Cherie Lunghi: Lady Elizabeth

Quotes 

• Lady Elizabeth : You don't like me very much, do you?

  Eleanor Grey : It doesn't matter what I like, does it?

  Lady Elizabeth : What do you like, Eleanor?

  Eleanor Grey : The crossbow. It kills quickly, cleanly, and with great effect. Does that shock you, Lady Elizabeth?

  Lady Elizabeth : Do you wish that it would?

• Eleanor Grey : Why do you want my father? Aren't three dead husbands enough?

  [Lady Elizabeth slaps Eleanor and Eleanor slaps Lady Elizabeth in return] 

  Lady Elizabeth : It's always good when women understand each other.

• Lady Elizabeth : Thomas, we're not perfect. Not father, not daughter, not friends who love you.

• Eleanor Grey : Why should you help me?

  Lady Elizabeth : Because I've know what it is to have love keep missing my grasp - and because I'm a woman.

• Lady Elizabeth : Rant and wail until these old walls shake - it won't change the truth. You're sending your daughter into bondage.

  Sir Thomas Grey : I gave my word.

  Lady Elizabeth : And how I hope that word comforts you when you see in the hatred in the eyes that once worshipped you.
