Queen Victoria and her prime minister discuss the strong smell of a linden tree during a diplomatic gift ceremony, sparking a heated argument about Victorian manners.
0:05 This, Your Majesty, is the linden tree, which has long stood as a symbol of the loyalty and strength of our people. 0:13 It is our hope that as a token of friendship between our two countries, Your Majesty will accept the gift of 20,000 such linden trees to be planted throughout your kingdom's many public parks and spaces as gentle sentinels proffering in the heat of the summer sun, 0:30 both shade to your busy citizens and the Linden's sweet, distinctive scent. 0:39 Ambassador, we thank you, and it is a most distinctive scent. 0:44 Prime Minister, may we have a word? Excuse us, Ambassador. 0:52 Your Majesty, can you smell cum? 0:58 What? 0:59 Can you smell cum? There's an incredibly strong smell of cum. 1:05 Your Majesty. 1:06 I was wondering if it might be the tree. It's not you, is it? 1:10 No, it is not me, Your Majesty. But I don't really, I mean, I can't say I really smell. 1:18 Oh, you must be able to. It's potent. 1:21 Stop! Your Majesty, stop this now. 1:25 I beg your pardon. 1:26 I apologize, Your Majesty, but the whole tenor of this conversation is completely out of keeping with contemporary mores. 1:34 What do you mean? 1:35 It's not Victorian. 1:37 It's a perfectly valid observation. 1:39 Look at the funny wheels on that penny farthing is a perfectly valid observation for a Victorian, Your Majesty. 1:46 Don't linden trees smell like cum, conversely, with the sky falling in on our heads? 1:52 Prime Minister. 1:53 Do you know how hot I am under this hat, with this beard, this big Victorian beard, Your Majesty? 2:01 I am boiling. I am covered in starch, and I am boiling, and I can barely move at home for little vases on stands or portraits of ill children praying. 2:12 And what has been the point? What really has been the point of the last 50 years of my being a Victorian if Queen Victoria herself is suddenly gonna sidle over and ask me, can I smell cum? 2:28 I have to say something. 2:30 You do not. You do not. You are Queen Victoria. This society was your idea. 2:36 I am boiling, and you will say nothing, not to me and not to the ambassador. 2:42 You say that. 2:43 No. 2:44 Prime Minister, either one of us says something now, or from this day forward, every single park, every single summer is going to smell of cum. 2:56 Just going to have to smell of cum then. Fine.
