• The Duke of Norfolk : Are you arresting me?

  [Hertford nods] 

  The Duke of Norfolk : Well, I've been in the court of the Tudors for 40 years. I suppose it's about my turn. May I ask on what charge?

  Hertford : High treason, my lord.

  The Duke of Norfolk : Oh, most flattering. A belted earl to arrest me. A guard of yeomen to convert me to the Tower, thereafter to the block... these are royal honours.

  Hertford : My Lord?

  The Duke of Norfolk : I thought such distinguished treatment was reserved for His Majesty's unfortunate wives.

• The Duke of Norfolk : Do you know what death really means - it's a cure for rheumatism.
