Quotes
-
Rudolf Rassendyll : [impersonating King Rudolf V] I probably looked like a prize idiot and talked like one, too.
Princess Flavia : You're too modest. You really looked and acted like a King today.
Rudolf Rassendyll : Oh, thank you.
Princess Flavia : It was delightfully unexpected.
Rudolf Rassendyll : Oh.
-
Rudolf Rassendyll : [impersonating King Rudolf V] Well, I think everything went off very well, don't you? For a coronation, I mean, that is, not that a coronation shouldn't go well. Provided the king puts in an appearance suitably dressed and suitably rehearsed.
Princess Flavia : And suitably sober.
Rudolf Rassendyll : And suitably sober! Yes, I was hoping you would notice that.
-
Princess Flavia : I, Flavia, do become thy vassal.
-
Princess Flavia : Bless them. They're with you heart and soul.
Rudolf Rassendyll : [impersonating King Rudolf V] Me? It was you they were cheering. I felt like cheering you too when I first saw you.
-
Rudolf Rassendyll : [impersonating King Rudolf V] By the way, among my other failings, I've rather neglected you, haven't I?
Princess Flavia : Two picture post cards in three years, I think.
Rudolf Rassendyll : To think, all this time you've been changing into the loveliest princess in Europe. No, the loveliest girl in Europe.
-
Rudolf Rassendyll : [impersonating King Rudolf V] I'm crowned king, I meet the loveliest, the most beautiful woman.
Princess Flavia : Well, that isn't what you used to say. You used to call me "that clumsy little scarecrow."
Rudolf Rassendyll : I did?
Princess Flavia : Yes.
Rudolf Rassendyll : I should've been horsewhipped.
Princess Flavia : Those were my very words.
-
Rudolf Rassendyll : [impersonating King Rudolf V] I love you more than truth or life or honor.
[kiss]
Princess Flavia : Tell me, Rudolf, why is it that I love you now with all my heart, when I never even liked you before?
-
Princess Flavia : You ask that as if you'd be pleased to hear me say yes.
Rudolf Rassendyll : [impersonating King Rudolf V] Would "yes" be true?
Princess Flavia : Yes.
-
Rudolf Rassendyll : [impersonating King Rudolf V] Could you still love me if I were not the king?
Princess Flavia : In my heart there is no king, no crown. Only you.
-
Princess Flavia : Your first duty is to the boars. They would never forgive you if you didn't hunt them and kill them.
-
Princess Flavia : My darling, your heart will always be in my heart and the touch of your lips on mine.
-
Princess Flavia : I don't know why God has let me love you.
