Lord Narcisse quotes from Reign

As it turns out, there is one thing worse than being hated by Catherine de Medici. That is being loved by her.

I am going to marry you. And I can promise you that it is not a mistake, because we are right for each other. You don't see it, but I do. And I am prepared to wait until you see it, too.

I have raised children of my own, you know. Some of them turned out quite well.

You may not be king, but your actions reflect on Francis, and he has the weight of thousands of lives, just like this one, on his shoulders. Be wiser next time.

What is power without love?

Please, God. Let it end here.

Be grateful for the fun you had, you must have known your time would come.

No one life is more valuable than France.

What the hell kind of country do you have here?

I cannot help you be Queen! Or Scottish! Time and again, you have shown an uncanny ability to emerge from adversity unscathed and on top. You did it in France, much to my great annoyance, and you will do it here.

She wasn't your friend, Elizabeth, she was your prisoner. What a grotesque curse of royalty that you cannot even tell the difference.

We don't take on the competition, we eliminate it.

A royal marriage gives one political clout. I will not be alive forever, and that power, the kind afforded to very few in this very cold world, will protect you and your descendants once I am gone. Do not let Claude go.

Looks like the King's been using his hands to work more than just the earth. No wonder he's better.

Let me offer some advice: next time you threaten someone, make sure you have proof. A theory is nothing more than a feather. It tickles.
