: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.
:36:03
I'm in an excellent frame of mind.
:36:10
Thomas, you must consider,
I stand in peril of my soul.

:36:13
It was no marriage.
:36:15
I have lived in incest
with my brother's widow.

:36:19
Leviticus: "Thou shalt not uncover
the nakedness of thy brother's wife."

:36:24
Leviticus. Chapter 18, verse 16.
:36:27
Yes, Your Grace. But Deuteronomy--
:36:28
Deuteronomy is ambiguous!
:36:30
Your Grace, I'm not fitted
to meddle in these matters.

:36:33
To me, it seems a matter for the Holy See--
:36:35
Thomas, does a man need a pope
to tell him where he's sinned?

:36:40
It was a sin.
:36:43
God's punished me.
:36:45
I've no son.
:36:48
Son after son she's borne me.
:36:50
All dead at birth, or dead within the month.
:36:53
I never saw the hand of God
so clear in anything.

:36:56
It's my bounden duty
to put away the Queen.

:36:58
And all the popes, back to Peter,
shall not come between me and my duty!
