Jonathan Firth: Richard Grey

Quotes 

• Richard Grey : I went to bed every night wanting to be just like you. I dreamt I was you.

  Armus Grey : I dreamt I was you.

  Richard Grey : Me?

  Armus Grey : There's nothing I would rather have been than a second son.

  Richard Grey : But that's the worst thing to be.

  Armus Grey : You're the lucky one. You can be whatever's in your heart. I had to be what was in father's heart - just as he had to be what was in his father's.

• Richard Grey : They are serving food in the Great Hall, you know.

  Armus Grey : It may be something one ingests by mouth, brother, but it's certainly not food. Besides which I couldn't bear to spend another moment in the same room with John Mullens. His disposition hasn't improved over the years.

  Eleanor Grey : You don't know the half of it.

  Armus Grey : [referring to the lovely Alexandra Mullens]  And who, by the way, is that creature with him? And more importantly, why?

• Richard Grey : Why didn't you shoot?

  Armus Grey : I couldn't.

  Richard Grey : What do you mean "you couldn't"?

  Armus Grey : I'm not the kind of knight you think I am, Richard.

• [Richard and Eleanor gather arms for their counterattack against the bandits] 

  Richard Grey : Help if you want to, brother, and if you don't - stay in the kitchen. Just don't get in the way.
