Ownership Dispute Over The Pink Panther Diamond
Simone Clouseau:
If I'm not being too nosy your highness, I read somewhere there was some dispute over the ownership of the Pink Panther.
Princess Dala:
It belongs to me. It was a gift from my late father. I shall never surrender it.
Sir Charles Lytton:
Why should you?
Princess Dala:
When the present government seized power, they claimed the diamond was the property of the people. There's even some talk of the international court deciding the issue.
Sir Charles Lytton:
I'll tell you what, why don't I steal the diamond, leave that old glove or whatever it is behind, and you and I can split the insurance.
Princess Dala:
All right.
George Lytton: [to Princess Dala]
I feel like dancing. Your Highness?
Princess Dala:
I'd love to.
