• The King : I have discovered a new musical instrument which I thought might amuse you.

  Ludwig : As ruler of half your kingdom, I think it my duty to tell you that I simply loathe music.

  The King : [pointedly]  As ruler of the other half, I suspect that you may change your mind. Shepherd, would you play us a tune?

  Voice of Flute : [the Shepherd plays and this song is heard]  O King, pray listen to my tale./ I sleep beneath the tree./ My master Ludwig raised his sword/ And drove it into me./ I'll never walk the earth again/ Or hear a bird or plant a seed/ Till the man who slew me says he's sorry for the deed.

  The King : [angrily]  Well, Sir Ludwig?

• Ludwig : Go on, you silly sausage!

• Ludwig : Dragon! All right, lad. In you go. I'll stay here and protect your rear.

  Hans : That will take a bit of doin'.

• Ludwig : Is he there? Wake up, pudding-brain.

• Ludwig : No doubt, the filthy beggar, took one look at me and realized he'd met his match.

• Ludwig : Well, help me up, crumpet face!

• Hans : Master, don't leave me!

  Ludwig : I'm not leaving you. Cry baby. I'm going for help.

• Ludwig : Don't anger him. Just kill him!
