Reign

Sebastian:
To see you smile is to feel the sun, your grace.

Mary:
Do you flirt with everyone?

Sebastian:
Absolutely everyone.

Aylee:
I take things sometimes. It makes me feel better.

Prince Francis II:
And once I did that, I'd probably invite you to the harvest festival.

Mary:
I'd probably say yes.

Prince Francis II:
And I'd probably try to kiss you.

Mary:
And I probably wouldn't let you... at first.

Sebastian:
The real warning is that there are people who matter more and people who matter less. Those who will be remembered and those who will be forgotten.

Prince Francis II:
We have positioned ourselves for the worst kind of pain.

Diane de Poitiers:
I don't care what you learn, as long as you don't forget.

King Henry II:
Not with you to remind me.

Mary:
Politics, backstabbing, murder. Just another day at French Court.

King Henry II:
[cleaning blood up from the floor] Why is this so difficult? Our clothes go away dirty and they come back clean. How do they do it?

Queen Catherine:
I don't know. They take them to the laundry and they dip them in [pause] something!

Queen Catherine:
[talking to the King regarding the dead body on the rug] Roll it forward, the way my chefs do stuffed pastry.

Nostradamus:
All images of Francis' death are tied to your union. You will be blamed for the death of the Queen's firstborn. You will blame yourself, most of all. I see Francis, barely older than he is now, cold to your touch. You are wed but childless. Alone at this court without a friend to comfort you.

Lola:
Bash, how do you feel?

Sebastian:
Close to death, apparently.

Mary:
Almost agreed? You and King Henry have been talking for days! What have you been discussing, the weather?

Lola:
I'm not scared of death anymore; I'm scared of being alone.

Sebastian:
Mary, claiming England means nothing to me. I was only interested in claiming you.

Mary:
I'd rather have hope with you than certainty anywhere else.

Catherine de' Medici:
Men must find something to kill from time to time.

Olivia:
Accept that I have lost. I have.

Prince Francis:
Tell me when you want me to stop.

Mary Queen of Scots:
Never.

Sebastian:
You're talking about changing the line of succession. And that's the kind of talk that gets bastards - and mistresses - beheaded.

Catherine de' Medici:
History is written by survivors, and I am surely that.

Bash:
I've been titled: Master of Horse and Hunt. So, gather your horses and go out and hunt.

Mary:
I was at French court before, you know, when I was your age. I never saw any ghosts.

Rose:
But what if they saw you?

King Henry II:
She's on her way.

Prince Francis II:
Mary Stuart, you mean. I heard.

King Henry II:
You don't sound very enthusiastic. You were playmates once.

Prince Francis II:
She had skinny legs, a missing front tooth, and strong opinions.

King Henry II:
I'm sure the other tooth has come in. The opinions you can ignore. Isn't that right Catherine?

Prince Francis II:
Love is irrelevant to people like us.

Nostradamus:
[to Queen Catherine] I saw your son's future... his union with Mary. She will cost Francis his life... Mary will bring your son's death.

Nostradamus:
His reunion with Mary

Nostradamus:
She will cost Francis his life.

Queen Mary Stuart:
You have no intention of marrying me!

Narrator:
Since Mary queen of Scotland was a child, the English have wanted her country and her crown.

Narrator:
She is sent to France to wed it's next king.

Narrator:
To save herself and her people.

Narrator:
A bond that should protect her.

Narrator:
But there are forces that conspire, forces of darkness, forces of the heart.

Narrator:
Long may she reign.

Queen Mary Stuart:
I don't know who to believe or to trust.

[first lines]

Sebastian:
[waking from a nightmare] She's coming.

Mary:
I'll protect you.

Lola:
You can't even protect yourself.

[last lines]

Mary:
[speaking into the night] I don't know who you are, or why you hide, but your warning saved me. Danger surrounds me here, and I am in your debt.

Mary:
[lightning flashes] Are you in danger too?

Mary:
Safe choices don't always make us safe.

Queen Catherine:
Who knew all it took is a statement dress to get France in the palm of your hand?

Prince Francis:
I hope to be a good king some day, which is why I'll never put anything, any love, ahead of the love for my country.

Sebastian:
My heart says I should be with you, no matter what!

Lola (Anna Popplewell):
Everything looks beautiful when viewed through a castle window, doesn't it?

Francis (Toby Regbo):
I don't make love to you because I want a baby. I want a baby because I love you.
