- Master Little: Oh! I get it, Oh Corporate One... we are going to be rich, aren't we?
- The Kralahome: [sniffs] Well... I am.
- Louis Leonowens: [holding a crossbow] Hey, do these things still...
- [crossbow accidentally goes off and narrowly misses Master Little]
- Louis Leonowens: ...work? Sorry.
- Master Little: Good thing Master Little so little...
- Tuptim: If we stay, death. If we go to Burma, death. We have no country to go to.
- Prince Chululongkorn: We make our own country, in jungle.
- [after Anna has just received a house outside the palace]
- Anna Leonowens: I'm speechless.
- The King of Siam: For once!
- The King of Siam: Someday, you too will know everything.
- Prince Chululongkorn: When do I know that I know everything?
- The King of Siam: When you are king.
- The Kralahome: [dictating to Master Little, who will then send the dictation to Edward Ramsey] To Sir Edward Ramsey, your schoolteacher is in great danger, etc, etc.
- Master Little: [excitedly] Etc? Ooh, is that a secret code?
- The King of Siam: [praying to Buddha] Buddha, please help Anna keep awake for scientific preparation of banquet, even though she is a woman and a Christian and therefore unworthy of your interest.
- [Anna looks indignantly at the King]
- Tuptim: [holding a vase of flowers] For your room, Mrs. Anna.
- Anna Leonowens: Oh, how lovely!
- [Tuptim looks at poetry book]
- Anna Leonowens: Oh, you must have something in return.
- Tuptim: Oh no, Mrs. Anna, you will be punished for giving book to servant!
- Anna Leonowens: [giving Tuptim the poetry book] Oh, nonsense, I'm a teacher.
- [when walking on roof and Louis follows]
- Prince Chululongkorn: Not for boy, you'll get hurt.
- Louis Leonowens: That's what you said about kick-boxing - and I bloodied your nose!
- [when Louis is hiding behind his mother in fright]
- The King of Siam: Never hide behind woman's skirt, it's not brave. Also, impossible to know when she sit down!
- Anna Leonowens: [teaching King's children] I have a surprise. A new, modern, British map.
- [Anna unrolls map out on wall]
- Prince Chululongkorn: Siam is not so *small!*
- Anna Leonowens: Oh but look, England's even smaller.
- King's other children: [all at once] Ah!
- Prince Chululongkorn: But royal palace is centre of whole universe.
- Anna Leonowens: Well, I suppose we think that of all our homes really - whether you live in a palace or not.
- Prince Chululongkorn: Father, you seem so angry with changes. How can Siam be modern if you keep to old ways?
- The King of Siam: Old ways? What, what?
