: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!
:37:04
How is it that you cannot see?
Everyone else does.
:37:06
Then, why does Your Grace
need my poor support?
:37:10
Because you're honest.
:37:12
And what is more to the purpose,
you're known to be honest.
:37:14
Those like Norfolk follow me
because I wear the crown.
:37:17
Those like Cromwell follow
because they're jackals with sharp teeth...
:37:20
...and I'm their tiger. A mass follows me...
:37:22
...because it follows anything that moves.
:37:27
And then there's you.
:37:30
I am sick to think
how much I must displease Your Grace.
:37:34
No, Thomas, I respect your sincerity.
:37:41
But respect...
:37:43
...man, that's water in the desert.
:37:51
How'd you like our music?
:37:52
That air they played, it had a certain....
:37:54
Well, tell me what you thought of it.
:37:57
Could it have been Your Grace's own?
:37:59
Discovered!
