Cecil:
Your Majesty has inherited a most parlous and degenerate state. It's threatened from abroad by France and Spain and is weaker in men, monies and riches than I have ever known it.

Elizabeth:
What are you saying?

Cecil:
Madam, your treasury is empty. The Navy is run-down, there is no standing army, and no munitions. There is not a fortress that could withstand a single shot.

Elizabeth:
I have no desire for war, sir.

Cecil:
But that is not the end of it. Here at home there are those who wish Your Majesty ill. Mary of Scots has already laid claim to your throne, and Norfolk... Norfolk covets it relentlessly. Madam, until you marry and produce an heir, you will find no security.

...

Elizabeth:
I do not see why a woman need marry at all.

Cecil:
Does Her Majesty sleep?

Kat Ashley:
Not yet, Sir William. She is . . . overwrought.

Cecil:
I will need you to show me Her Majesty's sheets every morning. I must know all her proper functions.

Kat Ashley:
Proper functions, My Lord?

Cecil:
Indeed. Her Majesty's body and person are no longer her own property. They belong to the State.

Walsingham:
I regret to inform Your Majesty of our miserable defeat in Scotland. The Bishops still demand Your Majesty's removal. They find support in every quarter. Alas, Madam, we are come already to catastrophe.

Elizabeth:
How dare you come into my presence! Why do you follow me here?

Walsingham:
It is my business to protect Your Majesty, against all things.

Elizabeth:
I do not need protection. I need to be left alone!

Walsingham:
Majesty . . .

Elizabeth:
They should never have been sent to Scotland. My father would not have made such a mistake. I have been proved unfit to rule. That is what you all think, is it not, Walsingham?

Walsingham:
It is not for me to judge you.

Elizabeth:
Why did they send children? Why did they not send proper reinforcements?

Walsingham:
The Bishops would not let them. They spoke against it in the pulpits.

Elizabeth:
Then . . . they are speaking against their Queen.

Walsingham:
Madam, the Bishops are against you and have no fear of you. They do not expect you to survive.

Anjou:
Yes, I am Anjou, yes! I am Anjou. My God! She loves it! And I can't wait . . . [In French] Je le rêve du moment quand nous sommes nus ensemble au lit où je peux caresser votre cuisse et peut-être même votre quinny? Aimeriez-vous cela? [English Translation] I dream of the moment when we are naked together in bed where I can stroke your thigh and perhaps even your quinny? Would you like that?

Elizabeth:
Remove your hand. Perhaps, Your Grace, we shall think on it, but I am deeply religious.

Anjou:
But I am very religious, too. Very religious, yes!

Elizabeth:
Such piercing eyes! And very indiscreet!

Dudley:
My true love has my heart and I have hers. My heart in me keeps her and me in one. My heart in her, her thoughts and senses guide. She loves my heart for once it was her own. I cherish hers because in me it bides. My true love has my heart and I have hers. Marry me.

Elizabeth:
On a night such as this, could any woman say "no"?

Dudley:
On a night such as this could a Queen say "no"?

Elizabeth:
Does not a Queen sit under the same stars as any other woman?

Elizabeth  Movie Quote

Anjou:
The Queen is very intimate with Lord Robert, no? With me she plays the shrew. With him the lover? Her life depends on the feelings of my heart, yes?

Monsieur de Foix:
She is a woman, Sire. They say one thing but mean another. No man can unlock their secrets.

Anjou:
Unless they have a very big key! A VERY BIG KEY!

Elizabeth:
I narrowly escaped with my life, sir. I cannot now discuss marriage.

Cecil:
Forgive me . . . the one cannot be separated from the other.

Dudley:
It matters nothing to me. I can live without her most happily. Better than I could live with her. I have no need of her love. Have I not suffered enough already for loving her and showing it?

Anjou:
I envy you, my Lord. To love a woman so deeply.

Dudley:
Monseigneur . . . envy no man for that. Such love is hateful. It tears the soul apart. Envy a man who has never known such love.

Mary of Guise:
I hear you are a wise man, Sir Francis, and a creature of the world like me.

Walsingham:
Yes. I have no illusions. I know it is only a matter of time before my Queen is overthrown. Her Majesty rules with the heart, not with the head.

Mary of Guise:
I understand. It is hard for a woman to forget her heart. But, er... what of you, Walsingham?

Walsingham:
A wise man would be careful not to put himself in the way of harm.

Mary of Guise:
And how would a wise man do that?

Walsingham:
He would, as I said, change allegiance.

Mary of Guise:
Allegiance?

Walsingham:
There are but two choices. He would get into bed with either Spain or France.

Mary of Guise:
[laughs] And whose bed would you prefer?

Dudley:
You are in the greatest danger. You must believe me. But you have a friend. Someone who can guarantee your safety and your throne.

Elizabeth:
A friend?

Dudley:
The King of Spain.

Elizabeth:
[to her servants] Leave us. [to Dudley] How would he guarantee it?

Dudley:
He would marry you.

Elizabeth:
Only to make an alliance. Nothing more. He would not expect to . . .

Dudley:
He would live in Spain.

Elizabeth:
Why do you do this, Robert?

Dudley:
Because I love you. And though you will not see me, I am the only one who would care for you.

Elizabeth:
You love me so much you would have me be your whore?

Dudley:
For God's sake, I do this for us. I ask you to save some part of us!

Elizabeth:
Lord Robert, you may make whores of my Ladies but you shall not make one of me.

Cecil:
Your Majesty must publicly dissociate herself from this most bloody act.

Elizabeth:
I never ordered it.

Cecil:
Of course, Madam, of course. You must also make conciliatory gestures towards the Spanish. Your dependence upon their goodwill is greater than ever.

Elizabeth:
I must . . . The word "must" is not used to princes. I have followed your advice in all the affairs of my kingdom, but your policies would make England nothing but part of France or Spain. From this moment I am going to follow my own opinion.

Cecil:
Forgive me, Madam, but you are only a woman.

Elizabeth:
I may be a woman, Sir William, but if I choose I have the heart of a man! I am my father's daughter. I am not afraid of anything.

Cecil:
I . . . I deeply regret, Madam, if I have caused you such offence, though God knows all my advice has only ever been to secure Your Majesty's throne.

Elizabeth:
And I am grateful for it. I have decided to create you Lord Burghley, so you may enjoy your retirement in greater ease.

Walsingham:
Your Grace is arrested. You must go with these men to the Tower.

Norfolk:
I must do nothing by your orders. I am Norfolk.

Walsingham:
You were Norfolk. The dead have no titles. You were the most powerful man in England and could have been greater still but you had not the courage to be loyal. Only the conviction of your own vanity.

Norfolk:
I think, Walsingham, a man's courage is in the manner of his death. I am content to die for my beliefs. So cut off my head and make me a martyr. The people will always remember it.

Walsingham:
No... They will forget.

Dudley:
Your Majesty . . .

Elizabeth:
They are all gone to the Tower. Your friends. Tell me, how should I serve thee, Robert?

Dudley:
My course is run.

Elizabeth:
Just tell me why.

Dudley:
Why? Madam, is it not plain enough to you? It is no easy thing to be loved by the Queen. It would corrupt the soul of any man. Now, for God's sake, kill me.

Elizabeth:
No . . . I think rather to let you live.

Walsingham:
Madam, that is not wise. Lord Robert has committed treason. He must be made example of.

Elizabeth:
And I will make an example of him. He shall be kept alive to always remind me of how close I came to danger.

Elizabeth  Movie Quote

Elizabeth:
I have rid England of her enemies. What do I do now? Am I to be made of stone? Must I be touched by nothing?

Walsingham:
Aye, Madam, to reign supreme. All men need something greater than themselves to look up to and worship. They must be able to touch the divine here on earth.

How's school today, Elvis?

Elvis Presley:
Fine. They don't talk too much to me there.

Vernon Presley:
I don't doubt it. Those clothes you wear and that hair.

Gladys Presley:
Don't you start, Vernon. That's his style. Everyone's gotta have a style. You used to have a style, Vernon.

Grandma Minnie:
Oh, your daddy was a looker, Elvis.

Vernon Presley:
Your right about that.

Gladys Presley:
Still is when he sets his mind to it. [on Vernon] Boy could he dance. [to Elvis] Play something on the guitar, maybe your daddy would dance with me. [they laugh]

Vernon Presley:
Oh, no, no, no. I'm not dancing. I'm eating. Is there anymore?

Gladys Presley:
No. It's all they'd give us down at the pantry. You eat anymore tonight and there won't be enough for the whole week.

Elvis Presley:
I'm really not hungry. [Elvis passes his plate to Vernon, who takes a porkchop]

Gladys Presley:
Put that back down, Vernon.

Elvis Presley:
I'm done, momma. Really. I'm not hungry.

[after hearing Presley, Moore and Black mess around playing "That's All Right"] Wait, what the hell was that?

I don't know, sir. Just messin' around.

Sam Phillips:
You been holdin' out on me, boy?

Elvis Presley:
What do you mean, sir?

Sam Phillips:

Sam Phillips:
Damn. What the hell you been wasting my time for? C'mon! Let's back it up! Try to find a place to start and do it again!

Sam Phillips:
Who do you think you are, Tom.

Colonel Tom Parker:
[smoking a cigar] Call me Colonel.

Sam Phillips:
I discovered the boy. He's a raw talent. He didn't even know what he had when he first came into Sun Records. Look how far he's going.

Colonel Tom Parker:
How much further can you take him? Can you compete with RCA, with whom I've had relations over the years? Do you have to wherewithal to take him national? I have contacts in New York, Los Angeles. Music, film, television. You name it. [pause] I know you like the boy. So, I know you won't stand in the way of his dreams. [pause] You need the money, Sam. I checked.

[pause]

Sam Phillips:
I'll think about it, Tom.

Vernon Presley:
A million dollars?

Gladys Presley:
Sounds like a lot of banana all to me. Elvis is already working too hard. Look how skinny he is.

Elvis Presley:
Oh, momma, I've been eating everything you've been putting in front of me. And it ain't work. I like it, it's fun.

Colonel Tom Parker:
Time to sell the apples is when their on the tree not after they fall into the ground. Now, this boy, he's ripe now. So he has to work hard for a couple of years. He's young. He can handle it. Then after couple of years, raking in the cash, he take it easy, do what he wants.

Vernon Presley:
[to Gladys] He can retire on a million dollars.

Gladys Presley:
All this TV and movie bushwa. That's all in New York City and California. Whose gonna look after my boy there? I don't trust em kind of folk.

Colonel Tom Parker:
Exactly. Now, Sam Phillips, he's a nice enough fellow, but those big city boys they will eat him for lunch. Me? I'm one of you.

Gladys Presley:
And where is it your from exactly?

Colonel Tom Parker:
I've wondered the land, much like a gypsy.

Gladys Presley:
Well, thank you for stopping by, Mr. Parker. We'll let you know.

If you would call me Colonel, ma'am.

Dixie Locke:
I need to spend some more time with you.

Elvis Presley:
I just can't right now, Dixie. We gotta drive south. These cats from the hayride have us booked back to back.

Dixie Locke:
"Cats?" [tearfully turning away] I've lost you.

Elvis Presley:
You haven't lost me. It's just, I could be back driving a truck by next year. I gotta grab what I can. For us.

Dixie Locke:
Not for us, Elvis. You got what you always wanted. Good luck with it. [kisses him on the cheek]

Elvis Presley:
Dixie. I love you. It's not gonna be like this forever.

Dixie Locke:
Then call me when it's over. It's just too hard this way.

Scotty Moore:
[on Elvis's break-up from Dixie] I'm sorry, man.

Elvis Presley:
Everything ends.

Scotty Moore:
Well, I guess that's true.

Elvis Presley:
You know I have a twin brother?

Scotty Moore:
No.

Elvis Presley:
Jesse Garon. He died when I was born. I still talk to him sometimes. And that's why I think I got such good rhythm. You know I had a back beat there in the whom. Two hearts beating.

Scotty Moore:
Yeah.

Elvis Presley:
Me and Jesse. And that's why momma frets so. She's just...afraid she's gonna lose me too.

Scotty Moore:
That's not gonna happen. I promised your momma I would take care of you.

Elvis Presley:
And you have, man. And I appreciate that.

Scotty Moore:
I know you do. Let's get outta here. C'mon.

Gladys Presley:
Why do you keep going out there, son? Enough is enough. Why is it so important to you?

Elvis Presley:
Fellas.

[Gene and the others leave]

Gladys Presley:
Baby. Why don't you just quit it all right now? We got a wonderful house. We got cars. [tearfully] You're gonna make yourself a good living. Get yourself a furniture store. You can marry a nice girl, have a baby near by and I can come and visit and I can help you raise it. You would make me the happiest woman in the world. Please, honey.

Elvis Presley:
Look at me, Satnin. Look at me. When I'm on stage, I'm a different person. I am. It's hard to explain. It's like I've got goosebumps all over my body, only it's not goosebumps. It's not a chill either. It's like a surge of electricity, only stronger than that. Sometimes it's so strong, I feel my heart's gonna explode. No, momma. No. It's a good thing. It's a real good thing and I don't know what I'd do if I had to stop and I'm gonna be a movie star, momma. I'm gonna be a real, serious movie star. I can't stop, Satnin. I can't.

Out with friends.

Vernon Presley:
It ain't none of your business, Elvis.

Elvis Presley:
It's just been three months! Your cheating on two people!

Vernon Presley:
Look, Elvis. I loved your momma as much as a man can love a woman. But I'm tired of crying. I'm a lonely man.

Elvis Presley:
It's an insult to her memory!

Vernon Presley:
You watch your mouth, son. I know what you've been up to with those French hooch dancers every time you go to Paris. What would your momma say about your hygiene?!

Elvis Presley:
I'm the one that pays the bills around here, don't you ever forget it!

Vernon Presley:
How can we forget it. You keep reminding us every time you don't get your way?
