Prince Albert : We will not starve, then.

[Prince Ernest has taken Prince Albert to a German brothel for his stag night. Albert has reluctantly chosen a prostitute, Gretchen, and they have gone to her room. As she sits on his knee, they speak in German, which is translated into English subtitles]
Prince Albert : [as Gretchen starts to kiss Albert] No.
Gretchen : I know I am not the youngest girl but I am very proficient.
Prince Albert : I don't want to engage with you, Gretchen, but as I am here, I would like you to instruct me in the matters in which you are proficient.
Gretchen : Instruct you?
Prince Albert : Yes. Do you have a pen and paper, so that I may take notes?
Gretchen : [bewildered] Notes?
Prince Albert : For the finer points.
[Gretchen turns away so Albert cannot see that she is sniggering at his pomposity]

Prince Albert : [realizing that Ernest has taken him to a brothel] Ernest, this is a house of ill repute!
