(MUEZZIN CALLING)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Idiot!
(SPEAKING Hindi)
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)
(SPEAKING Hindi)
Ah! Mr. Karim!
about the carpets
we sent to the
British Exhibition.
There is a problem, sir?
No, no.
The carpets went down
very well.
In fact,
the Governor General
has received a letter
from the Royal Household
thanking him personally.
It's all been such a success,
he has decided
"Mohur" as part of the Jubilee.
A "Mohur," sir?
A Mohur.
Apparently, it's some sort
of ceremonial coin.
I have been asked to find
someone tall to present it.
You're the
tallest person here.
When will she
be arriving, sir?
Not in Agra...
In England!
You will travel to England
and present the Mohur
at an official function.
Like an equerry.
On a horse?
I don't think there'll be
a horse. (CHUCKLES)
Equerry always has a horse,
Mr. Tyler, sir.
Well, maybe not like
an equerry, exactly.
(SCATTERED CONVERSATIONS)
Morning!
Ah! Morning!
This is Major Bigge...
Extra Groom-in-Waiting to the
Royal Household, Windsor,
who will be in charge
of your journey.
This is Abdul.
Top hole!
And this is Mohammed,
who will also be
presenting the Mohur.
He's very short.
We had to swap him
at the last moment.
The tall chap had an accident
with an elephant.
(QUEEN VICTORIA SNORING)
MRS. TUCK:
Good morning, Your Majesty.
(GROANS)
MAJOR BIGGE:
At the headis the Lord Chamberlain,
then the Private Secretary,
the ladies-in-waiting, the upper servants,
the lower-upper servants.
Then the members
of the Household.
One, the Head
of the Bedchamber.
Two, the Personal
Head of Staff.
Three, the Butler in Chief, who is
in charge of the Household Butler,
the kitchen factotum, the Head Chef,
the head of waiting staff,
Windsor, the table maids,
then you.
Any questions?
Uh-huh. Who will have
the Mohur, sir?
I'm not exactly sure as yet.
I suspect you'll both
carry it on a cushion.
Do we both
get a cushion?
I really don't know.
The key to good service is standing
still and moving backwards.
The most important thing
is you must not look at her.
(SPEAKING URDU)
Have you any idea
how cold it is in England?
We're gonna die there.
Why did you agree to come?
The tall one
fell off an elephant.
I wasn't given a choice.
Ugh! Five thousand miles
to the oppressor of the
entire Indian subcontinent.
You don't realize what a
great honor this is for us.
Have you ever tasted English food?
They eat pigs' blood.
They do not eat pigs' blood.
I'm telling you.
They put pigs' blood in the
sausages and brains of sheep.
Ugh!
(CHUCKLES)
The place is
completely barbaric.
(SHIP WHISTLE HOOTING)
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
BEGGAR:
Give me some money.Please, sir.
Civilization!
Give us a farthing.
Give us a farthing, sir.
Arms.
(QUEEN VICTORIA GROANS)
TAILOR:
Arms.We copied them from some
drawings in the British Museum.
Splendid!
You do know a sash is
not traditional, sir?
The Indian drawings
didn't look very... "Indian."
So we made some innovations.
The important thing
is to look
authentic.
MAJOR BIGGE:
Looks jolly good to me.
