Victoria: How dare you speak to me in that way before them. How dare you... talk across me, as if I were a child.
Albert: I... I did no such thing.
Victoria: Oh, no? Well, you've sorted this, you've sorted that. You and Sir Robert. You and the Duke. All without reference to me!
Albert: Victoria, I thought you'd be pleased.
Victoria: I will tell you what you thought. You thought that I was a woman! To be petted and passed over and ignored!
Albert: Would it were so simple then we might avoid more scandals of your making.
Victoria: Have you lost your mind?!
Albert: Do you wonder at it? Less than three years on the throne and you and your precious Melbourne have pushed this monarchy to the brink of an abyss!
Victoria: I've told you before and I will again, you are my husband here, and that is all!
Albert: And that is quite enough, believe me!
Victoria: I will not have my role usurped! I wear the crown. Any mistakes will be my mistakes, and no one else will make them. No one! Not even you!
Albert: I'm leaving before you excite yourself and harm the child.
Victoria: You will go when I dismiss you. I am your Queen and I am telling you to stay.

Victoria: You may not go. You may not go! I order you to stay here in this room! Albert!
