Lady Elizabeth: I'm curious. What's it like to know you'll never see your daughter again?
Sir Thomas: You doubt I'll find her?
Lady Elizabeth: Oh, you'll find her. In time. With enough money and men, she'll be rooted out and dragged back, I have no doubt about that. But the daughter you knew will be forever lost.
Sir Thomas: Thank you for your observation Lady Elizabeth.
Lady Elizabeth: That little girl who used to hold your hand so tightly, who listened with such awe to your stories, who loved you with unconditional devotion - that girl will be gone. The light in her eyes will never shine for you again Thomas.
Sir Thomas: Do you think I enjoy this?
Lady Elizabeth: Then don't do it.
Sir Thomas: It's the way things are done in our world.
Lady Elizabeth: Then have the courage to be the father she needs not the father the world expects of you.
Eleanor: What was mother like? I know she was kind and beautiful but what was she really like?
Cedric: Yes, what was she like?
William: Well, she liked to sing.
Richard: Politics bored but she loved a good story.
William: Especially comedies.
Richard: I never heard her complain about anything.
Eleanor: Well then she wouldn't have liked me very much.
Richard: She would have liked you more than anyone. It was courage she most admired in people. I think because she felt she had so little herself. You are the woman she wanted to be Eleanor.
Eleanor: What am I going to do?
Richard: Find the courage to do what you have to do.
