Reign Quotes
Greer: Charlene, there are other clients you might make yourself available to.
Charlene: I'm available. Because I'm a whore, you see, that's the point.
Francis: I cannot believe that you would base your choice solely on international policy. Once you spoke to me about the need for love. What would this encounter be? Are you saying that you are hoping to us beginning again?

Conde: I hear you. I do. But of all the reasons you've expound of why we can't be together none are of the heart. I have to fight every instinct I have pulling me toward you. When I'm near you I am aware of every breath you take and when I am away even the wind in the trees reminds me of you.

Conde: If you want me to court your friend, don't ask me to spend another minute in your presence, not now. If you don't want us together, if it no longer services you, then say it. Be honest about the power you hold over all of us. Be honest about what you want so we can all get on with our lives.
Mary: I don't want you to court Lola.
