The Madness of King George - A Dispute Over Royal Property and Madness
Margaret Nicholson:
I have a property due to me from the Crown of England!
George III: [hands the blank petition to the soldier]
The poor creature's mad. No, no, no, no, no. Do not hurt her. She has not hurt me.
Margaret Nicholson:
Give me my property, or the country will be drenched in blood!
George III: [gently exposes the fruit knife; turns to Captain Greville]
Will it, indeed, madam? Well, not with this. It's a fruit knife. Wouldn't cut a cabbage. Ah. Who are you, sir?
Soldier:
Oh, this is Captain Greville, sir, the new equerry.
George III:
Well, you are undressed, sir. Do yourself up, sir. You're an equerry, not a scarecrow.
Margaret Nicholson:
I have a property due to me from the Crown of England.
Queen Charlotte:
You murderous fiend! Thank God I have you yet.
George III:
Do not fuss, madam. The King has no wound, just a torn waistcoat.
George IV:
One would consider that almost as vexing.
George III:
What was that?
George III:
I was rejoicing, sir, that you are unharmed.
Queen Charlotte:
The son rejoices. The Prince of Wales rejoices. Huh!
Prince Frederick:
Me, too, Pa. God save the King! And so on.
