Archbishop It is for our faith and for our God.
Christina God is being invoked in many lands these days, Your Grace. What about the enemy's God?
Don Antonio What are you doing?
Christina I have been memorizing the room. In the future, in my memory, I shall live a great deal in this room.
Don Antonio You wait. I'll show you the whole living world.
Queen Christina Stop fighting. I'll tell you the truth. Well gentlemen, I have the painful duty of telling you that you're both wrong. Sixes and the nines. The truth is that the queen has had twelve lovers this past year, a round dozen. [To Don Antonio] Any lie will find believers as long as you tell it with force enough.
