:46:00
Why Richard? Have you done something
to make you not welcome?

:46:03
Cromwell is asking questions.
:46:05
About you. He's always asking
questions about you and your opinions.

:46:08
Of whom?
:46:11
Of him, for one. That's one of his sources.
:46:14
Of course. That's one of my servants.
:46:18
All right, Matthew.
:46:25
Well, you look at me
as though I were an enemy.

:46:29
Why Richard, you're shaking.
:46:33
Help me.
:46:35
How?
:46:36
Employ me.
:46:38
No.
:46:40
-Employ me!
-No.

:46:56
I would be faithful.
:47:02
You couldn't answer for yourself
even so far as tonight.

:47:17
Arrest him!
:47:19
-For what?
-He's dangerous!

:47:20
-Libel. He's a spy!
-That man's bad!

:47:22
-There's no law against that.
-God's law!

:47:24
-Then God can arrest him.
-While you talk, he's gone!

:47:27
Go he should, if he were the Devil,
until he broke the law.

:47:30
-Now you give the Devil benefit of law!
-Yes, what would you do?

:47:33
Cut a road through the law
to get after the Devil?

:47:36
Yes. I'd cut down every law in England
to do that.

:47:39
And when the last law was down,
and the Devil turned on you...

:47:42
...where would you hide, Roper,
the laws all being flat?

:47:45
This country is planted with laws
from coast to coast...

:47:48
...Man's laws, not God's,
and if you cut them down...

:47:51
...and you're just the man to do it...
:47:53
...do you really think you could stand
upright in the wind that would blow then?

:47:58
Yes.
:47:59
I give the Devil benefit of law
for my own safety's sake.
