Ned Seymour Quotes in Young Bess (1953)

Prince Edward: [muttering to Tom about Uncle Ned, who rules while Edward is King as a minor] I wish he'd die.

Thomas Seymour: What? What was that?

Prince Edward: I said, I wish he'd die. D-Y-E.

Thomas Seymour: It's the wrong spelling.

Prince Edward: [nonchalant] Oh, is it?

Ned Seymour: What is Your Majesty talking about?

Prince Edward: Spelling. Nobody knows for certain how to spell the King's English.

Ned Seymour: The spelling is not important, so long as the word carries the right meaning.

Thomas Seymour: The word His Majesty had *exactly* the right meaning.
