Mary Stuart quotes from Reign

Queen Mary

It may not be my throne by the time I get there. And that girl, who knew no fear... I'm not her anymore.

Lady Lola

No. You are wiser and stronger. Remember that strength that so many have tried to take from you. It is in you still, my friend. My queen.

Queen Mary

I'm trying to save my country!

Queen Catherine

Your country is all but lost! Do not drag us down with you.

Queen Mary

I have to ask the same question. Why?

You mean why, when you were about to leave France? To turn your back on the country that sheltered you as a child and abandon the crown you were given? And me, the husband you swore an oath to?

I think you should leave.

Queen Mary

Leave this room? Or leave France?

That's up to you.

Queen Mary

I'm so sorry, I thought that our love would-

Louis of Condé

Be enough? No, you didn't. You warned me and warned me that you are queen.

Queen Mary

We can't risk meeting again.

Louis of Condé

For the rest of our lives.

Queen Mary

I hope that yours is a long one. Go. Live.

Sebastian

You mean that you encouraged the love of a man below you in rank? Because he found himself drawn into political intrigues he knew nothing about, with enemies he'd never had before? Because he found himself doing things he'd never contemplated, getting in deeper and deeper.

Queen Mary

Oh, God, Bash.

Sebastian

Yes. I walked this road first.

Queen Mary

What could Condé have to gain from striking out against you?

The throne. All that stands between him and the crown is my head.

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?

You did it!

Queen Mary

No, you did it!

Well, that's not the way I'll remember it.

Queen Mary

I always knew we would be wed, even when I first returned and you were nothing but worry and reservations.

Did you, now?

Queen Mary

Ever since I caught your eye, watching me dance with my ladies at your sister's wedding. Feathers falling from nowhere.

You must wed again. You must love again.

Queen Mary

I can't. I will never love anyone the way I love you.

I pray to God that you do.

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.

Greer Castleroy

Mary, you are not fine. You just lost the man you love, and now they're moving you to a lesser room, treating the Queen of Scotland like she's-

Queen Mary

An outsider? That's because I am.

Queen Mary

Are you wearing your mink-lined boots?

Queen Catherine

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