  Richard Rich : If I was, who would know it?

  Sir Thomas More : You; your pupils; your friends; God. Not a bad public, that. Oh, and a quiet life.

• Richard Rich : Employ me.

  Sir Thomas More : No.

  Richard Rich : Employ me!

  Sir Thomas More : No.

  Richard Rich : I would be faithful.

  Sir Thomas More : Richard, you couldn't answer for yourself even so far as tonight.

• Richard Rich : Surely, Your Grace, when a man rises so high and so swiftly, we must think he was misplaced in his origins. That, at least, was the opinion of Aristotle.

• Richard Rich : What will you do now?

  Cromwell : Whatever's necessary.
