• Princess Veronica : I'm sure he means every other word he says!

• Jimmy Dobson : You going somewhere special?

  Princess Veronica : No. Just for a walk.

  Jimmy Dobson : Well, I'll go with you.

  Princess Veronica : Why?

  Jimmy Dobson : Well, you're a stranger here. A babe like you with a face like that, has got to be awfully careful in a world like this.

  Princess Veronica : Careful of what?

  Jimmy Dobson : Oh, things.

  Princess Veronica : Things?

  Jimmy Dobson : Well, men. I'm sorry to say, that we can't be trusted.

• Princess Veronica , Jimmy Dobson : [singing]  While strolling through the park one day, in the merry, merry month of May. I was taken by surprise, by a pair of roguish eyes,

  Jimmy Dobson : [singing]  While strolling through the park one day.

  Princess Veronica : How was I?

  Jimmy Dobson : Well, baby, you're terrific.

• Baron Zoltan Faludi : Why do you think I followed you here?

  Princess Veronica : To make love to me.

  Baron Zoltan Faludi : [leans in]  Just for a practice.

  Princess Veronica : You don't need any.

• Princess Veronica : Now, when you kiss a lady's hand, don't be so athletic about it - or, so noisy! Don't snatch it up as if it were cake and you were going to bite it. The lips are brought to the hand - and not the hand to the lips. Remember that, next time.

  Jimmy Dobson : Yes, your Highness. Could next time, be now?

  Princess Veronica : Very well. But, remember, don't snatch - and don't smack! Now, crisply. And slowly.

  [Jimmy's lips remain on her hand] 

  Princess Veronica : But, not too slowly.

• Princess Veronica : Hi, babe!

  Albert Weever : Look, lady, I didn't know you was a Princess. I thought you was a woman!

  Princess Veronica : I'm both, Albert.

• Princess Veronica : There's nothing wrong with me, really.

  Jimmy Dobson : Are you sure?

  Princess Veronica : You see, well, the Budapest was Hungary and the Cairo got Madrid and wouldn't Lisbon. So, the Balkans couldn't Bucharest and that's what made Naples truer than Cologne.

  Jimmy Dobson : Oh. Oh, I see.

  Princess Veronica : You do?

  Jimmy Dobson : Oh, of Corsica.

• Jimmy Dobson : It's going to be a beautiful night, too. At least, that's my frank opinion.

  Princess Veronica : Mine too.

  Jimmy Dobson : Well, for stepping out, I mean.

  Princess Veronica : For what?

  Jimmy Dobson : For going somewhere and doing something.

  Princess Veronica : Oh, you want to step out tonight? Is that it?

  Jimmy Dobson : Yeah! That's it. That certainly is it.

  Princess Veronica : Well, then, step.

• Baron Zoltan Faludi : I mean every word, Veronica, every word I say to you, I mean from the bottom of my heart.

  Princess Veronica : But, you're not here? You're in Budapest?

  Baron Zoltan Faludi : I can fly, even if I'm not an angel.

• Albert Weever : How's about a kiss?

  Princess Veronica : No, thank you.

  Albert Weever : The pleasure would be mutual.

• Jimmy Dobson : Don't mind Albert, he's harmless. He's just a bit babe-whacky, that's all.

  Princess Veronica : He's what?

  Jimmy Dobson : Dame dizzy! You know, he's got nights on his mind.

  Princess Veronica : Knights? On his mind?

  Jimmy Dobson : Well, he likes tomatoes.

  Princess Veronica : They're good for him.

  Jimmy Dobson : Not the kind Albert likes. Say, you're a foreigner, aren't you.

  Princess Veronica : Yes.

  Jimmy Dobson : Well, now, look Toots, I'll explain it to you. Over here, we have two kinds of tomatoes. One is the vegetable. The other is you.

  Princess Veronica : Me? I am a tomato?

  Jimmy Dobson : Oh, Grade A and extra fancy.

• Princess Veronica : They are delicious, your hot dogs.

  Jimmy Dobson : You've never had one before?

  Princess Veronica : Never.

  Jimmy Dobson : Gee, babe, you just haven't been anywhere, have you?

• Jimmy Dobson : Angel puss...

  Princess Veronica : Am I angel puss?

• Jimmy Dobson : I'm terribly sorry I'm so late; but, we got to chewin' the rag.

  Princess Veronica : You did what?

  Jimmy Dobson : We got talkin'.

• Princess Veronica : Don't you know? A woman only gets really mad at a man if he doesn't want to kiss her.

• Princess Veronica : He has intelligence, charm, a sense of humor.

  Countess Zoe : Well, what if he has? They are not what we require of our King.

• Jimmy Dobson : What do you say? Shall we blow?

  Princess Veronica : Blow? Blow what?

• Waiter at Jake's Joint : What's it gonna be folks? Pig's feet are very good tonight.

  Jimmy Dobson : Have you got any champagne?

  Waiter at Jake's Joint : Champagne? Sure. Barrels of it. Barrels of it.

  Jimmy Dobson : Is it good?

  Waiter at Jake's Joint : The best. We make it ourselves.

  Jimmy Dobson : Would you care for some?

  Princess Veronica : Yes.

  Waiter at Jake's Joint : And some pig's feet too?

  Princess Veronica : No, thank you.

• Jail Girl #1 : Gee, are these real rocks?

  Princess Veronica : No. They're diamonds.

  Jail Girl #2 : Somebody's got a Daddy.
