More than fair looks and a kind heart.

Sir Thomas Boleyn: I received a request for marriage today for Anne from the Carey family. William, their eldest son.

Lady Elizabeth: Oh, that's wonderful.

Sir Thomas Boleyn: I turned it down. Offered them Mary instead. Everyone improves the standing of their family with their daughters. I think Anne can do better than a merchant's son.

Lady Elizabeth: And Mary can't? I think you underestimate her.

Sir Thomas Boleyn: Oh no, that's not true. I think she's the kinder of the two, quite possibly the fairer. To get ahead in this world, you need more than fair looks and a kind heart.

The art of being a woman.

Now go to France. The queen of France is sophisticated. Be useful to her, amuse her. She'll admire your spirit. Learn from her. Observe the ladies of the court. See how they achieve what they want from their men, not by stamping their little feet but by allowing the men to believe that they, indeed, are in charge. That is the art of being a woman.

Because I like you and trust you.

Mary Boleyn: So, this is it?... Where the king of England sleeps?

King Henry VIII: And reads and writes. Finds a few moments each day to himself.

Mary Boleyn: And yet you invite me here?

King Henry VIII: Because I like you and trust you.

Mary Boleyn: You hardly know me.

King Henry VIII: I am lied to a hundred times a day. Petitioned. Lobbied. One learns how to decifer a face. Yours is as the sun. One shouldn't gaze too long.

My flattery makes you uncomfortable?... Because compliments in your family are usually for some else. The elder sister... That's something I understand. What it is to be the second child. Forever in the shadows... I'm making you uncomfortable again.

Don't know what you said or did!

Mary Boleyn: Mother, please! Speak to father... Do something... I don't want to go!

Lady Elizabeth: This is not a request. We have been summoned.

Mary Boleyn: Please don't be angry with me... You think I desired to go for this purpose?

Anne Boleyn: All I know is that a man who didn't know who you were was with you in that room for a half-hour and came out besotted! Don't know what you said or did!

Mary Boleyn: Nothing sister! Except sing your praises and talk about my husband.

Anne Boleyn: Really? Well, you must show me how you did that sometime!

Well perhaps you should stop.

Mary Boleyn: Anne.

Anne Boleyn: I meant to come sooner. I'm sorry I did not. I've been kept occupied.

Mary Boleyn: So I hear: amusing the king.

Anne Boleyn: Only that sister, I assure you; despite his best efforts...

Mary Boleyn: What, and not yours?

Anne Boleyn: How is it?

Mary Boleyn: The child is strong, gives me no rest, like his father.

Anne Boleyn: Do you feel as awful as you look? You know, in France, no woman would allow herself to get in such a state.

Mary Boleyn: Why did you come Anne, if all you desire is to torment me?

Anne Boleyn: Perhaps now you know how it feels: to be deceived by your sister.

Mary Boleyn: I did nothing.

Anne Boleyn: You stole the king away, and then you betrayed me over Henry Percy!

Mary Boleyn: If that's what you think fine tell yourself that!

Anne Boleyn: I did sister, every day and every night I was in exile.

King's Messenger: A gift, from the king.

Anne Boleyn: Give it to my sister.

King's Messenger: It's for you mistress Anne.

Anne Boleyn: Me? Then send it back! Immediately!

Anne Boleyn: How dare he! See? I have your interest at heart.

Mary Boleyn: Why? Why this cruelty? You know I love him.

Anne Boleyn: Well perhaps you should stop.

While I'm in exile.

Sir Thomas Boleyn: You will be sent to France and stay there until you've learned your lesson.

Anne Boleyn: What? No! Father, please!

Sir Thomas Boleyn: How can you have done this? You knew full well that Mary's friendship with the king is at an extremely delicate state! Any scandal, any mark upon her name could be fatal!

The Duke of Norfolk: You will be sent to join the court of the French queen and stay there until your father has forgiven you.

Anne Boleyn: You told them didn't you?

Mary Boleyn: It was for your own good. You never would have gotten away with it. It would have ruined your prospects forever.

Anne Boleyn: Really? For my good? Well, I'll try to remind myself of that while I'm in exile, and you're here in the king's bed, not challenged for our father's affection! That it was for my good and not yours!

Sweet Jesus have mercy on me

Masters, I here humble submit to the law, as the law hath judged me. As for my offenses, God knows them, and I remit them to God, beseeching Him to have mercy on my soul. I beseech Jesus, save my Sovereign and master, the King, the goodliest and gentlest master there ever was. Sweet Jesus, my God, have mercy on me.
