:12:01
There are precedents.
:12:06
All right. Good. Pray by all means.
:12:11
But in addition to prayer there is effort.
And my effort is to secure a divorce.
:12:20
Have I your support, or have I not?
:12:26
The Pope gave a dispensation,
so that the King might marry...
:12:29
...his brother's widow for state reasons.
:12:33
We are to ask the Pope to dispense with
his dispensation, also for state reasons?
:12:38
I don't like plodding, Thomas. Well?
:12:40
Then, clearly all we have to do is
to approach His Holiness and ask him.
:12:44
I think we might influence
the decision of His Holiness.
:12:48
By argument?
:12:49
Argument certainly. And pressure.
:12:54
Pressure, applied to the Church?
The Church has its church property.
:13:00
Pressure.
:13:08
No, Your Grace, I'm not going to help you.
:13:14
Then goodnight, Master More.
:13:20
Let the dynasty die with Henry Vlll
and we'll have dynastic wars again.
:13:25
Blood-witted barons ramping the country
from end to end.
:13:29
Is that what you want? Very well.
:13:33
England needs an heir.
:13:37
Certain measures, perhaps regrettable...
:13:41
...perhaps not, there's much in the Church
which needs reformation, Thomas.
:13:47
All right, regrettable.
But necessary to get us an heir.
:13:53
Now, explain how you, as a councillor
of England, can obstruct these measures...
:13:57
...for the sake
of your own private conscience.
