Quotes

  [turns back to himself]

  Benno : But, what if she doesn't show up?

  Prince Siegfried : She will show up...

  [turns to himself] 

  Prince Siegfried : If you looked in her eyes the way I have, Benno. You know that she can never break a promise anyone. Never.

  Margarita : What are you waiting for?

  Hans : Huh? Why do I have to come?

• Prince Siegfried : I just don't understand it.

  Benno : Excuse me, your highness... I don't think it's hard to understand it all. That swan with a crown must be some kind of a witch. When you come to think of it, no one has ever be to the other side of that lake. Never.

  Prince Siegfried : No. No, I can't believe anything is beautiful as that swan could possibly be a witch.

  Benno : But, your highness. You saw Adolph get turned into a statue when he tries to shoot that swan. If you take my advice, your highness, you won't ever go anywhere near that enchanted lake again.

• Benno : What have you got turned into a frog or something?

  Prince Siegfried : Well then, I'll just have to find a beautiful princess to kiss me and turn me back into a prince.

• Prince Siegfried : [notices that Adolph is shoots it]  What are you doing?

  Adolph : I'm going to bring that swan home. So, you could hang her up over the fireplace.

  Prince Siegfried : No, don't shoot!

  Prince Siegfried : Adolph!

  [comes to him, gasps in horror] 

  Prince Siegfried : Look! Adolph's been turned into a statue!

  Benno : I knew this must be something strange about this forest, your highness. I bet it has something to do with that mysterious swan.

  Prince Siegfried : But, she was so beautiful.

  Benno : We best get out of here in a hurry, your highness, before the sun goes down.
