Nigel Terry: Sir Thomas Grey

Quotes 

• Sir Thomas Grey : Why does everyone think being a knight is so damned splendid? Most die in their first battle.

• Sir Thomas Grey : You're going with the bishop to his monastery in Scotland.

  Cedric Grey : No.

  Armus Grey : The clergy can be a wonderful life of spirituality and peace.

  Cedric Grey : Good. Then you can go in my place.

  Armus Grey : Well, I would gladly, but for that celibacy problem.

  Sir Thomas Grey : You're not helping, you know.

• Bishop : [to Cedric]  You're dressed more like a knight than a cleric.

  Sir Thomas Grey : He's young, your grace. He has a romanticized view of combat.

  Bishop : Well, there can be no greater battle than the war over men's souls.

• John Mullens : It would be wise for you to teach your children some manners, Sir Thomas.

  Sir Thomas Grey : You're quite right. Richard, the next time you shove John Mullens over a table, say "Excuse me."

• [Eleanor has helped Daniel to escape from the dungeon] 

  Sir Thomas Grey : You're to stay in your room.

  Eleanor Grey : Like a child.

  Sir Thomas Grey : For doing a childish thing.

  Eleanor Grey : And what if I refuse to stay?

  Sir Thomas Grey : You seem fond of the dungeon lately. Perhaps you'll be more comfortable there.

• Eleanor Grey : I was wrong and stupid. You were right about everything.

  Sir Thomas Grey : I was?

  Eleanor Grey : I should yield more to your experience.

  Sir Thomas Grey : And I to your heart, which is that what makes me love you so.
