Mary Stuart quotes from Reign

Queen Mary

What if he dies?!

Queen Catherine

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

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.

Queen Mary

I am a queen, about to marry a broken prince for power.

Greer Castleroy

You're also a widow, grieving the man you truly loved.

Queen Mary

I need proof before the wedding happens.

Gideon Blackburn

That's tomorrow.

Queen Mary

Yes. So you'd better get to it, then.

Gideon Blackburn

The day may come when we, you and I, find ourselves facing off against each other across a battlefield. What would you do then?

Queen Mary

I will be forced to strike you down.

Robert Dudley

Impressive. Where did you learn to shoot like that?

Queen Mary

My late husband. He thought it was a skill that would serve me well.

Robert Dudley

Well, King Francis was right. Now that I've seen your abilities with a bow, I certainly won't be crossing you.

Queen Catherine

How do I look?

Queen Mary

Like a queen men would die for.

I love my wife.

Queen Mary

[Scoffs] No, you love power.

Queen Mary

It's Bash, he's alive! We have to stop them.

Give me your sword.

Queen Mary

It's gone.

Then we have no choice. Look away.

Sebastian

Where are you going?

Queen Mary

To show John Knox that queens do not bow to their subjects. It is, in fact, quite the other way around.

Gideon Blackburn

Do not kill Elizabeth. There will be much retaliation.

Queen Mary

I have no intention of killing her. I will dismantle her power bit by bit. Every choice I make, who I fight, who I support, who I marry, will be in service of taking her throne.

You're going to marry my son.

Queen Mary

The hell I am.

Gideon Blackburn

Do you think we can be happy together?

Queen Mary

Yes.

Gideon Blackburn

For tonight, that's all I need to know.
