1:28:00
Oh, confound all this! I'm not a scholar.
1:28:02
I don't know if the marriage
was lawful or not...

1:28:04
...but damn it, Thomas,
look at these names.

1:28:07
Why can't you do as I did,
and come with us, for fellowship?

1:28:11
And when we die, and you are sent
to heaven for doing your conscience...

1:28:15
...and I am sent to hell for not doing mine,
will you come with me, for fellowship?

1:28:21
So, those of us whose names are there,
are damned, Sir Thomas?

1:28:24
I have no window to look into
another man's conscience.

1:28:27
I condemn no one.
1:28:29
-Then the matter is capable of question?
-Certainly.

1:28:31
But that you owe obedience to the King
is not capable of question.

1:28:34
So weigh a doubt against a certainty
and sign.

1:28:40
Some men think the earth is round,
others think it flat.

1:28:45
It is a matter capable of question.
1:28:49
But if it is flat,
will the King's command make it round?

1:28:53
And if it is round,
will the King's command flatten it?

1:28:57
No, I will not sign.
1:29:00
Then you have more regard for
your own doubt than the King's command?

1:29:03
-For myself I have no doubt.
-No doubt of what?

1:29:06
No doubt that I will not take this oath.
1:29:08
But why I will not, you,
Master Secretary, will not trick out of me.

1:29:12
I might get it out of you in other ways.
1:29:16
You threaten like a dockside bully.
1:29:19
How should I threaten?
1:29:20
Like a minister of state, with justice!
1:29:25
Justice is what you're threatened with.
1:29:27
Then I am not threatened.
1:29:35
Gentlemen, can't I go to bed?
1:29:38
Aye. The prisoner may retire
as he requests.

1:29:40
-Unless you--
-I see no purpose in prolonging this.

1:29:47
Then, goodnight, Thomas.
1:29:55
May I have one or two more books?
1:29:58
Why, you have books?
