Ann Kay - TV Specialist : We're in! We got it rolling! Shell Oil, Imperial Tobacco, Lipton Tea - they're all hot. You can write your own ticket.
King Shahdov : I - I don't understand?
Ann Kay - TV Specialist : Neither does anyone! But, it's a sensation! A smash hit! Everyone's talking about it.
Ambassador Jaume : Talking about what?
Ann Kay - TV Specialist : The broadcast! It's the biggest laugh on television. They all think that it was deliberate. The sponsor thinks its the most original idea he's ever had. They're going to give it another nationwide hook-up!

Ambassador Jaume : I have an idea. You wear my hat. I'll wear your's. He'll follow me and think I'm you. And that'll give you a chance to get away.
King Shahdov : Now, wait a moment. I'm all confused. Who am I?
Ambassador Jaume : You're me and I'm you. We just exchange hats.
