- You don't think I'm too short to be dignified?
- To me ma'am, you are every inch a queen.
- I want to dance with you.
- This is not a game!
- You are not needing a governess now.
- Dearest Lehzen, someone has to run my household.
- I hope you realize how lucky you are to be here.
- This is exactly the kind of life I want.
- What can a girl like you possibly do to serve her country?
- I shall find my own way, and if I require advice, I will ask for it.

But you cannot give it to me.

He has no manners.

May I have the pleasure?
- Will you marry me?
- [Priest] I pronounce that they be man and wife together.
(crowd applauds) - We've been replaced, Lord Melbourne.
- [Court Announcer] Her Majesty, and His Royal Highness, Prince Albert.
- I have to find a place for myself.
No, they laugh at my clothes, they sneer at my accent.
I want the people to know that I am a man of principle.

I think it would be best if you went back to Coburg.

I am scared.
- Nothing will happen to you.
(gun shot) (crowd screams) (gun shot) - Victoria, the world is more dangerous than you think.
- I am the heir presumptive, and childbirth is a perilous business.
- I know I am a better monarch than you could ever be.
- What I have here is better than anything you could offer me.
(she cries) - It's started!
(Victoria screams) - We should call her Victoria.
After a great queen.
