  • While dastardly and power-greedy, it cannot be denied that Montagu Love makes an impressive Philip II, with lines just as powerful.
    • This initial exchange.
    Peralta: It is not yet time, Your Majesty. Not until the Armada is built.
    Philip: Time? The destiny of Spain cannot wait upon the fitness of time. I have but one life... and that life is all too short for me to fulfill that destiny.
    • And then his grand speech.
    Philip: With England conquered, nothing can stand in our way. Northern Africa... Europe as far east as the Urals... then the New World: to the north, to the south, west to the Pacific... over the Pacific to China and to the Indies will our empire spread. One day, before my death, we shall sit here and gaze at this map upon the wall. It will have ceased to be a map of the world. It will be Spain.
