Her Highness and the Bellboy - 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.

Her Highness and the Bellboy - 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: [Jimmy's lips remain on her hand]
Very well. But, remember, don't snatch - and don't smack! Now, crisply. And slowly. But, not too slowly.

You going somewhere special?

No. Just for a walk.
Jimmy Dobson:

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?

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

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.

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.

Me? I am a tomato?

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: [Samson and Delilah look up at a palm tree.]
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.
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: [pauses]
Oh, it's much more than that. Do you remember the lion I killed?
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: [puts her hands on Samson's head and grabs his hair]
The mark of his power. Samson. This is the mark of your power. It's your hair. If it were shorn from your head...
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.

Samson and Delilah - 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.

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.

I'm expecting a caller.

Yes? Who?

You, Samson.

Samson and Delilah - A Journey to a New Identity
Delilah: [to Samson]
Come with me to Egypt. We'll not be Danite and Philistine there, only Samson and Delilah. In the Valley of the Nile, the air will be sweet with myrrh, and only the flight of the ibis will darken the sky. Will you come with me?
