• The Czar : This is our destiny, my dear.

  The Czarina : I know. What have we done to these people of yours, Nicky, that they'd hate us so,

  The Czar : Nothing, Alex. Everybody loves you, you know that.

  The Czarina : No. But, you love me, Nicky. That's enough for any Empress.

• The Czarina : I need you.

  Prince Chegodieff : Yes, your Majesty.

  The Czarina : I've injured you. But, I've injured Russia more.

  The Czarina : My heart is broken. What are we to do?

• The Czarina : Paul!

  Prince Chegodieff : Majesty! Your lordship, look at him!

  Prince Chegodieff : Look at his eyes!

  The Czarina : What's the matter with his eyes?

  The Czarina : I love you darling.
