Miscommunication About Albert's Quirky Behavior

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.

An Unexpected Walk Together

Jimmy Dobson You going somewhere special?

Princess Veronica No. Just for a walk.

Jimmy Dobson Well, I'll go with you.

Princess Veronica Careful of what?

Princess Veronica Things?

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

Samson and Delilah

The Nature of Divine Power

Samson Look about you, Delilah. The moon that lights this oasis by night and the sun that lights it by day are not there by chance. In the beginning, there was only darkness, until one power created light and shaped the Earth and all the things that live upon it.

Delilah Your invisible God.

Samson My strength comes from Him.

Delilah But how does His power reach you? Is He here with us now?

Samson He's everywhere. In the wind, in the sea, in the fire. In your heart if you believe in Him. His is the only power in the world that can break open a seed and raise it into that great tree.

[Samson and Delilah look up at a palm tree.]

Delilah And can I share this power with you?

Samson Anyone can share it. It's a gift that makes men greater than themselves. With it, some can stir the soul with music. Others can read the truth in men's hearts and forgive them. To me, it's the strength to break any bonds that can be put upon me.

Delilah Will you always have this strength?

Samson As long as I keep faith with the Almighty. A long time ago, I was dedicated to Him. Many of the vows I've broken, but one I've kept.

Delilah A vow has made you strong?

Samson Oh, it's much more than that. Do you remember the lion I killed?

[pauses]

Delilah I'll never forget.

Samson The strength of the lion makes him king of beasts. The great ruff of his mane is the mark of his power.

Delilah Go on, Samson.

Samson Men of the desert know that the long flowing mane of the stallion is the mark of his power. Among my people, they say that the strongest ram has the heaviest wool. But clip the mark of his power... shear him, and he becomes a thing to laugh at. The shield of his strength is gone. You've seen the eagle climb the sky. But pluck the two prime feathers from the tip of one wing, and the mighty eagle can no longer fly. The mark of his power is gone.

Delilah The mark of his power. Samson. This is the mark of your power. It's your hair. If it were shorn from your head...

[puts her hands on Samson's head and grabs his hair]

Samson I'd be as weak as any other man.

Delilah You believe that this great God of yours has given you your power through your hair? You do believe that, don't you?

Samson From the beginning, my mother taught me so.

Delilah Your power is in your hair. What a beautiful power it is. Look how it curls around my finger. Black as a raven's wing and wild as a storm. Shall I pull it out and steal your power?

Samson You cannot steal what's yours already.

Confused Conversations Across European Cities

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.

Samson and Delilah

Weaving a Crown with Intent

Samson What do you want with those green withes? Planning to snare a rabbit?

Delilah No... a lion.

Samson With those?

Delilah I'm weaving you a crown.

Samson A lion with lilies in his mane?

Delilah Hold these. This crown will have a secret power.

Samson For its wearer or its weaver?

Delilah Only a secret can buy a secret.

Samson I have no secrets left to tell.

Delilah You never told me why you're stronger than other men. Is it some herb you mix in your food or some charmed oil you rub into your body?

Samson What would you do if you knew the secret of my strength?

Delilah Bind you.

Samson Why?

Delilah So you could never leave me.

Proper Hand-Kissing Etiquette Explained

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. But, not too slowly.

[Jimmy's lips remain on her hand]

Princess Veronica Well, then, step.

Trust and Fear in Relationships

Ephraim Poster Nothing's happened between us.

Jenny Hager No, but which of us will he believe?

A Conversation of Refusal and Disconnection

Samson Delilah...

Delilah No, I will not listen.

Samson But you asked me to...

Delilah I don't want to hear you.

Samson Three times you plagued me to tell you.

Delilah And three times you've lied to me. You said new ropes that had never been used would hold you.

Samson Who knows the strength of a rope that's never been used?

Delilah Then you told me your strength would go if I wove your hair to the web of my loom. Now look at my loom.
