Max Brown: King Robert

Quotes 

• King Robert : [to everyone present at his bachelor party]  Centuries ago, the king relied on his noblemen to maintain order and stability across his kingdom, a territorial cadence. Once I have a system of governance in place, each of you will have a share of my reign. And the price that you'll pay for it is a price you're already paying, loyalty. To king and country!

• King Robert : You had your fun dear uncle. Now it's time for you to go back to obscurity.

  Cyrus : Of course. I'll go. But before I do let me just say this. I've been the king and I've occupied the throne and when I did, I didn't give two s--ts about any of you dickheads and neither does he. Your deal with the devil is just that. What happens when Adolf junior decides to change the rules? When he wants what you have? When you disagree with him? Parliament protects you. The house of lords affords you a voice, not this asshole. I know because I was that asshole. Stand with me. Push back. Hell, someone kill this arrogant son of a bitch before he tries to take over the world. The time for violence is now!

  [Prince Liam smashes a wine bottle over his uncle's head and starts to punch him] 

  Prince Liam : [yelling as he punches Cyrus on the floor]  You want violence, I'll give you violence!

• Prince Liam : [to King Robert]  You once told me nothing is so broken it can't be fixed.

  King Robert : [snapping back]  I didn't mean this. This is the part of you that holds you down. You have a soft spot for lost causes.

  Prince Liam : You also told me nothing is more important than family.

  King Robert : [to Prince Liam]  When he steps out of line you deal with it. Otherwise, you're both gone.

  [to Cyrus] 

  King Robert : Enjoy your night, old man. Then back to exile you go.

• Prince Liam : I'm sorry you had to hear that, brother.

  King Robert : It's okay. You did what you had to do. Now it's done.

• King Robert : You're going to make your excuses and go.

  Cyrus : [annoyed]  For god sakes, Robbie. Am I really such a threat to you tonight?

  King Robert : No, you're not a threat ever but you conspired against me, and for that, you sacrifice tonight and every night.

  Cyrus : So did Liam and you let that little asshole stay.

  Prince Liam : [walking up to Cyrus]  It's nice to see you too.

  Cyrus : [taunting Prince Liam]  Coming to be big brother's bitch and throw me out?

  Prince Liam : Actually I was coming over to defend you, you dick.
