Elizabeth: I will have one mistress here... and no master.

Lord Robert: When you are Queen...

Elizabeth: I am not...

[whispering]

Elizabeth: I am not Queen yet!

Lord Robert: You will be. Elizabeth, Queen of England. A court to worship you, a country to obey you, poems written celebrating your beauty, music composed in your honor, and they will mean nothing to you. I will mean nothing to you.

Elizabeth: [laughs gaily] How could you ever be nothing to me? Robert, you know you are everything to me.

Elizabeth: Just tell me why.

Lord Robert: Why? Madam, is it not plain enough to you? 'Tis no easy thing to be loved by the queen. It would corrupt the soul of any man.

Lord Robert: Monsignor Alvaro! Monsignor Alvaro! Monsignor Alvaro, tell me. As well as ambassador, are you not also a bishop?

Lord Robert: [referring to himself and Elizabeth] Then you can marry us!

De la Quadra: Marry *you*?

Elizabeth: [laughing] Perhaps he does not know enough English to perform the ceremony!

Lord Robert: You blush, Lady Knollys. Are you in love?

Isabel Knollys: No, my lord.

Lord Robert: Then you should be, or waste all that beauty.
