Christina

[about Charles]

He at least is no opportunist...I look at you and I look at a stranger, a stranger whom I do not altogether like.

Magnus

I grant you your preferences if you love me.

Christina

Love you? I wonder now, Magnus, if I have ever loved you.

Magnus

I am your destiny, Christina.

Christina

Are you? I long to escape my destiny.

Magnus

You will long to return to it.

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. Queen Christina My business is governing and I have the knack of it as you have yours for your trade by inheritance. My father was a king, and his father before him. My father died for Sweden and I live for her. Now my good people, go home to your work and leave me to mine. My blessing on all of you.
