Quotes
-
Duchess Anna of Elberfield : You're a very fortunate young lady, Miss Ellis.
Miss Dorothy Ellis : And a very nervous one. You see, I've never met royalty before. I don't think I'll know how to act. We haven't any royalty in America.
Count Humbert Evel Bruger : Well, I don't want to tell you how to run your country, but that is a mistake. A smart, well-dressed royalty - awfully good for the tourist trade.
Miss Dorothy Ellis : Well, we're getting along...
Count Humbert Evel Bruger : Oh, well... mmm-hmm... well, of course, if you're satisfied just to be getting along'!

Miss Dorothy Ellis : Paris is very beautiful, isn't it?
Alfred Bruger VII : Very.
Miss Dorothy Ellis : Um, tell me--is it true you've never seen Paris by daylight?
Alfred Bruger VII : [surprised] Quite true!
Miss Dorothy Ellis : And, furthermore, is it true you haven't seen daylight for years?
Alfred Bruger VII : [laughing] Also quite true!
Miss Dorothy Ellis : Aren't you curious?
Alfred Bruger VII : Well, I have memories of the sun of my childhood days. 'Tisn't much. I think Edison's doing a better job.

Miss Dorothy Ellis : Later that night we went to an amusement park. Oh, we had such fun. We rode on the roller coaster twelve times!
Count Humbert Evel Bruger : The roller coaster?
Miss Dorothy Ellis : Yes.
Duchess Anna of Elberfield : You realize he's the last of the Brugers?
Count Humbert Evel Bruger : And would be very awkward for a fourteen hundred year old family to come to an end on a roller coaster.
Duchess Anna of Elberfield : What did you do next?
Miss Dorothy Ellis : We ate frankfurters.
Duchess Anna of Elberfield , Count Humbert Evel Bruger : Frankfurters?
Miss Dorothy Ellis : Three each.
Count Humbert Evel Bruger : Three each?
Duchess Anna of Elberfield : That's even more dangerous than roller coasters.
Count Humbert Evel Bruger : Oh, it's wicked - wicked.
