Elizabeth1998

Walsingham:
There is so little beauty in this world, and so much suffering. Do you suppose that is what God had in mind? That is to say if there is a god at all. Perhaps there is nothing in this universe but ourselves. And our thoughts.

[Servant holds dagger to Walsingham's throat]

Walsingham:
Think before you do this. If you must do it, do it now and without regret. But first think, and be certain why it needs to be done.

[Servant lowers dagger; Walsingham walks to window]

Walsingham:
Come here. Look out there. There is a whole world waiting for you. Innocence is the most precious thing you possess. Lose that and you lose your soul.

[Walsingham slits the servant's throat]
