    King Henry VIII: Because I like you and trust you.

    King Henry VIII: Yours is as the sun. One shouldn't gaze too long.

    [pauses]

    [Mary takes his hand and he kisses it]

  • Sir Thomas Boleyn: [regarding the punishment for Anne's secret marriage] You will be sent to France and stay there until you've learned your lesson.

    Anne Boleyn: What? No! Father, please!

    Sir Thomas Boleyn: How can you have done this? You knew full well that Mary's friendship with the king is at an extremely delicate state! Any scandal, any mark upon her name could be fatal!

    Anne Boleyn: [crying, runs into the hall where Mary is waiting] You told them didn't you?

    Anne Boleyn: Don't know what you said or did!

    Mary Boleyn: Nothing sister! Except sing your praises and talk about my husband.

    Anne Boleyn: Really? Well, you must show me how you did that sometime!

    [leaves the room]

    Sir Thomas Boleyn: You hear that Mary? Privy Council, tending upon his Majesty himself

    Mary Boleyn: What about our future in the country?

    The Duke of Norfolk: Oh, you must put that out of your mind. From now on your future is at court.

    Mary Boleyn: William please, don't you understand what this means? They'll seperate us, put me in different accommadation where the king can always find me
