - A sentence?

Well, there are two, really. May I?

"In my youth,

I had a very special relationship with Princess Pilar of Spain."

"Out of discretion and respect for her institutional importance,

I won't go into details,

but I will say that she is the protagonist of my teenage memories."

Well, that's tacky.

But tacky has always been good for the royals.

He could have said more.

Fortunately, he didn't.

Should I send him my thanks?

That's not necessary.

He's coming to Madrid to promote the book.

Pilar, something is going right for us for once.

Let's not ruin it.

My schedule is open. I can go.

Your schedule is open, but mine isn't.

What do you have?

A personal matter.

More personal than what Richard could have said about me?

It's my mother.

A health issue.

Is it serious?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

Don't go to the event.

- You know I'll find out. - Stay with her as long as you need.

I'll be back tomorrow.

If you do go, don't do anything weird.

You told me not to go.

But I know that you're going to do as you please.

Guillermo, it's like you don't know me.

That's why I say it. Because I do know you.

Take care of your mother.

Did you ever have a moment of doubt?

Did you ever think, "I shouldn't have left?"

No, on the contrary. I thought, "Why didn't I leave earlier?"

No, but seriously. I thought a lot before taking that step.

I was aware that all eyes were on me.

And I had been thinking about quitting for years,

and when I was sure, I told my dad.

And how did the King of England react?

He said "next," and my younger brother appeared.

Nazaret?

I hope you like it.

- Hi. - Hello.

It's for Pilar. But you don't have to put that.

Why not?

Because she's waiting in the parking lot.

- Hello. - Hi.

Richi, when you were Prince, you were never this late.

When you're a writer, you have to be considerate of your readers.

The way I am with my subjects.

You call them subjects?

Two kisses, right?

- In England, we shake hands. - But here it's two kisses.

Why didn't you say you were coming?

- I didn't have to. Here you are. - Yes.

Or you didn't want to see me.

You're the one who's mad at me.

I'm not mad at you.

I was mad a long time ago because you acted like a jerk.

But I'm not mad anymore.

Stopping being Prince is easy compared to stopping being...

- A jerk. - ...a jerk.

A jerk.

You speak very well. It's obvious you've written a book.

- Have you read it? - No.

Not all of it yet.

- You only read your part, didn't you? - Yes.

And I thought it was tacky and a little short.

- You're here to throw it in my face? - Yes.

And also to see if you'd have a drink with me.

I have a dinner with my editors.

- Would you like to come? - No, too boring. No.

They're very nice.

They're taking me for the best Spanish omelette in Madrid.

They're misleading you.

The best omelette in Madrid is at a market that's closed right now.

Well, one of the best.

Look, no, come here. You should ditch them.

- Pili, they're my editors. - "Pili."

That accent really... I don't know if I love it or hate it.

- Pili. - I hate it. That clarifies it.

You want to try speaking English? That'll give us a laugh.

"Richi"...

- Let's go to Vespino. Like old times. - I don't want to go out.

I was in Rome yesterday. In Berlin on Monday.

I have to be up early tomorrow to go to New York.

They're making a documentary series about me.

You were going to eat omelettes with them. Why not have a drink with me?

- Is Vespino even still around? - I don't know.

The last time I went there was with you.

- So... - It's about time to go back, isn't it?

Are you allowed to?

Of course!

- They still don't know, right? - They still don't.

- Do you not want to go out together? - Of course I want to.

Show it, then, Richi!

- I've been taught not to let things show. - Me too.

And here I am in a parking lot waiting for you.

Get rid of your people, and I'll get rid of mine, okay?

- What is it, Your Royal Highness? - Let's see what we can do about tonight.

- I assumed we're going back to the palace. - Me too.

But did you see how quickly I convinced him?

- Nothing's prepared. - There's no need. Nothing specific.

- Does Guillermo know? - Well, no.

But I'll take care of him. Why are you so scared of him?

Because he's scary.

You wouldn't say no to my father.

You would make it easy for him to go out on the town.

Do we need to empty out a restaurant or a club?

No, nothing like that. Just the opposite.

I want to go unnoticed, just like any other Spaniard.

Protocol for the city center is ten agents and a helicopter.

No, no helicopter.

That's a production.

I don't want it to look like you're watching us.

Imagine being out with someone while a helicopter follows you.

- You can't. - No.

I'll tell you. It kills the mood. You end up going home alone. No.

No helicopter, but no fewer than ten agents.

- Four. With four... - Not a chance. Eight.

- Five. - Real Madrid players get five.

Six then, but far away.

- How far? - So it looks like there are only four.

- This isn't protocol. - I know it's not protocol.

We're not following it today. This is a special night.

- How's your father? - He's good. He's excited to come back.

- Is he really coming back? - Of course.

But you're taking his place.

Sure, but I think he'll be back for Christmas.

This is temporary.

- You wanted to stop being a princess. - True.

And you copied that idea.

What about this?

How is it?

Very nice. And this?

Very nice, but you don't need to disguise yourself.

No one will recognize you.

I may not be as famous as you, but with the book...

Yes. Sure!

In Spain, people who write books can't go out on the streets.

What?

It's perfect.

They do it to fuck with me.

I look awful.

The fun in this is looking awful.

Come on. Let's go.

It's not called Vespino anymore.

Doesn't matter. We didn't come for the name.

Now it's a Latin music club.

We didn't come for the music either.

Your Royal Highness, if you want, we can get you in right away.

No, we're doing things Richard-style.

- I don't like waiting in line. - Fuck off. You shouldn't have quit then.

Hey, seriously. One question.

Why do you talk so little about me in your book?

Isn't it a relief?

For my reputation, yes, but it's shitty for my self-esteem.

I didn't write the book.

What?

Someone else wrote it. Then they put my name on it.

Hi.

It's 20 euros, including one drink each.

- Do you have cash? - No.

So you don't have cash either.

Four more, but no drinks.

All entries come with a drink, babe.

They didn't even ask me if I wanted to write it.

The publisher had already decided that a writer would do it.

But you had to have talked to him about what you wanted him to write.

Sure, I spoke with him a few times,

but he got almost everything from magazines.

That's why the sentence about you...

In England, we would say "cheesy."

The whole book is pretty cheesy.

It's tacky.

If you had written it, would you have written about why we broke up?

Yes, but only to sell more books.

Not in Spain. You would've been censored.

You'd be happy because you'd be in it more.

- I would. - Right?

A whole chapter?

Two?

Much more.

Wow.

- Shit, Vespino sure has changed. - Yeah.

What?

- Shall we dance? - Yes.

- No, I'm not... I don't dance. - Yes!

Richard, yes! You dance.

- I can't dance. - Please. Yes! Come on.

- I'm English. - So what? You can dance. Come on.

Follow me! Follow me!

Down! Up!

That's it!

To the side!

Back and forward!

- Come on. - Sure.

Back and forward!

Nice!

I think we're doing pretty well!

- Put those hands in the air! - Beautiful.

That's it! I like that!

Let's go!

Was it here?

I remembered it differently.

It's was here. But it was different.

You kissed me first.

I always kissed you.

Because you were so standoffish.

I wasn't that standoffish for a prince.

You didn't even tell me you were coming. You're still standoffish.

But now you go wherever you want, with whoever you want, right?

I got very lucky with you.

Yeah, bad luck.

At first, we were very lucky.

It's unusual for a prince and a princess to actually like each other.

Usually we fall for a commoner, and then they set you up

with the daughter of a count or a duke.

True. They tried everything with me to no avail.

They didn't force us to be together.

We wanted to be together.

Now, my brother Oliver...

- Remember Oliver? - Sure.

He'll be King and have all the pressure on him

to marry some member of royalty.

The problem your brother Oliver has

isn't that they want want to set him up with an aristocrat,

it's that it'll be a woman and not a man.

- Super gay! He's super gay! - Super gay?

Yes! I'm royalty, and he's never flirted with me.

Pili, so if someone doesn't flirt with you, he's gay?

Listen to me, Richi. I swear I know what I'm talking about.

And it wouldn't matter if he were.

Why wouldn't it matter?

He would be the first European monarch to come out.

It would be a huge deal.

It's her. It is.

They're going to spot us.

Not "us." They recognized me.

- We'd better go. - Are you hungry?

Of course. It's your fault I haven't had dinner.

Didn't you want to try the best Spanish omelette?

You told me it wasn't the best.

- Well, we're going to try the best. - Now?

Now is when a Spanish omelette tastes the best.

Yes?

Okay.

We'll be right there.

No, thank you.

Carmen.

Get up. We have to open the bar.

Why?

Not "why," Carmen. "Who."

It's the best Spanish omelette in Madrid.

And some say it's the best in all of Spain.

They only make two per day,

and they sell them piece by piece.

You can't order ahead.

So the omelettes literally last for five minutes.

The first one comes out at 11:00 a.m.,

and the second one at 5:00 p.m.

They could make more.

Or they could tell someone how they make it taste so good.

Or they could sell the recipe if it exists.

But for 40 years, they haven't done any of that.

That's why it's so special.

They've made three today.

You can't do this anymore.

Wake up two elderly people in the middle of the night

to make me an omelette?

You must surely miss some of the privileges, Richi.

I still travel first class. I don't stay in bad hotels.

You're not going to your hotel tonight.

Where are we going?

Do you want to go to the Prado Museum? I can ask them to open it for us.

Or even better.

- We'll go see my properties. - I don't understand.

You'll see. You'll like it.

This is a lot.

Do they want some?

I was going to finish it. And then puke later.

No, I don't do that anymore.

Take it if you want.

Want some omelette?

Thanks.

When I heard you were stepping down, I thought about calling you.

So why didn't you call?

I didn't know what to say.

You hadn't called me either in all those years.

Not even when you broke up with me.

I didn't break up with you.

Richard, it wasn't me. I wasn't ready for that.

I wasn't ready for anything.

We were young. They were making decisions for us.

You decided not to come see me.

You got scared. I get it. I don't blame you.

I was terrified myself.

Of course I got scared.

Maybe you don't know what happened. Do you?

It's not that. Don't worry.

There's no little English prince around here.

I wanted to be with you, Pili.

So why weren't you then?

Why did we not continue to see each other?

If I say something bad about your father, will you get mad like always?

What does my dad have to do with it?

If the King of Spain tells you to go away,

you go away.

I think that's when I started thinking about getting away from all of it.

If you go somewhere with me, I will leave you alone.

I don't want you to leave me alone.

Then come on.

Why are we here?

It's my father's apartment.

- Good evening, Your Royal Highness. - Turn off the microphones.

Look. My dad gives one of these lighters to each lover he brings here.

Maybe I can continue the family tradition.

Pili, I don't want to be just your lover.

You're not leaving one royal household just to join another.

I'm thinking you should step down.

They can't force you to be Queen.

Is your life better now?

You publish a book, but you didn't write it.

Your job is telling your secrets on TV, so people will pay attention to you.

Richi, you're going to last only as long as their curiosity.

You can't always be talking about when you used to be a prince.

I have to earn a living.

Me too.

I was raised to be Queen.

I don't know how to do anything else.

And apparently, they don't expect me to do it very well.

You can leave whenever you want.

No, I can't leave now.

Your father wants you to stay?

No, he doesn't.

That's why I have to stay.

Richard, you're choking me! You're...

You're really hurting me! Stop! Please!

Stop!

Okay, they're not listening.

Her dad used to do the choking stuff too, right?

Dear God.

You scared me!

I know what you're gonna say.

But I think when I tell you everything, you'll understand.

My mother passed away last night.

Guillermo, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.

Why are you here?

I wanted to tell you in person.

Go home.

Come back when you see fit, or when you need to.

That's what I wanted to tell you.

I won't be coming back.
