ELIZABETH: How dare you come, I set you free to go home So you could mother your son Yet you set sail and you roam And you insult me You have a man- His passion set him apart He traded his life for yours For him I softened my heart Now you insult me! Now worst of all A woman sails up the thames "The Pirate Queen" is your ship That mad effront'ry condemns You most of all! BINGHAM: (SPOKEN) Grace O'Malley! At last, the Irish sow on English ground. ELIZABETH: (SPOKEN) She risks death at my displeasure to speak for her people... Then speak. GRACE: Thank you, Your Majesty, it's true You sent a mother to her son But can't a mother and a woman come to plead When wrongs are done? I come to speak for Ireland's need I ask for dignity, no more Your leaders plunder there for greed I do not think it's what you planned Woman to woman, as it were, I ask for justice for my land. There is a time There is an hour For those in power And those they have aggrieved To put aside all pride End what has been Put women's hearts to use And finally find a truce achieved ... My Queen. (Spoken) Shall I go on? ELIZABETH: (Spoken) Proceed. GRACE: I'll tell you now of Irish woes My child goes hungry ev'ry night ELIZABETH: I do not have a heart of stone, But you defiled my precious fleet. GRACE: All of our crops gent sent to you. How long before we starve outright? ELIZABETH: You love a war, you pay a price. GRACE: Sadly, the men you put in charge Despoil us everywhere they go And disrespect our women so To me, the most egregious crime. ELIZABETH: If this is true, then rest assured They will be dealt with in good time. GRACE/ ELIZABETH: There is a time There is an hour For those in pow'r To move beyond their ken A time for women to behave as men When men aren't men. GRACE: ... My Queen. Who knows the truth that we may glean? ELIZABETH: Let's have a chair set down for Grace GRACE: Neither as chieftain- ELIZABETH: Nor as Queen GRACE/ ELIZABETH: Woman to woman, face to face.
