- Mary Tudor: Tell me what is happening in Court. Is the King thinking of marrying again?
- Ambassador Bishop Chapuys: There is a new law enacted. It requires that any lady the king may marry must - on pain of death - disclose any charge of sexual misconduct that might be brought against her. Frankly, my lady, this lowers the field. The ladies at court are... how you say?... not exactly known for their virtue.
- King Henry VIII: [Angrily to Edawrd Seymour] If I were you, I would not think if thinking draws you to the wrong conclusion!
- Catherine Parr: [to Thomas Seymour] As surely as God is God, I desire to marry you above all others.
- Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey: [Playing cards] You play very well, Mr. Leigh. Always the sign of a wasted life.
- Catherine Parr: [Talking about her first husbabd] It was not a happy marriage, Your Majesty.
- King Henry VIII: [laughs ironically] Do you think such a thing exists?
- Catherine Parr: [Smiling radiantly] Yes, I believe that with all my heart and soul.
