King Francis Quotes in Ever After: A Cinderella Story (1998)

King Francis: Baroness. Did you or did you not - lie to Her Majesty, the Queen of France?

Queen Marie: Choose your words wisely, madame, for they may be your last.

Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: A woman would do practically anything for the love of a daughter, Your Majesties. Perhaps I did get... a little carried away.

Marguerite: Mother, what have you done? Your Majesty, like you, I am just a victim here. She has lied to us both and I am ashamed to call her family.

Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent: [pushes her] How dare you turn on me, you little ingrate?

Marguerite: You see? You see what I have to put up with?

King Francis: Silence, both of you! Good Lord!

[to Jacqueline]

King Francis: Are they always like this?

Jacqueline: Worse, Your Majesty.

King Francis: [half-asleep] Off... with his head...

Henry: Mother, Father, I want to build a university, with the largest library on the continent, where anyone can study, no matter their station!

King Francis: You are the Crown Prince of France!

Henry: And it is my life.

Queen Marie: Francis, sit down before you have a stroke. Really. the two of you.

[to Henry]

Queen Marie: Sweetheart... you were born to privilege and with that comes specific obligations.

Henry: Forgive me, Mother, but marriage to a complete stranger never made anyone in this room very happy.
