'I, too can command the wind, sir!' (Cate Blanchett)

The best scene of the movie "Elizabeth: The Golden Age"





Dialogue:



Elizabeth I: Ambassador? What do you know of the Enterprise of England?



Don Guerau De Spes(Ambassador): The Enterprise? Forgive me, Majesty, I'm not familiar...





Elizabeth I: Two armies landing on the coast of Sussex and... (pause) ...Norfolk. Mary Stuart is to be set free and placed on the English Throne, and I am to be assassinated. Does any of this sound familiar?



Don Guerau De Spes: I know nothing of any invasion plans...





Elizabeth I: Well, I refer to this plan as the Enterprise of England, it should more accurately be called "La Empresa de Inglaterra" because it is a Spanish plan. The plan of my one-time brother in law, your king, to attack my country.



Don Guerau De Spes: Your country? It is my country that is under attack. Your so called Piratas, your pirates attack our merchant ships daily. And you... You think we don't know where the orders come from? The whole world knows these pirates sail up the tames, all the way to your royal bed.





Elizabeth I: (Angry) You will leave my presence, sir. Go back to your rat hole! Tell Phillip I fear neither him, nor his priests, nor his armies. Tell him if he wants to shake his little fist at us. we're ready to give him such a bite, he'll wish he'd kept his hands in his pockets.



Don Guerau De Spes: You see a leaf fall and you think you nkow which way the wind blows. Well, there is a wind coming, madam, that will sweep away your pride.



Elizabeth I: (Very angry) I, TOO, CAN COMMAND THE WIND, SIR! I HAVE A HURRICANE IN ME THAT WILL STRIP SPAIN BARE IF YOU DARE TO TRY ME!
