• Humphrey : Eleanor, if I should die, know this - I've always loved you.

  Eleanor Grey : Loved me? We just met this morning.

  Humphrey : Ah, but time is irrelevant when love is eternal.

  Eleanor Grey : That's sweet, Humphrey... far-fetched, but sweet.

• [Humphrey points out the man he was told would assassinate the king] 

  Armus Grey : The Duke of Arondale - brother to the King.

  Humphrey : And my brother thinks *I'm* a disappointment.

• Richard Grey : What's the matter?

  Humphrey : What if I fail? What if I'm a coward? The king could die.

  Richard Grey : When the crucial moment comes, you'll make your decision without thinking. Only then will you know if you're a coward... or a hero.
