Quotes 

• Loretta : [playing checkers]  You're really fun! You certainly aren't dull like all those princes.

  The Soldier : Maybe that's because I'm not a prince.

  Loretta : Do you think I'm pretty?

  The Soldier : Do I think you're pretty? I think you're very pretty.

  Loretta : Would you pick me to marry?

  The Soldier : I might. Except I'm a little bit older than you and I think that maybe you should be with some young, handsome man, someone who can keep up with you.

  Loretta : I should?

  The Soldier : Definitely.

  [places checker piece down] 

  The Soldier : King me.

• The Soldier : You know, most women your age are already married.

  Jeanetta : I take that as a compliment, soldier. My father has been trying to marry me off for years, but I am not marrying kind.

  The Soldier : Oh really? I would have thought otherwise.

  Jeanetta : No. I have no patience for hearts and flowers and young men who brag about this victory and that. There's more to life than romance.

• The Soldier : Eh, this cloak is a dud... God king Wenceslas, where's my arm? My arm is gone!

• The Soldier : Oh, hello.

  Jeanetta : Hello.

  The Soldier : And to what do I owe the honour of this visit, hmmm?

  Jeanetta : Well my sisters and I thought you might like some cookies and milk before retiring.

  The Soldier : Cookies and Milk? Oh, my favorite. Is that your father over there?
