  • Film Man: Have you a favorite movie star, Princess?
  • Princess Olga: Oh, yah yah.
  • Film Man: Would it be a male star?
  • Princess Olga: Oh sure.
  • Film Man: If the question isn't too personal, the name?
  • Princess Olga: Vee tell you. Mickey Moose-y.
  • Lady Gertrude Allwyn: What is that?
  • Princess Olga: Why it's one of those things, you know, one of those come-to-you go-from-you things.
  • Lady Gertrude Allwyn: A concertina. And very vulgar. A definite symbol of the lower classes. Put the thing on the floor and it crawls.
  • Princess Olga: Poor, dear Uncle Rudy. Somebody was always shooting at him.
  • Morevitch: In my country, they shoot at everybody's uncle.
  • King Mantell: Your Highness, there's something wrong with your tub.
  • Princess Olga: Vat?
  • King Mantell: Yes, you see, the water runs in and it runs out, but the trouble is it runs out faster than it runs in. I discovered it this morning when I was trying to take a bath. It can only draw about that much water
  • [his fingers show an inch]
  • King Mantell: and you can't take a bath with that much water
  • [shows an inch again]
  • Princess Olga: Vell, if you're a ploomb-er, why don't you fix it?
  • King Mantell: Well, I'm not a ploomb-er, uh, I mean, a plumber, but I think I could fix it. Have you got a screwdriver?
  • Lady Gertrude Allwyn: A screwdriver? Her Highness is not in the habit of going around with a screwdriver on her person.
  • Princess Olga: [to Mantell] Please go avay.
  • King Mantell: Well, I was only trying to help, but may I suggest that when you want to take a bath, you should take a shower.
  • [walks away]
  • King Mantell: Of course, there's always the ocean.
  • [Exits]
  • Princess Olga: [dropping her phony Swedish accent] I'd like to smack that guy right in the kisser.
  • Princess Olga: Oh, my poof!
  • [fishing out her sopping wet powder puff]
  • King Mantell: Your what?
  • Princess Olga: My powder poof! It is vet!
  • [squeezing it out onto his shoes]
  • Princess Olga: You enjoyed the cocktails, didn't you?
  • Lady Gertrude Allwyn: The first two or three. After the fifth or sixth I was utterly bored.
  • Princess Olga: I tink I smell a moose-y.
  • Princess Olga: What do you expect me to do? Sit around and twiddle my thumbs?
  • Lady Gertrude Allwyn: There are plenty of proper gentlemen on board without you drinking cocktails with a concertina squeezer.
  • Princess Olga: I had a good time. Who said: uneasy lies the head that wears the crown?
  • Lady Gertrude Allwyn: You know I was a married woman before I knew that Kings didn't sleep with their crowns on.
  • Princess Olga: Where do they put them? Under the bed?
  • King Mantell: If you're ever in any kind of trouble, you can count on me.
  • Princess Olga: Oh, why do you think I should be in any trouble?
  • King Mantell: Oh, I dunno. This is a strange ship, and there are some very odd people aboard.
  • Princess Olga: Ja, and the oddest of them all is you.
  • Princess Olga: Well, if you really know who the murderer is, why don't you tell them now?
  • King Mantell: I would if I knew. The point is I don't.
  • Princess Olga: Then why did you say you did?
  • King Mantell: Because to catch a rat you have to have cheese.
  • Princess Olga: I don't get it.
  • King Mantell: I'm the cheese. When the rat comes to nibble, bang goes the trap.
  • Princess Olga: With the cheese in it.
  • King Mantell: Not if it's a smart piece of cheese.
  • Princess Olga: Id like to smack that guy in the kisser.
  • Princess Olga: Scram.
  • King Mantell: What did you say?
  • Princess Olga: Oh... Scrom. In Sweeden, it means the interview is ended.
