Favorite Reign Quotes
Francis: Why are you kneeling?
Bash: Because you are King and I am nothing, until you make me something.
The choice of a god parent for a royal offspring, even an illegitimate one, is more than an honor. We are speaking about who would raise my grandson in the event that neither Francis nor Lola could. I've offered. And been denied.
Catherine
Innocent men shouldn't die alone. You won't die alone.
Conde
You think you're untouchable, that your sins will stay buried, but they don't.
Nostradamus
Page: Lady Kenna requests a visit, your majesty.
King Henry: No.
Page: She requests that I inform you that she's naked under her robe.
King Henry: Send her in.
Greer: I can't be ruled by desire. It's nothing to build a life on.
Kenna: Isn't it?
Greer: You and Bash? If I have to hear one more tale of the two of you knocking your bed though the floor...
Kenna: Well, the floor is made of stone, mercifully, although we have nearly cracked the bed in two. You can't overlook passion! It's what brought us together.
Marie de Guise: Marry Francis--not some bastard who might be king some day.
Mary: His name is Sebastian.
Mary: Lola! Don't you turn your back on me. I am more than your friend. I am your Queen!
Lola: Is there something I left out, your Majesty?
Mary: You were right. It would be better if you were housed elsewhere. The better to keep you out of my sight.
I know I told you to go to Lola, but then the Plague came and you knowingly abandoned me to a nightmare. You are the King who deserted his castle and I am the Queen who was left behind, alone. Alone because of your mistakes. Of all the people you could have slept with, did it have to be one of my ladies? One of my closest friends?
Mary
Mary: Can you please stop feeling guilty and stay with the people who love you? Stay as my friend, as one of my ladies so that our children can grow up to be as close as we are.
Lola: Nothing would make me happier. Well there is one thing. No decision has been made on a godmother. I want it to be you. I know it puts you in an awkward position, but there is no one I trust more with my child than you.
Mary: I would be honored.
Mary: I am your Queen. I command you.
Lord Narcisse: You will command nothing! I don't fear you. I don't fear your husband! Because without me, without the other nobles your power disappears. We are the outside world and we surround you.
So I sent you here to wed a king and find you engaged to a bastard.
Marie de Guise
