Eleanor: You'd only just found Rosamund.
Henry: Not her so damn particularly. I found other women.
Eleanor: Countless others.
Henry: What's your count?
Reuploading this because my last version sank with my old account. Exactly what it says on the tin, Hozier's "Eat Your Young" with various monologues from The Lion in Winter (1968) spliced in between.
[Caption: screenshots of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitania in The Lion in Winter. They’re talking alone, next to a Christmas tree, sitting close together.
Henry: How hard do you find living in your castle?
Eleanor: It was difficult in the beginning, but that’s passed. I find I’ve seen the world enough!
Henry: I’ll never let you loose (pause where they look at each other affectionately). You led too many civil wars against me.
Eleanor: (making him smile) And I damn near won the last one. Still, as long as I get trotted out for Christmas courts and state occasions now and then! For I do like to see you. That’s enough.
Eleanor: I’m famished. Let’s go in to dinner.
Henry; (taking her hand) Arm-in-arm.
Eleanor: (putting both of her hands on his arm) And hand-in-hand. You’re still a marvel of a man.
“Mad. Maddening. Genius. There’s a talent, a big one, beneath which is magic and absolutely no discipline. When he works, and he works well, no one is better. But almost all other moments call for him to be spanked.”

“Kate! I mean, what can I say? Say all the cliches in the world! I love her. I’ve nothing but total admiration and affection for her and I would do anything for her.” — Peter O’Toole (The Dick Cavett Show, 1972)
“Everything you hear about the true American spirit -- the matriarchy and the femininity and the toughness -- you find in Kate Hepburn. She was funny as hell and brave and dotty. Kate! I gave my daughter her name.” — Peter O’Toole (Esquire, 2007)
Such an interesting movie. Like a coming home for holidays movie but with a royal family. Had some funny light hearted moments and a crazy good cast. Great dialogue.
