Vanity Fair (Dance Scene)

Rebecca Sharp dances before King George IV (In Spanish) Heres the dialogue in English :::Before Dance::: Tonight, Lord Steyne will unveil his mystery performance... directed by himself and performed by the Duchess of Lancaster, the Countess of Slingstone and other great ladies of his Lordship's acquaintance. Your Majesty, my lords, ladies and gentlemen, please be seated. The entertainment is about to begin. Sir What has Steyne got planned, Lady Steyne? Lady Steyne I wish I knew. Sir Steyne the Pasha and his nautch girls. Steyne I give you the ballet Zirnana. :::During Dance::: Sir It's Mrs. Crawley. :::After Dance::: King George Well done, all. People Bravo! Bravo! Extraordinary. King George Yes. Bravo.! Ah, Mrs. Crawley. To the victor the spoils. You have carried off our hearts in triumph. Rebecca If that is so, Your Majesty, then you may rest easy that your heart will be well looked after. King George That is a relief, for it has been bruised in its time. You must tell me at dinner how you mean to treat it. You will sit next to me Lady Gaunt Precedence would make that a little difficult, sir. King George I am the King, Lady Gaunt. I confer precedence. Please notice that the historical parts in this movie are wrong. Ex: - Such a dance would have never been performed before the King or any noble. In the book it was a charade game. - George IV was the Prince Regent when this is supposed to have happen. - The duchy of Lancaster merge with the British Crown centuries before that time and the title "Duchess of Lancaster" does not exist; Queen Elizabeth II is styled as the "Duke of Lancaster". Even if the title existed it would have been rather strange to see the King's wife dancing as they were separated and the entire scene would have been out of protocol.
