• Sir John Gates : Why let them get such a start?

  Earl of Warwick : As a soldier, Gates, I've won several campaigns always by waiting till the enemy made a mistake. There will be many mistakes made in this realm in the next few years. And much profit to be gained by them. That is why we wait.

• Henry VIII : [On his deathbed]  A last command for you. Edward, the Prince, my son succeeds me, after him his heirs. Failing them, my daughter Mary Tudor and her heirs. Failing them, my daughter Elizabeth and her heirs. Failing them, my sister's grandchild, Jane Grey.

  Sir John Gates : Children on the throne?

  Earl of Warwick : And the power behind them...

  Henry VIII : Who speaks? Warwick? No conscience and no fear. And Edward Seymour. So great a hypocrite you deceive even yourself. And brother Thomas. Of some little wit but no judgement. Thomas, go where your wit will serve you and your lack of judgement not bring you to disaster. I know you. All of you. And I know for what you wait. But you've heard my will. Edward, Mary, Elizabeth, Jane. And I lay my curse on any that shall abuse their power over these children.

• Earl of Warwick : My Lords, you are now losing your heads in such a way as to make sure of losing them later on the scaffold.
