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?
:46:06
Fiery wench, aren't you?
:46:15
It's me bringing up.
:46:18
I never knew from day to day
who my mother was.

:46:21
It shook me nerves.
:46:25
You're your father's daughter,
all right.

:46:28
The same quick temper,
the same hot blood.

:46:37
Tell me, darling...
:46:39
...don't I sometimes wear on you a little?
:46:45
Never, darling.
:46:51
And you won't tire of me?
:46:53
Tire of you?
:46:55
How could I?
:46:58
You'd have to say that, wouldn't you?
