Quotes:

Jack Benjamin: I'll be king on my own soon enough; your coup - we don't need to ally ourselves with the enemy. No innocent people have to die. It may take more than a month, like we want, but it will happen. We save all that blood. You'll still be by my side - as planned.
William Cross: If you only had half as much mind as charm. Your father has no intention of announcing anything - or going anywhere, heaven or hell. You've seen his lies.
Jack Benjamin: This is different; he's...
William Cross: [he slaps Jack in the head, startling him] Hey! No one *ever* changes. You were given an offer, and you accepted; in exchange, you ceded your right to whim. The change of power happens on *my* clock - not his, not yours - with *you* at *my* side. Silas falls - and soon. And be sure there will be all the blood required. The only turning back now leaves you in the same ditch. Go back to your fiancée; get used to your life - you're engaged now.
