:34:03
You know that Wolsey named you
for chancellor?
:34:07
Before he died, Wolsey named you,
and Wolsey was no fool.
:34:11
He was a statesman
of incomparable ability, Your Grace.
:34:17
Was he?
:34:19
Was he so?
:34:22
Then, why did he fail me?
:34:26
It was villainy then.
:34:29
Yes, villainy. Secret opposition, secret.
:34:31
But deliberate, wilful,
meditated opposition.
:34:34
Wanted to be pope to master me, Wolsey.
:34:37
What is it? Thought!
:34:38
Because I'm simple and plain and deal
with every man straightforwardly.
:34:43
Because of that I say,
do they take me for a simpleton?
:34:51
Wolsey was a proud man, Thomas.
:34:57
Pride right through.
:34:59
And he failed me.
:35:01
Failed me in the one thing that matters,
then as now.
:35:08
But look.
:35:10
Be seated.
:35:16
What an evening.
:35:19
A man could fight a lion.
:35:21
Some men could, Your Grace.
:35:24
Thomas...
:35:27
...touching this matter of my divorce.
:35:30
Have you thought of it
since we last spoke?
:35:32
Of little else.
:35:33
Then you see your way clear to me?
:35:35
That you should put away
Queen Catherine, sire?
:35:38
Alas, as I think of it, I see so clearly...
:35:40
...that I cannot come with Your Grace,
that my endeavour is...
:35:43
...not to think of it at all.
:35:44
Then you haven't thought enough!
:35:54
Lilac.
:35:56
We have them at Hampton.
:35:59
Not so fine as this, though.
