I miss you like the sun misses the flower. Like the sun misses the flower in the depths of winter. Instead of beauty to direct it's light to the heart hardens like the frozen world your absence has banished me to.

We're the sons of peasants. Glory, and riches, and stars are beyond our grasps. But a full stomach, that dream can come true!

Scenes with Wat Falhurst
10 scenesI'm a writer.
A what?
A wha- a what? A writer. I write, with ink and parchment. Geoffrey Chaucer's the name, writing's the game. You've read my book? the Book of the Duchess? No? Well, it was allegorical.
Well, we won't hold that against you, that's for every man to decide for himself.
What do you mean, dead?
The spark of his life is smothered in shite. His spirit is gone but his stench remains. Does that answer your question?
I've waited my whole life for this moment.
You've waited your whole life for Sir Ector to shite himself to death?
You were never robbed, were you?
Look, I have a gambling problem. I can't help myself. And these people will - quite literally - take off clothes of your back.
What are you expecting us to do about it?
He assured us that you, his liege, would pay us.
And who are you?

How much does he owe you?
Ten gold florins.
You lanky git! :[attacks Chaucer]
Hey! Hey, Wat - let him go! [Pulls Wat off him]
What would you do to him, if I was to refuse?
We, on behalf of the lord God, would take it out of his flesh, so that he may understand that gambling is a sin.
:[pleading] Oh, come on, please, Will...
...please, will you help me, Sir Ulrich? I promise you won't regret it.
I don't have the money.
Release him. For God's sake, give him back his clothes, and you'll get it.
Done.
Wat, you remember church as a boy, the fear, the passion! That what she makes me feel. And for that I say my rosary to Jocelyn and no one else.
William, that's blasphemous.
I don't understand women.
Nor do I. But they understand us. Well, maybe not you.
I think he's getting worse.
He is getting worse.
I've come to see what you'll wear to banquet tonight.
Nothing.
Well, then we'll cause a sensation, for I'll dress to match.
Don't you ever get tired of putting on clothes?
A flower is only as good as its petals. Don't you think?
A flower is good for nothing.
Really?
You can't eat a flower, a flower can't keep your warm...
And a rose never knocked a man off a horse either.
You're just a silly girl, aren't you?
Better a silly girl with a flower, than a silly boy with a horse and a stick... [walks away]
It's called a lance... hello... ?
Say something about her breasts.
Yeah, you miss her breasts.
Her breasts?
Ye... yes, you... you could, umm... umm... but I... I would tend to look above her breasts, William.
Her throat?
Uh, still higher really, toward the heavens.
The moon at least, her breasts were not that impressive.
You have been weighed.
You have been measured.
And you have absolutely...
Been found wanting.
Welcome to a New World. God save you, if it is right that he should do so.
