1:01:16
Your Majesty.
1:01:19
Stand up straight, girl.
1:01:25
I've seen you.
1:01:27
You are the one who comes to
all the plays at Whitehall, at Richmond.
1:01:31
Your Majesty.
1:01:33
What do you love so much?
1:01:36
- [ Inhales ] Your Majesty--
- Speak up, girl!
1:01:38
I know who I am.
1:01:40
Do you love stories
of kings and queens?
1:01:44
Of feats of arms?
1:01:46
Or is it courtly love?
1:01:49
I love theater.
1:01:51
To have stories acted for me
by a company of fellows is indeed--
1:01:54
They're not acted for you;
they are acted for me. And?
1:01:59
And I love poetry above all.
1:02:02
Above Lord Wessex?
1:02:04
- [ Guests Laughing ]
- My lord, when you
cannot find your wife,
1:02:06
you better look for her
at the playhouse.
1:02:09
[ Chuckles ]
1:02:11
Playwrights teach us
nothing about love.
1:02:14
They make it pretty; they make
it comical; or they make it lust.
1:02:17
They cannot make it true.
1:02:20
- Oh, but they can.
- [ Guests Gasping ]
1:02:25
I mean, Your Majesty, they--
they do not, they have... not,
1:02:30
but I believe
there is one who can.
1:02:34
[ Wessex ]
My Lady Viola is young in the world.
1:02:36
Your Majesty is wise in it.
1:02:38
Nature and truth are the very enemies
of playacting. I'll wager my fortune.
1:02:42
I thought you were here
because you had none.
1:02:45
[ Guests Laughing ]
1:02:50
- Well, no one will take
your wager, it seems.
- Fifty pounds.
1:02:55
[ Guests Murmuring ]
1:02:57
Fifty pounds?
