Jeremy Brown : In view of the occasion, it would seem appropriate to tell you a little of the history of our British Kings and Queens. It all started with the Norman Conquests.
Anna Schmidt : I have seen that on the television. Very funny English play.
Jeremy Brown : I'm referring to the actual invasion of England by William of Normandy. It was 1066.
Juan Cervantes : Wrong!
Jeremy Brown : I beg your pardon.
Juan Cervantes : 1066... maybe 1056.
Jeremy Brown : It was 1066.
Juan Cervantes : No, cannot be 1066. Sixty minutes in one hour. 1066 is six minutes past eleven.
Jeremy Brown : 1066 was the year.
Juan Cervantes : It's all right.
