Young Anne Quotes in The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)

Sir Thomas Boleyn: [first lines - strolling through the woods with his wife while the children playfully race through the sunlit fields] I received a request for marriage today for Anne from the Carey family. William, their eldest son.

Lady Elizabeth: Oh, that's wonderful.

Sir Thomas Boleyn: I turned it down. Offered them Mary instead. Everyone improves the standing of their family with their daughters. I think Anne can do better than a merchant's son.

Lady Elizabeth: [exasperated exhalation] And Mary can't? I think you underestimate her.

Sir Thomas Boleyn: Oh no, that's not true. I think she's the kinder of the two, quite possibly the fairer. To get ahead in this world, you need more than fair looks and a kind heart.

Young Anne: [after overtaking Mary] I beat you, I beat you!

Young Mary: Hey!

[all three children then fall down in a heap laughing]

Sir Thomas Boleyn: Well done, Anne. Well done, children.
