Sir Winston Churchill : Pray silence for Her Majesty, the Queen.
Queen Elizabeth II : My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen. Dear Winston and Lady Churchill. My confidence in Sir Anthony is complete. And I know he will lead the country on to great achievements, but it would be useless to pretend that either he or any of those successors who may one day follow him in office, will ever, for me, be able to hold the place of my first Prime Minister, to whom my husband and I owe so much. And for whose wise guidance, during the early years of my reign, I shall always be so profoundly grateful. I will remember you always for your magnanimity, your courage at all times. And for your unfailing humor. Founded in your unrivaled mastery of the English language. I take comfort from the fact, that in losing my constitutional adviser... I gain a wise counsellor... to whom I shall look for help and support in the days which lie ahead. May there be many of them.

Queen Elizabeth II : [to Phillip] I have nothing to hide from you. Nothing. Porchey is a friend. And yes, there are those who would have preferred me to marry him. Indeed, marriage with him might have been easier. Might have even worked better than ours. But to everyone's regret and frustration... the only person I have ever loved is you. And can you honestly look me in the eye and say the same? Can you?
