Quotes 

• Richard : [the sons - in the dungeon - think they hear Henry approach]  He's here. He'll get no satisfaction out of me. He isn't going to see me beg.

  Geoffrey : My you chivalric fool... as if the way one fell down mattered.

  Richard : When the fall is all there is, it matters.

• Geoffrey : I know. You know I know. I know you know I know. We know Henry knows, and Henry knows we know it. We're a knowledgeable family.

• Geoffrey : [to John]  If you're a prince, there's hope for every ape in Africa.

• Eleanor of Aquitaine : And that's to be the king.

  Geoffrey : And I'm to be his Chancellor. Has he told you? John will rule the country, while I run it. That is to say he gets to spend the taxes that I raise.

  Eleanor of Aquitaine : How nice for you.

  Geoffrey : It's not as nice as being king.

  Henry II : We've made you Duke of Brittany, is that so little?

  Geoffrey : No one ever thinks of crown and mentions Geoff, why is that?

  Henry II : Isn't being chancellor power enough?

  Geoffrey : It's not the power I feel deprived of; it's the mention I miss. There's no affection for me here; you wouldn't think I'd want that, would you?

• Philip II : "What If" is a game for scholars. What if angels sat on pinheads?

  Geoffrey : What if I were king?

  Philip II : It's your game, Geoff. You play it.

• Geoffrey : You don't think of me much.

  Henry II : Much? I don't think of you at all

• Geoffrey : Warn him, it's the end of us. You warn him not, it's the end of him. It's that clear.
