Mary Stuart
- Annette: Soon, England's true believers will rise up against that bastard usurper, Elizabeth, and slit her throat!
- Mary Stuart: [in reprimand] That's enough!
- [small pause]
- Mary Stuart: [calmly] Slit her throat? Please.
- Annette: And when that *bastard* usurper is dead, my Lady will be Queen.
- Sir Amyas Paulet: The Queen orders these measures for your protection.
- Mary Stuart: The Queen? I am a queen. They call her The Virgin Queen. Why is that, sir? Can it be that no man will have her?
- Mary Stuart: [Mary sits before her accusers in black, her face stern] You know neither who you are, nor what you do. But I know who I am, and if I die, it shall be as I have lived: as a Queen, trusting in the mercy of God, my Holy Father.
- Mary Stuart: My noble jailer. Am I a danger to England even when I pray?
- Sir Amyas Paulet: As always, ma'am, my concerns are for your safety.
- Mary Stuart: I pray for my cousin Elizabeth. Do you think she prays for me?
- Sir Amyas Paulet: And you, ma'am, are to be tried. For treason.
- Mary Stuart: Me? What is any of this to do with me?
