George III:
[Signs document]
Married yet, Mr. Pitt, what what?
Pitt:
No, sir.
George III:
[Blows excess pounce off document]
Got your eye on anybody then, hey?
Pitt:
No, sir.
George III:
[Holds out document, which Pitt retrieves while handing the king another one]
A man should marry - yes, yes.
[Looks at new document]
George III:
Best thing I ever did. And children, you see, children. Great comfort, of course.
[Indicates paper]
George III:
This fellow we're putting in as professor at Oxford - was his father Canon of Westminster?
Pitt:
I've no idea, sir.
George III:
Yes! Yes. Phillips. That's the father, this is the son. And the daughter married the organist at Norwich Cathedral. Sharpe. Yes, and their son is the painter. And the other son is a master at Eton. And he married somebody's niece.
Pitt:
Your Majesty's knowledge of even the lowliest of your appointments never ceases to astonish me.
[the king laughs as he signs the document]
