0:00:29: It's six o'clock.

0:00:30: What will tell the kitchens we'll eat in 45 minutes?

0:00:32: But it's tea time.

0:00:34: Good boy.

0:00:39: Your Majesty.

0:00:45: Good evening.

0:00:47: Good evening.

0:00:49: Your Royal Highness.

0:01:26: I tried.

0:01:31: Mark, you do it better.

0:01:36: That is much louder.

0:01:41: Did I hear there was a sighting on the western shore there?

0:02:10: I have some sympathy.

0:02:13: It's business.

0:02:15: It's not business.

0:02:17: It's conservation.
