Henry V Quotes
Becky: Did you really kill your mama?
Henry: I guess I did.
Becky: How'd it happen?
Henry: I stabbed her.
Becky: Otis said you hit her with a baseball bat.
Henry: Otis said that?
Becky: Yeah.
Henry: Well, he's mistaken.
Becky: Well don't tell him I told you. He made me promise. [pause]
Becky: She must have treated you real bad.
Henry: She was a whore. My mama was a whore. But I don't fault her for that. It ain't what she done, but how she done it. Long as I can remember, she'd bring men up to the house. My daddy was there too, but it didn't matter none to her. She'd make me watch.
Becky: That's creepy.
Henry: She'd beat me too. A lot. She'd beat me when I wouldn't watch it. And sometimes she'd beat me, and make me wear a dress, and watch her doin' it. Then they'd laugh at me.
Becky: She made you wear a dress?
Henry: You think I'm lyin?
Becky: I feel like I know you, like I've known you for a long time. I feel like I've known you forever and ever.
Henry: Yeah. I killed my mama. One night. It was my 14th birthday. She was drunk, and we had an argument. She hit me with a whiskey bottle. I shot her. I shot her dead.

Katherine Howard: Who's there?
King Henry VIII: Henry.
Katherine Howard: Henry who?
King Henry VIII: The King.
Katherine Howard: Oh, the King, not the man.
King Henry VIII: Unlock the door.
Katherine Howard: Isn't it rather late for a maid to unlock her door to a... man?
King Henry VIII: On, come on, unlock the door.
Katherine Howard: Is that a command?
King Henry VIII: Yes.
Katherine Howard: To the King, then, not the man. [lets him in and kneels]
King Henry VIII: Don't do that. I'm leaving me crown outside.
Katherine Howard: You've left it outside with my reputation, sire.
King Henry VIII: No one saw me, Katherine, I swear. Can't you forget the King and forget the crown, forget everything... you told me once I was a man, uh? What do you say if I'm not the King?
Katherine Howard: Get out of my room!
King Henry VIII: What?! Whyyy...
Katherine Howard: That's what I *would* say, if you were not the King. Since you are the King, I expect your command.
King Henry VIII: Command? It's a poor thing to command in love.
Katherine Howard: Love? Who is in love?
King Henry VIII: I am, with you.
Katherine Howard: Love eternal, since yesterday afternoon, until tomorrow morning?
King Henry VIII: When I say love, I mean love.
King Henry VIII: Henry.
Katherine Howard: Henry who?
