Quotes 

• Abigail : As it turns out, I'm capable of much unpleasantness.

• Abigail : Have you come to seduce me, or rape me?

  Masham : I am a gentleman.

  Abigail : So, rape then.

• Abigail : Lady Marlborough.

  Lady Sarah : Oh, dear. The servant is dressed in the clothes of a lady. How... whimsical.

  Abigail : My dear friend and cousin, how good to see you've returned from...

  Lady Sarah : Hell. I'm sure you shall pass through it one day.

• Abigail : [about the war]  If he dies?

  Lady Sarah : Did you not sacrifice your cunt to a fatty German to save your father?

  Abigail : Yes.

  Lady Sarah : There is always a price to pay. I am prepared to pay it.

• Abigail : My life is like a maze that I continually think I've gotten out of only to find another corner right in front of me.

• Abigail : [after Sarah slaps Abigail twice in the face]  Obviously you still have some anger to expiate. I'll allow it this once.

  Lady Sarah : Congratulations on your wedded bliss.

  Abigail : [snorts dismissively] 

• Harley : So what's been happening?

  Abigail : The queen and Lady Marlborough are to race lobsters, and then eat them.

• Abigail : When I was 15, my father lost me in a card game.

  Lady Sarah : You are not serious.

  Abigail : He was very upset about it. Took off into the forest with nothing but a scullery maid and a dozen bottles for solace.

• Abigail : Can I ask you something?

  Lady Sarah : As long as you're aware that I have a gun.

• [last lines] 

  Abigail : You should lie down.

  Queen Anne : You shall speak when asked to! I feel dizzy, I need to hold on to something.

  [she grabs Abigail's hair] 

• Queen Anne : What happened to your dress?

  Abigail : Wolves.

• Harley : It is important to make new friends, is it not?

  Abigail : Yes. If that's what's actually happening here, and not veiled threats under the guise of civility.

• Abigail : You want something. To fuck me?

  Harley : I will leave that to my friend Masham, who is completely cuntstruck by you.

• Abigail : You're so beautiful.

  Queen Anne : Stop it, you mock me.

  Abigail : I do not. If I were a man, I would ravish you! Rrrrravish!

• Lady Sarah : None for the queen.

  Queen Anne : What?

  Lady Sarah : Well you cannot have hot chocolate. Your stomach, the sugar inflames it.

  Queen Anne : Abigail, hand me that cup!

  Lady Sarah : [casually]  Do not.

  Abigail : I'm sorry. I do not know what to do.

  Lady Sarah : Oh fine, give it to her. And you can get a bucket and mop for the aftermath.

• Abigail : I hoped I might be employed here. By you. As something.

  Lady Sarah : A monster for the children to play with, perhaps?

• Abigail : [referring to the filth she fell into that's all over her clothes and face]  This mud stinks.

  Sally : They shit in the streets around here. Political commentary they call it.

• Abigail : The debt was to a balloon shaped German man with a thin cock. Thankfully I managed to convince him a woman has her blood in twenty eight days a month.

• Harley : You do not care? I thought you were on our side.

  Abigail : I'm on my side. Always.

• Abigail : Fuuuck! Fuck! Fuck. Fuck.

• Masham : That was you on the horse that morning.

  Abigail : I am a servant. Where would I get a horse? Perhaps you dreamt of me?

  Masham : Perhaps it was you - and I should have you stripped and whipped.

  Abigail : I'm waiting.

• Masham : Who are you? No ordinary maid.

  Abigail : It could be said I have fallen far.

  Masham : It could be said I aim to catch you.

  Abigail : I might allow it.

• Abigail : I have just now decided to marry you Masham.

  Masham : I cannot marry a servant. I can enjoy one though.

• Queen Anne : [in a mud bath]  It is so strange to be in this.

  Abigail : It is good for you. The doctor says it will leach the toxins.

  Queen Anne : What if I should fall asleep and slip under?

  Abigail : Oh, just imagine it is hot chocolate.

  Queen Anne : Oh, then I shall die happy.

• Abigail : Perhaps because of my past, perhaps some malformation of my heart. I blame my father, of course. *Cunt*. I must take control of my circumstance. I will need to act in a way that meets the edges of my morality. Or, I will end up on the street selling my arsehole to syphilitic soldiers, steadfast morality will be a fucking nonsense that will mock me daily.

• Lady Sarah : Oh, my God. You actually think you have won.

  Abigail : Haven't I?

  Lady Sarah : We were playing very different games.

  Abigail : Well, all I know is, your carriage awaits and my maid is on her way up with something called a pineapple.

• Abigail : Shall I tell the doctor you imperiled the Queens health and let you rue the ramifications?

  Footman #1 : What does - what does rami-fi-ca...

  Abigail : It means he will have you whipped.

• Abigail : Is it a bit like going late to a party? If the party's going well, they did not need you and resent the intrusion. But, if it is going badly, you cannot save it and you tend to regret you ever put on your nice gown for it.

• Abigail : You do not need me as an enemy. As it turns out I am capable of much unpleasantness.

• Abigail : I guess all the rapes were the hardest. Made me feel at their mercy, that I was nothing.

• Abigail : Mr Harley. You always unbalance me.

• Queen Anne : You are a dear Abigail. I shall retire for the evening.

  Abigail : Shall I prepare your bed Queen Anne?

  Lady Sarah : Or shall you and I adjourn to your apartments for sherry?
