Quotes
-
Guilford : I thought, you see I wondered: Now that we're together, how on earth are we going to spend the days?
-
Guilford : On the night I was informed I was to be translated into untold bliss, I'd attended several taverns, witnessed a bear-baiting, and was actually located in the Suffolk stews, sampling the pleasures of a lady of the night. Thus far, I have to tell you, it had been a very good evening. Still, duty calls.
-
Guilford : The brain is a brittle organ, Jane. The slightest pressure and it snaps. It's not wrapped up in a little heart.
-
Jane : You gave them all that money and they just threw it back at you?
Guilford : Money? Do you know what's happened to the value of money?
Jane : No.
[Guilford slides Jane a coin]
Guilford : What's that?
Jane : A penny.
Guilford : No, it isn't. It's a shilling.
Jane : It can't be, shillings are made of silver.
Guilford : Should be, used to be. But not now. Which is why a shilling isn't worth a shilling any more. You've really no idea what's going on, have you?
-
Guilford : [together, sitting, face to face, half-naked] So then we will.
Jane : Oh, yes. We will.
Guilford : We'll fly.
Jane : We'll fly.
Guilford : Away, beyond their reach.
Jane : So far.
Guilford : Their touch cannot tarnish us - and at last, we will be...
Jane : Nothing.
Guilford : Nobody.
Jane : Each other's.
Guilford : Only this time, forever.
-
Guilford : God's teeth!
-
Guilford : Father, you have betrayed me.
John Dudley, Duke of Nothumberland : How, betrayed?
Guilford : You will put imperil your soul - for the sake of a few more years of miserable life!
John Dudley, Duke of Nothumberland : Well, you know, it doesn't look so miserable when you're just about to lose it.
-
Guilford : Dear God and all his saints, what am I doing here?
-
Guilford : [together, naked in bed] Did you know about it?
Jane : What?
Guilford : What we've just done.
Jane : Well, only in terms of the broadest general principles. Unlike you.
Guilford : Not exactly.
Jane : What?
Guilford : You're referring to my lady of the night.
Jane : Well, yes, I was.
Guilford : Passed out.
Jane : Who was?
Guilford : I did. Got to the bed - and then - blank. Total failure. Terrible embarrassment.
