Mary Boleyn:
[in Henry's bedchamber]
So, this is it?... Where the king of England sleeps?
King Henry VIII:
And reads and writes. Finds a few moments each day to himself.
Mary Boleyn:
[nervously]
And yet you invite me here?
King Henry VIII:
Because I like you and trust you.
Mary Boleyn:
You hardly know me.
King Henry VIII:
I have lied to a hundred times a day. Petitioned. Lobbied. One learns how to decifer a face.
[caresses Mary's face]
King Henry VIII:
Yours is as the sun. One shouldn't gaze too long.
[pauses]
King Henry VIII:
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]
