:18:04
You cannot remake the world,
Your Majesty.
:18:07
Why not?
:18:08
Look, Chancellor, the philosophers
remake it, the artists remake it...
:18:12
the scientists remake it.
Why not we who wield the power?
:18:17
The people follow blindly the generals
who lead them to destruction.
:18:21
Will they not follow us who lead them
beyond themselves...
:18:25
where there is grace and beauty,
gaiety and freedom?
:18:29
Europe is an armed camp, Your Majesty,
not Utopia peopled with shepherds.
:18:33
But Chancellor...
:18:46
Snow again. Eternal snow.
:18:50
Your Majesty, it is for Sweden.
It is your duty.
:18:54
Why is it my duty?
:18:56
My days and nights are given up
to the service of the state.
:18:59
I am so cramped with duty
that to be able to read a book...
:19:02
I have to rise in the middle of the night.
:19:04
I serve the people with all my thoughts,
with all my energy...
:19:07
with all my dreams, waking and sleeping.
:19:10
I do not wish to marry,
and they cannot force me.
:19:14
You must give Sweden an heir.
:19:17
Not by Charles, Chancellor.
:19:19
You are Sweden's Queen.
You are your father's daughter.
:19:27
Must we live for the dead?
:19:30
For the great dead?
:19:34
Yes, Your Majesty.
:19:42
Snow is like a wide sea.
:19:46
One could go out and be lost in it...
:19:50
and forget the world and oneself.
:19:55
There are rumors that Your Majesty
is planning a foreign marriage.
