King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow (1992 Video Game)

Neil Ross: Chess Knights

Quotes 

• Prince Alexander : Excuse me good knights, but the red queen lost her scarf

  Chess Knights, Additional Voices : The Red Queen's always losing her scarves. She finds it fashionable.

• Chess Knights, Additional Voices : [If Prince Alexander tries to enter Chessboard land, the two red and white knight horses will block his way]  Checkmate, only chess pieces allowed in Chessboard land.

  Chess Knights, Additional Voices : That's right. Humans aren't allowed in and never will be, Stay out!

  [Prince Alexander backs off and the red and white Chess Queens hops over to the gate and they look at each other] 

  Red Chess Queen : I must insist your highness, I shall send the lump of coal to the vizier and the princess as a present for their wedding and that's the end of it.

  White Chess Queen : And I suppose you'll leave me with only this stupid spoiled egg to send your highness, I want to impress the new king and queen of the realm as much as you do. As queen of this island, I have every right to that lump of coal

  Red Chess Queen : Who isn't queen of this isle, the lump of coal is in my possession, therefore, I shall do as I please with it, besides, there's nothing wrong with that spoiled egg.

  White Chess Queen : The egg, they're delightfully spoiled, it's not nearly so valuable as the lump of coal and you know it. Your highness always got to carry the singing stone. It's not fair that you get the coal too.

  Red Chess Queen : That doesn't count, the singing stone was stolen by that horrid beast, I shall get to keep the coal because my stone was stolen.

  White Chess Queen : It wasn't your stone! It belonged to the Isle of Wonder treasury, your highness always thinks that everything is hers!

  [both queens turns and looks at Alexander] 

  Red Chess Queen : Excuse me my good man, but could you settle an argument for us?

  White Chess Queen : Which of us should get to carry the coal and which the egg, remember, white is the color of deserving truth and virtue.

  Red Chess Queen : Quiet your highness! And let him make up his own mind. I for one shall be more proper, and not even mention the fact that red is the color of love.

  Prince Alexander : I'm sorry your majesties, I'm partial to both red and white, but I'm afraid that I don't know how to solve your problem, one of your will just have to be gracious and allow the other the lump of coal.

  White Chess Queen : What a ridiculously stupid idea!

  Red Chess Queen : Quite ludicrous!

  White Chess Queen : He was a lot of help wasn't he?

  Red Chess Queen : Oh yes, obviously a man of high intelligence's.

  [They both turn back and hops down the path but the red queens scarf drops on the ground] 

  Red Chess Queen : The lump of coal goes much better with my gown anyway. Black and red are imperial colors,

  White Chess Queen : That's the silliest thing I ever heard. Red does not go with anything being much too self conscious, white is the perfect accompaniment to any color.

• Prince Alexander : [If Alexander talks to the 2 Chess Knights, they will block the entrance]  Excuse me, what land lies beyond?

  Chess Knights, Additional Voices : What land? Chessboard Land, ye knave!

  Prince Alexander : I see. And is Chessboard Land part of the Land of the Green Isles?

  Chess Knights, Additional Voices : It is the home of the red and white queens, rulers of the Isle of Wonder, fairest of the islands that owe loyalty to the king of the Land of the Green Isles!

  Chess Knights, Additional Voices : But perhaps not for long!

  Prince Alexander : What do you mean?

  Chess Knights, Additional Voices : What is the purpose of unity with the great king and queen dead? The princess is worth serving, but the feud with the other isles is strong.

  [the Chess Knights go back to their posts while the White Queen and Red Queen hops over to the entrance]
