Prime Minister, we need to discuss who will go to the French with the peace treaty proposal. We do not need a peace treaty proposal. We have them on the run. So they will give in to us. One battle will not win the war.

Well, it will if I build it using the finest craftsmen in the land. I hope it will stand for 100 years as a symbol of my husband's gallant victory.

You seem angry at my good fortune and I thought we were friends. I really doubt you've made that mistake. I was actually just teasing. I thought you'd see that.

The French are chastened, but not defeated, Harley. We must destroy them. Make them sue for peace with broken hearts and begging backs.
