King Henry viii: Why are you here for her?
Mary Boleyn: Because she is my sister, and therefore one half of me.
Lady Elizabeth: When was it that people stopped thinking of ambition as a sin and started thinking of it as a virtue?
The Duke of Norfolk: You better get used to talking about it, when you sleep with the king it ceases to be a private matter.
King Henry viii: I have torn this country apart for you.
Anne Boleyn: For which you should thank me, not be angry.
King Henry viii: Broken with Rome.
Anne Boleyn: Freed yourself, more like, from the decadence of a corrupt church.
King Henry viii: Got rid of a good woman in the queen.
Anne Boleyn: And with Spanish blood shackles you to Rome.
King Henry viii: Of which I would be excommunicated.
Anne Boleyn: And instead, become head of a new church! The Church of England.
Mary Boleyn: How can you show your face in here? My own sister... take care, because he would only do to you what he has done to me.
Anne Boleyn: You should not have given yourself so lightly, these are the consequences.
Mary Boleyn: I gave myself to a man I loved, and he loved me.
Anne Boleyn: A man's love is worthless. Our mother's loved, look where it got her, a feeble husband. Love is of no value without power and position. If I gave the king a son, he would not be a bastard.
King Henry viii: Anne.
Anne Boleyn: Your Grace?
King Henry viii: You received my gifts?
Anne Boleyn: Yes.
King Henry viii: And? Do they not please you?
Anne Boleyn: On the contrary, my lord, they please me greatly.
King Henry viii: Then why do you insult me by returning them?
Anne Boleyn: Because you insult me by sending them at all.
Jane Parker: Put yourself in the queen's shoes. She knows the only reason the king's asked you here is because he desires you. She's a good woman, trust me.
George Boleyn: It's embarrassing.
Anne Boleyn: Look, she has her eye on you. Sweet Jane Parker would be a match to please our father.
George Boleyn: Ugh, vile girl, she's the most ambitious little servant in court.
Anne Boleyn: She can't stop watching.
King Henry viii: Anne, have you considered what I've asked? Is there hope?
Anne Boleyn: How could I ever trust you, when I've seen how you betray first your wife, now my sister?
William Stafford: If you came with me, I would never betray you or take you for granted.
Mary Boleyn: It's impossible, you know that. My family would never allow it.
William Stafford: And you would care what they think after everything they've done to you?
Answer: The information on the corrections page is inaccurate. Mary Boleyn married William Carey in 1520. Because her exact birth date is unknown, no one knows how old she was when she married. It was shortly after her wedding that she began her affair with Henry VIII. It is also unknown if either of the two children she bore during this time were fathered by Henry, though there was certainly a high probability that he sired one or both. However, Henry never publicly acknowledged either child, unlike the illegitimate son he had with another mistress. The events in the film and book are fictional, and they vary from the historical facts. It is never mentioned in the film that Mary had a second child, either by Henry or William Carey.
