Robert Trow: Bob Dog

Quotes 

• King Friday XIII : And so I declare that you are a delegation to Southwood. You are to perform your duties quickly and return with your news to me. In the meantime, I will see that peace is maintained.

  Bob Dog : This piece?

  [shows the factory part] 

  King Friday XIII : No, Bob Dog. The peace of the world.

  Lady Aberlin : That's what we all want, Uncle Friday.

  King Friday XIII : Yes. If you find that Southwood wants no war, than we don't want one either. But they must destroy all of their bombs.

  Lady Elaine Fairchilde : If they have any.

  King Friday XIII : Of course. Now, you may leave. You have your lunches, I assume?

  Lady Aberlin : Yes, we do, Uncle Friday. Thank you for them.

  King Friday XIII : Well, soldiers of peace need something to eat just like soldiers of war.

  Lady Elaine Fairchilde : Soldiers of peace. Hmm. I like that. I'll bet Betty Okanak will like that, too.

  Lady Aberlin : So do I. Let's go to Southwood.

  King Friday XIII : Farewell!

  Lady Aberlin : Farewell.

  Lady Elaine Fairchilde : We'll do our best.

• King Friday XIII : Lady Elaine, Lady Aberlin and Bob Dog, I presume?

  Lady Aberlin , Lady Elaine Fairchilde , Bob Dog : Correct as sometimes, King Friday.

  King Friday XIII : What do you mean, as sometimes?

  Lady Aberlin : Well, Uncle Friday, they're not building bombs in Southwood.

  King Friday XIII : They're not?

  Handyman Negri : So, really?

  King Friday XIII : Oh, well, wait a minute! What are they using those million parts for?

  Bob Dog : They've built a beautiful bridge with them, King Friday.

  King Friday XIII : A bridge? You mean they didn't even make one bomb?

  Lady Aberlin : Not one, Uncle Friday. Now, what do you think of your peace soldiers' report?

  King Friday XIII : I'm shocked. Sadly bewildered am I.

  Lady Aberlin : Why are you?

  King Friday XIII : Because I should've done what you peace soldiers did before I ever trained the generals or built the bombs. I don't know how I could've been so thoughtless.

  Lady Elaine Fairchilde : Why, Friday, you're talking like a human being.

  King Friday XIII : But that's what I am, Fairchilde.

  Lady Elaine Fairchilde : I know that, and human beings make mistakes once in a while.

  King Friday XIII : I should've listened to you all sooner.

  Lady Aberlin : Later is far better than never, Uncle Friday.

• King Friday XIII : I shall report to the Royal Family that the war is over!

  Lady Elaine Fairchilde : It's not over, Friday.

  King Friday XIII : What do you mean, Fairchilde?

  Lady Elaine Fairchilde : It never began. We never had a war!

  King Friday XIII : Oh, so we didn't. My father, and grandfather, and great grandmother will be so proud that we didn't. It's better that way.

  Lady Aberlin , Handyman Negri , Bob Dog : Far, far better.
