Though I love Your Majesty and I'm loyal to you, in every way, I cannot disguise my distress and unhappiness.
Well, you're going to have to.

Tell me about King Francis, Sir Thomas.
He's 23 years old.
Is he tall?
Yes. But ill proportioned.
What about his legs? Are his calves strong like mine?
Your Majesty no one has calves like yours.
Is he handsome?
Some people might think so. He certainly thinks so himself.
He's vain?!
Your Majesty... he's French!
As a humanist I have an abhorrence of war. It's an activity fit only for beasts yet practiced by no kind of beasts so constantly as by man.
As a humanist I share your opinion. As a King, I'm forced to disagree.
Spoken like a lawyer.
You should know, you taught me.
Not well enough it seems.
Do you really think we should go to war?
I think we should try to do as the King wants us to do.
What if the King doesn't know what's in his best interests?
Then we should help him decide.
[to Thomas More] Why is Henry V remembered? Because he endowed Universities? Built Alms houses for the destitute? No. He is remembered because he won the Battle of Agincourt. 3,000 English bowman against 60,000 French. The flower of French chivalry destroyed in 4 hours. That victory made him famous Thomas. It made him immortal!
