Princess Flavia
- 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: 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.
