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 : [prompting] Each, in its own way...

[in a taxi in Rome; Princess Ann is drugged]
Joe Bradley : Where do you live?
Princess Ann : [mumbles drunkenly] ... Colosseum...

Joe Bradley : If you don't count me, yes.

Princess Ann : [beaming with a smile] How do you do?
Joe Bradley : How do you do?

Joe Bradley : How much would a real interview with this dame be worth?
Mr. Hennessey : Are you referring to Her Highness?
Joe Bradley : I'm not referring to Annie Oakley, Dorothy Lamour, or Madame... How much?
Mr. 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?
Mr. 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.
[His boss' mouth drops, awe-struck by the thought]
Joe Bradley : Can't use it, huh? I didn't think you'd like it.
Mr. Hennessey : Come here! Love angle too, I suppose.
Joe Bradley : Practically all love angle.
Mr. Hennessey : With pictures.
Joe Bradley : Could be. How much?
Mr. 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.

Joe Bradley : Oh, don't do a thing like that, Irving. Sit down, join us, join us.
Irving Radovich : Well, just till Francesca gets here.
Princess Ann : Tell me, Mr. Radovich, what is a ringer?
Joe Bradley : Oh. Er, it's an American term, and it means anybody who has a great deal of charm.
Princess Ann : Oh. Thank you.
Irving Radovich : [confused] You're welcome.

Joe Bradley : Would you like a cup of coffee?
Princess Ann : What time is it?
Joe Bradley : About one thirty.
Princess Ann : One thirty! I must get dressed and go!
Joe Bradley : *Why*. What's your hurry? There's lots of time.
Princess Ann : No, there isn't, and I've been quite enough trouble to you as it is.
Joe Bradley : Trouble?... You're not what I'd call trouble.
Princess Ann : [she smiles] I'm not?
Joe Bradley : I'll run a bath for you.
