HARLEY: Marlborough's return back to England
is imminent. I wonder, Your Majesty,
1405
01:39:49,717 --> 01:39:52,284

is left as head of our forces?

You must stop it, Godolphin.

He is a hero
who won the peace for us.
1408
01:39:58,491 --> 01:40:00,693
Indeed, but he would have
launched us into a bloody war

so there's that.

GODOLPHIN:
Obviously, you have chosen
1417

to keep the particulars
of your dismissal from me.
1418
01:40:21,982 --> 01:40:23,716
I shall leave a gap
in the conversation

No, you may not.

in a dear friendship.
1428

Surely this could be healed.
