- Charles Brandon: [to Surrey] The King does not just want France back but all his honor and his youth as well. In that, he is like me.
- King Henry VIII: Your Grace, I will appoint you commander of the armies if you have the will and the stomach for the fight.
- Charles Brandon: Majesty, I can only thank God for the chance to win honor and glory in the field. What man would not prefer to die with a sword in his hand and a cry in his throat rather than in a bed in England.
- Bishop Gardiner: [to Rich referring to the Queen] I think the King should be aware how perilous a matter it is to cherish a serpent in one's own bosom.
- Ambassador Charles de Marillac: Do you take me for a fool?
- Ambassador Bishop Chapuys: No, Excellency. You are what you are... and so am I.
- Charles Brandon: I've been told that the French consider their strong ramparts and double walls make them invulnerable to our artillery.
- King Henry VIII: Well, we shall see about that. We brought enough cannon here to conquer Hell.
- Brigitte: Why are you here... in France? This isn't your country.
- Charles Brandon: It used to be.
- Brigitte: Then, we all used to live in Eden. Doesn't mean we can go back again.
