THE TUDORS SEASON THREE SENTENCE STARTERS (PART TWO)

s03e05 - s03e08

❛ We must set to work finding a new bride for the King. ❜

❛ It's true, he has an heir, at last, but one is scarcely sufficient. To be safe, he must produce another. ❜

❛ Poor lamb. Never to know his own mother. ❜

❛ Perhaps, someday soon, you yourself will have a child. ❜

❛ You're sheltering a traitor! I want to know where he is. ❜

❛ You are going to tell me, or God help me, I'll kill you, and I have the immunity to do it. ❜

❛ I've grown afraid of my own shadow. ❜

❛ Sometimes I think I do not want this child in my belly. ❜

❛ Like the ruins of ancient Rome, the Colossus of Rhodes, all things tend towards their ruin. Even great houses and the fools who build them. ❜

❛ It's illegal to carry arms in court while the King is in residence. The penalties are severe. ❜

❛ I trust you will now apprehend the villain and prevent any further violence. Otherwise, you will pay the price for your failures. ❜

❛ Everything he might touch is to be washed, and everything he might eat, tasted for poison. ❜

❛ What the King wills, the King must have. It's not to be argued with or crossed. ❜

❛ In the absence of the King there has been much malevolence and violence at court. ❜

❛ There are some who desire disorder with all their hearts, thinking of using it, at the end, to their own advantage. ❜

❛ You presume too far above your very base and low degree! ❜

❛ The King listens to him. That makes him dangerous to everyone. ❜

❛ Perhaps it is my fate never to marry. ❜

❛ I would think less of him if he were to accept such gifts in order to love me. ❜

❛ Though I cannot touch him, I swear I will make him eat his heart. ❜

❛ Death is not ready for you, yet. God has something else in mind. ❜

❛ I know what it is that we have both lost. We have lost our youth. There is nothing in the world, that can ever return it to us. ❜

❛ I will marry who I like! ❜

❛ I want to see my son. What have you done with my son? ❜

❛ Your son is unharmed. He will remain unharmed until we are sure that you are not all traitors. ❜

❛ I ask you, whether such dishonest and treacherous sons could ever have had an honest mother! ❜

❛ With your permission, Madam, may I ask if you would consider marrying the King? ❜

❛ Is it not strange that the King's Majesty was in so little space, rid of his three Queens? ❜

❛ Frankly, Sir, if I had two heads, then one would be at His Majesty's service. Alas, I only have this one. ❜

❛ How can you suppose that at my age, I am capable of plotting anything against anyone? I wish only to live a quiet life, away from this world. ❜

❛ You may well beg mercy, but whom shall say if it be granted or not. ❜

❛ Everyone has an agenda! And what I want doesn't matter! ❜

❛ My father told me that if you leave even a sapling in the ground, one day it will grow into a tree! And that little boy will have 40,000 troops flocking to his banner, and you will be the sucker! ❜

❛ I need pictures! Do you understand? I need to see them. I need to see the woman who's going to be my companion for life. ❜

❛ I'm afraid I was not born for happiness. ❜

❛ I swear he has poisoned the King's mind! And if I could, I would strip him from the King's side, and burn him. ❜

❛ You have ten seconds to get out of my court, or I will beat you like the dog that you are! ❜

❛ I see now what it takes for a man to make his way in this world. He must make a practice of hypocrisy. ❜

❛ I say to you, again, while you still have a free choice, will you live or die? ❜

❛ There's no doubt, now, he must be overthrown by force. ❜

❛ My conscience will not permit me to consummate this marriage because I feel there is some impediment to it. ❜

❛ I tell you, God will not grant me any more children if I continue in this marriage. ❜

❛ Not telling a woman what she must expect on her wedding night is like sending a sailor to sea with no biscuit. ❜

❛ He is charming and very good looking. I think you might like him a little. ❜

❛ I resent the King nothing, but others seek to undermine me, since I was born so low and they so high. ❜

❛ I hope you can forgive my impetuosity. I know we should have been formally introduced, but I couldn't wait. ❜

❛ May I kiss your hand? ❜

❛ I have found someone to amuse the King. ❜

❛ We ran a little wild. There was some fun in it. ❜

❛ I was told before that she was charming, intelligent, well-read, gracious. A true Princess. But nothing prepared me for her beauty. But a beauty that comes from inside. To me, she is the most beautiful creature on God's earth. ❜

❛ The King has noticed you. He may ask to see you. ❜

❛ You didn't step on my foot. How could you? Your feet don't even touch the ground. I wanted a moment alone with you. ❜

❛ Would you like me to kiss you again? ❜

❛ Do not sit there. That is no place for you. Traitors do not sit among gentlemen. ❜

❛ I left her as good a maid as I found her! ❜

❛ My pride has brought its punishment. ❜

THE SIX WIVES OF HENRY VIII

Anne Boleyn... also showed herself to be made of steel. She is a character whose independence of mind and behaviour, as a woman, make her curiously modern.

THE TUDORS SEASON THREE SENTENCE STARTERS (PART ONE)

s03e01 - s03e04

❛ I don't recognize you, my lady. Are you new at court? ❜

❛ I have been utterly abandoned. I feel I was condemned because of what [name] did. ❜

❛ I want you to come back to court. ❜

❛ I'm afraid I have not come here to discuss pleasantries. ❜

❛ However much I love my father, Your Grace, and would do anything to please and satisfy him, I still cannot risk my immortal soul for the favour of an earthly king. ❜

❛ You are an unfilial daughter. ❜

❛ I tell you, if you were my daughter, I would smash your head against the wall until it was as soft as a boiled apple. ❜

❛ Your Majesty, forgive me. But I've heard that Your Majesty may still proceed against [name]. With all my heart, I beg thee not to. ❜

❛ Are you out of your senses? Don't talk of such matters again. ❜

❛ It is very possible that the King will put you to death. ❜

❛ So long as I live, I will never forgive myself. ❜

❛ Women are much put upon in this world. lt is my desire as much as I can to promote their interests. ❜

❛ It gives me more pleasure than I can say to see you reconciled with your father. ❜

❛ Why will you not speak to me? ❜

❛ I'm disappointed, because you are not yet with child. ❜

❛ These rebels are traitors, full of wretched and devilish intents. They must be punished for their detestable and unnatural sin of rebellion against their sovereign. ❜

❛ If still they do not submit, then I promise the utter destruction of them, their wives and their children. Do you understand me? I will destroy them all. ❜

❛ You treat me like a fool. Everyone here treats me like a fool. Get out. Get out! ❜

❛ The King is still confined to his chambers by his physicians' orders, but sends his regrets and hopes you are well. ❜

❛ I worry for him so much. Especially at such a time. ❜

❛ All I hear are their complaints and their excuses. ❜

❛ You know what I think? I think they've become afraid of their own shadows. ❜

❛ I'll lead the army. I'll teach these bastard ingrates and rebels a fearful bloody lesson in slaughter. ❜

❛ Your Majesty's life is far too precious to be put at risk against such a common rabble. ❜

❛ I concocted it myself. I don't trust my physicians. ❜

❛ What fancy, what folly has led and seduced you to make this most shameful rebellion against a most noble and righteous king and sovereign? ❜

❛ Be of good cheer. For I swear, nothing now will go against you. ❜

❛ I think you are the kindest of rulers, and I wish with all my heart the world knew it. ❜

❛ I told you once before, don't meddle in my affairs. ❜

❛ I love you more than her. Don't spoil it. ❜

❛ There is another, close to the throne with a legitimate claim and a true faith. ❜

❛ I trust the King's good faith and mercy. And here's proof of it. ❜

❛ Why are you so sure that their word is not to be trusted? ❜

❛ New things come in, everything changes. I have a great appetite for novelty. ❜

❛We thank God, as we thank the King's majesty, that all this has been achieved without bloodshed. ❜

❛ Is it not obvious the King has taken this matter to his heart? ❜

❛ You're still too trusting. I wouldn't go on my own. ❜

❛ The promises of a king are worth a great deal more than the promises of ordinary folk. ❜

❛ I must beg Your Majesty's pardon. I have committed an assault within the verge of your court. ❜

❛ You ladies are conspiring something. ❜

❛ You should have told me. I should have been there. ❜

❛ There have been many rumors and a widespread mistrust of the King and his counsel. ❜

❛ If you will not trust the King, then will you at least trust me? ❜

❛ I plead with you, for the love of God, not to put this agreement in jeopardy by false actions and rush judgements. ❜

❛ The King will not be moved by words but by actions. We shall do now, what we should have done before. ❜

❛ Your Majesty, I... I gave them my word upon my honor. ❜

❛ I think you are with child. ❜

❛ You wake in the night. You say things. ❜

❛ I must kill hundreds of men, women and children or I'll lose the love of my King. ❜

❛ I said to him there was no need for courtesy in shedding the blood of traitors. ❜

❛ Of course, it will have to wait until after the birth of my son. ❜

❛ I don't ask for your blessing. Please don't send me away with your curse. ❜

❛ You are a man of honor, and I pray to god I shall never have cause to curse or disoblige you. But I beg you, show mercy. ❜

❛ It is my purpose here to show a fearful example to those who would disobey His most gracious and sacred majesty. ❜

❛ The King will not forgive you. And neither will god! ❜

❛ It's too dangerous. My husband might see us. What if I were to conceive your child? ❜

❛ So what? Lots of women lie about the fathers of their children. ❜

❛ I tell you this: If we find [name], I will not truss him up...I'm going to kill him with my own hands. ❜

❛ He has charged me with the grave responsibility of negotiating with Your Majesty a suitable marriage for your daughter. ❜

❛ The emperor has suggested a splendid offer for your hand. ❜

❛ I should not be thinking of my own happiness. ❜

❛ In a while the Queen will come to full term. I want you to organize the celebrations for the birth of my son. ❜

❛ If anything should happen to me, be a comfort to his majesty. ❜

❛ Please swear that you will stay with me now and not forsake me. ❜

❛ I talked to the physicians. In their opinion there is not a great deal of time left. The baby is likely to die unless they cut open the queen's belly to release it. ❜

❛ Your majesty may thus have to decide soon between the life of the mother or of the child. ❜

❛ Her Majesty has delivered a healthy son. ❜

❛ The Queen's health has rapidly deteriorated. ❜

❛ It's childbed fever. I know because my mother died of it. ❜

❛ Don't go. Please, don't go. Just because you have done everything that you promised, please don't leave me. ❜

❛ You are the milk of human kindness and the light in my dark, dark world. Without you life is a desert; a howling wilderness. ❜
