“Oh, dear, I know her! She played me! Or am I her? Am I her playing me? Is she me? Am I her playing me playing her? Is she playing her playing me playing her as me? Am I Queen? Or is she? Am I her playing me playing Queen? Did I host Saturday Night Live a few weeks ago? Did I star with Morgan Freeman in Red? Am I a dame? Dame Queen? Is that a double negative? A royal flush? Do I go to the bathroom? Why is Philip a prince? Are we not equals? Do we both sit on thrones? Game Of Thrones? Dame of thrones? Drones? Queen bee? Bee bee? To bee or not to bee? BBC? Bee Helen? Helen Mirren? Mirren Mirren on the wall, who is the most fabulous Queen of all? Who am I looking at? Fancy the Queen!”
