- Do I have to?
- Every half hour, Mr. Gresham.
How long have you been
gurgling this brew?
Don't tell me you had the gout
when you were three months old.
- You are Mr. Gresham?
- Yeah.
- The big international banker?
- Not so loud.
We don't boast about
- We're all in the dog house.
- What do you do there?
Well, let it pass,
let it pass.
- What line are you in?
- Again, please?
- What do you do for a living?
- For a living? Oh, well, I...
Have you not seen me on
the postage stamps? I am the King.
You know, Anatol XII.
- Oh, Your Majesty...
- Don't get up, don't get up.
- How do you do.
- How do you do.
I admire your great country much,
Mr. Gresham.
My favorite character, he lives there.
- Who's that?
- Buffalo Bill.
I'm afraid he doesn't live there
anymore.
Well, we are here today,
Search me.
I'm a stranger in these parts.
I find always unbelievable,
Mr. Gresham,
that in your country
the peasants have the electric lights,
the telephone, the hot water.
Sure, Your Majesty.
Only we don't call them peasants there.
If only I could do that for my people.
The hot water.
Well, why don't you?
We are so poor, so very poor.
The electric lights...
Why don't you float a little loan?
I don't see why we couldn't arrange
a bond issue, if it weren't too big.
- You are serious?
- Well, why not?
You have plenty of
natural resources here
and what's more important,
you're an honest people.
That, yes.
It is almost a vice.
Well, it's a pretty good vice
as vices go.
- How much would Your Majesty need?
- 100 million tarondas.
How much is that in 59 cent dollars?
In figures that are round,
less or more...
- $5 million?
- What?
- Impossible. Out of the question.
- I was afraid so.
- How much do you think, perhaps?
- Not a penny less than 50 million.
- Tarondas?
- Dollars.
$50 million?
Why, I couldn't float anything smaller.
They wouldn't take it seriously.
- There's only one trouble.
- We need a front.
- A how?
A front, a showcase.
Someone to make America conscious
that your kingdom exists.
Why, don't they even know that?
Begging Your Majesty's pardon,
most of our people would probably think
it was a mythical kingdom.
- Sometimes I think so myself.
- We love pomp over there.
Uniforms, costumes,
plumes and palaces.
- We love crowns.
- They give me a headache.
You're the man to go to America.
You'd roll them in the aisles.
Of course, you couldn't get away
with anything like this.
I cannot go, anyway. If I went out
they might not let me in again.
They might have a new face
on the postage stamps.
- Is that a fact?
- It's no fun being a king anymore.
Isn't there anyone you could send
in your place?
(HORN HONKING)
Tony.
This is Mr. Gresham, my pet,
My daughter,
Catterina Theodora Margherita,
but we call her Zizzi.
She calls me Tony.
How do you do, Mr. Gresham.
Tony, may I have some money
to go to the cinema?
They play an American film
about gangers.
Well, why don't you get Nicholaus
to take you?
Count Nicholaus is
my daughter's fianc.
How many times have I told you,
he is not my fianc.
Oh, well, it has not been
officially announced.
- You see, she does not like him much.
- I do not like him even so little.
Catterina Theodora Margherita!
(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
I know, Tony.
It is for the good of our country.
We need this alliance
with the House of Dohenberg.
