Something wrong with the clip?

Uncle Henry Skinner:
[Bringing out two bottles of wine]
I thought, as it's your last night here, it only appropriate that we open something extra special.
Young Max:
[Pointing to one of the bottles]
Bandol.
Uncle Henry Skinner:
Excellent choice. Tempier Bandol, 1969, the kind of wine that'll pickle even the toughest of men. I once saw a Castilian prizefighter collapse in a heap after drinking just a single glass. Perhaps my knee landing squarely in his testicles may have been partly to blame... What was I talking about before?
Young Max:
You said the importance of a good blue suit can never be overstated.
Uncle Henry Skinner:
Quite right. A blue suit is the most versatile of accoutrements. More important than the suit itself, is the man who fits it for you. Once you find a good tailor, you must never give his name away - not even under the threat of bodily harm.

I thought as it's
your last night here,
it only appropriate that we
open something extra special.
Bandol.
Excellent choice.
Tempier Bandol, 1969.
The kind of wine that'll pickle
even the toughest of men.
I once saw a Castilian prizefighter
collapse in a heap
after drinking just a single glass.
Perhaps my knee landing
squarely in his testicles...
(cork pops)
...may have been partly to blame.
What was I talking about before?
You said the importance
of a good blue suit
can never be overstated.
Quite right.
A blue suit is the most
versatile of accoutrements.
More important
than the suit itself
is the man who fits it for you.
Once you find a good tailor,
you must never
give his name away,
not even under the threat
of bodily harm.
(music continues in background)
Now, where were we?
- Whose turn is it?
- Mine.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Max, have I told you why I enjoy
- making wine so much?
- You don't
make the wine, Uncle Henry,
that guy Duflot does.
In France,
it's always the landowner
who makes the wine.
Even though he does
nothing more than supervise
with binoculars
from the comfort of his study.
No, I enjoy making wine
because this sublime nectar
is quite simply incapable of lying.
Picked too early,
picked too late, it matters not.
The wine will always whisper
into your mouth
with complete,
unabashed honesty,
every time you take a sip.
Mmm,
delightful.
Now, Maximillian,
now you know why
I love wine so much,
have you anything
you want to tell me?
Yes, I do.
Yes, what is it?
Checkmate.
You little shit.
