The King and the Chorus Girl

Duchess Anna of Elberfield:
You're a very fortunate young lady, Miss Ellis.

Miss Dorothy Ellis:
And a very nervous one. You see, I've never met royalty before. I don't think I'll know how to act. We haven't any royalty in America.

Count Humbert Evel Bruger:
Well, I don't want to tell you how to run your country, but that is a mistake. A smart, well-dressed royalty--awfully good for the tourist trade.

Miss Dorothy Ellis:
Well, we're getting along...

Count Humbert Evel Bruger:
Oh, well...mmm-hmm...well, of course, if you're satisfied just to be 'getting along'!

Miss Dorothy Ellis:
Paris is very beautiful, isn't it?

Alfred Bruger VII:
Very.

Miss Dorothy Ellis:
Um, tell me--is it true you've never seen Paris by daylight?

Alfred Bruger VII:
[surprised] Quite true!

Miss Dorothy Ellis:
And, furthermore, is it true you haven't seen daylight for years?

Alfred Bruger VII:
[laughing] Also quite true!

Miss Dorothy Ellis:
Aren't you curious?

Alfred Bruger VII:
Well, I have memories of the sun of my childhood days. 'Tisn't much. I think Edison's doing a better job.

Footman:
[watching Alfred going into the 'Franco-Americain Restaurant'] *Look* where he's going! Why, *I* wouldn't even eat in there.

Chauffeur:
He'll get poisoned!

Footman:
Yes. And they serve it in such small portions.
