Scenes with King Henry
3 scenes King Henry VIII [talking in secret]
Your sister is gone as you wished. Will you give yourself to me now?
No. When you are loyal to me above all others.
King Henry VIII But, I am.
No. You are loyal to the queen above all others.
King Henry VIII I barely see Catherine.
But she sits on a throne beside you. Your right hand in matters of state.
King Henry VIII For appearances sake only.
Still, she is your queen. And ever present.
[pauses]
I feel her eyes on me. And those of her spies. Look at us. Forever reduced to meeting in secret like this. Speaking in whispers. Hardly conducive to passion.
King Henry VIII What you have me do then?
King Henry VIII What's so amusing?
I was merely offering my thoughts on the new French king. With such great power, yet such meager authority as a man.
King Henry VIII Continue.
His pettiness is astounding. He will bear a mortal grudge at the mildest of slights. Spoiled cub with a spike in his paw. Riveted with resentment. Unable to forgive or forget. A great king, a great man rises above such things.
King Henry VIII And what would you know of great men?
I've read enough books and heard enough talk to believe I'd know one if he were before me.
King Henry VIII Then look about you. I am curious. Do you see one here?
Looking my lord... still looking, my lord.
King Henry VIII [laughs to himself as the subjects in the room start to laugh]
King Henry VIII And reads and writes. Finds a few moments each day to himself.
King Henry VIII Because I like you and trust you.
You hardly know me.
King Henry VIII I am lied to a hundred times a day. Petitioned. Lobbied. One learns how to decipher a face.
King Henry VIII [caresses Mary's face]
Yours is as the sun. One shouldn't gaze too long.
King Henry VIII [pauses]
My flattery makes you uncomfortable?... Because compliments in your family are usually for someone else. The elder sister... That's something I understand. What it is to be the second child. Forever in the shadows... I'm making you uncomfortable again.
[Mary smiles, shaking her head as Henry leans in and kisses her]
