Thomas Cromwell: The Cardinal is the only man who can deliver an annulment from the Pope. He's the only man who can deliver the King's conscience and deliver it clean.
Anne Boleyn: If the King wants it, and, according to you, the Cardinal, formerly the chief subject of the kingdom, wants it, then I must say, Master Cremuel, it's all taking a marvellous long while to come to pass.
Mary Boleyn: And she's not getting any younger.
Thomas Cromwell: No one is more distressed than the Cardinal that the King cannot have his heart's desire, which is ever the Cardinal's desire, too. He knows that all the King's subjects repose their hopes in you for an heir to the throne.
Anne Boleyn: Very nice, Master Cremuel. Very nice. But try again.
