Quotes 

• King John : I am the blood! I am God's right hand! And you will never dictate to me how I am to be a king!

• King John : Do you know that when I was child, I once secretly ate every urn of my father's beloved honey peaches. And the next day he brought before me a servant girl that he had accused of the crime. And he placed her hand on the table and he drew his knife. And he delivered the punishment. And that night, unable to contain my shame, I confessed to him that it was I, his son who had committed the crime. But you know what his response to me was? He said: "I know. I know. And that is why I only cut off her finger. You see John, any action against the throne must be punished ruthlessly, for that is the only way to maintain the absolute power of a King."
