Darling, if we must quarrel
when we're together...

:44:03
...why, then let's quarrel.
At least when we do, we're together.

:44:07
If we are to love, sweet,
we must be silent.

:44:11
- For, when we speak...
- Then I'll be silent, and you shall speak.

:44:33
If only sometimes you'd hate me.
:44:38
If only sometimes, when I'm right,
you'd admit it...

:44:41
...instead of instantly flying into opposition,
no matter what I say.

:44:45
But then, my love...
:44:48
...you so seldom are right.
:44:52
- For example?
- For example, Cádiz.

:44:55
Loss of men.
The drain on the treasury.

:44:58
I might have known
you'd try to dig me with that.

:45:00
No matter what you think,
what I did there pleased England.

:45:04
Is it my fame you think of, my lord,
or your own?

:45:07
Haven't you built your name
high enough?

:45:09
In spite of your blunder at Cádiz,
there's no name like yours in England.

:45:13
If we were to ride in the streets,
it's Essex they'd cheer, not me.

:45:17
Is it for this that you hold me back
from a raid on Spain?

:45:20
It is because I believe in peace
and have no faith in what wars bring.

:45:24
The truth is you fear me,
fear what I might become.

:45:27
I do fear you, because you're flattered
by the praise of fools...

:45:32
...until you think you'd make a better king
than I a queen.

:45:35
You think you'd rule England better
because you're a man.

:45:38
I do indeed.
:45:40
That's exactly where you fail.
You can't think and act like a man.

:45:44
I'll make you sorry for those words!
:45:50
Think like you is what you mean.
:45:52
And why should I
when my thinking's wiser?

:45:56
What is your plan?
:45:58
To take over England? To depose me?
