Movie Dialogue Sample
00:47:04,988 --> 00:47:08,488
That's why she spent the evening
wooing Richard, wheezing on the coals.
529
00:47:08,529 --> 00:47:11,988
She'll squeeze it out of him. My
God, I'd have loved to eavesdrop.
530
00:47:12,029 --> 00:47:16,028
"I taught you prancing, lamb,
and lute and flute..."
531
00:47:16,987 --> 00:47:20,028
That's marvelous.
532
00:47:20,987 --> 00:47:22,070
It's absolutely me.
533
00:47:22,987 --> 00:47:25,987
I thought as long as I was
coming down, I'd bring them.
534
00:47:26,028 --> 00:47:28,028
Whatever are you giving me?
535
00:47:28,070 --> 00:47:30,070
You're such a child.
You always ask.
536
00:47:30,986 --> 00:47:32,986
"To Henry."
537
00:47:33,027 --> 00:47:34,944
Heavy.
538
00:47:34,986 --> 00:47:37,986
It's my tombstone!
Eleanor, you spoil me.
539
00:47:38,027 --> 00:47:39,986
I never could
deny you anything.
540
00:47:40,111 --> 00:47:44,569
Don't go. It nettles her
to see how much I need you.
541
00:47:44,611 --> 00:47:49,068
You need me, Henry, like a
tailor needs a tinker's dam.
542
00:47:50,068 --> 00:47:52,901
Oh, I know that look.
543
00:47:52,943 --> 00:47:54,943
He's going to say he loves me.
544
00:47:54,985 --> 00:47:57,110
Like my life.
545
00:48:01,942 --> 00:48:04,900
I talk that way
to keep her spirits up.
546
00:48:04,942 --> 00:48:08,942
Well, how'd you do with
Richard? Did you break his heart?
547
00:48:08,984 --> 00:48:11,900
You think he ought to
give me back the Aquitaine?
548
00:48:11,942 --> 00:48:15,149
I can't see why he shouldn't. After
all, I've promised him the throne.
549
00:48:15,941 --> 00:48:20,148
The boy keeps wondering
if your promises are any good.
550
00:48:20,149 --> 00:48:24,191
There's no sense asking if the air's
good when there's nothing else to breathe.
551
00:48:24,233 --> 00:48:26,941
Exactly what I told him.
552
00:48:27,191 --> 00:48:31,940
Have you got it?
Will he give it back?
553
00:48:31,982 --> 00:48:34,940
No Aquitaine for John.
554
00:48:41,232 --> 00:48:45,897
I have to give him something.
Isn't some agreement possible?
555
00:48:45,939 --> 00:48:50,189
Love, in a world where carpenters
get resurrected, anything is possible.
556
00:48:50,231 --> 00:48:53,564
You bore him, damn it.
He's your son!
557
00:48:53,606 --> 00:48:56,856
Oh, heavens, yes.
280 days I bore him.
558
00:48:56,897 --> 00:48:59,188
I recall them all.
559
00:48:59,230 --> 00:49:01,854
You'd only just found Rosamund.
560
00:49:01,855 --> 00:49:05,855
Why her so damn particularly?
I've found other women.
561
00:49:07,271 --> 00:49:09,271
Countless others.
562
00:49:09,855 --> 00:49:11,271
What's your count?
563
00:49:11,855 --> 00:49:15,312
Let's have a tally of the
bedspreads you've spread out on.
564
00:49:17,854 --> 00:49:20,854
Thomas Beckett's.
That's a lie.
565
00:49:21,895 --> 00:49:27,312
I know.
You still care what I do.
566
00:49:27,354 --> 00:49:30,353
I want the Aquitaine for John!
I want it, and I'll have it.
567
00:49:30,394 --> 00:49:33,353
Is that menace you're
conveying? Is it to be torture?
568
00:49:33,894 --> 00:49:37,893
Will you boil me or stretch me...
which? Or am I to be perforated?
569
00:49:37,894 --> 00:49:40,353
I have the documents,
and you will sign.
570
00:49:40,394 --> 00:49:44,393
How will you force me to... threats?
"Sign or I refuse to feed you."
571
00:49:44,435 --> 00:49:49,852
Tears? "Oh, sign before
my heart goes crack."
572
00:49:49,893 --> 00:49:53,852
I'm like the earth, old man...
there isn't any way around me.
573
00:49:54,435 --> 00:49:55,893
I adore you.
574
00:49:56,435 --> 00:49:59,434
Save your aching arches.
That road's closed.
575
00:50:00,892 --> 00:50:02,892
I have an offer for you,
my dear.
576
00:50:02,934 --> 00:50:05,434
A deal? A deal?
577
00:50:05,476 --> 00:50:10,476
I give the richest province on
the continent to John for what?
578
00:50:10,892 --> 00:50:14,516
You tell me,
mastermind, for what.
579
00:50:17,891 --> 00:50:19,850
Your freedom.
580
00:50:26,557 --> 00:50:28,890
Oh.
581
00:50:29,557 --> 00:50:31,997
Once Johnny gets the Aquitaine,
you're free. I'll let you out.
582
00:50:32,015 --> 00:50:35,849
Think: On the loose in london,
winters in provence,
583
00:50:35,890 --> 00:50:38,890
impromptu trips to visit Richard
anywhere he's killing people...
584
00:50:39,890 --> 00:50:43,848
all that for a signature.
585
00:50:43,889 --> 00:50:48,806
- You're good.
- I thought it might appeal. You always fancied traveling.
586
00:50:48,848 --> 00:50:50,764
Yes.
587
00:50:50,806 --> 00:50:54,806
I even made poor Louis
take me on crusade.
588
00:50:54,848 --> 00:50:57,555
How's that for blasphemy?
589
00:50:57,597 --> 00:51:02,805
I dressed my maids as amazons and
rode bare-breasted halfway to damascus.
590
00:51:02,847 --> 00:51:05,805
Louis had a seizure, and I
damn near died
