00:30Your Majesty.

00:43Papa, we've made you breakfast.

00:45Only Frossoise is too little to carry the tray, so we have Philippe to help.

00:49Yes, Uncle.

00:49I am the strongest.

00:51I could carry it.

00:52My Queen.

00:53Good morning, Majesty.

00:54Be it known that we intend to hold court at the Palace of Versailles within the coming

01:02month of May.

01:05Clap.

01:06Do you see how important it is to elicit the appropriate response?

01:11Yes.

01:11To this auspicious end, the finest examples of humanity shall embody the true glory of

01:19France in a palace of eternal and resounding splendor.

01:24Take note.

01:26Your eloquence, they must love.

01:27Your demeanor, they must fear.

01:29I have further commanded that the greatest masters of France will realize this vision,

01:36unparalleled in the history of the world, in gardens of exquisite and matchless beauty.

01:45Heaven shall be here.

01:54Heaven shall be here.

02:24Heaven shall be here.

02:54the light is fading, Master.

03:03Torches!

03:24Do you part of the world?

03:35No!

03:36Come here.

03:37Go, come here.

03:39Let's go.

04:09Let's go.

04:26Is it?

04:28A week tomorrow at 11 o'clock.

04:31Don't forget about the lend.

04:33If you stand in the hem, you'll rip it at the waist.

04:36It's pinching me here.

04:39It's pinching me here.

05:09It's pinching me here.

05:14It's pinching me here.

05:16Come on, baby.

05:48Master Lenotra, I am delighted to make your acquaintance, long being an admirer of your work.

06:01Lenotra? Too clever by half, if you ask me. And riding on his father's name.

06:08The strategy I employ is to imitate. I cannot resist flattery. It's all vanity to these bigwigs.

06:16Of course, once you're in, you must have the talent. Speaking of vanity, there's a hat now, gentlemen.

06:29Who is this person?

06:30That's Madame de Barra. Well, I'm astounded by that.

06:35Monsieur Mauve's plans.

07:03How many more candidates, Claude?

07:08Three more, monsieur, after this one, but the end is in sight.

07:13Dullness or disrespect, that is my apparent choice.

07:17If the king's demands were not so vast, I would build the gardens myself.

07:21Indeed, master. And in the meantime...

07:24Monsieur Mauve.

07:33Madame de Barra.

07:35Monsieur Dura.

07:37New coat?

07:39New wife's idea. Be covered in mud by Tuesday.

07:41But by then, she thinks we'll have this job, so the coat will have been a worthwhile extravagance.

07:45Sound reasoning.

07:46Gentlemen, I have not had the pleasure.

07:48John Rhys and Daniel Levier. Madame Sabine de Barra.

07:53You're all here for the interview?

07:55We are. And you?

07:56The same.

07:58Been in Paris long, no?

07:59Two years.

08:01And you've worked for someone before that?

08:03I know all the contractors in the provinces.

08:06All the gentlemen, that is.

08:08There is no gentleman, monsieur. I work for myself.

08:14Are we all to be interviewed at this time?

08:16We're here early to spy out the other candidates.

08:19I've been in already.

08:20Oh, how did you fare?

08:22Spent upwards of an hour with him.

08:23Very detailed examination of the work, so, you know, we shall see.

08:26You must have impressed him.

08:28I work for his father. I'm not disheartened.

08:30He seems not disheartened to you.

08:42Madame de Barra.

08:44Well, gentlemen.

08:46Best of fights to you.

08:49Claude Moulin, madame.

08:50Secretary to Master Lenotra.

08:52Have you met the Master before?

08:54I have not.

08:55I have not.

09:00Madame.

09:23Sir.

09:25I'm delighted to make your acquaintance.

09:27I have long been an admirer of your work.

09:31I am so pleased to attend.

09:33These are your plans, madame?

09:35Yes.

09:36Some are to be seen around the country.

09:38Others are still in progress, not yet completed.

09:42However, as required, there are two sets of plans to your instructions.

09:47The fifth and sixth, I believe.

09:51Perhaps at the bottom...

09:52I have examined them.

09:55Ah, sir.

09:56May I ask you a question, madame?

10:00By all means, Master.

10:01Are you a believer in order?

10:04Order?

10:05Order over landscape.

10:08Well, I admire it.

10:09Looking at these plans, there seems to be no trace.

10:14I would not agree.

10:16I think there is pattern enough in number six to suggest absolutely...

10:20Do you believe in order over landscape?

10:23Order seems to demand that we look back to Rome or to the Renaissance.

10:36What I'm saying is, surely isn't there something uniquely French, as yet not celebrated by us?

10:43Which needs the rules of order to attain it.

10:48All of my work is based on a principle you choose to deny.

10:54I wonder that you tender yourself for a position with someone you believe to be outdated.

11:00Sir, I have nothing but admiration for the scale of your work.

11:06You were the first to use such techniques.

11:07I must apologise for any insult that I may have unwittingly offered you.

11:15Perhaps, madame.

11:17When you have been in the public eye and available for ridicule for as long as my family has,

11:21you will think again about this conversation.

11:23Good day to you.

11:36Three minutes, would you say?

11:37Three minutes, would you say?

12:07guess what?

12:21Well, that was interview, forget that.

12:23Not so well.

12:25Not so well.

15:12A gentleman wishes to see you. Monsieur Le Nautre. Here? Don't worry. I'll stay. Come on. Here.

15:21Madam will be with you presently.

16:05American.

18:11Only some of us have that gift.

18:14I spied on you today before you attended the interview.

18:22You moved one of my pots.

18:30I did.

18:40I was curious.

18:49I will not take up too much of your time.

18:51I have been looking again at your plans.

18:55You did not care for them.

18:56I am none the less for it.

18:57In plain truth, I am used to it.

18:59I did not say I did not care for your plans.

19:01I said I could find no order in them.

19:05This abundance of chaos.

19:06This is your Eden?

19:08My search for it?

19:12I spoke today of the pressure of being in the public eye.

19:16I will spare you any repetition.

19:18But, madame, in my world, even anarchy is by royal command.

19:23And chaos must adhere to budget.

19:25Good evening.

19:28Good evening.

19:29Good evening.

19:33Good evening.

19:54Monsieur.

20:06Welcome to Versailles. You found your way here without too much effort, I hope?

20:10The map you sent was wonderfully accurate. I shall need it to get back out again.

20:14We shall be traveling about a bit. Madame de Barra, Monsieur Soilem, and De Ville.

20:18They are building the Marley waterworks and an aqueduct from Théâtre Versailles,

20:22which we hope will alleviate the severe water shortage here.

20:26Madame. Gentlemen. Madame de Barra will be constructing the rockwork grove here at Versailles.

20:31Water, or rather the lack of it, will be a pressing concern.

20:35Master, the King's ambitions are already...

20:37Are vast and ever-changing, and our task is to meet them.

20:39But with respect, no man can meet infinite demand.

20:42The King's commands are not infinite of you. They are the King's commands.

20:45Well, quite so, but the aqueduct can only do so much.

20:48When we began construction, I was under the impression that...

20:51We passed this history. Our task is to suppress nature to our will, according to the present plans.

20:57But, Monsieur, the money being spent...

20:59The aqueduct will carry sufficient water to the gardens of Versailles because it must.

21:03That is your brief. Madame.

21:06It is essentially your plan. Number six in your submission, I believe.

21:14This part is entirely original to myself.

21:18You see, I'd fit onto this end of your plan.

21:24Now you can see the extent of the enterprise.

21:26Yes.

21:28It's a large, flat area.

21:34An arena with... with tiered sides.

21:37Indeed.

21:39The orchestra... will be up here.

21:47Orchestra?

21:49Ballroom.

21:51It's an outdoor ballroom.

21:54There is a pool of builders.

21:56Select whatever supplies you care to.

21:58Commission whatever embellishments you think appropriate.

22:01Time is not unlimited.

22:04Here's the budget.

22:06Try not to exceed it.

22:08Master?

22:21Why me?

22:25These gardens should be large enough to embrace voices other than my own.

22:38The zoo?

22:39They might be able to search.

22:40The fog is also the way to pick them up.

22:41The window is the way to pick up the corridors of the city.

22:46The front row?

22:47The pine Hill.

22:48The grass is the way to pick up the sticking of the city.

22:49Core is the way to pick up the wrong place.

22:51The tree is only one for every single spot.

22:52The fourth row is the added of the room in the city.

22:53The water is only one for two feet.

22:55The city is the bottom row.

22:56One for two feet.

22:57The next row is the bottom row.

22:58The water is the top row.

22:59The other one's the middle.

23:00The hungry is to pick up the side.

23:02The wood is the middle of the dark.

23:03I'm coming.

23:33Madame de Barra.

23:43Monsieur, forgive me for disturbing you at home but I've been reworking the plans.

23:51If we fill a reservoir at the top of the hill we would have enough water to run the fountains

23:58and the building works.

24:01We don't need water continually if we just recycle it and pressure will force it back

24:05up to the start again.

24:07And there's a river here, underground.

24:13May I?

24:18Of course.

24:22Well, thank you, Madame.

24:25I will examine these in more detail.

24:27I must apologise if this adds to the turmoil.

24:29I'm trained to like a good plant, I submit.

25:43You look very well in it.

25:46What are you studying that's so important?

25:49Some plans.

25:52Versailles.

25:56Are these the drawings that woman brought to the house?

26:00They are.

26:01I see.

26:05Button these gloves to me, Andre.

26:16Blunt instruments.

26:18Perhaps that's what makes us a good match.

26:22You're creative, but unable for the more delicate manoeuvres.

26:27Don't forget that, Andre.

26:28I'm the expert.

26:30You're merely the gardener.

26:32However grand.

26:34Without me to promote your interests, well.

26:36Use your famous imagination.

26:39Use your famous imagination.

26:39I'm the expert.

27:09What where are you where are you going Luke

27:39What where are you going Luke

28:09What the sight of you madame

28:29I don't remember

28:31You must take more care

28:33You never lasted this once

28:34Then what will become of us

28:40What does it say

29:31They're cooling the reels on another site won't bother us again

29:34Same with the timber suppliers

29:36One of your friends at the interview recommended them

29:40Perhaps he hadn't thought it through

29:41And you have

29:42You fail we all fail

29:44Not pretty I'll grant but

29:47It's true

29:48Sir

29:51Sir I learnt after some inquiries who had the commissions and everybody had good labourers coming out of their ears except you

29:57Thanks to your friends at the interview

29:59Some men take losing harder than others

30:01I am on the other hand of a leviathan for a wife and where I used to have been on the losing end

30:05She issued very precise instructions which as I say I would never dare go against

30:09Instructions?

30:11Ask her for work

30:12Hell a man snaps like a cadet exposed to the leviathan

30:15Besides

30:18I have little ones

30:20They make me proud

30:22Even if I am humbled elsewhere

30:25Can I take this off now?

30:34I've been issued an invitation to the loo

30:36Precious me

30:38Supper two I expect

30:45Thank you

30:47Thank you

30:48Thank you

31:15Thus I shall be the heart of our kingdom

31:37Inhabited by the finest examples of humanity

31:42Fit for the gods of old to behold

31:46And finding their echo in gardens where each new turn brings another excitement

31:54Phantoms whose gentle flow is calm enough to ease a ringing ear

32:01Scented groves of orange books and blown by temperate winds

32:07And the cherries of chained through the selenium

32:12And the last minute may may consider this emotional adamant

33:08Do you not?

33:13Your first time at court, madame?

33:16Is that where I am?

33:17Where did you imagine yourself to be?

33:19Well, I don't know.

33:23Reception for the Gardeners of Versailles.

33:26A sort of shed of her.
