6 scenes[as they play chess]
Do you ever feel like a chess piece yourself? In a game being played against your will.
Albert Do you?
Constantly. I see them leaning in and moving me around the board.
Albert The Duchess and Sir John?
Not just them. Uncle Leopold. The king. I'm sure half the politicians are ready to seize hold of my skirts and drag me from square to square.
Albert Then you had better master the rules of the game until you play it better than they can.
You don't recommend I find a husband to play it for me?
Albert I should find one to play it with you, not for you.
Albert I'm going back to England.
Baron Stockmar
There must be a reason if you wish to visit Her Majesty.
Albert Then find me a reason.
Albert I just got your note. I was riding.
Sit, please.
Albert The park is marvelous.
I'm so pleased you like it. I do want you to feel quite at home... I'm sure you're aware why I wished you to come here. Because it would make me happier than anything, too happy really, if you would agree to what I wish.
Albert And stay with you?
And stay with me.
Albert And marry you?
And marry me!
Your Highness, there's your opening if you'll take my advice...
Albert Lord Melbourne, forgive me but you seem to have confused me with a member of your club. I am not your drinking companion nor your whist partner. I am the husband of your sovereign. And as such, I will make my own decisions, and I neither seek nor invite your advice. Good evening.
Albert [Albert watches a full dinner service being set out.]
What is this for?
Servant
Your Royal Highness. The Red Room dinner service, sir. For the officers guarding the King.
Albert [Confused]
What king?
Servant
King George III, sir.
Albert And how often do we provide this dinner for a king who has been dead for 20 years?
Servant
Every night, sir.
Albert I don't think he was a very good shot.
Why did you do it? So stupid, why did you do it?
Albert I had two very good reasons. First, I am replaceable and you are not.
You are not replaceable to me!
Albert Second, you're the only wife I've got or ever will have. You are my whole existence, and I will love you until my very last breath.
