Victoria: Do you ever feel like a chess piece yourself? In a game being played against your will?
Albert: Do you?
Victoria: Constantly. I see them leaning in and moving me around the board.
Albert: The Duchess and Sir John?
Victoria: 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 master the rules of the game until you play it better than they can.
Victoria: 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.
Victoria: Why don't we ring for some music? And then we could dance. I've recently discovered the waltz and I am quite in love with it.
Albert: Waltzing is not really my forte.
Victoria: Oh, dear. What a shame.
