Misadventure

The Crown 2×1

Philip, Duke of Edinburgh: I don't know, Elizabeth. ... You're lost. You're lost in your role, and you're lost in yourself.

Queen Elizabeth II: I realize this marriage has turned out to be something quite different to what we both imagined.
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh: Understatement.
Queen Elizabeth II: And that we find ourselves in a...
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh: Prison?
Queen Elizabeth II: A situation... which is unique. The exit route which is open to everyone else...
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh: Divorce.
Queen Elizabeth II: Yes... divorce. It's not an option for us. Ever.
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh: ... No.

Queen Elizabeth II: So, what would make it easier on you? To be in... not out. What will it take?
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh: You're asking my price?
Queen Elizabeth II: I'm asking... what it will take.

Anthony Eden: If Britain's leaders aren't coming from Eton, then where should they be coming from? You see before you the 16th Etonian Prime Minister. Sixteen... out of 40. Not a bad percentage. Harrow, incidentally, only accounts for seven.

Anthony Eden: Well, yes, you might well argue that as a social pool, it is a bit narrow. But narrowness at the top is not necessarily a bad thing. For as any serviceman will tell you, in battle, when the heat is on, one needs a shorthand, a shared language and understanding. A clarity. Eton has, for generations now, provided Britain with that clarity. That code. That... shared language.

Mike Parker: I tell you, the idiot that came up with the idea of marriage has a lot to answer for.

Mike Parker: Well, you know what they say... "Marriage is a wonderful institution," but let's face it, who wants to live in an institution?

Queen Elizabeth II: What are you suggesting that I do about it?
Lord Mountbatten: You have your weekly private audience in which the two of you are alone. Observe him carefully. Listen to him closely. Read your cabinet minutes... minutely. Speak your mind.
Queen Elizabeth II: Yes, well, I'm not really supposed to do that.
Lord Mountbatten: Even if it's in the interests of national security?
Queen Elizabeth II: All right. Fine. I'll keep an eye on him. Carefully. Closely. Minutely.
