- John Mullens: The spread of this God-forsaken disease must stop. Make certain everything is burned... and everyone exterminated.
- Cedric Grey: I bagged three pheasants in less than an hour. They were the largest, most succulent birds you've ever seen.
- Richard Grey: So?
- Cedric Grey: So what?
- Armus Grey: So, where are they?
- Cedric Grey: I gave them to a beautiful girl... The most beautiful girl you've ever seen.
- Eleanor Grey: Cedric, every girl you meet is the most beautiful girl you've ever met.
- John Mullens: You bring good news I hope.
- Lead Henchman: We've not found them tonight, me Lord, but tomorrow at first light...
- John Mullens: Tomorrow? You'll keep searching tonight.
- Lead Henchman: We can't find them in the dark.
- John Mullens: You can't seem to find them in the light!
- 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.
- Lady Elizabeth: He's only been gone for a few hours and already I miss him. You must miss him, too... You know, it's all right to say you miss him if you do.
- Richard Grey: The display of emotion is afforded only to women.
- Lady Elizabeth: Oh, I don't know. Men readily display anger and that's an emotion.
- Richard Grey: Don't tell me what to feel!
- Lady Elizabeth: I wouldn't presume to do that. All I'm saying is that it's all right to show what you do feel.

- Eleanor Grey: Today is your birthday.
- Armus Grey: We wanted to surprise you with a special gift.
- Richard Grey: We have nothing for you.
- Sir Thomas Grey: I have a special gift. We are all here together and that is worth more to me than anything in the whole world. Let us give thanks.
