Speaker B
Why would you say that?
Speaker A
Well, I think even my sternest critics would concede that my first solo trip has not been a disaster, that I didn't fall totally flat on my face.
Speaker A
So I can only imagine, hope, that you've come here to apologize.
Speaker A
To eat your words and congratulate me.
Speaker B
Your capacity for self-delusion never ceases to amaze me.
Speaker B
We're all glad you're back where you belong without too much damage having been done.
Speaker B
You have two sons that need you.
Speaker A
Our sons have easily survived me being away four days.
Speaker B
I'm not sure one can say the same for the rest of us.
Speaker B
The exquisite selfishness of your motives.
Speaker B
And the calculated vulgarity of the antics.
Speaker B
Knowing full well the headlines they would get.
Speaker A
Antics.
Speaker B
Grandstanding like that.
Speaker B
You think we couldn't do that too?
Speaker B
Theatrically hug the wretched and the dispossessed.
Speaker B
And cover ourselves in glory all over the front pages.
Speaker A
I doubt it.
Speaker A
You barely find it in yourselves to hug your own.
Speaker B
I hug who I want to.
Speaker B
I hug who I love.
Speaker B
Particularly when they are affected by the selfishness of others and need cheering up.
Speaker A
Who are you referring to?
Speaker B
Camilla.
Speaker A
Why would I care about her?
Speaker B
Because I care about her!
Speaker B
Morning, noon and night, I care about her.
Speaker B
And you've hurt her.
Speaker B
And if you hurt her, you hurt me.
Speaker B
Camilla is who I want.
Speaker B
That is where my loyalties lie.
Speaker B
That is who my priority is.
Speaker A
Not the mother of your children.
Speaker B
Don't bring the boys into this.
Speaker A
All right, not the woman you married!
Speaker B
I refuse to be blamed any longer for this grotesque misalliance.
Speaker B
I wash my hands of it.
Speaker B
If you have a complaint about not being loved or appreciated in this marriage, I suggest you take it up with the people who arranged it.
