ECEmperor Charles

Together we shall invade France and bring to an end the adventures of that libertine monarch, King Francis.

That would make me very happy.

ECEmperor Charles

It will also make you king of France.

[to Master Wyatt] You are a poet as I am a woman. Poets and women are always free with their hearts, are they not?

There's only one way to reach the King's ear, and that is through the good offices of Cardinal Wolsey.

SESpanish envoy

We heard some rumors, Mr More, that the cardinal advocates the French interests.

Only when he considers them to be in ours.

WCWilliam Cornish

[in a play] You give us no choice but to attack and breach your defenses!

ULady Unkindness

No knight shall ever breach mine.

WCWilliam Cornish

Lady, Desire overcomes all.

[to Wolsey] What we lack in men, we can more than make up for in ships. We are in an island race, Cardinal. We have the best and bravest sailors in the world. I will have the greatest navy.

TWThomas Wolsey

Ships are expensive, your Majesty.

My father was a clever man, your Eminence. A shrewd man. A businessman. He left me a great deal of money, your Eminence. I intend to spend it!
