Quotes
-
John Mullens : Your son happened to help some peasants escape from my land. He's given them refuge on yours.
Sir Thomas Grey : Have they done something wrong?
John Mullens : Not exactly.
Sir Thomas Grey : If they're no longer on your property, what does it matter to you where they go?
John Mullens : In ordinary circumstances, it wouldn't, but these particular peasants happen to carry... the plague. I'm concerned about it spreading and infecting every peasant in the land.
Sir Thomas Grey : What concerns you is that if your villagers die, you'll have no one to work your fields and bring in your crops.
-
Cedric Grey : Don't you dare touch them or...
John Mullens : Or what?
Sir Thomas Grey : Or you risk being infected yourself.
John Mullens : Me? Catch the plague? I can't - I'm a nobleman. Only the poor and retched die from it.
Sir Thomas Grey : My wife died from it.
-
Sir Thomas Grey : Do you know the danger?
Cedric Grey : I was careful not to get too close.
Sir Thomas Grey : No one knows how close too close is!
-
Lady Elizabeth : Thomas?
Sir Thomas Grey : What are you doing up?
Lady Elizabeth : I was about to ask you the same question.
Sir Thomas Grey : I didn't want to wake you.
Lady Elizabeth : That wasn't the question.
Sir Thomas Grey : What was the question?
-
Lady Elizabeth : Please don't go. It's much too much of a risk.
Sir Thomas Grey : I would risk battle against 100 swords for any of my children - I must risk this for my son.
Lady Elizabeth : I couldn't bear to lose you.
Sir Thomas Grey : Nor I him.
