• Prince Richard : Something ghastly has happened to this room.

  Princess Alecia : I cleaned it up.

• Princess Alecia : I'd like to sympathize with you but unfortunately life isn't always perfect.

  Prince Richard : Well, for a prince it jolly well ought to be.

  Princess Alecia : But it isn't.

  Prince Richard : Why not?

  Princess Alecia : Because princes are human beings and human beings aren't perfect. Of course, I come pretty close.

• Prince Richard : I say, do you know where you are?

  Princess Alecia : I know exactly where I am. I'm lost.

• Prince Richard : Why can't I find a woman who's... who's kind, and gentle and understanding?

  Princess Alecia : And *fun*, Richard, and fun.

  Prince Richard : And fun. Someone who's... who's... Well, just like you. Oh, I say.

• Queen Veronica : Who is this?

  Prince Richard : This is Princess Alecia, who happens to be the girl I've decided to m-m-m-m...

  Princess Alecia : Marry.

  Prince Richard : Thank you.

• Princess Alecia : Just a minute, you haven't passed my test. To see if you're a real prince or not.

  Prince Richard : [he sputters]  That is absurd, of course I'm the prince. Ask anybody.

  Princess Alecia : Wait a minute. This is the test. You have to kiss me.

  Prince Richard : That's it?

  Princess Alecia : Would you wait a minute? You have to kiss me. And if you're a real prince, then I should hear trumpets playing and bells ringing, and I should see stars exploding.

  Prince Richard : Oh, Lord. I... I suppose I could give it a whirl.

• Princess Alecia : You could have backed me up!

  The Fool : A Fool who meddles is soon unemployed, if you get my drift.
