A scene from “Unfinished Business”

King Henry VIII: Today, there is only one matter. The matter of my daughter. To be defied by her, to know that my own kin and cousins urge her on, to be reviled in my own house by that monster of ingratitude, Pole. So, I warn you, if I hear so much as one voice raised in support of that errant creature, my daughter, I shall know I am hearing treason. I am taking advice. I have called in the judges to consider which is the best way to bring her to trial.

Master Treasurer FitzWilliam: Jesus save us. Your flesh and blood? I implore you. Think before you do this. You will make yourself a monster in the sight of all.

Edward Seymour: Pardon your old friend's plain speaking, Majesty. We are all overwrought.

King Henry VIII: Fitzwilliam! Take yourself out of the Council Chamber before I have you taken out! My patience is not infinite, neither with you nor my daughter!

Master Treasurer FitzWilliam: Some of us are trying to save you from yourself, Harry. You are flailing and injuring all about you because Pole has insulted you. You reckon with your enemies, not your friends. That you should consider bringing your own daughter before a court. Because what then? I'll tell you now, she is guilty. What needs a judge? She will not swear the oath. She will say she is not a bastard, but a princess of England, and that you are no more head of the Church than I am! And then what will you do? Cut off her head?
