- Johann Friedrich Struensee: Your majesty.
- Caroline Mathilde: You recognized me.
- Johann Friedrich Struensee: I would recognize you blindfolded.
- Caroline Mathilde: But your costume is not very imaginative.
- Johann Friedrich Struensee: I'm afraid I'm not very good at the masquerade.
- Caroline Mathilde: I believe this is the one night when everyone can be themselves.
- [pause]
- Caroline Mathilde: But you never remove your mask. Do you?
- Johann Friedrich Struensee: Do you remember our first night together?
- Caroline Mathilde: It feels like we've been unhappy ever since.
- Johann Friedrich Struensee: I have been happy.
- Caroline Mathilde: Come to me tonight?
- Johann Friedrich Struensee: [about vaccine] If it goes well, and I'm confident that it will, he will be immune.
- Ove Høegh-Guldberg: The Crown Prince is the heir to the Danish throne! He's protected by God!
- Johann Friedrich Struensee: A smallpox epidemic is not picky. It kills both kings and queens. As you very well know.
- Johann Friedrich Struensee: [to Struensee] I spend all my time trying to navigate all your new laws. You have ideas as the same rate that the rest of us change clothes.
- Johann Friedrich Struensee: Who is more disturbed? The king or someone who believes the earth was made in six days?
