He's been to Mistress Anne Boleyn.
:11:08
More, are you going to help me?
:11:14
If Your Grace will be specific.
:11:18
You're a plodder! All right, we'll plod.
:11:22
The King wants a son.
What are you going to do about it?

:11:25
I'm very sure the King needs no advice
from me on what to do about it.

:11:30
Thomas, we're alone.
I give you my word, there's no one here.

:11:33
I didn't suppose there was, Your Grace.
:11:39
Do you favour a change of dynasty?
Do you think two Tudors are sufficient?

:11:42
For God's sake, Your Grace!
:11:44
Then he needs a son. I repeat,
what are you going to do about it?

:11:47
I pray for it daily.
:11:48
God's death, he means it.
:11:51
That thing out there, at least she's fertile.
:11:55
-But she's not his wife.
-No, Catherine's his wife...

:11:58
...and she's barren as a brick.
Are you going to pray for a miracle?

:12:01
There are precedents.
:12:06
All right. Good. Pray by all means.
:12:11
But in addition to prayer there is effort.
And my effort is to secure a divorce.

:12:20
Have I your support, or have I not?
:12:26
The Pope gave a dispensation,
so that the King might marry...

:12:29
...his brother's widow for state reasons.
:12:33
We are to ask the Pope to dispense with
his dispensation, also for state reasons?

:12:38
I don't like plodding, Thomas. Well?
:12:40
Then, clearly all we have to do is
to approach His Holiness and ask him.

:12:44
I think we might influence
the decision of His Holiness.

:12:48
By argument?
:12:49
Argument certainly. And pressure.
:12:54
Pressure, applied to the Church?
The Church has its church property.
