Queen Mary Quotes in Elizabeth (1998)

Queen Mary: Why will you not confess your crimes against me?

Elizabeth: Because, Your Majesty, I have committed none.

Queen Mary: You speak with such sincerity. I see you are still a consummate actress. My husband is gone. They have poisoned my child. They say it is a tumor.

[Moans in pain]

Elizabeth: Madam, you are not well.

Queen Mary: They say this cancer will make you queen, but they are wrong. Look there, it is your death warrant. All I need do is sign it.

Elizabeth: Mary, if you sign that paper you will be murdering your own sister.

Elizabeth: When I am queen, I promise... to act as my conscience dictates.

Queen Mary: Well do not think to be queen at all!

Queen Mary: [shouting] My sister was born of that whore, Anne Boleyn! She was born a bastard! She will never rule England!

Queen Mary: When I look at you I see nothing of the king, only that whore, your mother. My father never did anything so well as to cut off her head.

Elizabeth: Your Majesty forgets he was also my father.
