Mary and Francis in “Unfinished Business”

Mary

[Pacing back and forth] Locked in the tower? Did you think that I would slink out of my rooms like a rat in the passage ways?

Not like a rat. Like a defiant Queen. You will be released as soon as your brother has cast off. I told him that we'd follow as soon as we could.

Mary

So you lied.

It is not a lie, when I know that it is safe to-

Mary

[Shouts] It will be too late! [Claps of thunder and lightning] We both know that day will never come. I will not help you with the cardinal if that's what you think.

[Approaches her] I know. My mother and I will do what we have to. We'll find a way. You may hate me right now, but I've done this for you. I love you and I've put you first.

Mary

[Visibly upset] You love a girl, you don't love a Queen, or you would allow me to be one. You are putting yourself and your country first, just as you always have.

That is not true.

Mary

If Scotland falls I will never forgive you! [Claps of thunder and lightning] You will lose my country and you will lose me. I warned you Francis. We are one and the same.

Scotland won't fall. And neither will we.

Mary

I can't hear another word. Get out!

[Exits] I'll be back when you had a chance to calm down.
