Anthony Eden : I'm sorry if I, uh... disappointed you.
Queen Elizabeth II : Did I suggest that you had?
Anthony Eden : No, but I... I think you thought it.
Queen Elizabeth II : [sighs] I... I did think that the decision to go to war was rushed. And I was sorry to see you lie to the House, when you told them that you had no prior knowledge of the Israelis' intentions. We both know that to be untrue. But, wrong though it was... I did have sympathy for you. To have waited in the wings for so long and to have supported a great man like Winston so patiently, so loyally. And then to finally have your opportunity to measure yourself against him. To do nothing is often the best course of action... but I know from personal experience how frustrating it can be. History was not made by those who did nothing. So, I suppose it's only natural that ambitious men, driven men... want to go down in history.
Anthony Eden : Or make history by going down.
