Conde: I have done nothing but be a friend to you and to Francis, doing your bidding no matter the peril or price.
Francis: But you must understand...
Conde: That there is bad blood between our lines?! You think I don't know that? You call us murderers after all you've done to our family. You destroyed our brother. Maimed him, left him for dead!
Francis: [to Bash] Is this true?
Conde: In the Italian wars, wars we fought for the house of Valois, you stabbed him in the back you coward. You are the murderers.

Narcisse: Where are you off to?
Catherine: Dinner, with Lord Conde. Your favorite.
Duke of Guise: And we should meet after, correct?
Catherine: The Lavender House. The north end of the grounds. The greenhouse is magical this time of year. [Duke kisses Catherine's hand]
Narcisse: I had sex in that greenhouse once. It was a lovely venue.

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.

[to Narcisse] Or, more accurately, did you think that just because you don't entertain women my age that no other men do?

Catherine

Duke of Guise: What I meant is your official mourning period is over.
Catherine. Ah.
Duke of Guise: And I'm here to court you.
Catherine: You say that as if I just won a prize. You can't be serious.

We have all been hurt by this assassin's poison and no one hurts my family and lives to tell the tale. Whoever they are, they will pay the price and their family will weep tears stained with blood.

Catherine

Narcisse: The question would be who poisoned it.
Francis: Yes, Narcisse, that would be the question. Thank you for pointing out the obvious and will you please stop doting on my mother!

Francis: How could you send me to another? How?
Mary: Because I love you. And one of us should be happy.

The book is deadly.

Catherine

There are those who merely believe they have power, and there are those who actually have it.

Narcisse

Catherine: Syphilis? Oh, Henry! Oh that is so like him. Hmm. A last gift so I'll never forget him or his whores.
Claude: Don't be so gloomy, mother. I have a rather rambunctious friend who underwent the cures and...oh wait...she did say they were rather excruciating. I'll send for her specialist.
Catherine: Why, thank you.

  • Permalink: Syphilis?
  • Added:

Catherine: This is for killing my babies! This is for taking my husband, tearing my family apart and this is for turning my daughter against me!
Diane: I did it for Henry.
Catherine: How perfect! He did it all for Henry, too! You loved him so much, he's... all... yours!
