Edward VI

 

King Edward VI :

I just don't see why. 

John Dudley :

Then I must make you see.

 

King Edward VI :
You see, My Cousin Trusts Me. 

I must not betray that trust.

John Dudley :

Your Grace, The Battle isn't won. 

The Battle started by Your Father 

must be carried on by you. 

The Reformation of Your Church is still incomplete, 

the danger that your country could relapse 

into a pit of popery still great. 

I cannot tell you why it matters that 

my son should marry Jane. 

All I can do is beg Your Grace to Trust me. 

King Edward VI :

Then you'd better fetch my men to get me dressed. 

John. I do know I'm dying. 

You will not marry Guilford Dudley? 

Without Your Family, What are You? 

No one. Nothing. 

What makes you dare to think 

you can choose whom to obey?

My love! - Yes, what? 

Our Daughter has A Visitor. 

Your Grace. 

King Edward VI :

We would like to speak, madam, 

to our cousin Jane. Alone. 

Alone. 

King Edward VI :

My Lady Jane. No, no. 

I wasn't whipped.

 

They had A Boy. 

If I did something bad, 

they beat him in my place. See? 

You should have been born 

heir to The Throne.

Though, in a way it made it rather worse. 

You understand? 

But it was His Duty, as it was mine 

to suffer for his suffering in my stead. 

As it is yours now to obey 

Your Parents and Your King.

Lady Jane Grey :

Why must you do what he tells you?

King Edward VI :

Who? 

Lady Jane Grey :

John Dudley. 

King Edward VI :

Because I Trust him. 

Look, I brought you something. 

Lady Jane Grey :

What is it? 

King Edward VI :

A Puppet. 

You pull the cords and it dances. 

Lady Jane Grey :

Let me try. Oh, look, it does. 

It works. 

King Edward VI :

Of course it works. 

Lady Jane Grey :

Look, I can make it bow. 

King Edward VI :

So I should think. 

Lady Jane Grey :

Oh, Edward. Oh, it's wonderful. 

King Edward VI :

All better now? 

Lady Jane Grey :

All better now. 

King Edward VI :

Now promise... 

That you'll marry him. For me.
