[after observing that Sarah's mission is doing poorly] Do I give you a fair rundown?

You know, I imagine there's only one thing that's been in as many different hotel rooms as I have: the Gideon Bible. Don't tangle with me on the Good Book. I must've read it through at least a dozen times.

Thomas Seymour:
If you were queen of England, what would you do, eh? Would you give your admiral the opportunity to do great deeds?
Young Bess: I'd give him the opportunities he never dared to dream about. I'd send him around the globe as the Portuguese do. I'd send him to the New World to let the Spaniards know that they are no longer masters of it.

There are two waiters and at least four musicians at the club who I know for a fact hate my guts. Let 'em. I don't care.
