- His Royal Highness has a proposition to make to the committee.
- I think that our annual exhibition is too... parochial.
So I propose that this year we invite other nations to send their finest products.
- A fair to show the whole world's ingenuity.
- With all due respect Cole, there's a reason we don't invite foreigners.
I don't think Manchester cottons want to be displayed next to French silks.
(commotion) - We have nothing to be afraid of.
What of worth has ever been achieved which did not inspire fear.
Imagine if the Egyptians had given into their doubts before they began The Great Pyramid of Giza or the Greeks, The Lighthouse of Alexandria.
For an exhibition on the scale you imagined we'd have to build a new hall and that would cost money we don't have I'm afraid.
- There will be some practicalities to overcome.
That I cannot deny.
