  Lady Sarah : Hell. I'm sure you shall pass through it one day.

• Abigail : [about the war]  If he dies?

  Lady Sarah : Did you not sacrifice your cunt to a fatty German to save your father?

• Abigail : My life is like a maze that I continually think I've gotten out of only to find another corner right in front of me.

  Lady Sarah : As long as you're aware that I have a gun.

• Queen Anne : What happened to your dress?

  Abigail : Wolves.

• Harley : It is important to make new friends, is it not?

  Abigail : Yes. If that's what's actually happening here, and not veiled threats under the guise of civility.

• [last lines] 

  Abigail : You should lie down.

  Queen Anne : You shall speak when asked to! I feel dizzy, I need to hold on to something.

  [she grabs Abigail's hair] 

• Abigail : I hoped I might be employed here. By you. As something.

• Abigail : You want something. To fuck me?

  Harley : I will leave that to my friend Masham, who is completely cuntstruck by you.

• Lady Sarah : None for the queen.

  Queen Anne : What?

  Lady Sarah : Well you cannot have hot chocolate. Your stomach, the sugar inflames it.

  Queen Anne : Abigail, hand me that cup!

  Lady Sarah : [casually]  Do not.

  Abigail : I'm sorry. I do not know what to do.

  Lady Sarah : Oh fine, give it to her. And you can get a bucket and mop for the aftermath.

• Abigail : You're so beautiful.

  Queen Anne : Stop it, you mock me.

  Abigail : I do not. If I were a man, I would ravish you! Rrrrravish!

• Abigail : [referring to the filth she fell into that's all over her clothes and face]  This mud stinks.

  Sally : They shit in the streets around here. Political commentary they call it.

• Abigail : Perhaps because of my past, perhaps some malformation of my heart. I blame my father, of course. *Cunt*. I must take control of my circumstance. I will need to act in a way that meets the edges of my morality. Or, I will end up on the street selling my arsehole to syphilitic soldiers, steadfast morality will be a fucking nonsense that will mock me daily.

• Harley : You do not care? I thought you were on our side.

  Abigail : I'm on my side. Always.

• Abigail : Fuuuck! Fuck! Fuck. Fuck.

• Masham : That was you on the horse that morning.

  Abigail : I am a servant. Where would I get a horse? Perhaps you dreamt of me?

  Masham : Perhaps it was you - and I should have you stripped and whipped.

  Abigail : I'm waiting.

• Masham : Who are you? No ordinary maid.

  Abigail : It could be said I have fallen far.

  Masham : It could be said I aim to catch you.

  Abigail : I might allow it.

• Abigail : Shall I tell the doctor you imperiled the Queens health and let you rue the ramifications?

  Footman #1 : What does - what does rami-fi-ca...

  Abigail : It means he will have you whipped.

• Abigail : I have just now decided to marry you Masham.

  Masham : I cannot marry a servant. I can enjoy one though.

• Queen Anne : [in a mud bath]  It is so strange to be in this.

  Abigail : It is good for you. The doctor says it will leach the toxins.

  Queen Anne : What if I should fall asleep and slip under?

  Abigail : Oh, just imagine it is hot chocolate.

  Queen Anne : Oh, then I shall die happy.

• Lady Sarah : Oh, my God. You actually think you have won.

  Abigail : Haven't I?

  Lady Sarah : We were playing very different games.

  Abigail : Well, all I know is, your carriage awaits and my maid is on her way up with something called a pineapple.

• Abigail : You do not need me as an enemy. As it turns out I am capable of much unpleasantness.

• Abigail : Is it a bit like going late to a party? If the party's going well, they did not need you and resent the intrusion. But, if it is going badly, you cannot save it and you tend to regret you ever put on your nice gown for it.

• Abigail : Mr Harley. You always unbalance me.

• Abigail : I guess all the rapes were the hardest. Made me feel at their mercy, that I was nothing.

• Queen Anne : You are a dear Abigail. I shall retire for the evening.

  Abigail : Shall I prepare your bed Queen Anne?

  Lady Sarah : Or shall you and I adjourn to your apartments for sherry?
