Whose blood concerns you more, your husband or your lover's?

Catherine

Francis: I refuse to surrender. My reign will not end without a fight.

Francis: It means a great deal, which is why you're the last man I'd entrust her to.

Just know whatever happens, this is not the end I dreamed for us.

Mary

Francis: Mary, we're alone. There's no need...

What else could I be but a witch?

Mary: Why turn on your co-conspirator now? Catherine is your lover, your key to the power at court.
Narcisse: Because as it turns out there is one thing worse than being hated by Catherine de Medici. That is being loved by her.
