GODOLPHIN: Obviously, you have chosen to keep the particulars of your dismissal from me. I shall leave a gap in the conversation for you to remedy that. I do not know of women and their feelings, but I know they nurse their hurts like wailing newborns. Godolphin, I feel a surge of desire to see your nose broken. Your point?

- SARAH: What goes on? - GODOLPHIN: They've brokered a peace with the French, giving up too much, of course. Of course. Marlborough returns in a week. Harley will move to have him replaced. - Now that peace with France has been made... - [CROWD CHEERS] HARLEY: Marlborough's return back to England is imminent. I wonder, Your Majesty, whether it is right that he is left as head of our forces? I will rip his mole from his face. You must stop it, Godolphin. He is a hero who won the peace for us. Indeed, but he would have launched us into a bloody war that would have ruined us, so there's that. It would be easier to pull my strings if you were back at court. A new era of peace and prosperity, a new day, a door to a new future.

Again, to our queen, for her deep wisdom in knowing where to draw the line in holding our country together.
