Sofia: If Mother were here, she’d pound your ass into the ground.
Elissa: But she’s not.
Sofia: Mother would also have stopped my niece from marrying that low-life hoodlum.
Elissa: ‘That low-life hoodlum’ happens to be my son-in-law and the father of my grandchild.
Sofia: You should have done what Mother did. It worked, didn’t it?
Elissa: Oh yes, because forcing us into relationships worked out so well, didn’t it? You got a better stick than I did.
Sofia: Please. You get to live in this grand high palace with servants at your beck and call.
Elissa: Yes, because having staff members definitely makes my life so much better than yours. At least your husband respects you and treats you like a person.
Sofia: And? Yours is the King.
Elissa: Just because my husband is the King doesn’t mean that he’s perfect. You and I both know that he’s far from it. Did you see what he did to Ben? Our son?
Sofia: He should have done that to your nephew as well.
Elissa: Oh believe me, my sister-in-law tried. What if one of your daughters came out to you as being anything but straight?
Sofia: They wouldn’t.
Elissa: But what if they did? Would you still support them? Still love them?
Sofia: That is none of your concern. I would suggest that you remove those gray streaks from your hair, lest my beloved brother-in-law finds a new Queen to keep him company.
