Charles II: The Power & the Passion2003

King Charles II:
It's all been for nothing, Nell. The cause that gave my life meaning, will die with me. I fought to restore everything that was lost when my father was murdered but James will destroy it all. I know that, I've always known that.

Nell Gwynn:
Then why did you fight so hard for him?

King Charles II:
Not for him, for the principle. For the rights of Kings. Parliament will have its victory in the end.

Nell Gwynn:
You know what I think about politics; it's all a lot of foolish men scheming to ruin each other for no reason anyone can remember a few years later. If it was up to me, I'd give the throne to Monmouth. Because, in my opinion, a King should always be handsome. [laughs]

King Charles II:
Sweet Nell, how much better the world might be if it were arranged to your liking.
