Queen Elizabeth: [making a last appeal to Mary before her trial] For the first time in your life, put from you your personal desires and behave like a Queen. Think of your son, who will one day rule these two kingdoms, and do as I say.
Mary, Queen of Scots: [walks away, then turns to face her] No. You cannot tempt me. You are the Devil. I will not succumb to you.
Queen Elizabeth: [exploding in anger] Jesu!
Mary, Queen of Scots: In all my early years, I was misled and betrayed. I sinned most grievously. I lost my faith. I will deny nothing to you here in this room, madam, for I have repented of it all. I have made my peace with God. I begged him that I might atone for all that has gone before, and He has brought me here to die in glory. I was greatly punished... my kingdom, my possessions, my child, my husband were all taken from me; I have been shut away for many years in abject misery; and now I must die. It is my destiny... and it is your destiny, Elizabeth to kill me. I leave to you the pomp, the power, the intrigue and all that a prince in this world must endure or may enjoy. Nothing you can say or do will avoid my martyrdom, so now it is I who pity you, for you cannot avoid ordering the thing you have always feared more than Death itself... the judicial murder of an annointed Queen
