- How cruel men are.
- England is not Scotland.
- Only with suffering do we know joy.
Dialogue
[edit]- Queen Elizabeth I: I was jealous. Your beauty. Your bravery. Your motherhood. You seemed to surpass me in every way. But now I see there is no cause for envy. Your gifts are your downfall.
- Mary Stuart: What now, sister?
- Queen Elizabeth I: You will still have my protection. Under my terms.
- Mary Stuart: Until you have me killed?
- Queen Elizabeth I: I will do no such thing.
- Mary Stuart: Wouldn't you? As Henry killed your mother?
- Queen Elizabeth I: I am not my father.
- Mary Stuart: But, you share his blood.
- Queen Elizabeth I: As long as you do not provoke my enemies, you have nothing to fear. Your fate rests in your own hands.
- Mary Stuart: If I seek to help your enemies, tis only because you pushed me to their arms. And should you murder me, remember that you murder your sister - and you murder your Queen.
