Lord Darnley quotes from Reign

I am an ambitious man. And if this is my one chance at king, I will take it. And if I am king for only as long as you live, then I say, "Long live the queen."

Mary, if you want something enough, you have to be willing to break the rules.

I let you win that race.

My son, you mean... My God, I think I left him somewhere!

Queen Mary

Are you saying that we should marry?

Would it be the worst thing?

James Stuart

He does have his father's history to overcome. You knew that when you chose him.

Chose me like a prized pony.

I do have a first name, you know. It's Henry.

Queen Mary

Darnley...

Darnley it is, then.

Queen Mary

I've asked my brother James to help train you for your fight with Lord Taylor.

The man who lost to Taylor three times is going to teach me?

How dare you, didn't you notice that I defied the Queen of England for you?!

Queen Mary

Oh, you enjoyed it.

I did!

I want you to tell me why you keep pushing me away. I'm going to be your husband!

Queen Mary

I had a husband! And I loved him and he was murdered in cold blood before my eyes.

Queen Mary

As King and Queen, our lives will always be in peril.

We're going to be in danger no matter whether we're together or not. Because of who we are, Mary. Because of our blood.

Queen Mary

Elizabeth will keep coming after us.

Let her come! Let the danger come!

You forged a letter to end my relationship with Keira, how could you do this?!

It wasn't easy, I paid a fortune.

Queen Mary

I want to forgive, and I want forgiveness. I want to start anew.

And I want to be a better man. I do. But what are the odds of that?

Mary! I'm glad you've come! What do you think?

Queen Mary

Well, you commissioned it for your coronation. It only needs to please your ear.

Queen Mary

I had hoped that our marriage would be a partnership in every way. But with your drinking, your cheating, your blind ambition-

I am trying to be better!

Queen Mary

Then try harder.
