Queen Catherine quotes from Reign

Queen Mary

I wish there was a way to end this without bloodshed.

Queen Catherine

Whose blood concerns you more? Your husband's or your lover's?

Queen Catherine

I'm sorry I wasn't the mother that you wanted me to be. I did my best.

I know. In your own way.

Lady Lola

Catherine. You startled me.

Queen Catherine

Why would my presence startle you? Oh, because you married my lover.

Queen Catherine

That isn't Francis, he's gone.

Queen Mary

I can't let him go.

Queen Catherine

Let go and hold onto me.

Queen Mary

Are you wearing your mink-lined boots?

Queen Catherine

Well, if I have to run, I want to look good doing it.

Queen Mary

What if he dies?!

Queen Catherine

Oh, you just pray that's exactly what happens to him.

Queen Catherine

You are offering me a kindness and consideration I have rarely shown you through the years. Why?

Sebastian

Someone recently came into my life. She taught me to trust where my feelings lead me. I feel love toward my dead brother and anger that people think you could harm him. Those feelings lead me to stand here with you.

Queen Catherine

Don Carlos is going to survive.

Queen Mary

It's a miracle!...And our downfall.

Queen Catherine

That is not a strategy.

Queen Mary

No, it's the truth.

Queen Catherine

To run is an admission of guilt!

Queen Mary

To stay is an acceptance of death.

Why are you here?

Queen Catherine

I had you followed. I am the Queen Mother.

Queen Catherine

What do you hope to gain from being my lover?

Well, I won't lie to you. Poverty takes its toll.

Sebastian

The butcher still insists on his innocence.

Queen Catherine

As all men do before they swing.

King Charles

Why didn't you tell him those anarchists are the Red Knights?

Queen Catherine

And remind him we killed the last group of soldiers we couldn't pay?

Queen Catherine

How do I look?

Queen Mary

Like a queen men would die for.
