Queen Victoria Mr Brown.

John Brown Yes, ma'am.

Queen Victoria You have been told repeatedly not to stand in the courtyard unless requested to do so.

John Brown Yes, ma'am.

Queen Victoria Then why do you persist in doing it?

Queen Victoria The Queen will ride out if and when she chooses.

John Brown And I intend to be there when she's ready.

Prince of Wales (Bertie) Then convey her a message.

John Brown She's away to Windsor tomorrow. Talk to her there.

Queen Victoria I will not tolerate anybody lecturing me about the responsibility of the monarchy. Least of all my son. It was his irresponsibility that drove my husband to his grave.

Text [first lines; prologue] Queen Victoria came to the throne in 1837, at the age of eighteen.

Text At twenty she married Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg. It was one of the happiest royal marriages in history.

Text When he died from typhoid in 1861, she was inconsolable.

Queen Victoria No-one should think themselves wiser than me! It is not for any of the Queen's subjects to presume to tell Her Majesty when and where She should come out of mourning. It is the Queen's sorrow that keeps her secluded! It is Her overwhelming amount of work and responsibility, work which She feels will soon wear her out entirely! Is it not enough that She is uncheered and unguided that she should also have to suffer these malicious rumors? I am not a fool. I know there are those in the establishment too afraid to attack me and so they attack my dearest friends. Sometimes I feel that Brown is all I have left of Albert. And now they attack Brown too. I will not give him up to them.

Queen Victoria [Queen spills water down her front]

Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli [Inside a horse-drawn carriage traveling across a huge Highland landscape] Yesterday, Gladstone talked for three hours on the Irish Church Bill... I am as guilty as the rest of underestimating his reforming zeal. Tory days may be numbered, but I fancy there yet remains one last hope of deliverance. Wheresoever the blame lies, we must now close ranks and defend Mrs Brown's England. As for my interminable journey to the land of Calvin, oatcakes and sulphur...

[arrives at Balmoral]

Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli no Prime Minister made greater sacrifice than attempting to run the country six hundred miles north of civilization.

John Brown It's only grief makes her like she is.

Archie Brown Three years, John. Is that not a bit long to be grieving?

John Brown She loved him.

Archie Brown Come on, man. There's love and there's...

John Brown What?

Archie Brown You know what I mean.

John Brown I'm not sure I do, Archie.

Archie Brown There's love and there's behaving like you do because there's nobody to tell you not to.

Queen Victoria Duty? You talk about duty?

John Brown If duty and safety are served by the same end then, aye, I do.

Queen Victoria I cannot believe you are saying this? You, who I have relied on all this time.

John Brown Have I ever let you down before?

Queen Victoria You stand there and tell me it is my duty. After all you promised me!

John Brown I'm breaking no promises!

Queen Victoria You are forcing me to do the very thing you know I fear most!

John Brown For god's sake, woman, I'm just trying to keep you safe!

Queen Victoria I will not hear any more about my safety! You made me a promise and now you have broken it!

John Brown When I took you out riding, come rain or shine, because I knew it was right for you, when I kept the bairns off your back so you could have a bit of peace, when I saw you safe from home to home and you didn't even knowI was there. All I've ever thought about is you!

Queen Victoria Then why send me back to them?

John Brown Because I have to! Will you no listen to me, woman?

Queen Victoria Do not presume to talk to your Queen in that manner.

John Brown If I find out that you had anything to do with this, I will have you sacked.

Henry Ponsonby I believe that decision rests with Her Majesty.

Henry Ponsonby I have sent for a Mr. John Brown from Balmoral. Her Majesty has mentioned him, on one or two occasions, as being a most devoted outdoor servant to Prince Albert during his last days there. The depths of the Queen's sorrow remain impenetrable. She has now restricted herself to a regime of such ferocious introspection that we are all at our wits' end. The Household continues, at her instruction, to observe the rituals now so familiar to her, in a vain attempt to render vivid that which can never be revived. It will not surprise you to hear that she continues steadfast in her refusal to accept any public engagements, however trivial. Family and staff expend all their efforts endeavouring to draw her out of this state of unfettered morbidity, but to no avail. Indeed, Doctor Jenner will not undertake to vouchsafe her sanity, unless some remedy is found. We must hope, therefore, that this Mr Brown will appeal to the Queen's sentimental, though deeply-held, view that all Highlanders are good for the health. If she can at least be persuaded to take the air, the prospect of further recovery may seem less remote. He is arriving by boat this afternoon, by which time it is hoped Her Majesty will be in a fit state to consider riding out. As to that decision, along with all others, we remain, as ever, prisoners of the Queen's grief. Ever your devoted husband, Henry.

Queen Victoria I have noticed of late that my feelings of grief are not so strong, and I find myself leaning more on the comfort of living friends. Friends close to me now.

Doctor Jenner Your Majesty, a settled resignation is more lasting proof of affection than active grief. If the Good Lord sees fit to bring one into contact with congenial fellow beings, one need not analyze one's reaction too deeply. To allow oneself to be comforted by someone else need not imply disloyalty to the memory of the loved one.

Queen Victoria [to Prime Minister Disraeli] How dare the Irish break with the Anglicans? If Albert were alive today he would never allow the Crown to give up Church patronage. No, the Irish must be told, very firmly, to stay exactly where they are. It is the thin edge of the wedge, Mr Disraeli. Next, you will be telling me that the Crown no longer governs this nation.

John Brown Do you hunt?

Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli Mmm, occasionally.

John Brown Daresay we could have you taught.

Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli To shoot, perhaps, but not to kill.

John Brown I promised to protect her - from people like you.

Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli [chuckling] For once in my life, I'm not the issue.

John Brown She'll never understand it.

Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli Oh, in time she will.

John Brown She'll think I've betrayed her.

Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli But others will know that you acted for the greater good.

[last lines]

Doctor Jenner [about John Brown] Cause of death was pneumonia.

Henry Ponsonby Not too protracted, I hope.

Doctor Jenner A few days. When he heard, the Prince of Wales threw the bust over the wall of the north tower. Took four hours to gather the fragments.

Henry Ponsonby Queen wishes to publish an account of him.

Doctor Jenner Dear, oh, dear.

Henry Ponsonby We think she can be dissuaded. Have you had a glance at the diary?

Doctor Jenner Yes.

Henry Ponsonby Quite. I think I best take it back.

Doctor Jenner Oh, of course.

[hands it to him]

Doctor Jenner Where did you find it, by the way?

Henry Ponsonby Oh, some young Page was boasting about having seen it. Lucky.

Doctor Jenner [chuckles] Well, no rest for the wicked, Henry.

Henry Ponsonby [walking away with the diary] No. Indeed...

Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli [stridently to Parliament] This nation is fortunate insomuch as it is not governed by force, but by a chain of traditions that have been cherished from generation to generation. Because in them, in our traditions, are embodied all the laws that have enabled us to create the greatest empire of modern time!

[cheering]

Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli And even though we have amassed great capital, and even though we have established an industry with no parallel in the world. Yet all these mighty creations are as nothing compared to the invisible customs which shape our lives.

[cheering]

Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli To those honorable gentlemen of the opposition that seek to destroy the essential elements of this country I say, let them remember England cannot begin again!
