[Protestor 3] Death to the Monarchy!

[DAVID] How’s everything with Emilia going? [AMELIA] Her approval ratings have... dropped. Even if it’s just eight percent, that’s a significant change in barely two weeks. [DAVID] Oh. What do you think on doing? [AMELIA] I was actually wondering if you had any advice on how to make people more accepting of her relationship with the boy. [DAVID] Really? You’re coming to me? [AMELIA] Dad. Yes, seriously. I’ve only thought of making her appear more often at charities, with children, other things others can consider touching to gain more sympathy. [AMELIA] That and the slightest chance they break it off soon. I don’t wish to see my own daughter sad, of course. I’m just mentioning it. [DAVID] I think she really likes him. Isn’t he here? [AMELIA] He is, she insisted. Since she can’t go on dates with him anymore. [DAVID] I don’t think there’s anything you can do, other than hope Gardania accepts their relationship. She’s just a teenager dating, after all. [DAVID] They obviously like her as Crown Princess, but not when she’s directly linked to foreign royalty. [AMELIA] So, we just sit and wait. [DAVID] Whether the relationship lasts or not, it doesn't matter. She’s clearly very happy, Amelia.   [AMELIA] I know that and I trust her. I just don’t trust him. [DAVID] Has he done anything? [AMELIA] No, but call it a mother’s intuition.

[Viviane] I wish I could say the same. We should get started.

[DAVID] Amelia, I’m not sure how much longer I can go on— [AMELIA] I know we already spoke about the abdications months ago, but all I’m asking is for time. Let Emilia finish her school year. [AMELIA] While I’m ready, she is not. She just wants to attend her school dance in peace. An announcement investing her as the Crown Princess weeks before isn’t exactly ideal. [DAVID] You’re right, your mother would’ve agreed with you. We’ll wait. Have you told her yet? [AMELIA] I haven’t. I’ll be going to Ludgrove next week. If I get a chance, I’ll tell her. [DAVID] Amelia, she has to know— [AMELIA] I have to go to Theresa’s competition. I’ll be going. Have a nice day, your Majesty.

[Blair] She’s still in surgery? [David] Blair? Edward, you— [Edward] Sorry! She threatened me. You know how she can be! [Blair] You were planning on waiting who knows how many hours until her surgery was complete to tell me? Seriously, David? She’s my daughter. [David] Your health— [Blair] I’m fine! The doctor agrees! You can’t decide for me if I can take these news or not. [Blair] I’m fine! The doctor agrees! You can’t decide for me if I can take these news or not. I should’ve been told the moment you got the news so I could be here with everyone. [Harry] You’re right mom, but dad was just looking out for you. Can you two talk about this later though? You know… [motions to Oliver].   [Blair] Of course, sorry, darling. We’re all nervous. [Doctor] Sorry for the intrusion, Your Majesties, Your Royal Highnesses, but the surgery is over. The Crown Princess is stable and has been moved to her own room. [Blair] Oh my gosh, thank you so much Dr. Graham. [Doctor] Due to the level of injuries, this including a collapsed lung and internal bleeding, she had to be put under an induced coma. If her conditions continues to get better, she will wake up within days. [Blair] And if not? [Doctor] It can take a few weeks. We’d administer her a less strong anesthetic. You can see her now, If you’d like.
