But - for the children.

[first lines] Lady with Pearls:
Your Highness, please allow me to make this little contribution. Lawrence Jamieson:
No, I cannot accept them. Lady with Pearls:
But think of what These could do for your cause. Lawrence Jamieson:
Even though I know those pearls would mean freedom for many of my people, I will not take them. Lady with Pearls:
Please. Please! These could save the lives of many men. Lawrence Jamieson:
The men of my country are proud. They would die rather than have their Prince accept charity. Lady with Pearls:
Then think of the lives of the women, the mothers. Lawrence Jamieson:
The women of my country fight alongside the men. They are also too proud to accept charity. Lady with Pearls:
Then consider the lives of the children. The innocent children. Lawrence Jamieson:
But - for the children. [Lawrence accepts the pearls]
