Princess Ann's Discontent with Nightwear Choices
Princess Ann I hate this nightgown. I hate all my nightgowns, and I hate all my underwear too.
Countess My dear, you have lovely things.
Princess Ann But I'm not two hundred years old. Why can't I sleep in pajamas?
Countess Pajamas?
Princess Ann Just the top part. Did you know that there are people who sleep with absolutely nothing on at all?
Countess I rejoice to say I do not.
Unexpected Accommodations in Unusual Circumstances
Princess Ann Can I sleep here?
Joe Bradley Well, that's the general idea.

[He presents her with his own oversized pajamas]
Princess Ann Pajamas!

Joe Bradley Uh, OK. There you are, you can handle the rest.
[pause; He removes her necktie]

[He takes her hand]
Faith in Friendship Among Nations
Reporter And what, in the opinion of Your Highness, is the outlook for friendship among nations?
Princess Ann I have every faith in it... as I have faith in relations between people.
Joe Bradley May I say, speaking for my own... press service: we believe Your Highness's faith will not be unjustified.
Princess Ann I am so glad to hear you say it.
Another reporter Which of the cities visited did Your Highness enjoy the most?
General Provno Each, in its own way...

Valuing an Interview with Royalty
Joe Bradley How much would a real interview with this dame be worth?
Hennessey Are you referring to Her Highness?
Joe Bradley I'm not referring to Annie Oakley, Dorothy Lamour, or Madame ... How much?
Hennessey What do you care? You've got about as much chance...
Joe Bradley I know, but if I did? How much would it be worth?
Hennessey Oh, just a plain talk on world issues, it would probably be worth two hundred and fifty. Her views on clothes, of course, would be worth a lot more, maybe a thousand...dollars.
Joe Bradley I'm talking about her views on everything!...The private and secret longings of a Princess. Her innermost thoughts as revealed to your own correspondent in a private, personal, exclusive interview. Can't use it, huh? I didn't think you'd like it.
[His boss' mouth drops, awe-struck by the thought]
Hennessey Come here! Love angle too, I suppose.
Joe Bradley Practically all love angle.
Hennessey With pictures.
Joe Bradley Could be. How much?
Hennessey That particular story will be worth five grand to any news service....
Joe Bradley ...You said five grand? I want you to shake on that.
Unexpected Illness Disrupts Scheduled Appointments
Hennessey In view of the fact that our Highness was taken violently ill at three o'clock this morning, put to bed with a high fever, and has ordered all her appointments for the day cancelled in toto...
[after Joe said he just interviewed the princess]
Joe Bradley That's certainly pretty hard to swallow.
Hennessey In view of the fact that you just left her, of course.
A Conversation on Deception and Truthfulness
Princess Ann I'm a good liar too, aren't I, Mr. Bradley?

Unusual Moments Between Princess and Commoner
Princess Ann This is very unusual. I've never been alone with a man before - even with my dress on. With my dress off, it's most unusual. I don't seem to mind. Do you?
[She begins unbuttoning and removing her blouse]
Joe Bradley I think I'll go out for a cup of coffee. You'd better get to sleep. No, no, no. On this one.
[pause; She flops on his bed; He leads her toward the couch]
Princess Ann How terribly nice.
Joe Bradley Hey - these are pajamas. They're to sleep in. You're to climb into them, you understand?...Then you do your sleeping on the couch, see. Not on the bed, not on the chair, on the couch. Is that clear?
A Difficult Goodbye Between Two Characters
Princess Ann I have to leave you now. I'm going to that corner there and turn. You must stay in the car and drive away. Promise not to watch me go beyond the corner. Just drive away and leave me as I leave you.
Joe Bradley All right.
Princess Ann I don't know how to say goodbye. I can't think of any words.
Joe Bradley Don't try.
[They sadly hug and kiss]
A Day of Unexpected Kindness
Princess Ann We spent the whole day doing things I've always wanted to. Why?

Joe Bradley It wasn't any trouble.
Princess Ann Also, completely unselfish.
